"Gloomy Wind"

A work that combines stream of consciousness + original avant-garde music and heavy-toned pictures. The most important feature of the original work in 1977 is not the story itself, but the rich and strong pictures and the special shocking BGM sound effects. At the same time, it is supplemented by the side view of the indifferent city. In fact, this kind of scary trick gradually disappeared in the 1990s. On the edge, the current horror film is characterized by focusing on the thunder on the ground, and gradually infiltrating the broken fright points in the layers of foreshadowing, rather than the previous sound and picture telling you that I am a horror film from the beginning. The latter is not without its benefits. It is more aesthetically pure. The overhead of the story can make the director pay more attention to the pure technical level of work. Although there are carving marks, it is very chewy. This work starts from "flat ground", and the first third is gradually getting better, and the camera scheduling and music are gradually moving closer to the original work. The later scenes have too much stream of consciousness, which loosens the story itself, but makes it different from other aspects. It matches more, and at the same time strengthens the dance line in the original work. The choreography contributes a lot to this alienating and terrifying atmosphere. The two dances after 1h47min can be called the climax of the whole film.
