This movie is very special today -

A phone call, a scene, and a person make people think of a brutal and violent murder scene.

Without further ado, this Danish film-

"sinner"

To tell the truth, watching this movie has to calm down and calm down in order to experience the wonderful.

The entire film is 85 minutes long, and there is no live footage. There is only a phone call from the operator, colleagues, the parties involved, and the agency, which leads to the discussion of "who is the sinner".

The story takes place in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

Asger is being investigated by the organization for shooting in a law enforcement violation.

The police station temporarily dispatched him to the alarm center, waiting for the results of the investigation at any time.

Different from the previous law enforcement investigations, the work of the alarm center is monotonous and boring.

Every day I receive help for trivial matters, such as knocked legs, posted tickets, lost my way, robbed...

Day after day, Asger waited in agony for the results of the investigation.

It wasn't until a woman called Iben called that Asger's passion for work was rekindled.

During the phone call, Ibn wept and explained to Asger the reason for calling the police intermittently.

However, from the other end of the phone, Asgar heard a man talking to a woman.

The specific content cannot be heard clearly, but it can be clearly heard that the woman is in a difficult situation and even threatened by a man.

Asgar suggested that women only need to return to yes and no.

Are you in the car now?
Yes.
Is the car white?
Yes.
Is the car a sedan?
Yes.

Based on some information obtained and the location of the mobile phone tracked, Asger called the police.

The police dispatched in time and launched a life-and-death pursuit on the highway.

But the police later replied: The white car they tracked did not have any abnormality, there was no woman, and there was no kidnapping.

Couldn't find the exact car?

Just as he was lost in thought, the phone of the police center rang again.

It was the same crying woman, who said she was being held hostage by her husband, and that she had a young daughter and son at home who needed help.

Still a hesitant answer, Asgard learned very little useful information from her mouth.

But according to the woman's description, he initially determined the contact number of the woman's house from the database.

After hanging up the woman's phone, he made a phone call at home.

The phone was answered by a 6-year-old girl, Matilda, who was home alone with her infant brother.

Before leaving home, the father rushed towards the younger brother with a knife, ready to attack the younger brother.

When my mother saw it, she rushed to the room in time and begged her husband not to do anything.

After some entanglement, Dad dragged Mommy out of the house by her hair and drove her away into the crowd.

After listening to Matilda's statement, Asger quickly comforted the injured little girl.

Teach her to breathe deeply, calm down, and he'll send the police to rescue them.

After some comfort, Matilda finally stopped crying and waited for the police to arrive at home.

After a while, she called Asger again, mixed with crying and knocking on the door.

Asger said to her gently: don't worry, open the door, the police are here.

While talking to Asger, she went to the door to open the door. The police entered the house, found the little girl, and saw a shocking scene——

Brother Matilda was covered in blood and had lost his heart.

Her brother died, and she herself was splattered with blood.

As for who is the murderer?

Nobody knows.

At this time, Iben, who was suspected of being kidnapped by her husband, called Asda again.

After confirming that she was in the back seat, Asda gave her step by step how to stop the vehicle.

First put on the seat belt, then pull the handbrake from behind before the husband is noticing.

The car would stop suddenly, the driver would be shaken, and she should protect herself.

From the phone, Asger heard the sound of sudden braking.

He seemed to be able to confirm that Ibn had succeeded.

Afterwards, Asger confirmed to her that there was something wrong with the man driving the car? What's the situation now?

The crying woman replied: He stopped screaming because I took the snake out of his stomach.

ha? What the hell?

Where did the snake come from? What happened to the crying woman?

Xiaoying will not spoil.

Anyway, the development of things has exceeded Asgard's expectations and is developing in an unbelievable direction.

It can be said that the surprise of the film is never interrupted from beginning to end. Under the minimalist film structure, the effect of the rich connotation of the characters' stories has been realized.

The film is cleverly conceived, has a tight rhythm, and has an attractive twist.

Although it is a one-man show, the plot is complete and exciting enough to be called a movie propped up by dialogue.

In fact, there are many movies that rely on mouth cannons to complete the entire play.

This kind of work with a lot of effort in the script generally has a good reputation.

For example, Japan's "Suspect in the Moon", South Korea's "Terrorist Live", Hollywood's "The Usual Suspects", and Spain's "Invisible Guest" all rely on dialogue to make skeletons.

But like "The Sinner," with lots of facial close-ups and long shots, it's just too hard for a person to bang into the air.

It's hard to get people to stop and watch carefully.

However, what is surprising is that it also gives enough room for imagination.

Through the conversation between Asgard and the phone across the line, different images of what each imagined come to the minds of the audience.

As for the content of the picture, it all depends on the imagination.

If you want to be cruel, you can imagine violence, blood.

If you want to be gentle, you can create a feeling of depression and depression.

In a sense, The Sinner is an experimental film—

Some people are surprised, some people are confused, and they are quite picky about the audience.

I don't know, will you like this movie?

    I don't think it looks good. To create a suspenseful atmosphere in a small number of scenes and a small number of characters, it is still necessary to speed up the rhythm like "Horror Live" and not be too restrained.

    Not much different from audiobooks. If you don't understand Danish, you can't miss much with your eyes closed the whole time. This form itself, lost the meaning of film art.
