There are still long shots for more than two minutes at the beginning of the film, and the male protagonist tirelessly drives around the track lap after lap, as if placing a deep symbolic meaning on the director. The next two pole dances were also displayed almost indiscriminately. There were constant front and back fights between the male protagonist and the female, without too many plot changes and emotional changes, just a state of doing nothing. The first 15 minutes of the film have been in this state with long shots until the daughter shows up.
In the same frame of the father and daughter in the early stage, there is always something in the picture that becomes a barrier between the two, and various frames divide them into two worlds. In the Italian section, the daughter is mostly at the bottom of the screen or occupies a small part of the screen, and the film expresses the relationship and status of the two through this artificial control. In the scene of an unknown woman in Italy, the use of the lens of the three-person relationship is worth learning from. Only three shots build a three-person relationship. The curtain in the middle of the main shot is cleverly used as a barrier. , supplemented by close-ups in the middle. There is a certain sense of suspense in the way the woman appears, but the still shot of cutting her head for a long time is slightly deliberate. The process of getting along with the father and daughter is indeed sweet, but the characterization is slightly thin, especially the daughter, as one of the two main characters, lacks character arcs. However, this is a film that does not focus on narrative but on feeling, and the hazy paradox may be exactly what the director wants to express. After my daughter went camping, she used negative space to describe the male protagonist's inner emptiness, such as 1/3 of the overexposed external space when driving, and a large part of the pool scene when sunbathing. There are also low-key, low-saturation light, shadow and colors that enhance the male protagonist's emotional experience and empathize the audience.
Some of the passages in the film are pretending to be deep, such as the long and slow pushing of the camera in the face-making model, the panoramic still shots of the award-winning girl dancing around the male protagonist, and the two driving at the beginning and end.
Overall, the narrative is boring, the atmosphere is good, the photography is great, and almost every frame can be a desktop orz
