The 16th #法罗岛电影节# The 7th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "Son of Sol". Below, please see the comments of the fathers who are struggling to find a place for the "son" in the front-line zoom video!

The heart is a lonely hunter:

It's a bit boring, the story is still the old story, and there is not enough technical means to give me a new feeling, it is very mediocre.

Polaris.J:

Strongly stylized, oppressive, claustrophobic, scary, paranoid. "You will kill us all like this." Sol: "We are already dead."

Poem to Adelin:

It feels like a good story is not worth it for the form of a car, but a sentence or two or even a short comment can not be explained clearly, it can be regarded as a kind of evaluation anxiety.

Mozart Lensu:

Constantly looking for a vain obsession, there is a feeling of modernism. In this realistic environment, it actually creates another absurdity and extends the symbolic meaning behind it.

Pincent:

A lot of long shots with the protagonist, blur the background outside the protagonist, and have a sense of participation in the first person to follow the protagonist. Using one person to describe the environment of the concentration camp, it also dilutes the suffering and does not deliberately sensationalize and consume cruelty.

Mozart Lensu:

The lens focuses on a person and his perspective. The chaos and despair in the surrounding concentration camps have become more serious. At this time, like the victims who were emptied by the other protagonists, I don’t understand that the protagonist is in danger of burying his son. read. It is also possible that I am destined to be a person who has been scorned by history.

RyanRyqn:

It’s unbelievable that as such a highly completed debut, it can be so innovative in style and form, and the method and the film from the inside to observe the connotation of the terrible war coincides, as a rising star of the Hungarian director, you can see The influence of the Hungarian film tradition has the shadow of Bella Tal in the scheduling.

Fruit trees:

Very special look and feel, full experimental score, 80 points of completion. Because the sense of the environment brought by the subjective perspective is too strong, it feels that the virtual focus of the background is like the kindness of the director to the audience. The story is not complete, and many links have unclear motives. Fortunately, there is a small sublimation at the end, which brings back the rationality of the overall narrative a bit. After reading it, I feel very complicated. Looking back at my life, it seems that there are no real problems anymore.

I know her a little bit:

The chaotic era engulfed everyone, the torrent of evil pushed people forward and walk involuntarily, but there was no direction, until there was light in your eyes, that was the unique corner of your lips rising. Then you walked into a more unbearable search and pursuit, carrying and covering water, as if turned into an eternal curse, shaking and shaking, as if everything you dragged away had deteriorated, like a crazy fable, and finally hid The deep abyss. From the director to Saul, everyone is a fascist and no one is spared.

No one at midnight:

The whole process never deviated from the protagonist's perspective and range of activities, releasing the psychological high pressure that can't see the limit. A group of people were stripped naked and pushed each other to usher in the gunshots. A group of people cleaned up the corpses and ashes on the assembly line, turning them into physical machines without will. The chaotic runaways and numb emotions require hope because of madness, and because they are surrounded by indescribable terror, it is necessary to break through a faint light. Those moral judgments on the characters are too demanding, and all the pain that posterity can perceive is already a state of closed doors and darkness. We will never be able to truly complete a dialogue with history.

Cangshan ancient well air to the moon:

Hand-held photography + shallow focus long lens + narrow frame, limiting what the audience can see, the angle of view follows Thor, and the picture is also the presentation of Thor's mental state. The shallow focus follow-up shows that Sol does not pay attention to the surrounding environment, or that Sol does not project his gaze to the surroundings. The real focus part is Sol’s attention, and the rare distant real focus picture is Sol. Subjective perspective. It seems that through Sol looking for a Rabbi to mourn a dead child, the main line stringed up various scenes of the concentration camp, but these scenes were blurred. If the tragic scene of the concentration camp is Sol’s motive, then these imaginary images do not seem to be able to support this motive. It seems that it relies more on the audience's existing historical cognition. The ending is tragic, but the evasive attitude revealed on the screen can't give people more profound feelings.

Hethang:

I have to admit that this director’s debut film is of such a level. I have to admit that there are two brushes, but I always feel that there is a lame sense of pretending to be a master in order to reach the realm of a master. First of all, the atmosphere of the film is impeccably controlled. Whether it is zooming and shaking in photography, or the contrast between the use of low-pitched human-to-human conversations and the huge environmental sound in sound processing, it effectively presents the horrible suppression of concentration camps. . But after thinking about this design, there is a deliberate feeling. In addition, the plot of the film is quite weak, and many specific plots can’t find the corresponding points and seem to have no background. This way, the positive and the negative are superimposed on each other and finally presented. The effect is still slid to the negative side, and this sense of contradiction is more concentrated at the end of the film. In the end, the emotional expression of the film cannot be found, so as the plot advances, the audience can empathize with too few points. Only the actor's perseverance with a fragile performance can make the audience vaguely feel this catastrophe. The brilliance of humanity in China.

#FIFF16# The score of the 7th day of the main competition unit will be released later, please wait and see.
