The 12th #法罗岛电影节# The 5th screening day of the main competition unit will bring you "The Spring Festival Night of Spiritual Desire". Here is the evaluation of the front-line marriage men and women!

We Min Hee:

It can be seen how powerful the original script is... it's not wide-ranging, but it's digging deep and dripping with blood.

Queen of the Faroe Island Empire:

The content that makes some viewers feel maddened is the reason why I like this movie and the performances in the movie.

George:

Both the actors and the script are relatively solid, but the disadvantage is that it seems to be somewhat artificial and somewhat boring.

Fruit trees:

Taylor's star taste is too strong but not like the positioning of the role in the play. The production is excellent, but I don’t have a particularly cold with such chattering films.

The song is wrong:

Very cruel text, under the fantasy of trying to maintain it is bloody reality, a night away from the soul, two couples, four lunatics, marriage is nothing more than that.

Ye Fan:

I can't get rid of the structure of the stage play at all. If you find it difficult to change the structure of such a text, it is better to use a long shot, which can improve the viewability.

Bat Bats:

Marriage life with dense text lines flowed into stage drama movies, and the emotions that erupted in endless chatter were too surging. Perhaps the life of old couples and wives was like this. Woody Allen’s later films should have learned from this experience.

supremacyacron:

I think middle-age crisis and marital crisis are all fooling around, turning myself into a lunatic, or even talking about having a night orgy, making me feel uncomfortable. It is better to say that Polanski's change is better, at least there is a contradiction, and this one really has no reason.

Bounce:

It feels more like a stage play, and it was really adapted after a check. . The long lines and the simultaneous scheduling really test the actors, just the right hysteria, the words beaded, layer by layer, revealing everyone's secrets in a whisper. . Also, is marriage really so terrible? .

zzy granite:

OMG, I really can't stand this nagging film. The chattering is endless, making people unable to invest, nonsense, and it is impossible to say which of your negligent lines promoted the plot. This film is irritating to watch. I hate the role of the actor! In my opinion, this film is far behind Nicole Kidman's "Rabbit Hole".

Sugar-free Tucao:

Long nights in marriage are difficult to understand, and they are paralyzed by alcohol and parties. One side is frowning, the other is self-pity, the man is chatting with the man, the woman is whispering with the woman. Pull out the thorn in life and crush the bouquet for the bride. The bell rang at dawn and the game was over. It was time to face it. Richard Burton's performance was excellent.

sparrow:

Nichols's debut work shows the boringness of married life, hatred, sarcasm, and endless quarrels to the fullest, which is exhausting both physically and mentally. Unlike the perplexed Wen Tun of the same theme "Graduate", the rhythm of this movie is more like a dance on the blade. The imaginary son is a pretense that maintains the emptiness and rigid relationship, and is the existence of anti-paradox. Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Everyone does. Once the meaningless nature of life is pierced, it is hideous everywhere.

Full of Pouring Zhao+: I like it very much! Like an exquisite stage work, as the alcoholic people get more and more crazy, the dramatic tension explodes, and the conflict points are set extremely well. I began to feel that the performance was exaggerated, and as the dialogue progressed, it was just right in such a stage environment. I have always felt that every marriage has its own mode of getting along. It seems that mutual hatred is perhaps the most suitable company for each other. Sadly, contradictions always exist, and they often run out to hurt people, but they belong to their marriage mode. (It might be a kind of bravery to think of the two in "Marriage Story" at this moment)

No one at midnight:

Most of the time in front of the noise and chattering propped up the building in the last half hour will be full of feathers. The unwillingness to face the truth was revealed, all imaginary imaginations were pierced, and the rotten and smelly corpse lying horizontally in the marriage of the couple was finally sent for burial. The performance that has been given the greatest space is the orthodox aesthetic of that era, which seems outdated today; photography and lighting are more sophisticated than most stage films, but they are still not completely free from the shackles of stage films. Compared with the film "Graduate" filmed by the director a year later, this film can only be regarded as a military training.

Pincent:

It was originally a stage script, but the photography was still online, and the close-up had its tension. When the "Storm" was still brewing in the early stages, several three-person compositions that symbolized instability appeared. Shi Song's rhythm (look at the waiter who suddenly came in to deliver water at the bar) is still well controlled. Accompanied by excessive alcohol, "Son" as McGeffen leads the drama to a climax. At this time, the characters are in a state of confrontation and revenge: "Relax! Sink into it. You're no better than anybody", "You're no better than anybody" "Paper tigers" ruthlessly shred the embarrassment and hypocrisy of the lives of American upper-class intellectuals. Moreover, marriages assembled by different classes are more special. Edward Albee's play (the 2017 edition of the National Theatre still keeps it alive in the present) dare to tell the cruel truth, and at the end it does not give anyone a solution. Marriage’s gun umbrella both attack and protect, and mutual torture reflects a kind of intimacy. Only in very few moments are the characters exposed to heart-warming inner words, so that the reality is not completely dark.

#FIFF12#DAY5's main competition score will be released for everyone later, please wait and see.
