Masterpiece by Masahei Imamura, Palme d'Or, Cannes, 1983. 1. Sex and death, the struggle for survival and the true nature of human nature are all manifested in the vulgar rituals. 2. The occasional shots of animal coitus and predation, alluding to the primitive and cruel animal nature of mankind, the execution of the thief family + owl-eater. 3. Infant killing, buried alive, father killing, abandoning the old, bestiality, widow rotation, maggot-like habitat. 4. Sensuous bones, crying jackdaws, drifting fine snow, sitting on the green cliffs. 5. Overlooking the village from the beginning to the end. (9.5/10)

Movies you don’t want to rewatch. After the white snow covering the panorama melted in the opening scene, the vision began to become messy and filthy, which also opened the prelude to the display of this unmanned spectacle. The most shocking thing is not that they did these things, but that they did it so sparsely that they didn't show any struggle. I like the interspersed of animal scenes, which means that the absence of human nature is no different from snakes, rats, and animals. At the end, she carried her mother to death on the snow in Ningshan Mountain, and finally saw a trace of pure humanity, but when the snow re-covered the earth, you knew that there was dirt and grime in it.
