It's a pity to hear that Kirill, the director of the film, was placed under house arrest.

Different from the bright and flamboyant colors of "Velvet Gold Mine", which is intended to reproduce the glorious Glam Rock in the 1970s and the reckless and rebellious spirit of a group of punks, the black and white shots of "Midsummer" are almost shot to the end, only when the characters enter the crazy blissful fantasy In the world, the director is willing to cut into only a few short-lived color shots in the whole film. The young rock punks in the film are immersed in the music of the rock wave of the Western world. The boys and girls dance on the beach in the summer of Russia, play chords one after another under the pale sunlight, shout and sing wantonly. Talking about music in a shabby apartment, fighting over a lyric, love and friendship grow quietly. All of this was presented to the audience from an overly "cool" black-and-white perspective, as if it wanted to subtly show the ubiquitous high-pressure political atmosphere in the early 1980s. The film's description of the political environment at that time was only a few strokes: a concert sitting at risk, The inspector, who was staring at the audience's every move, put his restless hands on his knees, a suppressed restlessness. A private concert in the apartment, alcohol, drugs, sex, mixed with rock orgy, is a luxurious feast. The colorful midsummer is projected on the screen, as if everyone's life has returned to the midsummer that will never be there again, and no one is willing to leave. The climax of the film ends in a lethargic sleep after the revel. The old woman cleaning the apartment silently turned on the TV to play the news. In this small space full of music, hormones and rebellion, young punks are looking forward to rocking the world with rock, and spring is still the same. Here comes, the winter still leaves, the world runs in an orderly manner according to the predestined rules, and the restlessness on the guitar strings cannot break the cold silence of Siberia. The old woman said softly: Thank the government for revealing the bleak future of punk rock in the Soviet Union, and their rebellion will be short-lived.
After Victor's premiere, the gatekeeper silently locked the iron gate of the club, and the building was empty. Behind the rusty lock was an indifferent silence, which seemed to indicate that the punk poet would eventually return to silence after his departure. stage. In Ou Rong's Franz, the black-and-white shots are designed to show the gradual relationship between the hero and heroine, who are cautious, test each other, and secretly develop feelings for each other. Tension, threesome, love and jealousy, sympathy, like that cup of espresso that travels across the city, bitter but delicious.
That gorgeous midsummer gradually faded away, Victor and Natasha who met again, Natasha's "goodbye" still didn't answer, just as silent as Mike's departure
