when hell loses its color

#Venezia76 was initially moved by the indescribable cruelty created by the film that "human hearts are as simple as animals, and society is as cruel as nature". And the scheduling of animal actors (and group performances) is the director's weapon. They are all sadistic images and themes, without the arrogant dialectics of the player and referee like Lars von Trier, where the evil of nature does not need a Thaad-style justification, and it is unquestionably cruel. However, such a repetitive method is difficult to change progressively in chapters, and the predictable path (or provocation to the audience) becomes more and more exhausted as it goes back. It is the "Diary of a Passive Growing Bad Boy". Whether he accelerates the deterioration of the situation or interferes with it, he is already passively a part of this irreversible world that has no hope and no real despair. Being smeared makes him a target of evil, and as an animal/human he shares the arrow of evil.

The off topic scene in the film: a painted black bird was deliberately released, it fluttered its wings and rushed towards its kind, but was spurned and pecked until it died. The contrasting texture of black and white that slowly descends in the end is a condensed summary of the gloomy tone of the whole film. Due to an accident, the protagonist is forced to wander the plains of Eastern Europe. He repeatedly experiences the good and evil of human nature as a vampire, gypsy, Jewish blood, orphan, etc., and learns to resist and cold-blooded. In the nearly three-hour third-person sketch in troubled times without any emotional color, the taciturn dialogue, the common cruelty, and the suffering that no one is spared are the author, screenwriter and director's painful reflection on the 20th century blood and tears. 2019 EU Film Festival@Shenzhen Broadway Cinema Center Dolby Atmos Hall
