A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence Reviews

As the last part of the "Life Trilogy" reflecting human nature, the first three deaths correspond to indifference, miserliness and fear. Through fragmented narratives and long shots, the absurd and restrained life of loneliness is expressed. Scenes such as group kisses in the small bar and...

The third part of Roy Anderson's life trilogy has reached the stage of transformation in terms of visual presentation. The same postmodern style that rejects grand narratives, absurd, alienating, repressive, realism, cold humor, comical, metaphorical, symbolic, fixed shots, stage sets, minimal...

The teacher showed it in the theater in class, the process can be said to be very tedious and boring, of course, the screening process. Watching this movie you can see Nordic humor, but it's not funny at all haha, it's even cold. At the beginning, there were three deaths, and two salesmen stopped...

What is a master? Talk and laugh in the wind, fly ashes and annihilate. What is a master? The invisible retreat is intriguing. The main poster of this movie is simply unconcerned, two men and women lying in the sand, plus a dog. Who knows what this story is about? For the director, however, it...

I counted 39 fixed shots one by one, turning into a pigeon sitting in a theater seat thinking about the meaning of my life without money. The people who have jobs the next day think ridiculously, but they have jobs. The king who once ruled the Baltic Sea for hundreds of years is no more than a...

"Hard Branches and Birds Quiet"

During the North Film Festival, I traveled all the way to the middle theater to watch Roy Anderson's "Hard Branches and Quiet". Anderson is Bergman's disciple and has made five feature films in total. This is the first Anderson I watched. Someone said his film was boring before, but after watching...

Roy Anderson, a 71-year-old Swede, has only made five feature films in total. Starting from "Singing from the Second Floor" in 2000, he has separated two and seven years to complete the "survival trilogy" with all his strength. The final chapter "Holding Branches and Birds Quiet" won the Golden...

Roy Anderson's work, which won the 2014 Golden Lion Award, has been discussed too many times. We talked about his fixed mid-range shots too many times, too many times of alienated and indifferent style, too many times of absurd and old-fashioned performances. However, let us get rid of these...

The first shot shocked me, the soft tone, the well-designed composition, there was nothing superfluous, it was too clean. I can only report it with "Fuck!". The second shot is still the same, and when I waited for the third shot, I couldn't help but pause the screenshot. But then I didn’t think it...
