    A battle without gunpowder

    Published at EU Film Festival 2019

    The story takes place in the first autumn of Leningrad after World War II. It tells the helplessness and pain of people who don't know how to adapt to the post-war life after regaining tranquility and peace. As a highly literary story, the director focuses his...

    The new reality of 'The Tall': Creating animated characters in expressive imagery

    Contemir uses long shots and deep space to shape the internal reality of the character's state, and uses the symbolic and design-rich modeling picture symbols to create a formalistic external form. The extraordinary concerto is finally integrated into the film's control of mood and atmosphere.

    tall

    "The Tall Man": In the context of the tragic era, the film shows that women still walk solemnly in a bun, neatly dressed, and decently dressed? No, the film uses the big man to try to answer the chaotic and absurd mysteries of this world. Instinct, desire, love, the three work together in the soul...

    In order not to be late, run 5km to see it, it's really worth it

    Hearing that the archives put this film, cut it and enlarged it, all kinds of groups are rushing to transfer tickets, and no one asks for the price. After being cut and enlarged, from the perspective of the picture, it does not affect the understanding at all. This film is fierce and true.

    Because...

    The world will be good

    It was a little pissed off to see it, because I knew that this kind of movie was beyond my tolerance. Yes, after about 15 minutes of watching the movie, Paschka didn't break free, and when I heard the whistling sound that Iya had when she got sick, I wanted to turn it off. However, I saw that the...

    Tango On A Thin Wire

    When I lit a cigarette outside Film Forum in a post-Beanpole daze, I felt like I just lost half of my life source. I have never experienced a film that translates immediate bodily sensations in such a visceral and disquieting way. Muffled ringing sounds, nose-bleeding attacks, frantic dancing...

    The constant tearing of postwar PTSD

    The 2020 Shenzhen EU Film Festival, the last film to watch at this film festival, has indeed left the heaviest imprint on my heart.

    The extensive use of red, green, and brown somehow reminds me of Yasujiro Ozu, who was so obsessed with color when he started making color films, that he used the same...

    warrior with white flag

    This movie is the kind of chronic movie that you will have a very dull feeling after watching it for the first time, faintly mixed with a little thin and melancholy.

    In countless movies, about war, about illness, we can always see through the screen how different people are dealing...
