Today I recommend a few very unpopular high-scoring movies.
1
The Horse of Turin
Douban score: 8.3
At the beginning of the film, director Bella Tarr tells the story of the German philosopher Nietzsche.
In 1889, when Nietzsche saw a coachman beating an old horse with a whip outside a hotel in Turin that refused to move, Nietzsche stepped forward to stop the groom and held the horse's neck and wept bitterly. Nietzsche lay motionless on the couch for two days, and then Nietzsche was insane, and after ten years of madness, he died of despair.
The film "The Horse of Turin" tells the story of the old horse and the coachman and the coachman's daughter for six days.
The daily routine of the father and daughter is to get up, dress, fetch water, make a fire, eat potatoes, look out the window in a daze, set up the carriage, unload the carriage, sleep, day after day.
From day one to day six, wells dried up, oil lamps went out, firewood burned out, and spirits collapsed.
The old horse can die without eating or drinking, while the coachman and the coachman's daughter can only eat raw potatoes while waiting for redemption or death.
God created the world in seven days and Bella Tarr destroyed everything in six days.

Legal Copy
Douban score: 7.9
A French lady who runs an antique shop meets a British writer who came to Italy to launch a new book. Women take advantage of the good weather to drive Miller around, they see each other and hate late, talk while walking, talk about copied works of art, talk about life, talk about marriage.
In a coffee shop, Miller is mistaken for the woman's husband by the coffee shop owner, so they mistake it and play the role of a husband and wife who have been together for 15 years.
Women count the various dissatisfactions with the "husband" Miller, and Miller explains the dissatisfaction with the "wife" from the perspective of most men, and tells his true understanding of marriage.
If the development continues, the two are likely to become real lovers, but in the end, Miller still left coldly, and the song eventually dispersed.

Tropical Diseases
The film tells the story of a young Thai soldier Ken and a country boy Dong in a same-sex love affair.
Ken, who is serving, is a healthy and cheerful young soldier who meets Dong, an equally cheerful boy in the countryside, and the two quickly develop a hazy relationship.
They drank cold drinks together, watched performances together, rode motorcycles together, and stuck together every day.
When the beast attacked the village, in order to protect the villagers, the soldier Ken had to go into the forest. Dong returns to the forest after death, reincarnates as a tiger, and ends with Kenhua Tiger. In my opinion, this is the Thai version of "Liang Zhu".

Hidden Camera
Douban score: 7.7
The quiet life of george's family of three, a well-known television host, was shattered by some anonymous videotapes and threatening postcards received.
George suspects that the tape was started by Maggie, who nearly became his mother's adopted son.
Maggie's parents were long-time workers in George's family, and they were "despicable" North Africans. After Maggie's parents disappeared, George's parents decided to adopt poor Maggie, george feared that Maggie would take everything he had, so he framed him, and finally he got what he wanted, and his parents sent Maggie to an orphanage.
To prove his innocence, Maggie summoned George to his home and committed suicide by slitting his throat in front of him.
George was an elite highly educated man, while Magee was an "inferior citizen" in the orphanage. Unable to prove his innocence, he could only commit suicide by cutting his throat.
5
"Serious Man"
The male protagonist in the film, Larry Gopnik, is a serious person who originally had a peaceful life, a smooth career, and a happy family.
He is a university physics professor in the United States. The school was about to decide whether to award him tenured professorship, when a South Korean student tried to bribe him to earn credits, the student's parents threatened him with prosecution, and someone regularly wrote anonymous letters to covertly slander him.
And Larry's wife suddenly filed for divorce because she was in love with one of his best friends and wanted to marry him.
His unemployed, neurotic brother is also increasingly a burden on him, with his children arguing, his daughter stealing money to get a facelift for his nose, his son listening to the radio in class, smoking marijuana, and ordering records in his own name.
We are often told that we should take work, study, family and everything important in life seriously, not to play with life, not to live a negative life, but we are not told why we must do it.
6
"Little Kids"
Douban score: 7.4
The film topped the Film Handbook's 2014 top 10 films.
The quiet and quaint village contrasts greatly with the serial perverted bloody case, and Dumont uses the language of cinema to construct an absurd world, as ridiculous and sad as a cow hanging in the air.
A helicopter suddenly flew from a village in northern France, and four children happily chased the helicopter, only to find the helicopter hoisting a cow from the bunker with the body of a lady in its belly.
Soon a second cow was found on the seashore, and inside was the body of a black man. The black man was actually the lover of the first lady.
At this time, the woman's husband naturally became the biggest suspect, but he fell into the cesspool and drowned.
The black boy who was stimulated to commit suicide, the girl who was eaten by the pig, the dead cheerleader coach, in short, the suspected main suspects are dead.
The strange murders that followed, the murders of several bizarre victims, two police officers who looked dazed, the villagers who did nothing about the murder, the children with strong xenophobic complexes, the murder unfolded in the beautiful village. Although the title of the film is "Little Child", it is not about innocence, but about the reality full of irony.
How many of the above six movies have you seen?
