If you've seen this film, forget it. At most, let's complain about the scum tenants and the scenes that scare the old man to death.
If you haven't seen this film, I suggest you don't watch it and turn left. But if you want to find it uncomfortable, then say something else. As the title of the article indicates, this film makes people can't let go of a cup of nostalgia and need to drink two cups.
Old rule, first look at the background of the story. The film was based on Roland Top's novel TENANT in 1976 and is self-directed and self-directed. The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 29th Cannes Film Festival.
This writer, Roman Top, is also a chilling master, and his work is known for its surreality, and if you are interested, you can search for it yourself, which is not expanded here.
Speaking of director Roland Polanski, I have to mention his background that shocked the world: as a Jew, he began to hide from the fate of being hunted down at the age of 4, and began to hide his name at the age of 10 and only wanted to live.
As an adult, he became famous as a director, and the family had a tragic and bloody murder, when his wife was still pregnant with an 8-month-old child and was stabbed 16 times. (This matter was also adapted by Quentin into the movie "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood")
The psychological shadow caused by the devastation of the unfortunate experience on him. Maybe Polanski could not get rid of it for the rest of his life. His heart is also extremely sensitive and fragile.
Once violated an underage girl while filming. To this end, he defended himself in an interview: "In the face of unbearable suffering, some people choose alcohol, and some people become monks. I, on the other hand, chose sex. ”
Seeing this, you probably know what kind of tone story this is. That's right, a thriller that's close to psychopathy.
After witnessing the death of Simon, the former tenant of his house, the male protagonist's self-psychological hints and external psychological hints rushed to him.
The apartment's cold and mean landlords and tenants eroded his living space little by little.
Simon's death was a mystery, and question marks haunted the hearts of everyone around them. Humans always want an answer, and that answer goes to the new owner of the house.
Humans are also afraid of change, and they want new tenants not to change their habits. Honestly smoke Marlboro in the restaurant and drink chocolates. The landlord's expectation of her is to change her slippers after 10 o'clock like a former tenant.
The strange gaze formed by the death of the former tenant was inherited by him, and he was also peeped and excluded. Inherited Marlboro, chocolate, nail polish, skirts, gradually schizophrenia.
It was as if the soul of the former tenant was gradually attached to him, and this tarkovsky, as tarkovsky, was gradually disappearing.
He slowly became aware of the cause of Simon's suicide, and after a period of daylight and night after Simon Shul, he wanted to save himself.
He ran to Stella, but he was already on the verge of collapse, and after Stella went to work and left him, he still fell into the abyss of fear. It's like, that staircase corridor at the beginning of the film.
It's like being in the abyss
Struggled for a long time, and finally pulled out a tooth to become her completely! How did Simon die? They killed. Now that he is Simon, they are going to kill him too.
On his way to Stella, and after leaving Delat's house, the painting appeared twice, as if death were beckoning to him.
It was as if death was beckoning
It is worth noting that the film has appeared Egyptian elements several times: the Egyptian-themed furnishings of the room, the Egyptian totem on the toilet wall, the Egyptian postcard sent by the man who has a crush on Simon, and the Egyptian antiquities book that Simon left at a friend's house.
Simon and he ended up mummified in the hospital. The first time he went to Stella's house, he lay in bed and said inappropriate words that were simply mummified methods.
The Egyptian elements that appear in the film
As a Jew, he grew up living as an unacceptable outlier. Like Tarkovsky in the film, he is excluded as an outsider.
To live as "me" and "them", this is how I am going to fight them. In the end, it could only be wrapped up like a mummy, and it could not move to let out a wail.
Some postscripts:
"Suffering is the nourishment of art"
I remember the last time I wrote about Zach Schneider, I talked about directors expressing their pain through film.
Today, it is another heavy director. After these things, it was very pale to say anything to comfort him. Anyway, at least he still has movies.
