The representative of the "poetic film", the Blu-ray cover of the 2019 Russian version of Soviet director Mikhail Karatozov's "Geese Flying South". In a few weeks, on March 24th, CC will also release the new Blu-ray of this movie, and I am looking forward to it! In stark contrast to the Russian version, the cover of cc is darker.
"Flying South" won the Palme d'Or at the 11th Cannes in 1958, and actress Taguiana Samoilova won the Special Recommendation Award at the Cannes Film Festival Special Mention. The male protagonist is Alexei Batalov in Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, Aleksey Batalov.
The image of Mikhail Karatozov at the beginning of "The Wild Goose Flying South".
The title of "Flying Wild Goose" is very good, and it is catchy to read, but it may be another mistranslation. The Russian name of the film is Летят журавли,журавли is the meaning of crane, the English title is The Cranes Are Flying, Crane or Crane, the characteristic differences given by Baidu are:
Crane, long and straight mouth
Geese, with wide and thick mouths
From the picture of "Yan Nan Fei", although the details cannot be seen clearly, the mouth is long and straight or faintly visible, it seems that the crane is more accurate, the English-speaking The Cranes Are Flying and the Russian-speaking Летят журавли, it seems that there should not be as big a drop as the Chinese-speaking Crane Nanfei.
Conscience in the word
Wonderful black and white graphics!
Excerpt from the introduction: [Mikhail Karatozov was an advocate of poetic films in the 1950s, paying attention to the use of the theory of "emotional photography", infecting the audience with strong emotional colors, pursuing the poetic realm in the overall style of the film, and the narrative structure of the prose style of "scattering the gods"]
One of my feelings about Mikhail Karatozov's style is that he was willing to show the facial expressions of the characters with large, distorted close-ups. And he liked Rodchenko's perspective, which was also translated as Rochenko and Rochenko.
Rodchenko perspective [The subject of the shooting, whether it is a person or a scene, is generally very common, but the angle of the scene completely breaks the traditional visual habits, and mostly uses a vertical overhead or oblique angle to emphasize the change of perspective]
I Am Cuba is another masterpiece by Mikhail Karatozov.
BD cover
There is also a Soviet film business card, 1959 "Soldier's Song" directed by Gregory Chuhlei, which was nominated for the Palme d'Or, and the picture style is also very poetic.
The covers from left to right are: CC DVD, 2014BD, 2019BD
These three Soviet films are not only poetic in style, but also similar in the picture effect of the titles.
At last year's North Film Festival, I watched the big screen "I Am Cuba", and the gorgeous black and white picture made me a black and white fan with a strong addiction! No wonder Coppola and the old horse yelled after reading it.
Can't get into the cinema and reminisce about my busy and happy day in April 2019! April 2020 is hard to come again! 007 has no time to die~
