The number of new films watched in the first half of the year is quite OK, to sum up. (The beans are listed here: http://www.douban.com/doulist/37132198/, I have only talked about resources here.) ）
The most eye-catching setting: Paper Moon "Paper Moon". The setting of the Paper Moon is eye-catching, blurring the boundaries between reality and dreams. Just live in the dream according to your own will, moral restraints and legal laws and regulations to go to hell, smash the glass and jump down from the upper floor to meet the satisfaction. Ewha asks her colleagues who live a harsh and boring life if they want to come together, and it feels like they are also asking the audience outside the movie.
Best Asana Teaching: A blushing asana test in "Love Wars." Depicting the relationship between the sexes, which is also enemy and friend, in addition to the sexual asana challenge of the position, the other works are basically Godard's works that discuss the scope. The camera's capture of the actor's performance, the actor's gymnast-like soft posture are the magic of this film. Never underestimate the attitude of French literature and art, and while we are still learning to tell stories, the depth and breadth of their films has reached an unusual level.
Best paragraph: "Little Forest" Summer and Autumn Mother and Daughter Stir-fry Video Switch. This scene is very magical, not only to express the mother and daughter's spirit, but also to illustrate the inheritance of skills or culture. If you can also describe the movie, then "Little Forest" is one of them, following it to breathe the wind of nature and taste the gifts of nature. This kind of japanese film seems to have no dramatic conflict, no desire, no demand, no resistance, but it returns to the authenticity of life and attracts people to indulge. Coupled with clean and spirited actors, it is even more icing on the cake, and Hashimoto loves fans to come quickly. In addition, remind foodies not to ignore this film, strong push.
Best Performance: Tadanobu Asano, "The Private Man." Seeing Uncle Asano's injured eyes, his heart was broken. Once the story of "Private Man" is not well mastered, it will become a vicious drama, but what is valuable is that Xiong Che and Jia use their image style and full of emotions to turn the film into an evil atmosphere. It feels like he's also a director who is good at mobilizing actors, and the performances of Tadanobu Asano and Fumimi Nijido in the film are wonderful. This kind of challenging works of Japanese films have a sense of corrupt beauty, and in recent years, there have been many such works in the top ten of the shunbao newspaper, and I personally like it.
The most goddess: Sakura Ando,"Love of a Hundred Yuan". Last year's "Shunbun" top ten movies, let everyone know a Japanese actor - Sakura Ando. If "0.5 mm" is not yet dewy, "The Love of One Hundred Dollars" is completely released. The story of the waste wood woman, but it is unusually warm, cute, healing, inspirational, and even bloody. Life is always so imperfect, but who can say that in the end Kazuko Saito did not win? Sakura Ando's boxing scene was directly behind the shadow upper body.
Highest Energy: Starfall watermelon. A movie that looks curious. The director's taste is strange, one second may be serious, the next second immediately snake spirit disease, it is undeniable that the aesthetic taste is good. The film is exquisitely made, can be used as a performance art and costume display, it will not be tired, hahaha, high value is the guarantee ah. Note: There are too many high energy, be mentally prepared before watching.
The most ferocious: The last angry killing of "Deaf And Dumb Tribes". The silent dialogue shown in sign language is a fresh experience of watching the film, and even if the sign language is replaced by spoken language, the performance of the film is still remarkable. Single-scene long shots, plain and strong narrative does not give any opportunity to ease, that is, does not pretentious attitude to the end to give the audience a visual and psychological impact.
Most WTF: Quentin Doffy 'Real' Stick Stream of Consciousness. Movies, dreams, and reality are nested in a staggered manner, and I tried to find some clues about logic before, but then I gave up directly, because there was no logic at all, like a stream-of-consciousness experiment that wandered in the mind. The plot can still be gripping, the imagination is bursting, and it is a movie that can recall the toshi-style movie.
Best Atmosphere Creation: "It's Behind" Music, Mirror Shake. This genre of work that leans toward horror in production is actually not like a horror film, first, it is really not scary, and second, it distinguishes the way of thinking about horror films. The director's idea is quite novel, figuring adolescent sexual confusion into a haunting stalker, and making the uneasiness after sexual activity real and abnormal. In addition, the electric sound and 360-degree panning mirror in the film are fantastic, and there are wooden ones, plus points.
Most Overlooked: Philip Groin's "The Police Officer's Wife." In order to recommend this movie, I deliberately made subtitles, and then uploaded the tablet to the B station, but there are still few people watching it. The fragmentary presentation of the wife's bruises and the husband's violent tendencies sees a cryptic story of family breakdown, and the old man living alone is the husband's future. The director uses a large set of montages (59 fragments of life) to let the audience understand this hidden story, which is quite experimental. The camera footage and shot scheduling are fabulous.
Deepest Well: The Seven Days of Hell tennis ball is broken. HBO-produced TV movie starring Kit Harrington and Andy Samberg. The pseudo-record method presents two strange Wimbledon tennis seven-day "duel", the whole process of yellow explosion and high energy, bad taste to the extreme, laughing at the dead does not pay for life, and later let people not let people watch tennis well...
Best Fashion Blockbuster: "The Maya Family" Cinematography, Costumes, Positions and The Faces of the Actors. A family epic with a strong sense of drama, the exterior of the film is directly a stage play scene, the same way as "A Song of Indulgence". Although the plot catches horses and even dog blood at the back, poetry and heaviness can still suppress these, and the movie seems to be a fashion blockbuster, plus beautiful men and women who want to screenshot the conflict every minute. A movie that is very good to watch.
Best Tearing: The Long Divorce Lawsuit for "Litigation." The perception will be reminiscent of "A Parting", which is a heart-wrenching and unsolvable problem. A lengthy divorce lawsuit not only provides a glimpse into Israel's legal system, but also seems to expose the country's political and religious system, human rights and other aspects of the problem. The most shocking thing about the film is the patriarchalism of this country, and the divorce requires the man to give the divorce to the woman. In general, the director's focus is still on the criticism of the patriarchal society, and the incitement is full of power.
Best Talented Woman: Melanie Rowland, "Breathe." The talent of French actresses can not be hidden, and Melanie Roland is still very stylish in filmmaking, and this work will also be released in North America in the near future. France has to contribute a few talented young actresses every year, and the two actresses here are good, one moving and one still, the sea flame, the geranium silk, and successfully perform a thrilling love and killing.
The most concise: George Owash willy's "Isle of Crops" & Alexander Cotter's "Test". Both films have fewer characters, and the scenes are basically concentrated in one or two roles, and the dialogue is concise. "The Island of Crops" is a bay of water, a small island, two grandchildren a year of farming, the occasional patrol army and the sound of gunfire to break the quiet beauty, the tranquility and turmoil of the "Boundary River" contrast with each other, and then the theme comes out. In "Test", the Russians can always put poetry and beauty into the movie. It's not so much a drama as it is a masterpiece of landscape photography, and it's thrillingly beautiful! Impressions soared. What is valuable is that the angle and way of photography are very painstaking, and the surplus changes will not cause aesthetic fatigue. The destruction at the end is also so beautiful, reminiscent of Antonioni's "Zabriskiy's Cape". The plot of the film is so simple that it can be understood without dialogue.
Best Performance Art: Roy Anderson, "Cold Branches." In the movie, the actors also became props, and the white-brushed expressionless face only stood there as a symbol of the person, and Anderson did not need the actor's performance to finish his film. Alexei Germain Jr.'s "Under the Electronic Clouds" is also a performance art of the same position...
Best Group Scene: Seven Grandmothers in "Go to See the Falls" Where are the seven grandmothers, almost seven kindergarten friends, sitting in rows, walking in rows, sleeping in rows, playing games, arguing, crying and laughing for a while, playing and making trouble, and then taking the car home after school. Okita Shuichi this time the elderly two days and one night forest tour, laughter point surprisingly much, hahaha, negative ions really have it.
Best Chinese Film: Qian Xiang's "Back to the Light Sonata". "Blue Gate" is the first feature film directed by cinematographer Qian Xiang. From the beginning, the film creates a sense of oppression step by step, following Chen Xiangqi to experience a manopause without an exit. Android mobile phone answering phone touch screen sliding buttons, broken door locks, wallpapers that are pasted and dropped, etc., the film's life atmosphere is very substitutionary. The use of photography of close-up doors, windows and distant figures has a feeling of spying on the bitter heart of this middle-aged woman. Chen Xiangqi's performance is great, and Qian Xiang's work is very complete.
Best Korean Film: Lim Kwon-taek, "Flower Burial". In view of the fact that many people have watched Hong Shangxiu's "Hill of Freedom", I recommend this new film by old director Lin Quanze. This should be a good movie to be overlooked this year, and I don't understand why. This work is a bit of a Korean version of "Love", and it would be better to remove the erotic part. The old director's way of doing things is really extraordinary, the control of the late tension, the introverted and deep emotions, are the key factors in my increase in the concentration of watching movies, and this work is obviously very successful in this regard. In addition, Ahn Sung-ki's performance is really good, worthy of being a Korean temple-level actor.
Best Day Shadow: Koji Kanda, "Shoko by the River". Since Sakura Ando is so hot, I'll push the second-order cousin. Peaceful and relaxing, clean and sunny, Japanese idyllic style. There is authentic simplicity, but also a deep sense of life. The encounters between people are silent and faintly connected. The film blanks are like the "secrets" said by Fumi of the Second Order Hall, and the beautiful seaside town is presented, which is a particularly flavorful place. Movie fans can make up for it, and one of the top ten this year has fallen.
There are also these movies to watch: "Sleeping Nicole", "Ugly", "Swampland", "Lost Wolf", "Young Age", "Harmony Course", "Timbuktu", "Salt of the Earth", "The Book of the Worm", "Daughter of India", "The Legend of Saint Laurent", "The Wild Story"
In addition, we recommend several new films that have been seen in Hong Kong and Shanghai in advance, and you can focus on:
"Forty-five Years": Hagrid's work is comfortable with the framing, the tone, the costumes of the actors, the nagging but lifelike dialogue, and the high level of musical taste, all of which are my dishes. In addition, although Hagrid's works are small, they always inadvertently stir people's emotions. In addition, his performance of human feelings is different from other directors, which is a must. Keep looking forward to new works.
"Cheers": Almost plainly recounting the process of father and son's slavery, in the end there was no turnaround ending, this kind of reversed film does not meet the audience's wishes, but you can still feel the director's critical intentions. After reading it, I knew that it was this work, and the Hong Kong translation was a straightforward "Oshiage of slaves", which was a relatively unexpected gain.
Victoria: An encounter that evolves into a desperate escape is a film about the origin and demise of a carnival. The difficulty of a shot to the end, but thanks to the photographer's work, the brain makes up for the way he carries the machine but holds his breath. The actors are brilliant, and the final hotel scene erupts excessively, but is admirable. Watching them run wild all the way also felt tired.
"Drunken Dream Death": I didn't expect Zhang Zuoji's film to be so fierce, it is not at all like Taiwan's small freshness, but it is indeed a Taiwanese film. Decadent and original ecological blood are all on the edge, but I can't find a suitable word to describe it. I found a young actor with potential who looked a bit like a well-off. The movie has a scene that causes discomfort, so please be mentally prepared before watching the movie.
"Body": Magozata's style is good. However, the effect of a surprise will have the illusion of watching a ghost movie, many plot settings have a sense of absurdity, and the presentation of the body and food in the movie is uncomfortable. In fact, it is a story of a father and daughter out of the haze of death, the protagonist is a forensic doctor, anorexia, a doctor, the atmosphere is gloomy, but in the end it is saved and cured by a failed psychic. In addition, like "The Name", the song selection of this film is very good, and I have to find it when I go back.
"Ami garden universe": Atsuhiro Yamashita is a person who knows what happiness is, his works are obviously about Luthor's story, and they are still warm and cute, and I smirk from time to time in front of the screen, and it seems that the people around me are too. The film still has a lazy taste that only Japanese people can shoot, and it is very casual to heal without telling big reason. The male protagonist is actually a pet adopted by the former second-order cousin, and spitting watermelon seeds is more literary than spitting and spitting, hahaha.
