Some time ago, the Oscar awards have been settled, and many of the nominated films, although they have not won awards, are definitely worth watching.
For example, this one recommended by Ma Po today -
Unowned
Work without author
The film scored 8.3 and was nominated for the 91st Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography, and was also nominated for the Golden Lion Award in the main competition unit at the 75th Venice International Film Festival.
Caleb Danscher's photography and Silk Bucher's magnificent artistic design both leave an unforgettable impression,
Max Richett's score is radiant and passionate.
Director Florian Heinkel von Donasma is also very talented, and his first feature film, "Eavesdropping Storm", won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
In all respects, this is a good film not to be missed.
Tom Shirin, Ma Po Amway has been countless times, has a high appearance and good acting skills.
His starring roles in Hitler's Boy and Our Fathers are both well worth seeing.
And he has a melancholy temperament, playing an artist who pursues freedom in "Masterless", which is perfect.
Another lead actor, Sebastian Coltsch, was internationally acclaimed for his Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film "Eavesdropping Storm".
In that film, he impressed a wiretap.
In this film, he transforms into a highly skilled doctor.
Little Kurt dreamed of becoming a painter, and his aunt Elizabeth loved art.
However, Elizabeth was diagnosed with mental illness, and she was imprisoned in a concentration camp and then sent to the gas chamber by a Nazi doctor, Professor Carl Seband (Sebastian Coltsch).
Kurt (Tom Shirin) is admitted to the local art academy as an adult, and at school, he meets and falls in love with his aunt-looking classmate Ellie (Paula Bell), and the two are romantic.
But in fact, Ellie's father was the Nazi doctor who persecuted his aunt.
Not only that, when it was discovered that Ellie was pregnant, the professor lied to them that there was a problem with Ellie's uterus, and then personally operated on Ellie, causing Ellie to finally find it difficult to continue to get pregnant.
When the Hitler era passed, the Nazis who had fought for the tigers would be arrested one by one.
The professor had the privilege of helping the wife of a Soviet officer give birth and was then protected for a while, and now that the officer was leaving, he saw the news that his former partner had been arrested and went abroad with his wife.
Kurt was also fed up with collectivism in East Germany, where everything was done for the sake of the collective, not the individual.
So in order to pursue himself, he took Ellie to West Germany.
At the new school, he was free to pursue art and create freely, and no one would point fingers.
When you have a new idea, a new idea, everyone's eyes are on it and appreciate it.
The history of Germany's three periods is condensed in just three hours, from Nazi Germany in World War II to East and West Germany after the war, from 1937 to 1966, making the 180-minute film look not at all lengthy.
And the film is based on the life experiences of German visual artist Gerhard Richter.
Young artists created a series of extreme works of art decades later because their work was used by the Nazis for political propaganda during World War II.
The works presented in the film are actually not extreme.
Ma Po only admires the director's final approach, and the audience knows the fate of the protagonists' entanglement, but it does not emphasize this, but deliberately avoids it, just because art is free.
It should not be limited to the love and hatred between people, it is independent.
Everything is also because Kurt pursues "me", and there will be the one who freely creates "masterless works".
There is art only when there is freedom, and art without freedom can only be a collective mural.
