The Taste of Green Papaya
Director / Chen Hero
Viet Nam
⌚️104min
☑️ Douban score 7.8
This movie has been remembered for many years at a time, just like some people we have remembered for many years.
The people in the movie seem to be protecting something that was otherwise heavy in a shallow way. It's actually so hard.

Japan
⌚️55min x 10
☑️ Douban score 7.4
Loved cakes, loved strawberries, loved strawberry cakes, and the cream in strawberry cakes. Do you eat first or after you eat? You have to make the cake yours first.
The narration at Ending is that it doesn't matter if the strawberries on the cake are left at the end, because it's your strawberries, so they won't be eaten by others.

Tears of grapes

⌚️117min
☑️ Douban score 6.0
Because of this movie, I knew ammonite.
Ammonites are extinct marine invertebrates with chrysanthemum-like striae on their surfaces. Later, only ammonite fossils remained, most of which were deposited in shallow sea formations.
The girl in the movie rents a vineyard and digs every day. She was looking for Ammonite. I envy her, obsessed with things that are not so easy, independent and involved with people, and live like this.

☑️ Douban score 7.6
I have a particularly nice friend, whom I call Tree. For some time, he always slept until dusk and then fell asleep again the next morning. And during that time, I always woke up in the dark of the day and went to sleep very early at night.
So at that time, we always had breakfast together. It made me think that the original difference would have the opportunity to overlap.

The Taste of Apple Core
Director / Viviana Fie
Germany
⌚️120min
☑️ Douban score 7.5
Some movies you ask me if I'm good, I'll answer generally, ok, you can watch. But some movies are not in the category of good or bad, they like, like movies that can be remembered.
It's just unreasonable, you can't do anything with me.
I can't do anything with you either.
Listening to Lin Youjia's version of waste these days, the lyrics of "I haven't changed for a long time." Maybe you remember six years, maybe whoever hangs for five years, maybe I remember for three years. I look at your hanging and understand my own hanging.
He who knows only one thing, and those who are unreasonable, all admit it.

Durian Fluttering
Starring / Qin Hailu
China
⌚️116min
You think it's a documentary about prostitutes, but it's suddenly interspersed with a MV-style montage; when you think it's realistic and cruel, it talks to you about poetry and distance and the true meaning of life.
"Durian Fluttering" uses a story full of fireworks to tell the other side and the hometown, the future and the past, and the durian has become an important prop for traveling through different time and space.

Watermelon in Beijing
Director / Nobuhiko Obayashi
⌚️135min
☑️ Douban score 7.2
Based on a true story, "Watermelon in Beijing" vividly shows the life of the suburbs of a small Japanese town and the joys and sorrows of the little people with a warm and humorous tone.
This is a movie in the honeymoon period between China and Japan, and in the limitations of "propositional composition", it is inevitable that it will be a little unsatisfactory. But the flaws do not hide Yu,
The long life shot under the direction of Nobuhiko Obayashi is very worth pondering, and the flip at the end of the story has become the finishing touch of the whole film, which is quite surreal.

Cherry Tomato
Director / Zheng Yongpei
Korea
⌚️102min
☑️ Douban score 7.7
It's a movie about family affection, but it's also a movie about reality. For family affection, the interaction and warmth between Reaching and Grandpa are the best interpretation of this theme.
Another, heavier theme is reality. In this cruel world, the gap between the rich and the poor is powerless. The film further expands the polarization of this gap between rich and poor, making people feel powerless.
However, life is long and short, in the face of the despair of reality, we should still learn to be strong with love.

Banana
Director / Woody Allen
United States
⌚️82min
"Banana" is an excellent black humor movie, which had a "live pop" section as early as 46 years ago, and it is still full of laughter today.
But what makes it even more unmissable is its brilliant performance in "political satire", showing a humorous and hilarious side in seemingly serious and bloody politics.
It both parodies Che Guevara and Bergman and Eisenstein, with a good hand of irony.

"A Piece of Cane"
Starring / Yu Wenle Cai Zhuoyan
Hong Kong
☑️ Douban score 6.6
"Yilu Cane", also known as "Love is Sweeter than Sugar Cane", is a Hong Kong romantic comedy film, the most lovely thing about it is that the protagonist's growth is inseparable from the movie, and it also pays tribute to Bruce Lee, Lin Qingxia, Zhen Zhen, Cao Dahua and other old filmmakers.
The story of the 70s, the people of the 70s, is always particularly nostalgic. Younan, who sells fish eggs, Lezai who sells cane, SASA who plays drums, Tai A Gill, and their golden years, make people linger.

The Color of Pomegranates
Director / Sergei Parajanov
USSR
⌚️79min
☑️ Douban score 8.7
The Color of the Pomegranate is a distinctively distinctive film based on the life of the 18th-century Armenian poet Savat Nova.
Its uniqueness is that there is almost no dialogue in the whole film, and the narration and the self-talk of the people in the play promote the development of the plot, the honey of the lover, the arsenic of the abandoner.
This film is difficult to summarize in words, just like "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people", everyone will have their own understanding of it, there are almost no extra shots from beginning to end, the whole article is wonderful, and no one can look away.

"Lemon Cola" is a trendy youth film, although the plot does not have waves, but delicately portrays the mental journey of Tingting, Fat Ban, Big Funeral and Lulu during the growth of the "Gang of Four".
