Although I like to scold a domestic bad film and open a group to mock something. However, that is more from personal bad taste. I'm not interested in finding a fan, and I don't want more people to fall in love with bad movies like me.
In fact, for movie fans, the real satisfaction is still on the big screen, watching a beloved masterpiece, or a recognized classic, that is the real enjoyment.
With the actual situation in China, you can intensively see a large number of excellent films, probably only the Beijing International Film Festival in April and the Shanghai International Film Festival in June. Unfortunately, China is too big, and there are too many fans in other regions to see those good movies. However, a few days later, the Silk Road International Film Festival in Xi'an may be an option for western film fans.
For this film festival, I have also recommended it on Weibo before, I have carefully watched the film list, and I have really found a lot of good movies worth paying attention to. If you really like movies and like to watch movies, there must be ten eight masterpieces, and you shouldn't miss them. If you don't believe me, let's take a look.
Classic repair unit
For me, this Silk Road International Film Festival, the most noteworthy thing is this unit, several classic screenings, all worth re-watching again and again.
It's like the picture above me, the one on the cover, you know what it is?
Well, David Lynch's Blue Velvet
As the director who was once the most nagging, it is quite enjoyable to see a David Lynch at the peak of the domestic cinema.
Blue velvet is just my personal personal recommendation, in addition, there are some more mainstream classic movies, if you miss Beijing and Shanghai, you can just make up for it in Xi'an. Like what
2001: A Space Odyssey
Kubrick's science fiction classics, various lists of science fiction films in the top three or even the first place of science fiction masterpieces
The Last Emperor (3D)
Bertolucci's classic, Oscar for Best Picture, after a new restoration of 3D, was screened in Xi'an. Although Beijing and Shanghai have let it go, this film does not mind watching it again, especially the soundtrack, and everyone will be crisp when it sounds.
Lawrence of Arabia
Also recognized as a classic, Oscar Best Picture, Epic Blockbuster, I have seen the 4K version in Shanghai before, and my memory is unforgettable.
The Maltese Eagle
Recognized as a film noir classic, when it comes to film noir, how can you not watch this one.
《Flower Village》
A Western by group drama master Robert Altman seems to be slightly less well-known than his classic masterpieces, but for ashes fans, this is a good opportunity to complete his work, and it is said that this is also a restored version. I'm really interested.
In addition, Billy Wilder's comedy masterpiece "Passion like Fire" will also be invited to be screened
Bring the sexiest Marilyn Monroe
Finally, there is another one to be solemnly recommended, that is:
Taxi Driver
One of my favorite movies, the one that has influenced me the most, hmmm, the movie that I don't get tired of watching many times. "Taxi Driver" will also appear in Xi'an.
Think that's the end of it?
How can there be, and there are many more?
This year's Xi'an Silk Road Film Festival will also hold a number of special film festivals of masters or classics.
For example, [Abbas Film Festival]
The recognized master of Iranian cinema died in July, and in his honor, the Subsequent Golden Horse and Busan Film Festivals will host the Abbas Film Festival. However, the most preemptive is the Silk Road in Xi'an, which will be released in a few days, a total of seven parts.
Including "Where is my friend's home", "Lover under the olive tree", "The Taste of Cherries", "Passing with the Wind", "Ten Rhythms of Life", "Copying as is", "Like Mu Love River"
If you also like Abbas, just brush it up in one go.
In addition to Abbas, there is also Yasujiro Ozu.
This time, Xi'an will also usher in Ozu Yasujiro's film festival, which is a series of works that do not need to be introduced, and must be seen by looking at the name, and this time, the selection is basically his masterpieces, such as:
"Tokyo Story", "The Taste of Saury", "Good Morning", "Late Spring", "Mai Qiu", and "The Other Shore Flower" are also Ozu masterpieces that are very worth watching.
The master exhibition is not finished, and there is Kieslowski, who will bring his trilogy of "Blue", "White" and "Red" this time
After watching the next row of films, it happens to be a day that you can watch it in one sitting.
After the introduction of the old films, there is a large wave of new films to recommend, and this year's Silk Road Film Festival has also invited many award-winning new films in the past two years to join.
For example, last year's Cannes hit "Son of Thor"
As well as "Lobster", "Wandering Dipan", "Young and Vigorous", "My King", and "Macbeth", which are also Cannes. And Kore-eda's Sea Street Diary
and "45th Anniversary" from Berlin, which was won by the Berlin Film Emperor and the Film Queen last year.
There is also the Berlin Silver Bear Award, Best Director's "Cheers! and the controversial Russian film Under the Electronic Clouds
There is even "Shepherd and butcher" in Berlin, which was just released this year.
Award-winning films from the Venice Film Festival will also be screened, such as Sokulov's The Louvre Under German Occupation.
Marco Bellocchio's Blood of My Blood and so on
Other new foreign films include the very popular fantasy themes "Super New Testament", "Danish Girl", "Mechanical Ji", "Tailor", "Wild Horse" and so on
In the Chinese film part, we can also see some classic old films, such as
"Journey to the West" two parts
Wu Tianming directed and Zhang Yimou starred in "Old Well". The film also helped director Zhang Yimou get the Tokyo International Film Festival Film Emperor. There are also Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Horse Thieves", Chen Kaige's "Yellow Land", and He Ping's "Double Flag Town KnifeMan", all of which are Chinese masterpieces in the west.
The new films also include Bi Gan's "Roadside Picnic", First's award-winning "What's in the Black Place" and "Farewell", as well as berlin's Silver Bear Award's "Yangtze River Map", "Home in a Place with Abundant Water and Grass", shortlisted for Sundance's "Joy and Love", Shanghai International Film Festival's award-winning "Delan" and "Soul on the Leather Rope". My good friend Yunzhong also had a screening of "Normal Breathing".
In fact, there are many films worth watching, which will be screened at the Silk Road Film Festival in Xi'an, which requires you to slowly explore, the schedule and the number of scenes on Che Guevara are there, you can find it yourself.
From Beijing to Shanghai to Xi'an, I hope that there will be more such film festivals every year, bringing more good movies to everyone. Let's be exhausted by theatrical films, but also have some really good movies to enjoy ourselves.
Looking at it, this year's Silk Road International Film Festival will be held in Xi'an from the 18th to the 23rd of this month, and basically the popular films also have more tickets. If you happen to be in Xi'an, or nearby, you can also give yourself a vacation, go to see it a few times, and have a movie addiction!
If you want to buy a ticket, you can also go directly to Che Guevara
Come on, I kind of want to go to Xi'an!
