First of all, I still have to thank iQIYI Entertainment, which gave me fans this year to make it more convenient for me to watch the film.
Then, the Palme d'Or results are officially out, and we'll take a look at it together. Congratulations to Bong Joon-ho, this is also a movie that I like very much this year, and this is the first place in this year's field magazine. At the same time, after last year's "Thief Family", another year of Asian films won the award, congratulations.
Also, this movie is really good, I hope you can see him as soon as possible later.

Next, I will also casually say a few words:
Another year at the Cannes Film Festival, another year in the Palme d'Or.
This is the fourth year of Cannes. From not knowing anything at the beginning, I can now wander around and familiarize myself with various details, and I have become an old cannes fritter.
In fact, coming to Cannes this year is a bit hesitant. Although, there is a lot of happiness and a lot of fun. However, I am really too tired. For more than ten days, I only slept four or five hours a day, nibbled on bread every day, and had to stay up for jet lag. When I was young, I was fine, but now that I am older, I obviously feel that my physical strength is not too good to keep up.
Of course, I still came.
Because, I'm a slut!
This is the charm of Cannes, no matter how hard it is, I still want to come and see. Because, this is the holy land of movie fans, and it is the paradise of movie pilgrimage. Half of the movies you want to see the most this year are likely to be seen here, and your top ten of the year is likely to have one or two from here.
So, ignore what I said at the beginning.
Watching movies in Cannes, still, super cool!!!
However, it is still necessary to admit that the number of films watched this year is also significantly less than in previous years. I have watched 35 feature films and 11 short films. In addition, I continued to cooperate with iQiyi Entertainment and did many issues of "Peach i Cannes", which was not done well, but it was always necessary to leave something for everyone to deal with.
After talking about the list of winners, let's talk about the movies I've seen in Cannes this year, the movies that I think are good and can share with you.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
My annual top ten this year will definitely have this one, steady top three, whether it can be the first, it depends on whether there will be a better movie in the next few months (I hope there will be).
After watching it that day, I was very excited and said a lot of very emotional things. Now that I've calmed down a bit, I'm going to share this movie more objectively.
First of all, I may have to realize that this film is destined to fail to satisfy everyone, but in fact, it is more like a fan self-congratulatory film. If you happen to have those fan complexes that Quentin hides in the film, those little infatuations, then you must not be able to love it. There are so many details in the film that touch me, which is why I will be excited to see it at the end.
However, if you just don't hi these, you may be confused the whole time, this Nyima what a thing!
Before some netizens left a message, saying that if you want to understand this movie, you need to watch which movies to make up lessons, I think this problem is so difficult, and make up classes are even more difficult. I don't think I can make up, like is like, dislike will not fall in love because you temporarily raided 100 classic Westerns, not so much, there are too many emotions here.
Of course, there is no need for everyone to like it, some people like it, hehehe.
《Parasite》
This one is also particularly good-looking, and it belongs to the kind of film that critics and ordinary audiences will love.
Because, the ornamental is also very strong.
It is the kind of movie that is very good to watch, after all, Bong Joon-ho's film has always been the kind of genre film that emphasizes ornamentation, but the clever thing about people is that at the same time, the author elements and his issue expression are implanted in the genre, so that the film has more depth, or aftertaste.
It is said that the director does not let spoilers, so let's talk about the feelings. The director combines black comedy with thriller elements. There's satirical humor, thrilling action, and finally endless sentimentality and powerlessness.
Since "Mother", Bong Joon-ho has finally returned to Korea to create, and the quality of his works has also returned to the peak level of his Korean period, which is very good. In particular, the full acting skills of the actors are reproduced, and all the staff Oh, each one is very good!
Deerskin
This is the opening film of this year's director's biweekly, and it is also recognized as a film that does not lose the main competition. This film is from Quentin Dupiyo, and if you have seen his previous films such as "Rubber Tire Killer" and "Real", you should also love this one. Because, it's still that kind of very absurd film.
However, at the same time, the absurdity is accompanied by satire and various comedic elements, plus the film is very short, which looks very enjoyable. In particular, Jean Duardan's performance is still very good, and it also helps the film to improve a lot, if you are interested, you still have to watch it!
The Traitor
Because I have always liked Marco Bellocchio, this film is also a film that the main competition is very much looking forward to this year. After seeing it, the feeling is that it is really stable. The 80-year-old director's sword is not old, which is gratifying.
The story is based on real events, italian mafia boss Tommaso buscetta joined forces with prosecutors to denounce former mafia colleagues, which also caused a big mafia shock.
However, the core of the film is not the mafia crime, but also focuses on the male protagonist, who is a person who attaches great importance to the glory of the mafia family, but finally becomes a "traitor". So, the reasons for his betrayal, the anger, the inner entanglements, the emotions with his former accomplices, including fear, all revolve around this man and make this character very plump.
Because there are too many characters, especially the Italian name is so long, in fact, it will be a little tired at first, but after looking in, it is still good-looking. The director's approach is still very old,corpus, with a solid narrative, stable mood, and occasional flashes of showmanship (subjective shots blowing up cars)
In addition, the performance of the male protagonist is also very good, especially the male protagonist.
Rocket Man
It's a particularly entertaining film, and I'm very happy with the whole film, and I'm a little moved. The maturity of biopic production alone exceeds that of Bohemian Rhapsody, especially in light of the production ties between the two films.
With Elton John's gorgeous stage style, the film also achieves good songs, visual gorgeous, and embellished with small surreal elements. The film is a very good entertainment film, or worth watching in the theater, although it is doubtful that it is difficult to release in the mainland.
《First Love》
Takashi Miike's new film "First Love" is actually not bad, this film is shortlisted for the director's bi-weekly, so the attention is relatively low. I remember when Takashi Miike introduced the film before the screening, he also deliberately emphasized that this film is particularly simple, similar to the title, first love.
In fact, he is a film, this piece of blood is not low, he is a big liar, hahaha.
All kinds of scenes of severed hands and beheadings, as well as a lot of bad taste complexes.
The story returns again to the unscrupulous underworld setting that Takashi Miike is best at, and several clues are intertwined with the dark setting. Also, the most interesting character is actually Someya Shota, who is a supporting character, and is very unsmiling.
La Gomera
This Romanian film that was shortlisted for the main competition does not seem to be so highly discussed, but in fact, the film is still good. After all, Bo Lan Boyu's works are also guaranteed.
This is the kind of film that is more beautiful, and the entertainment is not bad.
The film is full of satirical elements, which you can understand as a fable, or a satirical sketch. The beauty of the film is also that it wraps a world of horrors that are monitored and monitored with comedy.
Pain and Glory
Almodóvar's is also a media super love, and has become the Palme d'Or in the hearts of many people. Although I don't love this part as much as other friends, I must admit that this one is really good.
The story is still full of elements that are common in the director's previous films. However, after people get older, their attitude towards many things has become more gentle. About movies, about childhood, about motherhood, about sexuality, about love...
Portrait of a Burning Woman
This image is really strong, art, photography, clothing and other aspects are very prominent, the natural light of photography plus candlelight, but also the face is beautiful.
The plot itself has a lot of touching and release, and the mood is still good.
Several Chinese-language films
Counting Zhao Deyin's film, a total of five Chinese-language feature films were selected for the Cannes Film Festival this year, which happened to be spread across four units. Among them, film critic Zhou's "Spring River Plumbing" has not been watched because the time is not right, and it will not be said.
The other four films, Director Diao Yinan's "The Party at South Station", is mainly strong in the directorial part, and director Diao Yinan's use of light and shadow is further strengthened in this part, which is also the main focus of this film.
I have also written about this film before, and I will not say more here.
There are two kinds of attention units, first Zu Feng's "Six Desire Heavens"
This is actually a strange crime story, but the core of the discussion is still about healing and healing, including topics such as depression. It's just that when the director deals with the relationship between several parts, he is still inexperienced, and the film is a bit hard. There are not many technical highlights.
The deepest impression is that the scene in which Liu Tianchi made a cameo was very bad, a very horse-grabbing performance, very staged, and it didn't look like he was acting in a movie at all.
The other is Zhao Deyin's "Burning Secret", which is actually quite disappointing.
This is a story about meta, in fact, I am looking forward to it. However, it is too bad to say. The film is more of a psychological horror feeling, but it is not filmed at all, and the metoo part is too exaggerated and dramatic, but it loses the real power that the film should have.
In the first half, the memes about the set can still resonate with everyone a little. The psychological horror in the back is basically chaotic, the shooting is very chaotic, the emotions are more grasping, and I feel that the director himself has not thought too much about how to shoot.
In addition, there is also a Chinese film in the director's bi-weekly unit, "Singing Alive" directed by Ma Nan
In fact, it is quite boring, and it belongs to the kind of film that can be forgotten after watching it. There are too many symbols piled up in the film, which is a bit deliberate. For example, this is about the decline of a Small River Opera Troupe, where there are topics of tradition and modernity, and at the same time, it involves the topic of demolition, the relationship between two generations. Then, a land gong and peacock were specially created, which is also too uncomfortable.
This piece also has a dragon logo, and you will know it when you look back.
