10/12/2020, @ NYFF58 Virtual Cinema. Venting 75 mins straight. “You’re overwhelmed by the feeling that there’s always one person too many on this planet and that person is you.” “And when I look into the camera, there might be eternity on the other side or just nothing.” (奇怪,我前一天也刚好写下十分类似的话。)
形式新颖,不乏惊艳。一部电影一个人坐在各种各样的lobby,全程间离的方式和你(观众)聊天、告诉你一些关于死亡的人生经验,偶尔无趣、偶尔深刻,只言片语间透露着有启发性的哲思。可能是为了避免枯燥,谈及“在场”与“不在场”、电影内外、时间长河的先后(“我需要喝咖啡,但对你已是过去”)很能形成主角和观众的互动效果,实体影院和线上影院的观影感受注定“不可互相语”,这也是这部电影最有趣的地方。

哇,那么深,那么反光,那么布雷赫蒂安,那么无所不知,那么多角度探索太空,但是你已经知道了,包括我的一星级评论,不是吗?(wow, so deep, so reflective, so Brechtian, so all-knowing, so much exploration of space with the angles, but you are already knew that, including my 1-star review, no?)
花这么多时间看如此没意义的电影的意义在于什么?永恒的谜题。
