These include the silent film "Pansi Cave", the Yue opera film "Dream of the Red Chamber", the Kabuki scene "Even the Lion", the ink animation short film "Little Tadpole Finds Mother", the Iranian classic film "Little Shoes", and the new work "Wild Pear Tree" by Turkish contemporary master Ceylon. The films are created over 90 years ago and cover a wide range of masterpieces and emerging forces.
All of the more than 60 films will be screened in Beijing, and in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi'an, they will be screened with the themes of "Long True Feelings", "Urban Beats", "Poetry and Distant Places" and "Artistic Rebirth".
Take a look at the screening table at Shanghai Station:
Regarding the screening of the film, here is a highlight:
Hallyu's "Riverside Hotel" can be regarded as "a thousand calls to start coming out", then how long has Shanghai not put Korean films in movie theaters?
Hong Changxiu's filming is short and fast, as to whether he has the confession of an intellectual or the greasy of a middle-aged literati, this dispute is a matter of opinion, but fortunately, the beauty of his goddess Kim Min-hee is similar to the existence of axioms.
The Japanese "Cut belly", "The Fruit of Life" and "Deeper Than the Sea" are all worth watching.
"Cut belly" is the masterpiece of the combination of master director Masaki Kobayashi and national treasure actor Tatsuya Nakadai. Having an actor like Tatsuya Nakayo is a blessing in the Japanese film and drama world.
The Fruit of Life is a documentary about the life of Akitsuta Tofuchi and his wife in modern Japan. Shuichi Tsubata, who was the chief architect of the Japanese Residential Corporation, proposed the idea of preserving the woods as a way to open the way for the wind in the 1960s, hoping that new construction projects would begin to coexist with nature, but they were not adopted by the policy of giving priority to economic development at that time. He dropped off his job and bought land in the residential area, built a house and planted trees. He and his wife lived in seclusion in the forest, far away from the hustle and bustle, and documentary filmmaker Kenyuki Fushihara impressed the old couple with four letters after three Gu Maolu, saying that he was "willing to assist in the filming." Narrator for the film was Kiki Shirin, who was suffering from cancer at the time and died shortly after the film was completed. During the Shanghai Film Festival last year, "Fruits of Life" was difficult to find, and the audience was missed at that time, which can make up for regrets this time.
Deeper than the Sea, directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, starring Kiki Shirin and Hiroshi Abe. Look.
South Asian movies are treasures, Chinese audiences are already familiar with the "Indian gods", Filipino movies to understand? Let's start with Mendoza and Mama Rosa.
Mendoza's famous work "Grandmother" shows the desperate poverty of the Philippines at the bottom, with women who have nothing to support the operation of the matriarchal family. In "Mama Rosa," he filmed Brecht's masterpiece Bold Mama and Her Kids. Mother Rosa is the "bold mother" on the streets of Manila, in order to survive, she is unscrupulous and introspective, this is not a character that needs pity or recognition, the director uses a sense of oppression and suffocation of the lens language, let the audience see a kind of darkness that swallows humanity from the inside out.
Israel's film standards have always been above the average line, and this "Aftermath" is the Audience Choice Award of the Venice Film Festival, which is highly watchable.
Azerbaijan is a "Caucasus powder keg" that haunts international news pages all year round, so much so that people overlook that there are also good movies there.
Another translation of "Train Love" is called "Bra Strange Edge", which sums it up in one sentence: the old train driver let women in the whole neighborhood try on bras. It is said that when it was screened in Beijing in April, the crowd laughed so hard that it overturned the cinema.
The Little Guy, the film that won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival. After Kazakh director Devatsvoy switched from documentary to feature film, he made two films in ten years. The film itself is very depressing, but the heroine's vitality on the screen is really amazing.
Finally, Shanghai audiences should not cry out "Why is Ceylon's "Wild Pear Tree" not here", Ceylon is the chairman of the jury of this year's Shanghai Film Festival, and the "Chairman Film Festival" during the film festival next month will package and screen his works, "Wild Pear Tree". Be patient, and wait.
