Too Cult William J. Hole,jr. The Devil's Hand(1962)

Speaking of dolls in the horror movie, pygmariolism or creating a wax doll with a flesh-and-blood human beings, or evil spirit haunting , but would be the most facile stage setting. Such banal setting  in this movie , was not used, I do not know well until the end what doll mean.

The man of the hero it is drawn into the cult, but I do not know what the cult is  background of what teaching, which was  Buddhism because its religious statue  are placed, but in front of that  black  man has hit the drums of Africa,  African dance is danced accordingly.

Doll was the tool to dominate the believers, like the Japanese straw doll Ushinotokimairi, for they can give pain by piercing the needle, but that  is not a force of up to deadly, man lover her look-alike doll stabbed a needle into the chest , but it is only effect to go to the hospital for pain.

Finally, eventually, lovers are able to escape from the cult, because it is too cult, it is noticed to become the last that I do not know they might have worship what.

Small Talk and Madness Eric Rohmer,Le beau marriage

Young woman who affair with a man with wife, whether holding a anaerobic in such a relationship,  declared that she would get married, moreover, because from being decided on their own to the husband while not also obtained consent, if you extract the story only,  Eastwood's Play Misty for Me  However, it did not go so far as mental illness such as Play Misty for Me, and are you staying on the extent and that violent child of belief, her at the minimum, to protect the civility, fit into the series of "comedy and Proverbs" probably because the sense of distance alone is maintained.

Trivial conversation are stacking the madness , hampered enable the erode at the root. Madness, it's possible that lurking in our everyday, but the apparent madness  is difficult to fit into the everyday.

Desert and Sparseness Robert Altman,O.C And Stiggs(1985)

On the one hand,  there is the director who wants to take repeating a particular genre or theme, on the other hand ,  always working on a new genre. The majority of directors will belong to the former. Because after all producers and the audience seek something similar Becoming great,  it is difficult s/he was left a variety of genres. When s/he will become masters, and poured their every available piece, genre movie will not take. But he didn't have results, he could not be employed. All in all, always to say the coach to challenge a new genre movie, I cannot but recall Godard and Altman. Although there are Howard Hawks as a senior.

In Altman's cinema I first came to like O.C And Stiggs(1985) .  Two high school students are  heroes, but does not come almost out of it in the school. In addition, the stage is as same as the 3 women and Fool For Love, as in the western, is the city which consists of a house lined up some of the desert. Two people are holding a great hostility to the neighbor family whose master is the president of the insurance company, it has to launch a variety of mischief, the only thing that is annoying to live for. In addition, , his son is a classmate of O. C's classmate  ,who is kinky, wife is alcoholism and charged with liquor throughout the house .

No matter how different genre, so that sound and video collage way are pressed stamp of Godard, and inherent to Altman, and the sound heard in the multi-layered, offbeat sense, besides dilution of human relationships is the difference. If it would be intense pathos of the story, such as Fool For Love, body fluids between humans and human fellowship does'n exist , that's not, can not be pulled apart. How even as a partner enters strongly in your body, it is a only been pressed meat, concave shape even left, are sparseness that would immediately away, is always drifting.

Corpse and Romance Hitchcock,The Trouble with Harry

Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry was that a corpse was discovered, and multiple persons were convinced that they killed, so each tried to hide a corpse here and there.

It's a most favorite one among the Hitchcock movie, so I think , Hitchcock himself had said, it was Ebglish humor, or British-styled understatement,and, such as  Keaton's deadpan,  dead body was carried to and fro.

However, according to Leslie Brill, sweets of the The Trouble with Harry  is not such a discordant response (that is, even though there is a corpse, trying to treat it ordinarily), but completely eliminate destructive things from cinema. Anyone cannot receive a practical distress among the movie, will not be or become the cause. Also it is not even exposed to such threats. The comic elements of this movie, after all, was obsessive  recurring  regeneration. If  time and death do not have the power to hurt the people, no matter what to be afraid of.

And corpse will eventually tie a small country town in the center of a couple. In that sense, The Trouble with Harry  was ,among the movies of Hitchcock, completed as romance (in the meaning of the  classification of Northrop Frye).

Not Thousand Plateau ,but new Platform Jia Zhangke 's Platform

 Jia Zhangke 's Pickpocket  and Platform were both  group play, so to say him the hero is misleading, ,but it is a central role Wang Hong Wei is similar to Japanese actor/comedian Akira Oizumi, that's strange feeling when  he is singing to the song.

Platform has drawn the China of the 1980s, it is an ambiguous title. There is also the song titled platform to be repeated several times in the movie, and characters who had to trip and show among the era that will change the station platform (However, the scene is not so much depicting the station itself), but also such as when that computer platform, probably are also shows the OS specific basic part of China. Platform and also means a place raised as podium, but all it is is also the first step should be the foundation does not make sense unless reach its height.

It is said that  Chinese now experience were the way that old Japan had , but I'm very skeptical. It is also required to have a wide of China can not be well imagined.  Japanese history was much narrow , Tokyo and Kyoto were central to turn,  atmosphere, air and the eyes of surveillance also spread from two cities. Because at most there are only two poles,  changes are rapid, and vulnerable. On the other hand China, of course,  dynasty was changed ,but true revolution were twice. Han ethnic group  was chased the center, and communist revolution by Mao Zedong. So many  plateau are formed, and when it has also become a thousand, already it is not a plateau,'s a new surface.

Impact and small stab Alex de la Iglesia,Oxford Muders

In a recent time very sensitive situation for the movie  spoilers, I like I think too irritable. Although it will matter how much content in detail told about, for it is not I like to worry terribly, but when thinking the movie was my  favorite directors' and looking forward to ,so I want to hear about it ,the thing is not what I want.

But, shocking or unexpected,etc used in commercial is much troubling. Because thus commercialized, unexpected event would never be coming.  Recent example was David Fincher's Gone Girl, since that shocking plot had been too said, honestly I did not know where the shocking . Expected to impact becomes inflation state, reality of the work did not keep up with it. However, the movie itself was interesting as expected.

Alex de la Iglesia in the supervision of native Spain, had never seen one before. Oxford  Murders of 2008, on the stage of the town Oxford University, incidentally Morse Inspector series (the original of Colin Dexter) of the United Kingdom of Granada TV were also Oxford staged,cinema's story was that famous mathematician  solve the mystery of the serial killer,much produced in TV, but it's not terribly different than TV drama, in the scene where the first victim is found,  a student who rides bicycle and a professor who walks ,two person arrive in the same house through a different road, and joined at the entrance, with close-up of an old woman exposing the face of a person who has died , is caught in one cut, it seemed that he tributed to the Hitchcock' Frenzy , stepped back from up the face of a person who has died, as it is door opens and down the stairs, and  in the same one cut up to capture the house in among the hustle and bustle of the city, but it  do not say that impact deployment of but, it's with the comfort as if it was one small stab.

Everyday some part communicable , some part uncommnicable Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop

After some decades ,finally, I was able to look back to Monte Hellman's Two-Lane Blacktop .

In 1971 the movie was　public, I do not think hardly saw to the theater at that time, so had seen a video on the university of time, or even perhaps some things, such as seen on TV. And it had left in the dimly impression was that it was a interesting road movie , and only remember the figure of a man standing in the road. Furthermore, what has been dragged by the Japanese title(Break or so, implying uncommunicable), it was enough that the story of the "break" with the middle-aged man and young people.

But first and foremost,Two-Lane Blacktop is a movie of the car. Strangely, and despite the gathering minicar childhood, and rolled paste the seal of the car in bran, and guessed all the models of cars running on the road, the exhibition of the super car  ,only I remembered  a much different Lamborghini Countach, which revealed the bizarre shape I did not take the license, because any time I want to drink, (now,I don't drink at all), I thought that there is no such thing to drive. But now do not drink at all liquor,  I wonder, it was good not taking  license, since originally not very carefully, if there is a license, I might have long ago gone to this world.

However,that's not why I didn't watch some film group, such  was especially starring Burt Reynolds about the car. Therefore, to say the movie about car remaining in the impression, Walter Hill The Driver, Tarantino, Death Proof and  Refun DRIVE.

Heroes of Two-Lane Blacktop is while continuing to race, go across the Americas. Even though the race, not rich in bent, such as driving techniques of European-style is a great need, it is a straight line course of the speed game. Sometimes seen on television, I can't understand what is  interesting, but by modifying the old model, which eliminate the resistance, and start thinking of whether placing the engine commensurate with the body, the hero of this movie is so a certain way, do not be too even at just how stoic.

While they may have fights to do so, but will be young women and middle-aged man is applied, go goodbye without also be developed into a love and deep affection. The deer then, it is gone and "break" will that primp unnecessarily serious movies, everyday differences such small rubbing there rather, is each other to touch.  There may be the cinema's historical "break", and if you look from today it is no longer uncommon to draw such a day-to-day, it is simply a very funny movie.

Balloon,too light to unbearable Seijun Suzuki,Yumeji

Among the things that are said to Taisho Roman trilogy of Seijun Suzuki, Zigeunerweisen and Kagero-za were I do not know how many times to see them. But Yumeji ( Yumeji Takehisa was Taisyo-era popular painter,whose pathetic women figures were well known) was not so much, but still 5 or 6 times or I would have. This Try again review, it is of course be sufficiently interesting, but it was felt again if this film do not reach before two other works.

First,it does not have much sense of openness. Indoor scene a lot, even to go out, since the mountains of Kanazawa, there is a feeling sealed. Therefore there is no sense of movement. At Zigeunerweisen , Yoshio Harada and Fujita Toshiya was always walking, and at
Kagero-za, Yusaku Matsuda was walking around aimost desperate forms " but, Kenji Sawada of Yumeji was just lying. Zigeunerweisen was based on Hyakken Uchida's short storys and Kagero-za was combined some of the work of Kyoka Izumi (screenplay all three works by Yozo Tanaka ), but I don't know well how part original  in the Yumeji, what extent of episodes of real life have been taken, location and character has original model.

Actress Masumi Miyazaki , Tomoko Mariya, Kabuki actor Bando Tamasaburo singer Kenji Sawada, it is too light. Speaking of Seijun specific character, Fujita Toshiya of Zigeunerweisen , Nakamura  Katuo and  Ryutaro Otomo of Kagero-za, they were like some coagulated thing ,existed in screen, such ware most  attractive, but such person does not appear in the Yumeji. Lastly,objects that just the core, bone image is Zigeunerweisen, whereas the ground cherry  of Kagero-za, but, in Yumeji, fluffy emotional and something of too light to be intolerable ,that is, paper balloon.

Hirota Leona's the role was paraｌlel to  Mariko Kaga of Kagero-za  but,her dignity is insufficient. However, scene that are attached to big pickle barrel was interesting.

Time Eat the Soul,Jacques Rivette's Beautiful Troublemaker

Jacques Rivette's Beautiful Troublemaker (1991) had two versions,  a little less than four hours and two hours a little. Shorter seemed having beden re-edited at the time of the DVD release, subsequently seen at the theater at that time, there was no chance to see, I saw the shorter of the first time two hours little.

However, since the structure itself of the story is simple, it does not mean there is a content varying just because film was almost half the time.  Original story was Balzac, and a painter who works few, already supposed to have been past the heyday (Michel Piccoli), but had become unfinished by several years wife  (Jane Birkin) to model work , and it will be resumed in women (Emmanuelle Beart) model that met in casual opportunity, to complete. However, painter  would suppose that work to destroy the peaceful life of the now , filled the work in the wall.

In fact, glance at that works, Beart was looks like soul was taken Sucking, so break up also with the lover. Most of scene , the painter is running the brush , pause was changed one after another by the instruction, and the sound , a variety of writing instruments that rub the canvas,go ran canvas is filled with .

Because only saw each version once, I affirm the I can not be, it is to seem to be superior to the four-hour version, because is showing us explicitly becoming a thing . For example, America　By Night of Truffaut is show me the back of the filming, but when the multiplayer of about cinematography are involved, seems to be showing the back of the trick gimmick, an exclamation to its sophistication ,but not very mysterious part.

I myself, a skeptical about that there is force of art that would leave took in an instant the soul, not nearly such an experience. And rather approachable difficulty, still have not fitness, but is indifferent to it that can not be withstand disturbing, review and reread many times, you will notice the first time that they are cut into the soul . At such process  two hours was at least too short for me,  not enough, even four hours.

Duration and Repetition Jia Zhang Ke, Unknown Plesure

 Unknown Pleasure's Japanese title is Blue Lightning.Near the end  of Unknown Pleasure ", there is a scene that captures endlessly a character riding a motorcycle from the front. And behind there are mountains not amusing even in landscape painting, has spread almost nothing wilderness on both sides of the road. Suddenly it began to rain, running a lightning bolt behind.
According to the interviews with the director,  the scene was  better to cut that can be too sensitive, it decided to leave after all that. After all, his riding  bike fails in the middle, but hustle asked to put on the car as win, it will not be able to go to the place you want to go "voluntarily".

Unknown Pleasure is a kind of sequel to Platform, that of 1980 after the Chinese one district has become a stage. Although there is poor when the Platform, it has been able to wander still a place to place the various places, in the Unknown Pleasure , what is in abundance, Olympics also determined, although the country also raised, where young people don't know what to do.

The situation in the sense that it was said so's a blockage, but the the obstruction is not as it is to the choking, it is also because a few air holes are opened . For example,  impressively employed two repetition.

At first alone that issued the dabble in woman of others, among the club, beaten slapping too many times in the palm of the hand the cheeks. Second time the woman of the problem, where many times going a breakup with a man and get away from the bus is also pushed back to the man. Certainly these scenes might have a sense of stagnation represents "symbolic," but, if there is a pure pleasure of seeing a repeat, it is also one escape from the closed set of circumstances by such perverted pleasures.

In addition, to be surprised, there is a tribute to the Pulp Fiction of Tarantino , and a strange combination of Tarantino and Jia Zhangke, was a gift, and Ennui was not also bad malaise caused by obstruction.
