The result is a satisfying and original picture.

和朋友聊最喜欢的戏剧。看过法国的默剧,皮娜的现代舞剧,西方传统的歌剧,当代话剧、日本传统的歌舞伎、中国传统的京剧、越剧、评剧、黄梅戏等。首先想起的便是Charlie Kaufman的《纽约提喻法》。他编剧的电影里,还剩这一部没看。果然,从不失望 他的编剧为什么戏剧性那么强?可能是因为他始终在探寻人内心的迷宫,就像希区柯克的《迷魂记》一样,剧情的转折是为了体现人复杂的内心世界,而不是为了转折而转折。所以,人性看似复杂的反复是最有戏剧性的,而在人内心最幽暗复杂的迷宫里,始终有一条金色的线,抓住它就能拨开重重隐喻下的迷雾,一切又变得如此简单 但是他的编剧是有门槛的,在我看来用了很多文学里的表现手法,隐喻象征等,还需要一些心理学知识,起码是兴趣 又,这位拍片也是如此的慢

A treat for aficionados of oddball movies.
