It was old Howard Hawks who supplied this definition of a good movie:"Three great scenes. No bad scenes.""Mission to Mars" only gets the first part right.

有點長 看到後麵的確有點累 但很喜歡這種獻給城市的情歌 對城市景觀、建築內外的凝視都充滿了愛 為自己的家努力爭取卻忘了自己騙了自己 當城中隻剩下Mon一個人 當Jimmy在大海中逆著海浪劃著小船 奮鬥無果的傷感更加強烈 “你愛過這個城市嗎？如果沒有愛過，你就無法恨它”

專屬於知識分子的電影，斯特勞夫夫婦將意大利語的口語傳統、這個民族的神話記憶與綿延不絕的西西裏島風光串聯成一首歌。那個最開始始終背對鏡頭的男人，最終與磨刀匠一起站在日光下互相“歌唱”，母親重新把他沉睡的身體喚醒：可以平等分成三份的生活，麵包-美酒-稅金。（修複後的黑白畫麵質感好得驚人）

4.5; Vivarium unfolds a shuddering picture of the modern atomisation and sterilisation of human life, designed to be a replica of nature yet is entirely isolated from nature. Its conscious depiction of the unknown and unknowable avian creatures observing, mimicking and studying human behaviours as though they were but subjects, manages to defamiliarise the quotidian modern life and enable the audience to see and live it in terror. Projecting itself as amplifications of day-to-day life, Vivarium is a frightening, disturbing piece that gives you the shivers; as a film it showcases how to create deeply horrifying experiences for the audience using minimalistic locale and personae. #Mayhem2019

結尾未上膛的手槍如《獨行殺手》一般，電影在一種西方的大語境下尋求東方的道義。帥和搞笑的風格混搭，這就是獨立導演的隨心所欲嗎……
