has watched many good movies this year, but for surprises, this one is the first. It was so shocking when the mystery of the film was revealed, a very wonderful narrative trick.
script is really awesome. No part is superfluous, every inadvertent flashback and changed detail is an important foreshadowing. I knew there would be a reversal, but when it really came, I still couldn't help but say "wtf"...
In recent years, Iranian directors have been really good at telling stories, and they play suspense very well. Looking at other people’s movie screenwriters, Iranian movies have already left us far behind.
's plot follows the protagonist's perspective throughout the whole process, using a wonderful combination of reality and reality and rich sound effects to respond to the character's mental trauma and visual disability respectively. The plot of the entire film is driven solely by the interaction between the male and female protagonists' lines, and both male and female protagonists' performances are worthy of a Best Actor Award.
The non-linear narrative, unconventional rhythm and jumping editing are one of the highlights of the film. It's not until the moment when the mystery is revealed at the end that you suddenly realize all the details that have been carefully buried before.
As much as I don’t understand it at the beginning, I will be shocked at the end. Under that kind of turmoil, people's kindness and survival instinct, the empathy and natural compassion generated by communication, penetrate the screen and reach into the heart.
In an era of absurdity and chaos, if you want to keep your "conscience", you have to sacrifice your freedom and eyes. May there always be someone who can always be loyal to conscience, justice and truth, go on, and finally be able to see the light...
