At the same time, you can also check out the weekly Douban word-of-mouth rankings. Let’s take a look at what new films are on the list this week.
Weekly word-of-mouth ranking
2. "Human Poems"
was an Iranian film shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section of last year's Cannes Film Festival. It actually feels like a collection of short stories, composed of multiple short stories.
However, each story is actually very exciting. It talks about the various troubles and problems encountered by the Iranian people, and it points to a deeper level, which is quite interesting.
Finally, let’s take a look at the synopsis from Douban:
Living in Iran, absurdity is normal. The change of my son's name to David was not approved because the name was too Western; the renewal of my driver's license was refused because of tattoos on my limbs; my car was confiscated because I was driving without wearing a headscarf; I applied for a job as a worker and was asked to demonstrate worship etiquette on the spot... two An Iranian post-80s director co-directed the film with a concise and ingenious narrative design, setting up the camera for nine men and women to perform a black humorous one-man show; from a primary school girl, a middle-aged man looking for a job, to an old woman who lost her dog, they have to face each other every day Kafkaesque nonsense about government agencies, schools, and businesses. Political and religious authority prohibits everything, and moral shackles exert pressure layer upon layer. Could it be that the foundation of the entire Persian culture collapsed in the end?
4. "This Is Me: Celine Dion"
A documentary about Celine Dion launched by Amazon tells the story of her life after she became ill.
Synopsis from Douban:
This is not an extensive look at the life and times of the iconic pop star, but rather a snapshot of key moments in her career. The documentary, which spans about a year, chronicles Dionne's battle with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord. In Dionne's case, the illness interrupted her livelihood and her ability to perform.
5. "Federer: The Last 12 Days"
Another documentary launched by Amazon, this one is about Federer's story. The director is Asif Kapadil, the documentary director who made " Amy " and "Forever Car God", so it is also a documentary worthy of attention.
Synopsis from Douban:
Federer Documentary, directed by Oscar-winning director Asif Kapadia and director Joe Sabbia, is an intimate documentary that chronicles the illustrious career of Roger Federer. Last 12 days. Originally a home video never intended for public viewing, the film captures Federer at his most vulnerable and candid as he says goodbye to the game and fans that have shaped his life over the past two decades. Federer: The Last Twelve Days offers viewers unprecedented access to interviews with legendary rivals and close friends Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray Unparalleled relationships between stars.
9. "If I Could Hibernate"
This was a film in the special attention section of the Cannes Film Festival last year. I also went to the Shanghai Film Festival afterwards, so some friends must have seen it.
This is a Mongolian movie.
Synopsis from Douban:
A Mongolian boy with a talent for physics longs to win the Academic Olympiad. However, before trying to change his destiny with knowledge, he must first accept the test of reality: his single alcoholic mother returned to her hometown to work. He insisted on staying in Ulaanbaatar to continue his studies, but in order to ensure that his younger siblings had enough food and clothing to survive the cold winter, he was forced to work illegally. Purfudasa's first feature film became the first Mongolian video to be selected for a certain point of view section at Cannes. It uses simple lenses to capture the dilemma of a young man trapped in the pursuit of personal ideals and shouldering family responsibilities, contrasting Mongolia's dilemma between maintaining tradition and seeking development. Deep but not sad, there is joy in suffering; hope is reserved for those who strengthen themselves in adversity.
Probably, that's it.
Friends who are interested can still look for the videos and watch them. Maybe you will be surprised.
Finally, as usual, here is the complete list of Douban word-of-mouth rankings for the week:
