Max is a real jerk. A long time ago, the successful lawyer had turned over all the routine duties of family life to his wife Nathalie.His comfort and leisure time were a far greater priority. Sell the roadster and buy an efficient family car? No way!But then, Max’s fast-paced life suddenly screeches to a halt when Nathalie is hospitalized for several weeks with a complicated fracture.Alone with their two children and the dog he hates, Max quickly reaches the boiling point.As if having to play father was not bad enough, he is shocked to the core when he discovers passionate love letters written to his wife and signed “From G. in love”. Feeling that his life is slipping out of control, Max’s first impulse is to find out who his rival is. Then it dawns on him – could the way he has treated his wife be the reason why she has sought out another lover?Now Max attempts to see his situation from a different point of view. Last week he was ready to plan the yearly guys’ vacation he takes with his best buddy, but now things have changed.Max recognizes just how much he needs Nathalie’s humor, her organizing talent and her optimism, but also just how important to him she and his family really are. Max tries to discover the mysterious lover’s identity, but because of his new insight, he takes an additional step.Unfortunately, when he learns that the mystery man is Gregor, Max realizes that not only does the man have all those qualities - he is very attractive as well. His struggle to become a better husband and father suddenly becomes far more difficult.Hoping to knock Gregor out of the picture and get back in Nathalie’s good graces, Max makes an appointment with a successful life coach. But turning his life around is far more difficult than he had imagined.To make matters worse, Gregor turns out to be a loving, family-oriented man just what Nathalie needs. Max is desperate – he knows there is a real chance that he might lose Nathalie and the children.Willing to put everything on the line to keep his family intact, Max makes the biggest sacrifice of his life. Then something happens that is the very last thing he could have ever counted on…

人体模型、红衣女人、冥婚、密室逃脱还不错，恐怖桥段传统但有效
梗不新，很多都猜得到走向。但是胜在一个个短小，该恐怖该血腥一点不含糊，还不错。
关于一次拆迁。漏水发霉的房顶，好友的离别，搬空后物件零落的房间。老屋在梦里反复出现如昨日般新鲜。雨季时在杉树下投出篮球，砸在松动的筐上咣咣作响。球砸破窗槛的牛奶瓶，落到泡沫花盆里，沾上仙人掌的小刺。井水冲刷掉地面的热气，喇叭花早已收起耳朵。一样的秋风扫过，杉叶落在地上，杉树也落在地上。
一般般吧，没什么好看的感觉，表达的东西很少，有贾樟柯的壳子没有贾樟柯的内外，对于电影来说太过平淡了，但是槽点也不是太多，中规中矩的一部文艺片吗？
一部有着很浓厚导演个人成长色彩的片子，所以按这个逻辑和架构如果换我拍那就是东北居民楼里的邻里情仇哈哈哈
#平遥国际电影展#柬埔寨导演的个人经验——关于成长的地方，三段式结构:祝福、精神家园和雨季。对于个人经验的表达，与其说顺时或阶段式表达建筑/家园腐烂的过程，不如像《薄荷糖》一样反向揭示腐烂背后的痛点。
#首尔怪谈
懦弱的父辈和无法摆脱的噩梦，病房里的一幕让我想起高中时父亲做手术的场景，男孩迷茫的面庞和面对未知的恐惧我感同身受。男孩的世界——舞蹈，远行的朋友，调笑的女孩，乌黑发霉的屋顶和滴落在不锈钢水盆中的雨滴——摇摇欲坠的世界终于崩塌了，而男孩无力承受、也不被要求承受任何。“我很害怕，”男孩被噩梦惊醒，走向他的父亲，然后穿过他，继续走下去。
5《邻居》
莫名想起《夜以继夜》。之前在平遥一天天被新人导演电影所支配的无聊感又再次体会到了。题材非常棒。冗长无趣，剧情乱，摄影差，气氛无烘托，误导的地方太多了。这个男主角得奖是认真的吗，演技在哪儿。见到贾导很开心，实在没想到已经过了2年了。看完短片很感动。
总觉得因为导演自己的思绪主导的太多以至于故事其实讲的不是很清，对于剧本或者电影而言会觉得不是很完整，特别是阿卡-友谊这部分的呈现比重和结局都很仓促。但如果站在个人而言，我如果只是想拍一部表达自己经历和情感的片子，那很多时候的情感特别是童年成长，它其实就是模糊混沌没有结果也没有逻辑的。所以对于剧情而言要看在什么角度来评价了。
PYIFF2021，很私人的拍摄视角，有些镜头比如最后的手持感觉可以找到更好的角度，情绪很满。其实没有带着期待，但还挺喜欢的
猜想爱奇艺本打算让这部电影走“艺联院线”，但终究没算到现如今这持久的疫情和无奈的社会现实，于是干脆直接上了自家的视频门户网站。从电影开端部分那一组非常漂亮的航拍镜头，就基本确定了这部电影的主题和风格，所以在观影过程中也就没有太多意外的惊喜。作为一部长片电影来看，其揭示的社会现实，以及刻画出的年轻人努力追寻梦想的实现是一个非常好的出发点，可惜在后面的故事展开上明显感觉到了力度的不足，以至于让整部电影十分突显的主旨矛盾慢慢变得微乎其微，且年轻人怀揣的梦想也变得不值一提；如果把它看做是一部了解柬埔寨生活文化的纪实影像的话，那确实是较为成功的，毕竟柬埔寨于国际影坛来说还是较为陌生的。电影在艺术表现手法上，有一定的突出价值，一些镜头的处理也可看出导演对于认真做电影的态度，但故事很难得到主流市场的偏爱。
1.8见到了贾导！很惊喜，太太太压抑了，实在是看不下去。不苟言笑的爸爸，迷信的妈妈，活不出希望的孩子…
第三个故事的内双妹妹很好看，第四五个故事都能更吓人的，但编导完全不知道啥是心理恐怖
有几个故事挺吓人的，冥婚的单元男主身材真好。
7/10，其实个人会比较喜欢，有些东西和生活中的自己太接近了，后半段的镜头明显更好，一切都难以避免的走向离散，父亲未能守住老楼房就像是他忍痛截肢了一般。但本片有一个致命的缺陷在于他的叙事节奏是割裂的，前段中心如果还在男主人公身上，后段这个角色“隐形”了，直到最后二十分钟他又回到了故事里，这一点非常要命，但是不得不说后面的镜头我好喜欢…
质量仍和上一季一样参差不齐，密室逃脱、人体模特、齿虫相对来说较好。我蛮喜欢齿虫的前半部分渲染，后半部分就是一部司空见惯的丧尸片。如果拍第三季的话，请集中几个故事又或是仅专注一个故事展开，不要再浪费颜值盛宴好吗。
一种流离平凡无力的生活影像。城镇变迁中没有选择的能力。
