公寓2024

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.

黑仙女

　　在完全印度文化的背景下，女主安努舒卡·莎瑪試過了殺人的公路驚悚片和與鬼魂相關(guān)的喜劇片后，在她制片的第三部作品中講了一個(gè)西方惡魔的故事。　　從宗教勢力的追捕中僥幸逃生的惡魔之女，在母親的保護(hù)下，在山林中活到二十幾歲。母親去世后，女孩走進(jìn)城市，被善良內(nèi)向的男人收留。　　這是一個(gè)異類不惜付出一切渴望融入人類生活，渴望愛情的故事。聯(lián)想到所有宗教都奉行的五花八門的女性禁忌，聯(lián)想到女孩的母親是因?yàn)楸粡?qiáng)迫才懷上了她，不禁感嘆:也許所有女人都是主流社會(huì)眼中的惡魔。因?yàn)閻郏四軗碛写輾б磺械牧α?因?yàn)閻郏四芊畔乱磺谐鸷?因?yàn)閻郏四軤奚磺校ㄗ约骸Ｊ澜缇褪潜贿@樣的惡魔支撐著的。想盡辦法把她們趕盡殺絕的人，和她們自己，誰是真正的惡魔?作為低成本獨(dú)立制片的恐怖電影，聲效化妝場景什么的，都沒什么毛病，都在及格線以上。不過如果不像我一樣對(duì)故事這么煽情，觀眾應(yīng)該會(huì)覺得故事太單薄，不夠刺激。一些觀眾群體可能會(huì)覺得不太舒服。畢竟在這部電影中，心中有愛的惡魔之女不是真的惡魔，那些站在正義一方的驅(qū)魔人才是。

天鵝中的狼

等待方舟

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
