What are the highlights of the movie square?

Recently, the long-awaited Palme d 'Or 20 17 award-winning work "Square" (also translated as Rubik's Cube and Freedom Square) held its only public screening in Peking University Centennial Lecture Hall a few days ago. When we are surprised by the rough realism of the winners of the 20 15 and 20 16 Palme d 'Or (Wandering Pandit and I am Blake) (after all, the Palme d 'Or has always been the crown of art films), Square can be described as a turning point.

Christian's father is divorced, and he enjoys his time with his two children very much. He works as a curator in a museum of modern art, and his work is very popular. Not only that, he is also an activist who drives environmentally-friendly electric cars and defends the concept of human nature. He is planning an installation exhibition called "Square", which aims to stimulate the altruism of visitors and awaken their sense of responsibility for the next generation. But Christian can't really accept the idea he advocates: when his mobile phone was stolen, his reaction made him feel ashamed ... At the same time, the media organization square of the museum launched a publicity campaign that surprised him: it caught Christian off guard and aroused an existential crisis in his heart ...

However, Square swept away the rough temperament of Palme d 'Or two years ago, which once again reminded us of the writers of modernist art films. We seem to see Bergman's "mask" from the scene where the hero Christian looks up at the "gorilla" video. When Christian went to a reporter's house and saw chimpanzees drawing, it seemed to have some funny taste of Noor.

Full picture frames, exquisite mirrors and meaningful scheduling all announce the return of "form". However, this turn-back is presented in a self-deprecating manner. Among the formal features of this work, the most striking is the square, which can be seen everywhere from the title to the film. This multi-level work shows us a deformed, overlapping and colliding square world.
