THE SUSPENDED STEP OF THE STORK – I found my new favorite Angelopoulos! Timely, while not political, it’s very sympathetic to the immigrants. The story concerns a journalist following the refugee crisis who discovers Greek politician who went missing many years ago is among them.

Politician is played by wonderful Marcello Mastroianni. It’s absolutely fantastic movie, beautiful cinematography, amazing soundtrack FIVE STARS! #drama #film #review #Angelopoulos #TheoAngelopoulos

安哲罗普洛斯电影里儿童的沉默难道不是普世性的吗?谁又能说我们童年的大部分时间不是在沉默中度过的呢?
语言是一种习得。幼年时面对成人,我们在绝大多数时候都是接收者、聆听者,既无反馈,也无评判。我时常想起盯着钢琴老师的嘴,看两片嘴唇上下蠕动,不同的动作发出不同的声音。现在想来,如果以发出声音的人的角度观看,我也是个沉默不知所想的儿童。
大多数时候也许成年人对儿童的沉默不置可否,然而谁又能笃定这沉默本身不是一种道德界限之外的观察和不受约束的弱势呢?
《雾中风景》里面,最希望发生的事就是Voula和Alexandros可以不受压力地永远保持沉默,随着火车长长久久地游荡下去。
