Crackling crackling crackling, endless questions were thrown out one after another, as if there was no need to breathe at all, Bradley exhaled a lot of—

Although this is an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, it is also the first interview after the Oscars. The questions in the reporters' minds can be poured out like a surging river. Bradley is only showing the tip of the iceberg. All the questions are packaged and thrown out.

Lan Li couldn't help laughing happily, "Slow down, slow down, we still have time to talk slowly. But before reading the newsletter, I can answer some questions first. The Oscar is undoubtedly a very important award, but just as As I said at the beginning, this is a pressure and a motivation. I look forward to becoming a better actor. Therefore, we can leave it to the work to answer the topic of Xiaojinren."

After a pause, Lan Li held up the magazine in his hand, "For example, "Lobster". What about this work? I think this is the perfect answer."

Gavin and Bradley exchanged sights once again: using works to speak. Sure enough, it is Lan Li, full of confidence, and the calm aura displayed from the inside out is indeed not comparable to any actor, even among the superstar-level actors, it is second to none.

It is still a familiar "screen" journal, clearly listing the comments and scores of ten specially invited media. Each year, the invited media may be slightly different, but the authority and professionalism are adequately guaranteed-not to mention, the field Journal rating is just one of the reference data for media reviews.

The only interesting detail is that some of the rating columns are vacant, which also means that the reporter in charge of the review has not watched the film yet, has not submitted the review and score, and is temporarily vacant. It will be filled after the watch is finished— -Of course, there are a very small number of special cases. You may miss it if you missed it. The reporter draws a conclusion of "not to read it" based on the comments and information of the peers, and will not read it later.

After all, there are only eleven days in the film festival, and the number of participating films is too much. When time is limited, everyone must make a choice.

However, for the "Lobster" who experienced the premiere frenzy yesterday, all ten comments appeared on the stage. There is no shortage of one, which proves that the film is "not to be missed". Evaluation, given his own feelings in Cannes's four-star scoring system.

Italy’s “Daily Fact”, two stars, “Excellent concept and stunning shots, but the finished product is still incomplete.”

In further detailed comments, the Italian media said, “Ogs-Lensimos does have a master atmosphere at the form level, but the core under the surface of the form is messy and simple. Lan Li- Hall, Rachel, Weisz and other actors performed very well, but they still haven’t been able to give the film more content than the form. The same subject matter would be if it were filmed by David Fincher effect?"

Russia’s "Medusa", one star, "The empty form, rigid performance, and absurd atmosphere do create enough black humor, even enough to be hilarious; but how exaggerated the laughter is, how empty the content is. , Those outstanding forms more and more bring out the emptiness of the whole movie, just like the emperor’s new clothes."

In their one-sentence commentary, they said, "Gags are higher than essential works. It doesn't matter if you look at them."

Between the lines, you can clearly feel the depression of the Italian and Russian media. Obviously, the disappointing ending was ushered in with high expectations.

Lan Li finished reading softly, but the smile between his eyebrows slowly penetrated, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: This evaluation is completely expected, and strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as an attack. On the contrary, Lan Li's initial treatment of "lobster" The look and feel of this work is somewhat similar. Obviously they all expected more, but they only got a "start." Oggs left all the thinking space to the audience, which is really disappointing.

But it is also the effect that Oggs really hopes to achieve. As for whether it is satisfied or not, it can only be said that different people have different opinions.

"I think the criticism will be more violent." Lan Li said with interest.

Bradley couldn't help but chuckle, "How to explain?"

"You know, when we promoted'detachment' in Berlin, praise and criticism were polarized. In fact, Tony and I are very happy that the film has received such comments. Because the emotions of like and disgust have reached the extreme, this also shows our The works can really arouse the feelings of the audience, rather than the sixty-point works that are forgotten after they have been seen." Lan Li's vivid explanation is instantly clear.

Gavin couldn't help but asked curiously, "You mean, compared to a 60-point movie, a very movie is more worthy of celebration?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Lan Li nodded in affirmation without hesitation.

Bradley and Gavin both fell silent, carefully recalling the deep meaning of Lan Li's words, but the two reporters had their own unique interpretations. This was also a very wonderful moment.

Obviously, "Lobster" is absolutely impossible to win French media praise like the "Drunk Country Folk Song" two years ago. The evaluation of the official journal can be seen as a section of the discussion frenzy, showing different gaps between different audiences. Everyone holds a different point of view.

Russia’s “Medusa” only gave one star. Such an extreme and such a determined attitude is like a reporter who slammed the door at the premiere. After all, it is still a minority; it seems to have a full score of four stars. The media is the same: few, only two.

The "Los Angeles Times" of the United States, four stars, "mechanical cold, rigid movements, and emotional soundtracks, which eventually converge into a wonderful and wonderful comedy. The right performance lights up the whole work and guides it step by step. The audience walked out of the cinema with their brains full of question marks. Undoubtedly the best of the year!"

French "Le Figaro", four stars, "Weird, fresh, cold, humorous. Ougs Lansmos once again successfully established a set of his own unique dystopian social logic, which points to contemporary social relations everywhere. Definition, and the narrative trend based on love reveals a kind of tenderness and cruelty, which makes people applaud!"

List the highest and lowest scores separately, and you can immediately discover many interesting little details:

One, two four-stars and one one-star, the two extreme ratings are in the minority after all. There are a total of ten media included in the show, which accounts for 30% of the total.

Second, the media with the highest ratings are from France and the United States, with the latter being the Los Angeles media; the media with the lowest ratings are from Russia. It is true that the regional influence is still relatively weak. After all, the major media send a representative to score. Personal subjective factors have obvious influence, but they can more or less explain some things.

Third, the focus of the four-star and the one-star are actually the same: the stylized narrative mode and the image atmosphere, the four-star call it "excellent comedy", the one-star call it "empty and nothing", likes and hates They all revolved around the same thing, further confirming the role of individual subjective factors.

This also shows that "Lobster" is an author's movie similar to "detachment", the same content and elements, as many people like it, as many people hate it.

However, the author's style of "Lobster" is far from being as bold and adventurous as Tony Kaye, and the feeling of being "stinged" is not so much.

In addition to the highest and lowest scores, the other seven media all gave relatively moderate two stars or three stars. Either neutral prefers a little or neutral hates a little. Such an ambiguous posture has become the main theme of the official journal, continuing The state after the premiere ended yesterday.

Among them, four Samsung.

American "Time", Samsung, "The clever collision and fusion of different elements brings a unique viewing experience; but at the same time it is also disruptive and interruptive, even a little hollow and nothing. This may be a blue gift. -The most obvious and weakest time in Hall acting out of the director's mind. But it's not his fault."

France’s La Liberty, Samsung, “Most of the time in the movie, there is an uncomfortable weirdness, the strong feeling of goose bumps rising up and rolling in the stomach; but the'lobster' still successfully shows the Lance Moss's reflection on postmodern social relations, the narrative style drifting between humor and ridicule, undoubtedly brings the audience a more interesting reflection space. Those questions are precisely the successes. The natural performance is still a highlight. , Lanly-Hall’s light easily stands out, every minute and every second is a pleasant enjoyment."

British "Sight and Listening", Samsung, "Lance Moss got rid of his comfort zone a little bit~www.novelhall.com~ Less pessimistic and more playful black humor style makes the viewing process no longer the same.' Dogya's general suffering, but Lansmoss still managed to find a perfect balance for the film. Excellent audio-visual language and rigid performance style complement each other, the whole audience held abdomen several times and the reflection frenzy after the end once again proved Lan Li -Hall’s perfect adaptation."

Thailand’s “Bangkok Post”, Samsung, “Lance Moss broke his boundaries, made bolder attempts in the social and cultural framework, and finally constructed a weird and wonderful black comedy. A large number of ritualized empty forms will undoubtedly challenge the audience's bottom line; but the soundtrack and editing give the work a richer layer and make watching the movie more enjoyable. The performance is undoubtedly a pleasing existence."

Reading these reviews carefully, you can find that either it is full praise, but the score is still only Samsung; or it is Samsung evaluation, but a lot of faults have been picked out in the elaboration. This paradoxical review method just shows The conflict in the minds of every film critic.

It's not that I don't like it, but I can't say I like it. The whole feeling is very unique.

In fact, the same is true among the other three two-star reviews, but compared to the “Samsung Review”, the “two-star review” still seems to have the upper hand by dislike.
