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.
这个片子满脸都写着是新导演，过分的特写，乱序的时空剪辑，几个女人之间理应意味深长但是奇怪的对应关系，含蓄到不明就里的对话，试图使用但是弄巧成拙的意象运用，excessive的音乐，导演几乎是在screaming看我多懂电影，但是重要的事情都没有做到，整个片子基本的框架是散的，以至于她所有的努力就是try too hard.虽然主题是重要且nuanced的，但这个贡献也在原著，不在电影。
The Lost Mother.
除了女主演技，导演和剧本没想到是出演《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士》的玛吉吉伦哈尔。剧本野心不小，平衡得也不错。
细腻克制，nina最后那针太狠了。elena的作品都是互为映像的。
someone chooses to be a mother someone just becomes a mother. if she knows then will she let herself become an unnatural mother? olivia colmon’s performance is so natural. 感谢我妈不抛弃之恩。
与男性不同，女性对于情感的负担更重，“母亲”这个身份折磨束缚着女性，煎熬的母亲们！
其实可以再剪掉十几分钟，作为处女座，很不错了，看完就一个感受，一个女性一旦成为母亲，身上就被套了永久的枷锁，达妹这个角色感觉处理的不是特别好。
坞有才女！好几个镜头可以感受到身体的抽搐和心灵的痉挛！
由单一角色内心外化的完全女性主义的影像
Olivia女神！服裝不知道是不是她自己的，每一套都很好看，貼合本人/ Alba Rohrwacher怎麼腫得跟氣球一樣/ 期待Maggie Gyllenhaal更多導演作品！/Maggie選角：跟老公Peter Sarsgaard做愛時說“誒，你活兒不錯，要不要在我電影裡演？”於是教授誕生> 0 <
很压抑的片子，在希腊本该阳光明媚的海滩上，却有着一个悲伤的故事。女主有自己的事业，想要追求学术，可两个女儿的存在却抑制了她的追求，吵闹捣乱，就像今天在窗外的这些熊孩子，让人心烦意乱，无心做任何事情。女主选择了离家出走，这是一个大胆的选择，抛弃了孩子，从传统视角看放弃母职简直离经叛道，这个选择是正确的吗？显然她也不知道，在海滩上，看着年轻的米娜她就像看到了自己，同样拿孩子一筹莫展，同样在他处寻求解脱（科尔曼和米娜情人的暧昧也是类似关系的投射）。女主走不出了，她固然曾经得到过她想要的，可也背负着沉重的负担，对孩子的爱阻碍了她寻找真的自己，可她又无法彻底和她们切断关系，lost的是女儿，也是她自己。为什么女性就一定要背负这种压力，男性似乎就可以潇洒的离开，还是那句话，没有想好就不要生孩子。
确实很费兰特，关注女性个体经验，这次是母亲在个人情感所求和对孩子的爱之间的摇摆，很多主观镜头帮助观众走进内心世界。我还发现费兰特真的很喜欢海滩度假，也许是某种童年回忆吧。
节奏挺好，直面女性的困境、欲望和孤独。以为同为女性可以互相理解，获得的不过是刺入身体的帽针。如果没有造成不可挽回的结果，不明白女主何苦这样多歉疚，给自己太多枷锁…
她好像终于原谅了自己。可当时如果不逃离那个环境，就再没机会拥有自己的人生了。
处女作如此惊艳离不开原著小说埃莱娜费兰特对女性内心世界的深度理解 故事并不复杂 在穿插回忆中与故事的融合在影后科尔曼极为深邃的演技中体会到了令人窒息的奔溃感 自我挣扎和否定 社会对一切众生似乎都有标签 既定或自由都有着高昂的代价
3.5需要看到更多从女性视角展开的真实的处境 而非男性视角下的幻想的投射的作品 . 但作为电影 感觉完成度不高.
NYFF59 沉浸式的母职体验让人透不过气
女性的导演的作品，我总是难以扑捉其中那些情绪，让我特别遗憾
不太确定导演是否知道自己要什么。和拉扎罗用同一个摄影，和兰斯莫斯的宠爱/normalpeople用同样的演员，如此强大的处女作阵容，制作出来如此散碎的叙事，实在让人难以啃下这块资本的蛋糕。无处不在的扰人配乐，为沉重而沉重，为压抑而压抑，女性力量不是抱怨谴责或娇嗔，我们有我们不依附于男权中心社会的活法。
后半部分一直在想，两位母亲的特征和她们的相处方式简直像是青年莉拉遇见中年艾莱娜，看到片尾惊讶地发现竟然真的是改编自艾莱娜·费兰特的同名小说！这样一来，玛吉演员转导演好像也没做明白瞬间变得不重要了，毕竟自省如费兰特，在写作时都脱离不了自我重复。
