In the early 20th century, is in Lobosandaus, a small town in the raia seca region, on the border between Galicia and Portugal. No sooner has the teacher, played by Tamar Novas (The Mess You Leave Behind), arrived than he senses how mystery and death naturally coexist in the everyday lives of the residents of this stark, rugged place. But the teacher, from his standpoint of rationalism and science, will be confronted by a communal belief held by the local population: that the spirits of the dead can manifest themselves and remain among the residents, as they inhabit other bodies.
这个被导演反复打磨的意象，像一枚尖锐的钢钉。当时在2018年的柏林电影节上，这头沉默的大象用四小时的影像悲鸣，导演用生命浇筑的绝望美学永远定格在电影史的天际线上。 这部浸透死亡意识的遗作，不仅仅是对加缪"真正严肃的哲学问题只有一个，自杀"的影像诠释，更是将中国县城青年的生存困境升华为存在主义困境的现代寓言。Copyright © 2020-2025 All Rights Reserved
