It was already fifteen years after I first saw the movie. It wasn't a good experience. We hid in a 50 square feet room with a 17 inch 2 in 1 television. It was the age of recording tape.
I don't remember how could my boss got the copy. The movie was not on sell. Even it was, it should be hard to find the tape because the review on showing was quiet different. General audience absolutely don't like it. It is a movie with great casts (never come twice). They didn't understand the story, the dialogue are in pieces, the scenes are in pieces. They thought the movie is priggery. In profession review, love and hate both have supportors. My review was I felt nothing in the movie. Even have explanation from my boss. But I couldn't see the connection between the visual and the impression. My lacked cinema experience could not support me to understand.
A new director's cut come after fifteen years. It screened in cinema again.
It's complicated when I decided to watch it again. It's not an nightmare. I just not sure if I could watching deep. This time, I proud of having a big progress on my intellect.
The boundless desert scenery is enriched by dusty film processing technique. The wilderness is brought out by the strange color tune and bright contrast. Beautiful music. This is the upper scent. The mystery relations are needed to figure between the dialogue and scenes is middle layer. Characters' humanity and behavior on jealous and self withhold/ protection in one thought is main cord.
When you are really jealous and angry, make a decision to hurt the other, to win over the other. After years, you sudden realized you are the big loser. Because you won nothing. You were alone when you were in blossom times. You tried to punish that one, however you also the whom is being punished.
Quiet moment contained intense emotion. Repeating behavior hidden the urge of the desire. Everyone are in the edge of explosion. The carefree faces covered the boiling heart. When the capricious was fighting off and realization of own sensibility is shown. The pain is left in heart so deep. Can we catch it before regret.
It's a splendid movie. The director (and writer at the same time) playing with himself. He filmed the movie for satisfying himself. It's a self-indulgence film. An only film made in own taste. Or minor audiences whom may understanding him. It's the market for general public. The field of view is killing the fresh idea. There is no such characterized movie again.
