Clouds in Her Room won the Golden Tiger Award at Rotterdam Film Festival. How about this movie?

Lu Zheng Xinyuan's amazing low-budget movie has a confusing name "Clouds in Her Room". This film won the Golden Tiger Award, the highest prize in Rotterdam International Film Festival. This kind of slow-fire realism with oriental characteristics and European art film style works make the two perfectly integrated in the cloud.

The photographer of this film is Matthias from Belgium? Delvaux, whose works are soft and neutral, is often more white and less black. Beautiful and straightforward sex scenes, limbs intertwined, skin color rotating, and occasionally turning black. If the prominence of personality is strong enough to be compared with the director's ambition for the first film, then the way of story telling will be fully exerted by the photographer, not to mention the photographer is much more famous than the director.

The clouds in her room are hard to describe in words, except for some amazing experiences. Mu Zi (Jin Jing), a 22-year-old student, returned to his hometown, and his divorced parents found a new lover. Mu Zi's photographer boyfriend secretly followed her here, and Mu Zi was attracted by the local bar owner.

There are interviews with characters in the film, similar to documentaries. This simple design background music is Zeng's surreal works. In order to reflect the authenticity and live voice, Mu Zi's half-sister trained after class, and the children learned to pose like runway models. Mu Zi and her best friend passed abandoned buildings, which looked like prehistoric caves. Mu Zi quarreled with her boyfriend, who said she was pregnant with his child. Such a scene becomes a surreal outline in the passage of the background.

The state of urban architecture also reflects Mu Zi's melancholy psychological state. Traffic and buildings distort themselves in the flow. This disordered state clearly recalls Mu Zi's childhood apartment. Although it no longer exists, it is still her father's asset. When she came to this small room alone, or later with her boyfriend, the atmosphere of omission was obvious. When she tried to open the window, the whole window frame fell down.

The sudden moments in these plots, falling windows, sexual scenes, discussions in bars, the dispute between mother and daughter after KTV singing, and the translucent emotions have real collisions, which make the clouds in her room vivid and real and will not flow into irrelevant details. In other words, the driving force of these details keeps the film from flowing indefinitely and makes the audience feel thrilling for an instant.

Accidental and experimental, bright and lazy, The Cloud in Her Room adheres to this artistic standard from beginning to end. It doesn't seem to be over yet. On the way after you watched it, all the scenes in those movies seemed to come out with you. In case someone pats you on the shoulder, please don't respond positively first, and observe his next move.

I wonder if Mu Zi realizes that he has become a parasite in Hangzhou. Whether or when the film will be shown in China is unknown. Allies who like art movies should not miss it.
