Cannes photography nomination

Have you ever thought that your strict father may have been depressed for a long time?

Movie title: Holiday after sunbathing

Plot: Parent-child?

A flap 8.0 points.

Nomination for the 95th Academy Awards and Cannes.

In the late 1990s, Sophie, a girl of 1 1 years old, and her single father of 3 1 years old went to Turkey for a holiday. In Sophie's eyes, it was a perfect summer vacation. Twenty years later, when Sophie recalled that year's memento mori, the familiar father gradually emerged in the real image and imaginary memory space.

The Chinese translation of this name is still not as accurate as Sun Hou's original name.

After sun exposure, what is sun exposure? Darkness, cold and silence are uncontrollable emotions. My daughter went to bed very late at night and watched DV until 3 o'clock alone. It was a sleepless night.

I said unconsciously, "I can't even imagine that I am 40 years old and can live to be 30 years old. It's incredible." It's a complicated emotion "you still have time" when you are happy for your daughter's bright future, and it's a joke for his wife to let him talk to himself because "do you want to check my status?"

Walking into the dark sea alone in the middle of the night, ignoring the speeding car when crossing the road, covering your nose and mouth with a wet towel, or standing on the hotel railing in a very dangerous posture …

These easily overlooked details are suicide signals that my father tried to suppress.

If you don't notice these words and unusual behavior, you will think that this is an ordinary parent-child summer trip, just like Sophie at the age of 1 1. You don't expect such a sunny and humorous father. He also has a fragile, free and depressed side, and you won't find his father's hidden emotional black hole because he wants to give his daughter a perfect holiday.

In this summer, the director used DV, Polaroid, TV screen, mirror, glass and water in series to compose memento mori, so that Sophie, an adult, finally pieced together a corner of her father's sadness and collapse when traveling: she was financially strapped and could only afford to stay in a cheap hotel; Insomnia is a serious problem, which has long been plagued by mental illness; Unfortunate childhood, cold reception; Played the role of father prematurely. ..

The film also implies in a subtle way that the farewell of that festival was the last time Sophie saw her father.

Intimacy breaks the stereotype of male chauvinism and faces up to the emotional needs of men. Holiday after the Sun jumps out of the routine of father-daughter relationship, reminding us to pay attention to the spiritual and emotional problems of our loved ones. This reminds me, in the eyes of some viewers, whether the reason for my father's depression in the movie is "making a mountain out of a molehill" or "moaning without illness". After all, China's long-term neglect and prejudice against mental illness such as depression made people unable to realize that it was a disease, so they could not empathize with it. If so, it means that we really have a long way to go.
