There was a time when I treated arthouse with a noble attitude of "let aspiring directors embody free ideas," but as I accumulated a practical idea of what these films look like, attitudes toward them changed to utter hatred. Each time the arthouse looks like this: against the background of completely empty landscapes, a bunch of people hang out, almost all the time they are silent, naked lie down, light bulbs flash in the bloated rooms and someone with someone creates tin (kills, rapes, eats, turns into something, locks up in the dark or sends a boat into the ocean). No matter who the arthouse director is, no matter what he thinks about, no matter where he lives, in the end he will still shoot this kind of shit. The contents of the film - for 5 minutes, its timing is incredibly inflated.
But what annoyed me most was not the length, the twisted plot, the emptiness in every shot, but the fact that the actors were deliberately forbidden to play! For the whole film, the expression on the face of anyone appears 2 times. There are no tears, no laughter, no fear, no gestures - nothing. Absolutely all people behave as if after a lobotomy, are silent and stare dullly at one point. This is a complete lack of acting, below this is nowhere.
For those who do not understand the content, I explain:
There was a lab that used to do some weird experiments on girls. As a result, they can stay under water for a long time. It is not clear what happened, but the girls have grown up and are now doing their own experiments. Normally, they can not reproduce or do not want to, so decided to create pregnant boys. The script came to the author as her perverse fantasy about motherhood. She had to show her craving for motherhood by giving birth to children, not by making a movie about what kind of women 10-year-old boys should do.
