剧情介绍
An unusual road movie from South-African filmmaker Jenna Bass about friendship, female self-determination and the social power structures of a divided nation.
柏林电影节全景单元 The world of lonely, middle-age policewoman Beauty Cuba changes forever when she receives a call for help from Billy, the lost love of her life who has recently been re-arrested for murder. Beauty returns to her home town of Beaufort West, deep in the heart of the surreal landscape of the Karoo semi-desert and quickly learns that this case is not as simple as she thought. The real culprit of this accidental murder is a painfully shy young woman named Natalie who flees her small, rural town on horseback and teams up with her now pregnant childhood friend Poppie to outrun the law. Flatland is a journey of self-discovery for these three different but equally desperate women, painting a vivid and unique portrait of femininity against a hostile frontier-land and questions what it means to be a women in contemporary South Africa and the world at large.

Natalie感觉对自己的认识也不够,想要自由好像又不是,有底线好像又没有底线,从头到尾感觉她的人物性格一直傻黑甜,最后貌似有转折也是强行转。在南非的同学的推荐下一起去看的,看前面部分我都在想这演的什么啊,就只能说拍的景色的一些镜头还比较美了,貌似导演是摄影师来的?海报倒是蛮好看看完出来还要违心的和大家表扬这部电影,他们都觉得很好,可能文化差异?观于瑞典电影节,椅背太低脖子快断掉

4/10 南非的电影水平真是……导演是《肯尼亚式友谊》的编剧,另一部平庸之作。感兴趣当地人看的肥皂剧(韩剧一般的效果),但没有《Felicite》里面金沙萨的电视剧看起来富有想象力,而只是简陋落后。影片开始没有立刻让我失望,但到后面是接连的繁琐拖沓的故事线,警察的部分很出戏,她和犯人之间的感情显得假,Poppie的trashy形象很眼熟。当地的艰难境况:种族歧视、性别歧视、家暴、官员腐败、未成年人怀孕、教育问题…… 看着就充满挑战。却只剩社会或政治意义。意识到伤害,say no,然后逃离开。07/18/2019
#Berlinale2019# 女性主义剥削电影,本有机会做成《金刚不坏》,但实在过于杂乱。有趣的是跟《金》类似,女性觉醒时都是一次Ride。
呕
#69th Berlinale# 全景开幕片。真TMD差出境界了,当B级片看也基本是剧情胡编乱造,人物逻辑就没有一个通顺的,更可怕的是随时要唱南非主旋律”彩虹之国“的高调,故意强加一个也不怎么说得通的国族寓言也是让人厌恶到不能忍。鹿特丹Bals基金+柏林世界电影基金+非洲女导演还有什么比这个更正确的选择……
零星。导演大抵是磕了不少药,才和发疯的角色一般,学会了满纸荒唐言。
