Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
给我气笑了，明星制作班底最后搞出来一个新海诚风格的作品——画面精美，剧情只有少男少女莫名爱得轰轰烈烈，其它啥也不是。老虚应该很不想在这部作品的脚本上冠名吧…
画面真是不错。故事不行。
我这种没心没肺的老油条，居然看哭了，尤其是浴室大小便完全失禁那场。看完时，直接把此片捧作迈克尔哈内克的《爱》，但冷静想想，当然远不至于。差距当然就是视点太多的问题，女儿的，男友的，老妈的，但我完全接受这种有意无意破坏电影制作规矩的“意外”。每个视点都有其存在道理。觉得多余的，只有女主闺蜜那些家庭办公室琐事。另外，结尾的情绪扬抑没处理到最好，总希望是悲伤到极点时，照进点希望，如白事铺伙计说的，“死亡不过是进入更高的一个阶段”
作画和视觉特效都很好，但故事没说好，可惜了
唯一能夸的画面甚至都不是我喜欢的画风... 除了流畅真的一无是处... 好像没有世界观也没有什么大格局 海的女儿现代版 bye
【平遥电影节展映】世界首映。阿兹海默症题材。讨论了“病人的尊严和死亡的尊严”的严肃命题。医院急救室外的长镜头唤起我曾经在医院的见闻，真实而残酷。虚实莫辨的拍球男孩是很有灵气的点睛之笔。可惜缺点同样很多。饰演母亲的演员表演用力过猛，不如父亲演员表演自然。年轻演员仍有很大进步空间。前半部剪辑转场较为生硬，婚礼、浴室、公园等桥段有明显的刻意感。克制与煽情并存。结尾意味不明。以及，与《小事儿》不约而同地，回忆中的高中教室墙上又出现了“核心价值观”。两星半
我焯，这不就是天气之子么，老虚已经堕落到要抄诚哥的剧本了么！另外我终于知道为什么该片吃吃不公布女声优，原来是因为女主根本不需要说话，好家伙我直接好家伙！
以后一定要补文学积累！！！
想讲的东西太多了，最终只能隔靴挠痒。（请新人导演先好好讲故事，别总想着魔幻现实主义，真的大可不必
三星半，比好多看着文艺范儿十足但莫名其妙的片子好多了。起码很踏实认真地讲了一个故事，塑造出几个很鲜活的形象。影片是关于阿兹海默症的（不止于此），前面半小时比较中规中矩，像一个传统的家庭亲情影片，略显老套。不过剧情很扎实，演员非常到位，令人感到真切可信！后半段开始加入进幻想的场景，让影片一下丰富灵动起来——快到结尾的地府一瞥和女主站在满是水洼的旧房子里，意象出人意料且值得玩味。影片对死亡的认识理解还可以做得更深，不过已经是让人可以唏嘘回味的作品了。
导演处女作。
开头不介绍一下世界观，一言不合就跑酷，看的有些莫名其妙
感情的表达和交流显得生硬
花三块钱看了一场华丽的纯爱泡泡雨～～～～～
世界就是不断的聚合，爆炸，螺旋。我想既然是螺旋，我们总有一天还会再见的吧
对于有一个阿兹海默症的家属来说 真的很有带入感 太好哭了
阿尔茨海默症题材的电影，人的尊严和疾病之间的碰撞。几组长镜头很好，夏天和秦牧家里几场戏的镜头调度很好，多人在不大的家庭空间中交换位置、交谈和摩擦，如同人生病之后的被禁锢。玩球的小男孩有虚有实，结尾是致敬塔可夫斯基吗？整体老夫妇演得好，游泳馆和路过小公园的烟雾戏有点怪，有些小细节能更好：为什么老人说方言、年轻人说的却是普通话？母亲的爆发戏来的有点突然，夏天家里不走却滴答响的闹钟表意不太足，十几年前鬼冢虎就进入中国了？因为疫情导演没能到场，录制的视频只有打招呼、太少了点。
我真的服了，这样的作画，这样的设定，这样的投资，怎么能搞出个这样的剧情，真的服了，我好恨啊，不会老虚就写完设定就跑了吧
6 典型青年导演作品（关注特殊群体+魔幻现实风格）但比《乌海》好看太多了 至少不做作 很真诚 问题是太啰嗦 塞进的东西太多了
很高兴能够看到如此真诚的山西电影。扎实的影像语言，走入生活现实的细节设计，熟悉的太原话，生活喜悦与悲苦最本真的模样跃然银幕。女主夏天面对的困境是我们每一个人都逃不掉的，承受压力并且希望找寻释放的出口，或是彻底崩溃与迷失……有时在想，如果未来提及山西电影的发展还停留在贾樟柯或是曾受“山药蛋派”影响的农村题材电影，而再无新鲜血液的注入，那么很难再看到山西电影发展的希望。愿《来处是归途》是一个开始❤作为老乡，要多加一星⭐
