French "positive" editor: Venice good quality of Chinese film

Sina Entertainment News Venice Film Festival to the end, most of the film has been shown, the awards will have their own ownership. Sina Entertainment in the Lido Island official hotel on the waterfront balcony, interviewed the "Positive" editor, the first French film critic Michelle Simon, listen to him on this film festival and the film to make a comment. He praised the affinity of the Venice Film Festival for its unique charm despite some organizational flaws.　　In addition, the overall quality of the film festival is Good, two Chinese film, have impressed him.　　The atmosphere in Venice is very good, this is no longer exist in Cannes Sina Entertainment: I see non-stop someone to your greetings, and you chat, film Festival for you, is also a friend meeting chat platform? Michelle Simon: Yes, the Venice Film Festival has a very good atmosphere, and everyone has the opportunity to meet on the waterfront platform of the official hotel, which was previously a hotel de Bain, but it was closed this year. The directors and the shadow people, even if they are famous, can be seen casually on the balcony here, greeting each other. This has not existed at the Cannes Film Festival, and it is already over. All the meetings have to be agreed beforehand, and the stars are protected by bodyguards, or hidden in the heavily guarded hotels.　　Therefore, although Venice has a variety of organizational errors, the shortcomings of late screening, this is its charm.　　Film Festival selection Too much influence efficiency Sina Entertainment: The overall impression of this year's Venice Film Festival from organizational management to selection of films? Michelle Simon: Many of the films on the film festival are not really worth appearing. The schedule is too tight, the number of films shown is too large, many of them out of the need for publicity. Every day you will hesitate to watch the film, you may see a dull film, and then miss another good movie. Today's film festivals are not as rigorous as they used to be, for political, spring, or very mysterious reasons, they have accepted too many films on display, which is a tragedy of the festival. The Venice Film Festival, on the other hand, is an important platform for the fall, with many fascinating films here.　　Many interesting films, either rejected by Cannes or missed in the schedule, will appear in Venice.　　Sina Entertainment: You just said that the film festival selected too much, not a film festival in Venice is facing problems, many film festivals are like this, and in the current context, it seems that there is no solution? Michelle Simon: I think because the film festival also has to attract the attention of the audience, so have to provide a variety of movies to meet the audience. The film cannot be screened five or six times, and the producer will not agree to it, up to two or three times. So a lot of film critics don't have a chance to see them. For example, John Turtorro, who I saw this time, Turdoro the Naples Movie Passion (Passione), and I asked all of my friends who read film critics that none of them had seen it, which was very heavy.　　It was chosen to be exhibited at the festival, but no one could see it.　　The choice is good, but it's the most important thing in Cannes.Sina Entertainment: This year's Venice Film Festival competition unit selection and Cannes Film Festival, and Venice to the previous session? Michelle Simon: I've seen a lot of pretty good movies this year, but I think the overall quality of Cannes is the most important film festival.　　I like Jez-Skolimowski's "necessary killing" at this film festival. I like it very much, and I like the French director Cossich's "The Black Venus", but I have reservations.　　Sina Entertainment: What kind of reservations? Michelle Simon: I think it's too long, it's a pity, because the story itself is very good, the theme is very powerful, directing too, but too much repetition, but lost the power. I also like the Russian film "Silent Soul", not long time, but it is a surprise.　　Ojon "puppet" I also like, this is a flash comedy, the actors are in place, the writer is very good, you know this kind of comedy is difficult to shoot.　　Two Chinese films quality Sina Entertainment: Talk about two Chinese competition films? Michelle Simon: Wang Bing's surprise movie I like, very powerful and heavy. The theme was impressive, and there was no special exhibition or escape.　　The overall background of the film, even without special emphasis, does not affect the understanding, this is not an educational film.　　"Detective Dee" and three Chichongs "Ten musketeers" I like, is the traditional martial arts sword performance, two pieces of the scene is very beautiful.　　Sina Entertainment: Is the film's great big scene attracted you, or by what extra things touched? Michelle Simon: The pretty thing itself touches you, and art aesthetics makes you feel better. This is also a kind of passion, let me think of Shakespeare's time people shooting tragedy, it is not to do psychological exploration, but tragedy, will revenge, death and other heavy themes, to the genius of the film manifestation form.　　It's pointless for me to look at the mediocre TV dramas that appear on TV every day.　　The reference value of the critic's rating Sina Entertainment: I saw the films you named just now add up, already close to the film festival half of the number of films, it can be said that the quality of the selection of the film you are very satisfied with it? Michelle Simon: Yes, half the movies are good.　　However, the other half of the level is not enough.　　Sina Entertainment: I saw you in the film festival on the score, you think it is the credibility of how many? Michelle Simon: Yes, I also score on it. The fact is that a total of 20 film critics have scored on it, giving a general idea of what the film received. Today, France's World newspaper said that "Venus" at the Venice Film Festival to make people deeply shaken. In fact, it is not so, you see after the scene, know that the scene is not the case at all. A lot of people don't like films.　　They're lying.　　Sina Entertainment: Should be cautious about media coverage? Michelle Simon: Be cautious, they are at least not the people who hold the microphone on the street, they are the real critics, but they exert media pressure on the film. I can't say they don't have the truth, but at least it's the truth they think,is not an objective truth. Sina Entertainment Venice report (Liu)
