Film History: The New Generation

Mark Cousins, who once discussed the century-old film history in his masterpiece "Film History", looks back on the turbulent image revolution of the past ten years with a new work when theaters around the world are frozen due to the impact of the epidemic. Put aside the chronological narrative, and instead use jumping free association to sew random images into magical poems with flashes of inspiration. Falling asleep in Apichatpong's "Graveyard", waking up in Carax's "Holy Cars", seeing Tsai Ming-liang's VR panoramic ghost, Godard's misplaced 3D perspective, and then from the cold black and white of "Cold War", suddenly falling into the psychedelic brilliance of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"... Ten years seem to fly in an instant, the movie is beautiful and eternal. This is not only a video chronicle, but also a philosophical meditation that explores the collective consciousness of mankind. The camera simultaneously stares at empty cities and theaters under the epidemic. Between waking up and closing eyes, it leads the audience to inquire about reality and imagine the future. From these works that are still fresh in their memories, they can see themselves chasing the big screen. It is not only a sequel to the previous work, but also a memo to the next generation of movie fans.
