Lekce Faust (1994)
There are always such stage properties and feelings
This is my favorite one within the 4 works I have seen, which are Little Oik, Conspirations of Pleasure and Alice in different times. Every time, I saw Svankmajer's work, I was a bit shocked and excited.
And I can always see marionettes, tongue, biting food, juice, repeat (which quite annoying, cos the repeat is beyond the limit you can bear). Like the clown read spell to control the movement of the devil again and again, same thing happened in Alice.
I found Svankmajer like whipping, like close-up shots of the scene when people biting food.
I broke laughter when Faust had sex with the female marionettes and found she was the devil in disguise.
I think Frust will be much better if more conversations are deleted and some plots are cut. Cos people with patience like me are so few.
In conclusion, it is a nightmarish marionette movie for children but a funny one for adults, isn't it? hehe
La petite voleuse (1988)
I am a bit envious of her
The young little thief always follow her desires.. Movies, adult clothes, losing virginity, man. It's so sexy when she change her common shoes for students into high heels..
We pity her cos her family background and her mum left her, we hate her cos she stole things with no shame and I am envious of her cos she is so true and honest, she do whatever she wants. On the opposite of most hypocritical people, she is the most free bird.
Actually, she is such an adorable and innocent girl with low and shy voice. It's easy to find employer, sugar daddy, boy friend and real good friend. But she still chose the way to hell. Why? I guess it's more easy to choose the old and bad habit which you were addicted to.
Life is wise, when it brings temptation, it also brings test.
