The main visuals, trailers, scene photos and celebrity testimonials of the film "Everything" directed by Lin Jiawei have been released.
This work is the final installment of the Kawaii Balkan trilogy, following "Nowhere and Only Here" and "Someday, Somewhere". Eva, the main character from Macau, meets film director Jay while traveling in the Balkans. Later, when the world is plunged into epidemics and wars, Jay leaves a message for Eva and then disappears. Eva travels to the Balkans again to find Jay, learns that the movie she starred in has been completed, titled "Someday, Somewhere", and also learns Jay's past and secrets. Adela So plays Eva and Shang Xuan plays Jay.
The character designer Jang Sik-gong, who is famous for the historical drama "What Happened to Ieyasu", commented, "If you lose your memory, you can get rid of the pain, but you will also lose the joy of life." "I heard this voice in the light-colored image of the poet Lam Ka Wai. Film director Toru Mariko also praised him and said, "It's impossible for anyone to be adrift all the time, so his films are always so gentle and cute." ”
I am the builder of the monument and the people around it. It is you who forgets the monuments, and it is you who is disappointed in the monuments. But those memories are not meaningless. If you lose your memory, you can escape the pain, but you will also lose the joy of life. In the poet Lin Jiawei's light ***, such a voice can be heard.
Director Lam Ka-wai said, "This is a cyberpunk love suspense drama", but it is completely different. It is an epic about past and future, loneliness and encounter, creation and everyday life, love and hate, war and peace, life and death, intersecting in the Balkan landscape. It is a delicate film that does not talk too much about such a grand theme, but tells everything through images.
* A film about the Balkans with a bland progression, and you'll forget where you are. It's funny and modest in a way, but ambitious and serious, and maybe not everyone will agree with it. Despite this, Lin Jiawei still risked his life to make movies. Cinema is his way of life. There is no place where it is impossible for anyone to continue rafting. That's why his films are always so gentle and cute.
It takes viewers on a surreal road trip through the Balkans, culminating in an otherworldly destination. Lim Ka Wai is a talent worth seeing.
Lim Ka Wai never stops trying new things. He is perhaps the only Asian filmmaker who regularly shoots in the Balkans. Everywhere explores the harsh historical memories of the war and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the tragic reality of the coronavirus pandemic, the adventurous surprises of road trips, and the eerie stories of using real monuments. It's a unique fantasy. Improvisational, mysterious, sad, hilarious!No other story is as engaging and original as this one!
