We are in the year 2001, a temporary ceasefire brings a much-needed break to a small war-torn village in Northern Nepal, bringing much joy among the residents. Prakash and Kiran, two young close friends, are also starting to feel the change in the air. Though they are divided by caste and social creed, they remain inseparable, and start raising a hen given to Prakash by his sister, with hopes to save money by selling her eggs. However, the hen goes missing. To find it, they embark on a journey, innocently unaware of the tyranny brought by the fragile ceasefire.
小视角切入大时代,像阿巴斯但是只像了一半,有点割裂。两处与现实互文的梦境单看还可以,但这个童真执拗的孩子在寻回心爱母鸡的路上遭遇内战的枪林弹雨的故事已经很重了,搭上梦境里的慢镜头和宗教意味,让人有点中西餐混着吃的不适感,我觉得不如做减法。补习到了一块知识盲区,不能说。
几个长镜头比较惊艳,其他都中规中矩
