剧情介绍
一个英国贵族为了完成自己的写作理想,与女仆一同深入欧陆的荒野中探索自然。他的心境随着这段旅途不断发生着变化。
Rampant debt and a significant midlife crisis send philosopher Edmund Burke (Antony Langdon) fleeing from London to embark on an expedition through the French Alps. He brings along a servant on loan from his brother's plantation in the West Indies, a young indigenous woman named Awak (Nathalia Acevedo from Post Tenebras Lux). Together they set out to discover the sublime in this 18th-century road movie. Ill-equipped for the outdoor life, Burke whinges the days away while Awak carries all their supplies and makes sure his face is perpetually powdered. With ample snark and a masterful sense of natural light, Jacobi constructs each scene of his debut feature with a sense of humour and a delicate frame. Will Burke find a fitting subject for his philosophical inquiry in the immensity of Mother Nature's beauty? Or will the natural world become his master in the end?
Nature does not bring any trouble, people do. IFFR Bright Future单元,有一些漂亮的与自然相弥合的场景,但由人主导的戏统统崩坏式糟糕,缺少自然声的环境里人物失去了行动的语境。
