亲亲我

　　Murayama Kaita, a Japanese painter, novelist and poet died in 1919 at the age of 22, leaving behind an impressive and time-defying body of work. In his most recent film, Sato Hisayasu offers a surreal, time-crossing, meta-layered essay on the artist, his originality and his legacy.
　　Dear Kaita Ablaze brings together a young woman Azami obsessed with Murayama's painting, a young man Saku, who can hear unusual frequencies and claims to be Murayama or his spiritual imprint and a quartet of young performers with psychic abilities. They bond over Murayama’s work which they recreate in performative dance while driving to a mysterious cave called Agartha.
　　Sato Hisayasu (The Eye's Dream, Muscle, The Bedroom), renowned for his pinku and exploration of madness and lust, returns to IFFR. Dear Kaita Ablaze is hyper-dense, obsessive and driven, effortlessly mashing surrealism with sci-fi and mysticism, layering seemingly unrelated events and encounters to bring them together in a monumental climax.

　　伊朗选送的征战2018年“奥斯卡最佳外语片”的影片。伊朗女导演纳基斯·阿贝耶执导，背景设置在70年代末伊斯兰革命与80年代初两伊战争前后，它是以小女孩视角展开的家庭情节剧，特色鲜明的角色撑起了整个故事，时代背景的介入将主线故事与伊朗社会变迁联系起来，影片结尾以及它要传达的主题便来自于家庭故事与历史背景的交汇，于是冗长的情节剧在被战争打断的那一瞬间放佛才真正有了意义
