Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
光影摄影，场面调度，灯光走位牛到爆炸！看片的时候一直在要是能在大银幕欣赏这片儿是不是视觉感官就爽爆了！我的丹泽尔华盛顿依旧演技爆棚，台词拽哦！这一届奥斯卡男主是不是没跑了!!!静待3月颁奖。Ps：默默拿出沙翁的《麦克白》复习一下
表现主义的重现契合麦克白暴君性的一面，可电影的优点也仅限于此。
奥斯卡导演加影帝影后的卡司配置，4:3极简黑白的高对比度风格，配上经典的剧作和台词，呈现出了一个最新的电影改编，从我的观感来看是要优于西区故事的（虽说两部的原作我从没看过🤐）可能我倾向于最佳艺术指导给这部作品。剧本嘛，回来让孩子给我讲讲，毕竟哈姆雷特他都读过，也推荐给喜欢舞台剧的大家😙
删繁就简，打造了神秘的史诗，黑白影像展现了光影艺术。丹泽尔与科恩嫂都不错，唯独故事弱了点。
把戏剧搬入电影
科恩兄弟第一次分开指导的作品。哥哥的美学造诣没得说，但很难讲这是不是以牺牲了部分叙事达到的效果。原来的剧本足够经典，但这部电影依然很好的阐释了戏剧和电影并非矛盾冲突对立的关系。life but a walking shadow.
尽管我确实是一个痴迷于风格化电影语言的人，但乔尔科恩这部转型之作实在难称满意，丹泽尔华盛顿和McDormand的表演确实很好，但在这种稠密层叠的黑白光影和A24画幅下，这两位老熟人实在难以搭建一场信服感强烈的莎翁对手戏。而剧本对于原文台词的保留，与通篇浓郁的后现代解构意味和极简置景之间，并没有做到气质上的想通，以至于全片浓郁的当代戏剧感完全压过了电影感，也许他希望观众从中能看到德莱叶，看到伯格曼，但很遗憾我实在做不到。
4:3黑白、打光，这都像黑泽明的电影元素。虽然不同场景间剪辑衔接地很巧妙，但大段自言自语舞台剧风格的电影真让我受不了，20分钟弃剧。
觉得很高大上的表演，然而不好看。。。。无论是情节还是单调枯糙的背景，当然，还是能看的。
是一部极致的影像化戏剧，美感都建立在影像技术升华的戏剧形式上，而精彩的戏剧化电影应该是黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》。
一言难尽，但作为麦克白电影演绎的比法鲨那版好。
从表演到视听语言，好到无可挑剔，居然只有7.2分。
挺好的改编，忠实原著，舞台化的处理，朴实。配乐也很正统。
黑白摄影凸显中世纪苏格兰的荒芜冷峻，窄画幅在逼仄的空间里营造压迫感，烟雾光影和声效运用赋予鬼魅、折射人物心理变化，棚搭布景和建筑几何线条构图呈现极简美学艺术，精致古典的文学念白以及毫不遮掩的表演痕迹，都像专门为贴近舞台剧形式所特意设计。这部耳熟能详的经典剧作曾被无数次搬上荧幕，故事情节早已人尽皆知，单飞后的科恩并没有如预想中那样大刀阔斧另辟蹊径，而是带来一版极其内敛保守的翻拍，叙事结构完全忠实原著，绝大部分台词原封不动复刻，在陈旧的文本里反复提炼关于人性与宿命论的主题，固然给予观众耳目一新的视听体验，但切入角度仍过于古板，老调重弹。在黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》面前，任何莎剧改编都显得黯然失色，科恩这回多少有点被A24的风格捆住手脚，丧失了施展才华的余地，整部电影形式大于内容，一切都是可以但没必要。
m2211：又是摄影美学。莎翁的台词自不用多说。音效也很赞。
熬過前半段，後半段竟然不少能聽懂了⋯⋯黑白畫面與光影太厲害，這就是戲劇的魅力嗎
舞台劇的獨白，雖是黑白但是每幀都能感受到畫面帶來的鮮明感！每位演員的演技可以說是相當在線，整個佈景也是相當了得。
土掉牙的剧情 不过摄影 光影 布景确实是打到你服 整体风格相当冷峻 加上黑白画幅让我想起1948年的王子复仇记/以及演员的台词功底相当扎实 特别是弗兰西斯/对白的也借莎翁之力 相当“醇厚” 不过这也导致长时间聚焦在字幕上而忽略了演员的演绎/是稍微有点哲学味道在里面的：结果对行为产生影响 而行为又导致了结果 我们的欲望 我们的野心所产生的结果或后果到底是不是“命运叫我们这么做”的 难怪米兰昆德拉说历史就是一个玩笑
#Alfie 太好看了太好看了。除了极具德国表现主义风格的舞台剧布景，这个版本更注重女巫的预言力量。麦克白杀人前后的自我挣扎，尝过罪恶之后的无尽堕落和痛苦折磨，丹泽尔演得太好了。麦克道夫家的屠杀就是故事中的永久高潮。结局还是波兰斯基版本的更残暴更有力量。
没觉得有什么大的突兀 其实反映出水平的相当不错了
