Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
散装家庭，本来就是硬凑。《小偷家族》是先拍成了一个家庭，大家都信了，再拆了给你看。所以残酷感挥之不去。而《掮客》硬凑感就比较强了。男二没有什么表现力啊，男二和女主，更是毫无化学反应，女主对婴儿，我也看不出纠结复杂的感情。感情都没到那份上，说“谢谢你出生”多少就有点扯了。还有就是，怎么开始上航拍了，俯瞰众生嘛这是，还是情绪起不来，就硬起。总体而言，我还是吃是枝裕和这一套，至少洗车那场戏，以及之后的互告真名，写出了水平。还是老实在日本拍片吧！
是枝裕和是在完成一部命题作文吗？怎么会如此温吞？你可是是枝裕和啊！
1.IU灾难般的演技，扁平寡淡稀薄，这部电影讨论演技是不应该的。宋康昊值得一个戛纳最佳男演员奖，可是这部电影也太一般了，你说是静水深流的表演吧我看未必。只能说是东亚家庭道德困境的故事，应该从家庭的圆满想象中，转变为对每一个人的圆满爱护。
是枝揉杂了公路、犯罪、爱情多种元素，结果落脚点还是放在了家庭。和《小偷家族》一样是无血缘关系的家族，但是写得太糖水了。不是说这种全员善人的故事不能写，但是他们的“善”没有根基，群像下部分人物形象没能很好地立起来，感觉做成部剧集会更合理。iu也不够像个少女妈妈，有时有点儿意思，但更多的时候神态里缺少这个角色应有的经历。
作為是枝的電影應該是後段那檔。依然是細膩的，演員們也恰如其分，包括電影新秀的李知恩。宋康昊演這角色可說是信手捻來了吧。但整體有如一個童話繪本，用過度溫情的畫筆掩蓋了現實斑駁的底色...剛好最近美國墮胎權議題沸騰，這部片看著也是有點尷尬，我想，他大概是太理想主義了吧...謝謝你的出生，但沒有羽星幸運的那些被拋棄的孩子願意經歷這些嗎?
3.5 看完即忘的电影，故事和视听上都没什么惊喜，唯一能夸的还是导演选小孩演员的眼光吧。0.5星给制作。@cityplaza
因為是是枝裕和所以只能兩顆星，李知恩的角色不就是《我的大叔》李至安2.0😅？是枝裕和以往在電影留給演員們的「得獎場」也沒有了，比如《小偷家族》的安藤櫻、《橫山家之味》夏川結衣，恬淡使人歲月靜好的空鏡頭也都沒有了！慟！
这一次是枝裕和失去了缓缓流淌和直戳心底的温暖，只剩下了刻意，有点失望。唯一的亮点是裴斗娜，可惜戏份也太少了。
我已经不是适合看是枝裕和的心境了，但还是欣赏他大而化简。
凌晨3点20，所有的气息都美翻天，摩天轮疯狂截屏
戛纳电影节影片陆续陆续放出，不过，不管是柯南伯格还是是枝裕和，都过了高峰期，是枝裕和不同点在于:叙事能力一直不是是枝裕和的长项，是枝裕和那几部代表作，编剧显然有神助攻的作用。是枝裕和的长项也是日本的一脉传统:情感白描。
还是是枝裕和熟悉的风格，不过把相同的内容换上一个韩国外壳就显得很别扭了。IU完全无法胜任是枝裕和女主角一职。
私心加一星吧，还是挺喜欢的。是枝裕和自从拿金棕榈后就沉迷于拍外语片，依旧把玩着过去拍日片的风格，却没什么突破，塑造畸形家庭这个主题翻来覆去的讲也拍不出新的花样了，二流剧本仿佛不是本人所写碎得可怜，流动性太差。演员表现都可以，黑暗中吐露新声也是加分所在。
是枝裕和的风格，寡淡如水，却又有很强的张力，关键台词调动情绪。小偷家族的路数很明显。iu演得真好。
然后又轻描淡写地把一切残酷都粉饰得美好
一星给温情的守护，虽然一开始的目的大家都是很好，但是相处多日后就像一个家庭一样，为了孩子幸福而战，说明人间还是有真情。一星给康浩大叔的演技，真心又亲民又传神，就像人物就是他一样。也许这人世间有很多伤害止于原谅和宽恕
跟达内一样，研究出了一套独特的讲故事的方法，之后的片子就可劲儿都这么拍。可惜的是，不仅是形式，连探讨都主题变化都不大。
是枝裕和：去外国电影市场炒一遍本土已经炒不下去的冷饭✅
三星半 有体系 但大部分时候不是我的菜 纯为IU和裴斗娜观影动力 但裴斗娜大部分时候工具性太强 人物设定太偷懒
