Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present. Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.
从观感上讲,公寓2024越往后越好看一点,不是那种开头强后面散的感觉,至少不是那种一眼劝退的类型。
本来只是随便看看,本来是看演员阵容才点开公寓2024 ,结果故事本身也不算拉胯,没什么特别硬伤。
特效制作水平低下,画面模糊不清,严重影响了观影体验。
影片中的情感线细腻而真实,让人感动不已。
可惜角色塑造流于表面,过于脸谱化,好人一味善良、坏人纯然邪恶,缺失深度挖掘,难以给人留下深刻印象。
