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.
怎么这么好看！法姬恐惧症得到了进一步地缓解。连续两周，所有的空闲几乎都在一遍遍地刷这部电影。刚看完时有很多话，好几遍下来反而感觉说什么都词不达意。最喜欢Anaïs开车那段，Anais手忙脚乱，Emilie在一旁偷笑。前有《西比勒》撞梗《烧女图》，这部无论主旨还是表达和《世界上最糟糕的人》都有重叠。(Valérie：没人比我更懂忘年恋）
2021.12.19本能与熟虑间的对话。喜欢阿娜伊斯的风风火火，步履匆匆。她的房子里，挂着普鲁斯特的小小头像。｜2022.03.05 大荧幕重温，最后无尽的吻，与对密闭电梯的接受。
女主自在，热情，总是朝欲望奔跑，对比《世界上最糟糕的人》的女主，少了迷茫，清楚自己的需要。剧情平淡，结局处理得不错。
法国女郎，黑发红唇，一袭红裙，沙滩阳光，激情洋溢，人美景美，剧情一般
觉得自己和女主做事和心态有点像 只是没有那么戏剧化 甚至在同样的年龄还有着同样的问题 同样的困惑 同样的喜好 （红裙子绝美）哈哈哈（什么时候我也能从老男人这所学校毕业？）作家加入后渐入佳境 散发着女性之美的光辉 画面和配乐都很美 仿佛更适合做成默片的感觉 我厌倦了人们费尽心思为心动找理由和在现实世界中徘徊的对话 不知道哪一天就是最后一天的我们 为什么不能更大胆的索取和给予？床戏大概是我最近看过最张力十足的 不仅有温柔 体贴 还充满了占有欲 侵略性 （甚至和基片一样要游泳哈哈哈）
女主有点像于佩尔啊
这姑娘也太闹腾了，她有她自己的一套规则，她主动，虽然看起来傻白甜但实际上知道自己想要什么。 男人应该会受不了她，但女人不一定。她以身作则示范了摆脱传统男性凝视，成为独立自主的女性的一种可能性。 她这样会很快乐，但和女作家的关系不一定会热烈持久到底。可这对她来说又算得了什么呢？我想她即便有点不够成熟，但她是那种能很好的自己处理未来生活里的问题的人，并因此成长。这是妥妥的一部Feminism电影。
提供了一个特殊的共情角度，理解了那种热烈毫无保留的荷尔蒙。可是连法国人都没给出开放关系的建设性叙事呢，女主还说这是“资本主义的那一套。”
三星半；拍的真美，人美，景美，裙子美…法国人的浪漫💕 内敛又奔放的女主，i了
这是只有在法国才能拍得这么浪漫随意的电影吧，女作家这该死的魅力
沙滩那段亲密戏很美，海浪声和喘息声交融，亲吻对方耳后的沙砾...
Anais人物性格塑造的太强了，看这个电影可以做到淡化性别，喜欢就是喜欢，不管男女。
选的两女主很合适，都演过欧容电影。选瓦莱丽确实挺妙的，charming又温柔，从阿娜伊斯看到她背影的画里开始。里面的轻音乐不错。还出现了Gena Rowlands！两女主还夸她好看！“所有人都应该在七八岁的时候读叔本华”
#Cinemania21 7/10 自由率真的年轻女孩遇见了成熟知性的女作家，女性之间的互相吸引和暧昧恰到好处。Anaïs的眼神充满着憧憬和炽热，Emilie的神情流露着怜爱与克制。理性难以打败感性，冷静难以击退热情。很喜欢沙滩和结尾的两场戏，爱欲与爱情都很美。
喜欢阿娜伊斯身上的野性和奔放，
Be in the present, thus to be carefree and soul free. 阿娜伊斯彻底活在当下，享受并索取，自由并挥霍，她不顾一切、争分夺秒，完全拥有自己的身体和心灵，如tractor一样裹挟成长道路上的一切。如智慧却脆弱的瓦莱丽所说，阿娜伊斯活在时间之外，而生活即地狱，世俗者不得不和时间讨价还价，无法自拔地被吸引，又不能免俗地离开。结尾分手戏宛如对叔本华的扬弃，有种怜我世人、忧患实多的伤感与慨叹。
看了个开头，弃了。大概今年很多剧都有同性CP，反倒贴着同性标签的看不下去了。
真是个想到什么马上就做什么的姑娘 没有一点犹豫和计划 红色短裙的热情 勇敢 大胆
阿娜伊斯 一个永远跑在路上的女孩 她的自由和勇敢让我惊讶 就像Emilie所说的 “你活在所有渴望之上”
“你身上有种羞涩和大胆的美妙融合”不愧是法国人🥺！成熟姐姐太迷人了！
