It is a great film by a great director.Kira Muratova has never been given her due in the Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.In the "Long Good Bye" she depicts a seemingly banal story of a jealous and possessive mother (brilliantly acted by Zinaida Sharko) and her poor aloof and lonely son (the only cinematic role by the talented O. Vladimirsky). The story - which is nothing extraordinary in itself - grows into the wonderful and frightening analysis of alienation between genders and generations on the background of the even more frighteningly bleak and dehumanized Soviet reality.Kira Muratova shows the tiny details of everyday Soviet life,and, again , banal as they are ,they are a hair-raising horror.The dialogue is deliberately laconic and void of any sense, showing the ever-growing people's inability to communicate and understand each other.The sound track ( by another under-estimated talent, Oleg Karavaichuk)adds to the atmosphere of hopeless and meaningless existence.Of course,Sasha (the name of the protagonist),will leave his despotic ( but loving!) mother sooner or later, but where for?

《漫长的告别》下载观后评论:
2023 HKIFF M 68$ 4K digital remastered КПСС禁片,簡介:當代最令人驚艷卻備受忽略的女導演
鏡頭語言與調度是一流水平,技巧高超的菲林時代跳切剪接,1971變焦與聚焦的運用就已經那麼純熟了?還是Kira Muratova獨有的天材觸覺?
Sasha跟表姐(?)撫摸狗勾的段落曖昧氛圍絕妙,話嘮媽媽與沉默兒子,顯然可見的緊密-疏離、凝滯-流動、外向-內向二元對立,在日常遊蕩中穿插兒子企圖離開單親媽媽尋父的敘事,抹除聚焦鏡頭的紀律透過去大幅度延展,使觀眾得以內視兩位主要角色的心理空間,母子背對背坐火車、兩手摸狗、媽媽被上司無視、郵局拜託偷信、咖啡館鸚鵡、劇場鬧事都感受明確的彼此之間的頓困、精神傷口、溝通障礙
hkiff M :部分段落很有意思也挺有想法,但整体还是有点闷,特别是下午两点的场次稍微有点煎熬。摄影很有意思,大量的前景遮挡和非中心构图,特别是开场的墓园和最后在房间里左侧摇椅慢慢停下,右侧母子告别说那只鹦鹉的段落。部分段落的三次短促重复也和母亲敏感脆弱的性格相对应,特别是最后一场演出座位被占三次执拗回头。个人比较喜欢两个人撸狗,邮局代人写信,看幻灯照片和最后脱下假发露出花白头发的段落。场景声音处理很有想法但实在是太糙了,有的段落还是诡异的完全静音。配乐上大量俄罗斯味道很足的钢琴独奏反复出现,很对我的胃口。但有不少段落从bgm铺满瞬间硬切到完全无声,有点难以理解
