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.
谈不上喜欢。散、压抑。在路上是逃避，而其实人生最难的是面对，以及 放下。
被过誉了。在影像上Zhao和马利克根本没法比，马利克是有非常丰厚的影像基础来引导视听的，并且马利克的镜头是有着极强流动性和运动感的，不是说你对着个自然景观调调色然后放上极其抒情的音乐就可以的。其次这个主旨就如同白左一般，只是表面上的无病呻吟根本没有深入的内容，更像是找了一个社会议题去迎合学院派的口味，但拍着拍着发现自己深入不进去选择了一个更简单并且迎合大众的主题继续拍，一切都是精英式伪善的视角和无病呻吟。影片唯一做的不错的，是影片拍出了一种现代人的孤独感，而这种孤独感主要是科恩嫂那股气质和她演技衬托出来的，Zhao如此平庸的技艺居然能在这个时代能横扫奥斯卡，美国电影真的在走下坡路了。
有人天生创作语言的美好，挺好。
游牧民族的灵魂居住在谁身上？
电影是很主观的，如果说很喜欢的人是因为看到了自由和追求，那我只能看到孤独和悲伤…
孤独深处，苍凉的西部、公路色彩影片，这种迷茫和无依其实非常符合当下的美国社会现状。赵婷真的棒，作为外来者，能在自己的头几部长片就把握了现阶段美国精神的精髓，并且招募到如此优秀的演员和团队。Fern念的那首莎翁十四行诗恰好是我最喜爱的一首。
不得不上路的原因是，无法停止思念。——女之耽兮,不可脱也。
镜头语言太美，科恩嫂表演也是真实到无可挑剔，连看了骑士和无依之后都开始期待永恒族了！当老无所依遇上我是布莱克，自然主义和反商业房产的力度很犀利
质量不错的，但是评价是不是过誉了？老年《天涯沦落女》➕失落的美国工业之歌。里面的原声音乐有时候挺多余的
EP.11-14 《鼓屋敷篇》
lovebifan：让我想起《猜火车》里的那段经典台词，生活中就是有人不想买他妈的大电视，而选择不停地在路上，看群山，看飞鸟，looking ahead, to the day you die.
可能希望越高，失望越大。在朋友催促下，我终于分两次看完了无依之地，前半部分有点渐入佳境，到后半部分只觉得失望。时常让人出戏的bgm，总让我有种“我知道此刻我很想流泪，但这是bgm煽情的”。弗兰西斯的演技很好，但可能对她的脸太熟了，失去了一种陌生感，能很明显地感觉到她在演。而电影里的很多台词都好老套啊，大家围着篝火讲起自己的故事时，我内心警铃大鸣“美国戒酒会又开始了”。只有当弗恩毅然决然从姐妹和大爷家中离开的那些时刻，我才能有丝毫的理解和代入感——她离开人群，不是无法适应他们，而是在人群中感到孤独。看到最后，我对于她为什么选择这种生活，还是一头雾水，只能从她“说”的那些台词中推测。在这部电影里，我觉得人物是漂浮在台词上的，没有扎下根去。所以对不起，虽然我很喜欢电影里的风景，但我依然无法理解人物本身。
BEAUTIFUL！剧本、表演、摄影、音乐👍几度看到大哭，莫名触景生情。
为什么流浪
毫无疑问，它值得一看，甚至二刷。因为除开壮阔的风景，动人的配乐，真切的故事，利落的剪辑之外，很想多看几遍弄清楚它到底表达了哪些。贫穷？生活方式？追求与平静？抑或是人类这种高智商社会性动物已经彻底与自然对立了吗？另外，它也让我们实实在在体会到真实是如何震撼人心：影后已经演得那么棒了，但在真实人物面前却依然缺了几分力量。
无依，可以是无以依靠，也可以是无需依靠，希望大家都能找到适合自己的依靠方式。
游牧民族的灵魂居住在谁身上？
想看这部现象级电影很久了，刚看完忽而发觉今天是妇女节。美丽的意外。
