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.
虽然佩内洛普·克鲁兹演得很出色，但这剧情未免也太狗血了一些。
现在流行反派角色0 back story是吧…
我是看到了很多奢侈品品牌植入么？色彩用的太好，看到每个场景都想酌一杯，难怪是电影美术们截图的重灾区。
阿莫多瓦式的烂尾 能不能别瞎挖个一半历史遗留问题一半多角狗血恋的坑然后又草草结束了 真的看够了受够了
看阿莫多瓦做连接历史和人间情事的新尝试并且取得不小的成功实在是太有趣了 纵然不完美 但是无论视角、观点还是情怀都让人仰视
3.5 尽管题目太大，但色彩、构图、配乐永远不会错。
两星全是给佩内洛普的。至于故事，很多情节都不和逻辑，比如：发现不是自己的孩子的第一反应难道不应该是赶紧找自己的孩子吗，或者说如果第一时间去找，孩子或许不会是那样的结果。其次，孩子抱错和挖坑有什么关系？更不要说les情结发生的莫名其妙，然后不了了之。
难得唐唐推荐好片，不过伊桑霍克太拼了，近几年接了好多冷门片
镜头语言和配乐很有阿莫多瓦一贯的风格，在叙事过程中传递女性主义和人文主义的元素也让电影探讨的维度有所上升。但电影的两部分剧情有些割裂，强行合在一起并不连贯。孩子的逝去让她需要情感发泄的窗口，现实中的生活又让她学会坚强。乱葬岗上的骸骨背后是多少家庭的生死离别，每一段残忍的历史都应当在现在和未来不断反思。
75/100 有不少过于机械的情节，但Janis商品摄影师的身份及其产生的引导比较有趣，同样是通过照片图像进行考古，奢侈品或模特广告图似乎是瞬时的，但持摄影机的人在某个瞬间总会被唤起一种意识，即对历史和记忆的求真：且大家对历史是既知的，要做的只不过是去承认既定的历史，而重点不在挖掘，毕竟每个人都知道冲突曾经的存在，西班牙祖国只不过是那些不同的母亲而已。
差一点就拍到了点什么，然而被电影节产品的思维惯性彻底摧毁。
在我目前的概念里，阿莫多瓦的“好看”仍然是独一份的。可能再没有导演会这样拍女人，拍奇情，拍电视剧质感的狗血情节剧，也没有演员能像Penélope Cruz那样动人。
印象最深的除了结尾，还有女主角Janis和Ana的一些对话，Ana纠结于吃醋和情爱，觉得Janis太关注乱葬坑和旧伤疤，Janis则说“看来你的家庭没有人跟你解释过这个国家的历史”，随后告知真相。类似对话在我们周围发生了太多太多。所以，影片看似有两条过度分裂的线，实际合一并行，一条告诉我们当下是什么，一条为我们探索历史是什么，它们就像DNA盘旋延伸，是在说我们的历史对当下的我们意味着什么。删掉了，掩埋了，历史和伤疤就不存在了？国家就能有未来了？阿莫多瓦说不，并收敛了少许他的风格。可惜这部电影今年没有收到它该有的关注和解读。
表演和剪辑都很好，但整体上故事层面的两条线索各说各的很奇怪。70
在没有看之前我以为这部电影是讲的“母亲”这个身份对女性的桎梏，看完发现还是低估了阿莫多瓦，他不会拍一个烂大街的题材。村子挖掘和两个母亲的交集构成互文的两条线索，到结局串联到一起。一个是找孩子，一个是找家人，家庭的母题，放到任何国家背景下都是相通的，再加上中间夹杂着的各种抓马和奇情，节奏拉得飞快，看完会想到阿莫多瓦多年以前的老片《关于我母亲的一切》，拍女性，果然是阿莫多瓦的擅长啊。
戏剧性不够强，又要讲历史又要讲友谊/爱情/母爱。居然就这样让她把孩子拿走了。
片中好多桥段屡屡想让人鼓掌，太让人热泪盈眶了，什么是真的凝视，什么是女性主义。不管是镜头运用，还是色彩构图，独属于阿莫多瓦的色彩和电影，红是热情浪漫，黄是靓丽积极明亮……女性在追问历史探寻真相。阿莫多瓦的视野这次异常开阔，朝向那个国家的历史纵深处，挖掘真相，历史是具体的个人，记忆像照片一样在未亡人的脑海里，讲述里，下一代的生命里。真正的以小见大。五星
四星支持我阿。借用赵老师的话：“我阿已经不是当年那个我阿了 但是 我永远爱我阿”举重若轻地将宏大的历史与情节剧并置，尽管略有诡异，但是潘潘的表演还是带着着喷薄的能量。
剧情走向也有，历史格局也有，但是有点玩脱了。从女主发现自己孩子被抱错开始，这块还算是能有一个比较清晰的走向，作为母亲这种患得患失的心情克鲁兹演的非常到位，但到后面却又变成了基于历史伤痛的寻根之旅，形式上乍一看是以小见大，但在观感上则是两码事，略显突兀。
对于西班牙历史不太了解的我 是来支持阿莫多瓦和克鲁兹以及来看美女的…并从雅尼斯的公寓借鉴了一些装修点子😂
