What's the best thing about winning the four major awards of the Temple of Heaven Award at the Beijing Film Festival?

 At the closing ceremony of the 15th Beijing International Film Festival held the day before yesterday, the Norwegian movie "The Pause of Love" won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenwriter and Best Actress, becoming the biggest winner of the Temple of Heaven Award. What's the good thing about this video? Famous film critic Zhou Liming believes that the film is not only the best work of this year's Beijing Film Festival, but also outstanding even within the range of world-renowned film festivals and film awards. "It definitely wins a number of popular films such as the Oscar for this year's best film "Anola".

  Directed by Lilia Ingolfsdottiel, the film tells the story of Maria's sudden collapse of marriage and confusion in the future after her husband filed for divorce. Disoriented and helpless, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery. After experiencing struggle and heartache, this woman who once devoted all her life to her family gradually recovered the fragments of her once lost in the morning and twilight, and re-outlined the trajectory of her life with a brush stained with tears. When family affection woven into a warm net to hold her falling figure, when the coffee handed over by her old friend was filled with the fragrance of time, she finally understood: only by calmly accepting the cracks in life can the sun shine into the darkest corner of her heart and complete the true meaning of breaking out of the cocoon and rebirth.

  Zhou Liming believes that the film’s analysis of marriage is extremely sharp, but it is not distorted by the truth and warmth, which is comparable to the 2019 “Marriage Story”. The film is also the result of the wave of high-quality and high-yield female directors in recent years. "Especially the description of the heroine is meticulous and meticulous. It is hard to imagine that male directors can have such courage and ability. There are several dialogues that are very impressive, just as close to the classic couple quarrel scene in the Palme d'Order of the Cannes International Film Festival "The Trial of the Falling" film."

  "If the entire film can receive enough global exposure, it will have the potential to be among the contemporary classics." Zhou Liming believes that the performance of Helga Gulian, the heroine of the film, is so difficult, credible, and rich and delicate, which is wonderful. "She is the most eye-catching performance I have ever seen this year. I am very moved that this year's Beijing Film Festival has selected such a heavy work, and it is the director's first work. One of the major roles of the film festival is to act as a mentor, and this "Pause of Love" is completely worthy of the title of "Qianlima".

  At the closing ceremony, Helga Gulian came on stage on behalf of the crew. She happily said that this was a small-cost work with only a few actors. "But we devoted our best to create. Although the distance between everyone in the world today is not that close, we need to understand each other more deeply and realistically. This movie is like a window that brings people closer to each other, thanks to the Beijing International Film Festival."

  Industry insiders believe that "The Pause of Love" shines brightly at this Beijing Film Festival, indicating that the Beijing International Film Festival has the ability and confidence to select film masterpieces worldwide. This year's Temple of Heaven Award attracted 1,794 films from all over the world, accounting for nearly 90% of overseas works, an increase of 18.9% over last year.

  Sha Dan, the curator of the Beijing Film Festival screening, told our reporter: "This year is my eleventh year of invitation to participate in the film festival screening. My deepest feeling is that our circle of friends is constantly expanding. Compared with the beginning, this year, Beijing Film Festival Energy Conservation has so many excellent works gathered in Beijing in such a short time, which is a reflection of the continuous expansion of the influence of the Beijing Film Festival."
