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.
非常符合豆瓣气质的上海风情味十足的市井文艺中年们的一地鸡毛和男欢女爱。
以及旁边那个哥们观影习惯令人发指，一边看一边说话，数次想要骂人🙂
很喜欢！！ 可是现实中哪有三个这么极品的女人都喜欢徐峥这样的中年男人？？
这部电影真的是吃不消啊。主线虚无缥缈，全靠上海的一些生活方式在攒动观影情绪。台词也是一边迎合讨好、一边阴阳怪气，感到不舒服。造谣索菲亚罗兰那段直接撞我枪口，扣一星。
很适合找个假期约三五好友窝在家里一起看 最大的败笔大概就是小爱豆吧
那一夜，三个完全不同的女性围坐在一起，听老克勒讲年轻时的爱情神话，被这个不知真假的故事感动到流泪。哪怕是已经过了会为一张素描动心的年纪，哪怕爱情终究属于神话，哪怕人到中年生活中最重要的是护手霜和小点心，可看一部糟糕的电影，也还是会悄悄喜欢。
看起来平淡，没有特别抓马的情节和歇斯底里的爱情故事，但是就好像在看身边人的故事。三个女性都很有亮点，马伊琍和这种上海小女人适配度很高。
外地人在上海生活
还有什么好讲的？都给我狠狠得吹一波！都这年头这市场了还能把家长里短鸡毛蒜皮拍出了费里尼+伍迪艾伦的味道来还想咋滴？节奏牛得一批 没有浪费一个镜头 几首插曲也出现得恰到好处 最重要的似 阿拉就住在太原路 每天遛狗必经过片中的弄堂街道 亲切得不得了好不辣～
平安夜太适合看这个电影了。太能体会老白了，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，断舍离，不都是在上课嘛，活到老，学到老。我也想像老乌一样，跟朋友喝一场，然后安然死去（不过我好像没朋友…现在的唯一目标：健康活到四十，然后死去，捐献遗体。无双太美了～而且居然有红拂夜奔！还是要相信神话，为情绪加一星吧。
非常接地气和生活化的电影，尤其是在看了那么多悬浮剧以后，这部电影更显得难能可贵。在上海生活过的人会更有体会，这真的非常上海人，他们会用咖啡精致生活，买东西会比较，但这TM才是真实的人啊。
剧本扎实，人物丰满，诙谐幽默，精准抓住了上海的气质~
好几处都笑出来了。确实有点伍迪艾伦的意思，爱一座城就给它拍一个电影。祝无双仍然好漂亮呀～～～马伊琍的小虎牙好软萌。艺辉国际学校红拂杂货店，哈哈哈这些名字起的。白鸽化妆那个让我想到第一次去上海，在淮海路无印良品逛，两个初中男生在讨论彩妆技法，本糙汉不懂却大为震撼！
虽然事前没有了解，看到中间就知道一定是女性导演拍摄的。男人拍不出这样立体的女性。
三星半，确实是今年院线华语片最有腔调的一部，出自一个初执导筒的文青编辑，也难怪都说这片子符合豆瓣的口味。
#2022.16#星光#没那么好看，但也值得一看，可能只值三星，但私以为国产出一部好电影着实不易，自动升一星。影片很戏剧但又很生活化，很真实又带着些神话，很喜欢老乌这个乌托邦式的幻想角色。邋遢的中年人和三个美女，到底是徐峥配不上三位美女，还是我们这个社会对女性态度只接受美？因为女性不论是什么年龄，那只有一个要求，美。几段对话很有意思，群像描写也不错，众人第一次相遇以及美术馆三人行，还是最后众人看费里尼的状态以及结尾朋友圈的虚假自淫，处处充满讽刺。
更：看到这个评分估计是我误会导演了。
认定了李小姐之后，就坚定的为对方付出，承包了接送孩子、辅导功课的任务，甚至提供住处，面对风情万种的野猫和有过感情基础的前妻，也没有改变自己的选择。
北电毕业卖电子烟，这个梗出来之后全场只有我在笑，谁懂
期待蛮高的，看完之后觉得，好是好，没那么好。总觉得，几个女性角色依旧在围着老白转，她们自己的样貌依旧没有那么清晰。以及，老乌的故事没有很打动我，我不懂她们为什么流泪……
