After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is headed to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. Except he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight is cancelled. A day passes, and then another, and he calls home and work to say he can’t return just yet – his parents are getting old, his parents are ill, time is too short. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his artist father is suspicious. From afar, his confused wife grows increasingly unsettled. Meanwhile Mikey moves back into his room, digging out notebooks and mementos, calling on old friends. As the days go on he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. --© Official Site
很像男团女团参加恐怖主题综艺时候的小短片。 下饭，给三星。
如果结合一下柬埔寨在红色高棉时期的历史就会对这部片子更有感触了
导演一再用“楼长”烂掉的脚趾头来指代需要拆迁的大楼，似乎不把楼拆掉，城市就会像他一样落得一个截肢的下场。但是导演也告诉我们，他真正病因是糖尿病。对于柬埔寨来说，病因是贫穷，是不公。不要随便说“要拿出壮士断腕的勇气”，毕竟截肢的不是喊口号的人。这个片的缺点吧，就是叙事效率太低，影像风格有形无神，有炎热的天气，没有温度。
有几个特别好的主题，被糟烂的表现手法拉垮崩盘。毫无记忆点的鬼魂设计，浮夸的惊吓套路，使得以城市为主题蕴含的都市怪谈在一惊一乍的表现中完全徒有其表，就如同棒国没有历史长河积累沉淀的文化基底一样，这些鬼故事怪谈也如同廉价的快餐寡淡无味。
看起来好像都拍了，其实什么也没拍，因为什么也不会改变。
好多单元太过了，如果在中间停止一定不错，结果又是丧尸又是吃人杀人的，没意思
导演对于影像风格缺少整体的把握，但是时不时有灵气的镜头出现，还是很惊喜的，作为一个青春片，整体氛围感很舒服。
PYIFF 欧洲片拍法，贾樟柯式叙事，融进柬埔寨里。
牙医被寄生虫感染变成丧尸的病人害死
恐怖片我看的不多，但我也知道不是光会个js和喇叭够响就是恐怖片了。
每个故事的主人都多少脑子有点那大病，碰见鬼和坏人第一反应都不是往外跑无语死了
科长监制，东南亚拆迁故事，故事讲得很拧巴，卧虎单元有机会拿奖。
城中村拆迁，小镇青年无处安放的青春，很贾樟柯。很中国。
1.8 资料馆 经历过拆迁 算是有些感同身受了
要不是分段式的，可能真的会弃，越到后面越没意思。。。
前1/3还行，越往后越拉垮，模仿大师没错，但别请他做监制，会束手束脚吧。
故事会风格的恐怖短片集锦，重点是吓你，而不是合理得吓你。
PYIFF2021，很私人的拍摄视角，有些镜头比如最后的手持感觉可以找到更好的角度，情绪很满。其实没有带着期待，但还挺喜欢的
面试提交了生辰八字被女巫带走结冥婚
细致的声画处理，感觉触角真的触到了氤氲潮湿的柬埔寨，但遥远的触角末端发生的一切又央央地共鸣回来。
