The text provides an in-depth look at the films of Eric Rohmer, exploring recurring themes and stylistic choices. It examines Rohmer's distinctive approach to realism, his use of amateur actors, and his focus on the nuances of human relationships. The analysis differentiates between his period films and those set in contemporary times, highlighting how each engages with the concepts of tragedy, morality, and grace. It discusses how Rohmer uses space, especially Paris and the countryside, as settings that influence and reflect the characters' internal states. The text also emphasizes Rohmer's Catholic worldview and its influence on his cinematic representations of everyday life and the possibility of miracles. Ultimately, it argues that Rohmer's films are deeply humanistic, celebrating the complexities and contradictions of the person within atmospheric conditions of empirical life.

This text is primarily an academic article titled "Lars von Trier, Dogville and the hodological space of cinema" by Tarja Laine, published in the journal Studies in European Cinema. The article analyzes Lars von Trier's film Dogville through the lens of Kurt Lewin's concept of "hodological space," which relates to human experience as a social energy field. Laine argues that Dogville's minimalist setting encourages viewers to actively create the space, highlighting the intersubjective and embodied nature of cinematic experience, particularly in post-classical cinema. The essay also incorporates concepts from Sartre and Lefebvre to explore themes of social space, the spectator's body, and the interplay of different temporal rhythms within the film. Ultimately, the article proposes that hodological space offers a valuable framework for understanding the dynamic relationship between the film and the spectator's lived experience.

等待，是時間的凝視，是渴望與信念交織的片刻。

它不是靜止，而是內在的流動；不是空白，而是未來的伏筆。
等待可以是愛的試煉，是靈魂的低語，是黑暗中對光的守望。
它可能是一場無聲的祈禱，也可能是命運在測試耐心與決心。

小丑可以等待天使，夜可以等待黎明，
但等待的本質，是期盼某種回應，
或者，只是讓自己在時間裡，學會存在。

等待一個回應，或是一個無法預測的沉默。
等待一場重逢，或是永不歸來的身影。
等待愛的降臨，或是心碎的結局。

有時，等待是一場信仰，深信光會穿透黑暗。
有時，等待是一種試煉，測量靈魂能承受的重量。
有時，等待本身就是答案，因為在等待的過程中，
我們才知道自己真正渴望的是什麼。

世俗中的神聖感...
只有馬丁史柯西斯想得出來，把在拍片現場錄 Room Tone 的時刻和主日閉會祈禱 （benediction）聯想在一起 😆
其實一點都沒錯，一樣是全然沉浸在靜默裡，虔誠的盼望著...
