最佳國際影片｜最佳導演提名
後勁很強的一部電影，以一種輕鬆、幽默又充滿反思的方式，探索生活中的極限，並思考自我控制與自由之間的界線，以及自我對人生意義、生命價值的追尋。麥叔還是一如既往的帥，演技細膩而充滿層次，讓這部電影更具深度。
1:51:28 《醉好的時光》2020年的一部丹麥電影。中年大叔拍給中年失意大叔看的電影。電影告訴我們飲酒不要過量，但是也不要不喝，保持微醺的狀態最好。電影的最後，男主角與他的畢業生，在碼頭上跳舞，這一幕有感動到我：在歡樂當中帶有一點點中年男子的悲涼，彷彿在熱舞中重拾失去的青春（與愛情），又彷彿是他人生最後的奮力一舞。電影開頭引了這句Søren Kierkegaard的話作為整部片的詩眼： “What is youth? A dream. What is love? The dream's content.”
# 醉好的時光 由丹麥導演Thomas Vinterberg執導，主演是知名演員Mads Mikkelsen。他在影片中飾演一位中年數學老師Martin，和三位好友一起進行實驗性的酒精飲用計畫，希望能夠在生活中找到更多的樂趣和自信心。這種實驗性的酒精飲用計畫成為了他們生活的一部分，也對他們的人生產生了巨大的影響。 帥大叔Mads Mikkelsen演技爐火純青，成功塑造了一個面對中年危機感到迷茫和無助的男人。他帶領觀眾能夠深入了解到Martin的內心世界，進而理解他為什麼會選擇這樣的酒精飲用計畫。 影片探討了中年危機這個普遍的問題，但同時也關注了每個人都可能面臨的問題，例如「我是誰？」。影片通過酒精這個媒介，讓觀眾思考酒精對人們的影響和價值。酒精到底是讓你了解自己的捷徑還是死路一條？ 它不僅僅是一個關於酗酒的故事，更是一個關於人生、自我探索和成長的故事。影片演員的演技精湛，情節引人入勝，讓觀眾不禁反思自己的人生。電影最後主角狂飲起舞的片段，看以歡樂卻蘊藏了巨大的悲傷。你是不是也像Martin一樣呢？
看到最後竟然淚流滿面。 如果人生走至中年，沒有酒精就會無法面對失敗、是去、痛苦，力量已經從身體還有的孔洞都流逝出去，那該怎麼做？ 《醉好的時光》用輕鬆的節奏自我解嘲，試圖探討的卻是，當人活在不那麼為生存掙扎的社會福利國家，該如何面對存在的意義？ 「你根本就像不存在著」，如果身體缺乏的那一點酒精，只是為了讓我們重新啟動感官，重新落地，並在清醒時重新感受失去。感覺不滿足而想要酒醉的時候，一定是因為對於活著太認真了吧！ 能醉時，就記住那些時光吧。
＃臺大電影節 透過酒精來探討人生議題，雖然很瘋狂，但也很真實，藉此呈現出人生的各種態樣。酒精短暫忘卻煩惱，但當快樂消退後，終究必須面對各種問題、責任與現況。由於每個人所面對到的事物不同，0.05%酒精濃度的實驗，也對4位主角帶來不同的結局，儘管結論不一定是美好的，但重要的是在這過程中的重新思索人生，找回隱藏在內心的自己，只有當問題解決時，才是最好的時光。
#臺大電影節 怎麼可以把酗酒拍的如此理所當然義正嚴詞......湯瑪斯凡提伯格實在一絕，以酒作為中年危機的開脫，不僅全球共鳴，又如同劇中一句「反正整個國家都喝得跟瘋子一樣」扎下丹麥最道地的民族性。酒，如同所有特效藥一樣，治標不治本，它是一時的解方，成效頗佳，同時也是個可怖的雙面刃，損人又害己。問題終得靠自身領悟方可化解，最後再一起喝個爛醉跳支舞吧！ 本片手持鏡頭之美，好像導演跟攝影也都有0.05%一樣；唯一讓我思考許久的是字卡的選用，雖符合喝酒喝到學術研究的劇情，對於形式上意義上的處理，尚在思考中，只能說中後段bad trip的蒙太奇，佐以學術研究告終的字卡，方便的很詩意。
#臺大電影節 感覺導演在拍這部片也讓自己身體充滿0.05%酒精濃度啊。 整部片猶如喝醉、丹麥版的《同學麥娜絲》，那些職場困擾、人生困惑，直到40歲都還解不開的問題，其實也沒什麼大不了，2023的現在看起來覺得比《束縛》更加解開束縛地暢快淋漓。 我非常非常喜歡最後一場舞，配上本片驚艷優異的電影歌曲 "What A Life"，像是為本片的痛快地下了一個結論，也重擊我的心臟，在影史上的電影舞蹈中，那份酣暢感不亞於《85年的夏天》在你墳上起舞。
一瞬間，恍惚覺得幾個主角從前是《Dark》中小鎮一同尋覓世界與自我之謎的少年，自永無島離開後，進入另一種永恆－－然後這一天，在乾燥分岔的自己和日子中著手改造，以實驗為名，進入一趟旅程。實驗結報的惡趣味，其實包藏著赫塞寫酩酊者之歌，以及齊克果寫成癮者日記，的禍（詩）心。 Tolerance：體內濃度，從0.05，1.0，催落去...越來越不夠，用等量的效果沒有以前好，用比預期更多的量才能達到以前就的效果。 一開始的恣意遊走，後來越倉促切換，步伐越遲重 原來真的下沉到另一邊，會如此痛苦 原來沒有在這一邊下錨，真的會徹底換到另一邊 原來徹底到了另一邊，就是真的瘋狂 但所謂這一側，原本根基都不可能夠深：明明知道日子是非Ａ即Ｂ的清晰，直到染上時而透明時而混濁的金黃光暈，才讓你變得更醉，也看得更清晰。 在這一側，你真的存在嗎？就在身側，愛人問你。 你問自己，憑什麼留戀「醜陋的幸福」又無法抗拒另一端的沉醉？走向另一端的閃光時刻，是超絕調度的小小奇蹟，還是都只是自我陶醉的醉態舞步？ 之於這一側的人們，小男孩與學生，被你們忽明忽暗的波光波及，有什麼經過，但他們的判斷對你們而言，其實根本不重要了......。 而愛人們，部分共享著跟你們相同的惶惑與釋然：明明要走上一條阻力小的道路，最後已經搞不清楚是哪邊更辛苦了？ 整個「感召過程」，起初另一個世界的聲音像聖歌一樣遙遠朦朧地感召，再來是粒粒分明的鋼琴，然後是兀自瘋長般的交響器樂，最後回到幾乎要蓋棺論定這段封閉迴圈的喪禮國歌...... 但〈Scarlet Pleasure - What A Life〉響起，跳舞吧！ So musical and open，「愛上駁雜而酩酊世界/自己」，而這份世故而流麗，是為經營著乍看能保持平衡所以能隨時啟動「another round」的下沉－－你我都知道，總會慢慢沉向另一邊的，你在那一邊如此清楚，這一邊反而是更醉的，不是嗎？ 瞧不起物質成癮的我，因你們而精神物質成癮，在金黃色的光暈裡，時而思緒透明，時而淚眼混濁，流淌冰冷空氣與光芒的磷磷銀幕下，沒有什麼比這裡更溫暖，所以才浸透蝕骨。
喝醉...一時...開心...更多的...問題...等待...清醒...面對...
Trying to become the ideal adult, only to realize that no matter your age, the fear of the unknown never truly fades? With limited life experience, we struggle to survive in an ever-changing world. We become parents, yet still carry the weight of our own upbringing. Here are five soul-nourishing cinematic “coming-of-age remedies” to help you rediscover your original self and strength—bring along your inner child and taste the essence of growth: Yi Yi, a Taiwanese New Wave masterpiece, reflects the quiet milestones of growing up. When dreams fall apart, All About Lily Chou-Chou captures the angst of disillusioned youth. Lost your way? Get gloriously drunk with Another Round, the Oscar-winning Danish hit. Feeling bound by your roots? Draw rebellious inspiration from Afghanistan’s maverick filmmaker in Nothingwood. And if loneliness creeps in, turn to the extraordinary lives of creators like Cheng Wen, Steve Jobs, Yayoi Kusama, and Agnès Varda. Sometimes, growing up isn’t about letting go of your inner child—but learning how to walk with them.
Film is one of the fastest ways to get to know a country. In just an hour or so, a movie can take you through its streets, speak its language, and tell its stories from the inside out. Don’t worry—we’re not here to dive into complex geopolitical debates. In this film program, you’ll meet a wild rock band raising chaos in North Korea, a group of Danish men who really love to drink, and witness the everyday madness of the Russian “warrior people” through dashcam footage. These films don’t aim to explain entire nations. Instead, they focus on the little things—the strange, funny, messy bits of daily life. And isn’t it exactly these small moments that, together, make up the kaleidoscope of a country?
The word “Take Off” carries dozens of meanings—departure, revelation, flight, transformation. Depending on context, it shifts and expands, just like life itself, which rarely conforms to a single shape. We’ve selected ten films, each capturing a different form of transformation. Some tell stories of letting go—of setting off alone on a pilgrimage or retreating into the solitude of the forest. Others follow companions on creative journeys, documenting their explorations along the way. Some films bring us back to the uncertainty of a world shaken by a virus—where vaccines and rapid tests posed impossible questions, and the path forward in a post-pandemic world came without instructions. In these moments, a bit of fantasy in the everyday—or a drink-fueled moment of self-reflection—might just offer clarity. And the journey of transformation doesn’t end with life itself. What do we leave behind? What do we carry with us? Eventually, we arrive at heaven’s door—and perhaps, rebirth.
The recent buzz around “the multiverse” ultimately points to something simple yet profound: our lives are shaped by the choices we make—big or small, moment by moment. Each film in this selection invites you to reflect on your own path. Was there a decision you made at a certain time that led you to become who you are today? And have you ever found yourself wondering— what if I had chosen differently? What would my life look like now?
I gave you my youth in exchange for the fresh hope of a new year— Whether it belongs to the past, or to the future still unknown, there are things the wind has left behind: no trace on the surface, yet etched deep within. If we call that youth, it feels just right. To run, to cry out—for the sake of youth. To leave something behind through music and film, to take something in return. And in the process, to become—without regret—someone better.
“Film is the fastest way to get to know a country.” Following the online film program “These Countries, Those Stories”, Mindi returns with six new selections—films that take you through city streets and speak the language of a nation’s soul. From a dashboard camera in Russia capturing everyday chaos, to a young girl in China growing up surrounded by the world’s plastic waste, to a moving art project unfolding in the quiet French countryside—each story may seem small, but it’s through these small moments that a country’s kaleidoscopic identity takes shape.
The 76th Festival de Cannes officially kicked off in 2023, bringing together filmmakers and cinephiles from around the world. Before this year’s winners are revealed, Giloo invites you to revisit 15 unmissable international gems from past editions—essential viewing for any Cannes enthusiast.
For many, half of their family stories unfold at the dining table. Take Eat Drink Man Woman, where family storms brew and erupt between courses, or The Wedding Banquet, whose banquet scene captures what it means to live under “five thousand years of sexual repression.” The other half of those stories often lies beneath the table—hidden in secrets and silence. Like the cryptic relatives in The Walchensee Forever, or the adults in Yi Yi, each burdened with their own quiet thoughts. This Lunar New Year, after the family feast, gather once more—for a film. Let your family story play out on screen.
The world is too ugly. Even without testing positive, I still want to isolate myself. Isolation takes you, yourself—as your own company—and some good films. Return to the way of living alone. Remember what it feels like to be alive. To deal with the things you don’t like, sometimes all you need to do is deal with yourself. You’re carrying baggage—of course you are. But maybe it’s time to sort through it. Take only what you love. Leave the rest behind. After all, life is long. If you’re going to carry heavy things, make sure they matter. I can’t promise you’ll like these films. But I like them. And I like the feeling of watching a film alone.
【Creative Comic Collection x Giloo "Autumn of Frames — New Sensibility Manga Stroll" Series】At some point, life suddenly becomes abnormal; sometimes it's forced by external circumstances, other times it's an internal unease. These people, who have long since descended into madness, still insist they possess an unblemished sincerity, willing to give everything for a moment yet to come. Watching them desperately try to catch lightning in a torrential downpour, I find it incredibly beautiful. 📖 Hana and Alice pays homage to the short comic "Invisible Dance": https://www.creative-comic.tw/zh/book/378/content
