It is rare that she did not sacrifice her sincerity and humility to cater to the picturesque scenery and interesting folk customs. The best part of the rare story of "Movie fans" comes suddenly when the protagonist's rude words and deeds come. The atmosphere and love witnessed by the film carry great weight. The somewhat crazy road movie "Humanitarian News" has changed the gray and sad plain scenery into a new look. Maintaining the strange feelings between the two protagonists is very contagious, and we are really "on the road" with them. Burley Lannell, the Metro Daily, knows how to inject a dose of beautiful poetry into a movie through subtle dribs and drabs. "Golden country", this is a little paradise! She is the behind-the-scenes production [director] "Golden Nation" is written, directed and acted by the famous Belgian multi-habitat filmmaker Burley Lannell. This is Rannell's second feature film and his fourth film. The Belgian director, born in 1965, is a generalist. Before he became famous for his role in the Belgian series Les Snuls, he was a self-taught painter who did a lot of behind-the-scenes work. After becoming famous, he began to direct films, occasionally appearing in Turkish and French films. In 2005, "Super New Star", directed by him, won the International Alliance Art Film Award at the Berlin Film Festival, while the short film "Muno" directed in 2001 won the best international short film and specifically mentioned by international film critic Fabisie at the Toronto International Youth Film Festival. it is one of the promising young versatile talents in the Belgian film industry. El Dorado, which means "gold" in Spanish, was originally a legend of a South American tribe. The protagonist was a wealthy emperor and his country. Later, it gradually spread into the legend of "the city of gold", which attracted many Spanish colonists to look for treasure. [story Origin] the idea for the film comes from a real event experienced by director Burley Lannell: when he got home one night, he happened to run into two burglars, one hiding under the bed and the other under his desk. "this is a moment in life that you are unlikely to experience. The three of us each had a long night of conversation with our own panic. " Based on this bizarre event, the director conceived the film story. "all kinds of trivia come together to give the story flesh and blood, making the story richer and richer day by day." The adventure of Ivan and Eli is a real novel that mixes real events in life with moments that are purely fictional. " The film, named after El Dorado in Spanish, was originally a legend of a South American tribe about a wealthy emperor and his country, and later spread to the legend of "the City of Gold". To borrow the metaphor of this film title, what the director is looking for is the golden city of the soul. "combining sad infinity with infinitely stupid scenes, Bree Laniels wants to direct a comedy and dig into some depth and humanity." [before and after the camera] when writing the script, the director never wanted to play the role of Ivan. It was producer Jacques Onley Bronkar who came up with the idea and persuaded Burley Lannell. In fact, there is no doubt that the character written by Burley has another side of his character. As a result, we can find Burley in front of and behind the camera, and the director said, "this almost crazy experience is possible thanks to my team." However, for me, seeing myself standing in the middle of the river in shorts and appearing endlessly in front of the camera makes it difficult for me to judge the quality of the sample. " The film was set in the Bloom region of Belgium, and Burley Lannell chose a colorful and bright style for the image. In Burley's wide-angle shot, this usually gray and sad plain looks like the western United States or the prairie of South America. The director said, "I want to get rid of the gray and sad images of Belgium. I want to be happy." As for why such a story was made into a road movie, the director admitted that it originated from childhood experience. "when I was a kid, we used to make a round trip in the Calamine-Bastogne area every weekend to visit my grandparents. Every time I travel, I stick to the window, looking at the oncoming scenery, the car is like a cocoon wrapping me in it, this is a kind of happiness. [movie soundtrack] from writing to editing, the director also participated in the creation of music. Music is an integral part of the film. "luckily I met Renault Mayer, and the best part of the intense and undulating music he wrote was exactly what I expected in my head at the beginning of the script. In addition, Ampierle and Koangisan created a stunningly beautiful melody. My friend Stephen Liebersky also gave me his music sketch. In order to put these things together, we bought out the rights to these three pieces of music that I cherish very much. All this makes this original tape, powerful and charming, as I have always dreamed of. " Tidbits the director of the 61st Cannes Film Festival is a biweekly finalist. This film represents Belgium in the Oscar competition for best foreign language film.
