"A Bigger Splash" is a crazy movie. At first glance, the whole film is a light-hearted comedy of two men and two women taking a summer vacation. As a result, there was a sudden murder in the middle of the movie and it turned into a crime thriller. Except for the sudden change in the style of the film before and after the murder, which turned into a crime thriller for a few minutes, the whole movie is full of strong summer flavors such as sun, water waves, ice drinks, bikinis, rock music, etc. The first half is nothing. The key plot, the atmosphere is relaxed and joyous, just like watching a family video on vacation.
The film uses a lot of natural light, telephoto lenses and more close-up shots, and rarely has a deep depth of field. The biggest problem of the film is the unification of style. The setting of the murder case in the script does not integrate well with the style of the more literary films before, so the audience will easily feel like being molested. Another thing worth mentioning is the actor Ralph Fiennes. His hard performance has the strength to compete with the actor of this year's Venice. Although the camera shot him, it is really not very attractive.
