9.3/10. Top Ten of the Year. Masterpiece by Douglas Sirke. The intertextuality and emotion of the two mother-daughter relationships are extremely deep, and the funeral scene is perfectly scheduled. The biblical stories and astrological movements are cleverly set to indicate the direction of the plot. With the help of mirrors/screens and even low angles The camera position is hidden or the character is exposed to create a sense of film. The fly in the ointment is that the male protagonist's...

The emotional epic of four women, they are brave and fragile, strong and confused, the faces in the mirror are their fantasy of love, the choice between career and love, the war between freedom and tradition, the struggle between the world and the heart.

Everyone in Seck's last melodrama masterpiece is trying to imitate the ideal of life, some wanting autonomy, some freedom, some love, and some saintly devotion And endure, eventually have to realize the falsehood of this pursuit. Likewise, Seck's films are always about the surface, like diamonds falling in front of his audience. But he used this pretentious surface to create a three-dimensional effect, and every sentence contained a pun. Therefore, we can see quite penetrating structural...

Sek's movie is my favorite one so far, the play is excellent, every female character is written so three-dimensionally and full, unfortunately, the funeral climax scene at the end is too hard, and there are some logical flaws, diluted All the tension accumulated before, but the stamina is still quite large, and those problems are still problems; the language scale in the film and the moral impact of the plot should have been quite large at the time, and the cruel reality was so Straight out of...
