    What is the black book and white paper series, Zola is the pioneer of noir! The schizophrenia flowing in the blood is inherited, and the rich lover and the coquettish mistress cannot escape the scythe of...

    Adapted from Zola's novel of the same name, FL later remade "The Desire of Man". I really can't understand the French people's brain circuit when they fall in love. What is the motive for killing a lover first and then committing suicide? Blessed is the self-liberation of the soul? ? Unlike the femme fatale in film noir, although the heroine in JR films is always habitually derailed and incurs disasters, she often suffers along with it, and is more debauched and stupid than sinister and shrewd....

    It is another film based on Zola's novel. Because I have seen Lang's remake of Human Desire before, it is inevitable to compare. Overall, Renoir's version emphasizes a kind of fate, while Lang's version focuses more on description. The temptation from outside, the Lang's version has more visual impact in terms of lens language, and the Renoir version is more classical, but one thing is the...

    Zola's novel, the social situation. Betrayal is quite righteous... love. Nothing else highlights. Mediocre/I changed my mind later, mutual adultery was taken for granted, but being accused of stealing was irritating. So concerned about the human skin, this is called a beast in clothing, it is very...

    Tonight is the coolest experience in the @Shanghai Film Museum Outside Film Festival. The subtitles were typed by senior French master Huang Yuan, and the fit is perfect. Renoir's films are more or less scenery...

    The French's brain circuits can't keep up! I haven't read the original work, so I can't tell whether it's just random or the story isn't well told. There are no obvious ups and downs in the whole film, but the appetite is always hung (maybe still can't understand the idea), and the symbolism of the constantly interspersed train scene is very prominent and the most exciting. Is the "disease" like the schizophrenia of the male protagonist just the unexplainable sudden beast and disordered evil...

La Bête Humaine quotes

  • Séverine Roubaud: Yesterday he almost got crushed between two train cars. I was so close to being free. One morning you're fine and by the evening you're dead.

  • Séverine Roubaud: There he is.

    Jacques Lantier: Where? I don't see him.

    Séverine Roubaud: He's coming around the shed. He's coming towards us. I see his shadow on the wall.
