    C / A lot of incongruity is governed by a refined theatrical concept (rather than a visual concept). The beginning is too grim and the intensity of what follows is so different that there isn't a single emotional point to fall into. After the second half of the film faded away, the performance went wrong again: Hanel's many micro-expressions and shoulder movements were at first glance a modern man in a costume. There seems to be an overly clear line between movement and stillness, and emotion...

    85/100, a film about perspective and "eyes". // The hem of the garment and the veil tremble in the sea breeze, the repeated avoidance of sight forms the first impression, and the record of the eye's viewing and brushstrokes begins to be established. And the bud of love is like a pure white ghost, always flashing in the dark. The flame burns the skirt, and the emotions inside and outside heat up. I want to never forget your eyes and the flowery smile when you are wearing a long green dress. Cry...

    Intuition is very similar to "Please call me by your name", reading the comments, some people really say that. It is the beautiful scenery, the light and the fire, meet by chance, then leave, reminisce intermittently, and finally freeze on a crying and laughing face. It is a hazy love that is tentative, not profound and long, but has the first throbbing and ignorance in life that will never be...

    #72nd Cannes# This year's second Cannes work with full marks was given to a film that was completely unexpected before the competition! The film has made an amazingly large article in a very small format, with a highly concentrated and dramatic structure. Most of the time there are only three characters (painter-girl-maid), and the total time of male appearances in the film No more than two minutes. The main content is focused on the relationship between the painter and the girl, and the...

    6/10. The title of the film obviously contains multiple meanings, both the burning face of the dress, and the close-up stare like a final portrait. Herowitz listened to the music storm and experienced an emotional storm at the same time. However, the director's creativity and the title do not match. , lacking a wild energy that love cannot suppress. Although Herowitz couldn't hide the excitement of going out, ran to the steep cliffs and the turbulent sea, and seemed to want to use the isolated...

    "Female Gaze" is a subject that is easier said than done. Sciamma's film makes the act of staring very rhythmic, but just how feminine the gaze is, I really can't tell from the movie. To be honest, if you want to describe the gaze, the subject of portraiture is the most obvious. In addition, the plot of the film and the setting of the female characters all fall into the same pattern. The use of Orpheus to bring out the central idea also shows heavy hand marks, and the tribute to CMBYN is too...

    4.5; The natural light + candle/firelight photography is breathtakingly beautiful, the composition is comfortable, the oil painting texture is very classical, and the script format is small but full of high-concentration drama elements, and the performance is meticulous and breathless. Two main themes: 1. Gaze and be gaze-the sparks in the entanglement of the gaze, the subject/object of the "gaze" changes, the painting flows from rigid to vivid, and emotions are simultaneously aroused; the...

    The representation is neither new nor complicated, but it is so beautiful to shoot. In the minimalist external environment, only the constantly surging waves and the beeping flames stir the characters' hearts. Through the act of gaze (on and off the screen) / different frame) to sculpt the relationship between characters (a scene where I love playing the piano). The absence of the male figure actually symbolizes the existence of a more solid and invisible control (the warm moments are often cut...

    [A+] The relationship between subjective gaze and objective peeping is shown through "portraits", and the film itself presents the opposite of sight and perspective in the same way. In this way, the emotional chain of two media and three perspectives (painter, lady and audience) is continuously extended by this image subject. In the surging waves and flames, lust grows wildly; at a certain moment, the star and the star, the status of the subject and the guest changes, and then becomes an equal...

    It is rare to see such a lesbian film that women do not consume lesbians, and prefer to view it as a female film, deconstructing male discourse everywhere. The love between women is to know, touch, touch and understand, and the treatment of the almost invisible male gaze is too comfortable to look at. The heroine Hermione...

  • Sophie: We were walking by the cliffs. She was behind me and vanished. I saw her broken body below.

    Marianne: Did you see her fall?

    Sophie: No. I think she jumped.

    Marianne: Why do you think that?

    Sophie: She didn't cry out.

  • La Comtesse: You've made me laugh. It's ages since that happened.

    Marianne: I didn't do anything.

    La Comtesse: You're here. It takes two to be funny.
