    The expression of metaphysical literary lines is hard to digest. When a rational boy meets a casual girl, compared to the two intellectual boys who are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and poetry, the casual girl is more frank and not hypocritical. Human is the collection of sensibility and reason, and emotion is the collection of love and desire. When a man only uses his lower body to think about problems, he is destined to be at a disadvantage, and the more he can't get it, the...

    7/10. Rohmer’s males read too much books, and their behavioral thinking methods have the superiority of a philosopher. They would rather grind their mouths than decide whether to go to bed or not; women are better at knowing the emotional game well, when the male protagonist plays on the beach. She pushed away hard, and then ran to the arms of the male number two to arouse the possessiveness of the male lead. Prose-culture movies usually just lead the audience into the life of a certain type of...

    It is simply a movie version of the chapter "On Collecting" in Baudrillard's doctoral dissertation. The "collector" here is a type of person: he has no way to regard others as real subjects, and can only collect them as objects. Of course, he has a certain appreciation and knows what is worth collecting. But it is also limited to collections. He has no way to truly live with his collection and experience all the changes in his life together. Therefore, he wanted to be alone, but he couldn't...

    ★★★★☆ The relationship between men and women is not very clear, it is better to interspersed with some philosophical dialogues about life. Female collectors collect Chinese vases, and they also "collect" different types of men. The male protagonist has always wanted or wanted to sleep with the female collector from beginning to end, but people don't buy it and continue to hang. Finally, a middle-aged and elderly man came, and she spent the night with others without saying a word. Sometimes love...

    I can understand Rohmer through the eyes of Hong Sang-soo (especially "Night and Sun") (for Orientals, Hong Sang-soo is obviously easier to understand); I was fooled by the philosophical French before. The heroine is really a stunner, the freedom and presumptuousness of that era, those idle people are really idle (there is absolutely no worry about the country and the people in Tolstoy's...

    #10thBJIFF# ​​I don’t want to be included in the collection, and I can’t stand the restlessness of my body. However, the definition of "female collector" is entirely from a male perspective. Nothing to do with morality, or just a general contract of social morality, and in the end it's just a man's pitiful and ridiculous...

    Three and a half. The male protagonist has a desire for the female protagonist, but feels uneasy that he may hand over the initiative at any time to become one of the "collections" of the female protagonist, so he runs away, gives the female protagonist to another person for voyeurism, or uses morality as an evasion to the female protagonist. The Lord carries out verbal humiliation. He didn't get her in the end, but he didn't escape her completely as he wished. The filming method of the film is...

    A lonely man who wants to despise a woman's debauchery with morality is doomed to fail. The source of this failure is not the temptation of women, but the morality and freedom of men themselves. Because behind the choice of morality and freedom is the history of being hurt, self-enclosed protection and the courage to lose...

    The success of Rohmer’s first true feature film is not how deep the theme is discussed, but because this method of constructing character and relationship through serious and philosophical narration and dialogue has brought about the expression of the film. An almost entirely new expression possibility. Almendros' naturalistic photography achieved the greatest effect under extremely tight funding. Haydée's lazy attractiveness is terrible. ....

The Collector quotes

  • Daniel: I'm still interested in perversity. But nothing like that kind of chick.

  • Daniel: The more girls a guy has, the more he's suspect. The important thing is not to be liked. It flatters me. It's nice not to be in her collection.
