      For all the women~

      The movie is aptly named, with a hint of sweetness under a touch of bitterness...
      It is full of exotic amorous feelings, and it is really a very charming movie to see through the film. The first time I learned about Lebanon from the movies, I can only say that it is beautiful, all kinds of beauty - about the story, about the people. It turns out that the emotions between women can also be very touching. Strictly speaking, it's not perfect, but I'm just intrigued by what it's all about....

      live well, love yourself

      Caramel, caramel, something that is often used in western desserts. And it's actually something called sugar syrup that I used to play with. In this Lebanese film, caramel is used for hair removal in beauty salons.

      When I first saw the film, I was a little hesitant because it was produced in Lebanon and because the text on the film said it was a comedy. I finally decided to buy it because I took a photo of it and I got the cover. Fortunately, the film is also to my taste, Lebanon,...

      The story is mediocre, the picture is moving, the beauty is superb

      The story combines various dilemmas of women: affair, non-virginity, homosexuality, milfs still pursuing movie dreams, choosing love or family, etc. Each of the five women has their own troubles. Even so, the director did not deliberately reveal these pains. Even the very sad scenes were handled very restrained and subtle, revealing a kind of sad but not sad beauty.

      However, the ending was too mediocre. Those who like married men started a new relationship, those who were not virgins...

      absolute beirut

      A friend told me that it was one of his favorite movies. He even bought the hardcover version on amazon and borrowed it to watch it on weekends. The music is great! ! Beirut is such a magical place, beautiful women who speak fluent French live together in a pink house, a grandpa in a tailored suit is drinking a cheap tea with a top hat and waiting for a date with the grandma who picks up the trash. The place. I used to feel creepy when I heard the Lebanese people in the building open a party...

      Sweet and bitter ambiguous

      Because of the lack of hugs, I fell in love with the feeling of being touched, such as washing my hair.

      When washing my hair, the hair salon boy held the back of my head, inserted ten fingers into my long hair, rubbed, rubbed or twisted, and lightly pressed the scalp with the pulp of the fingers, obviously strong hands but yet gentle, that kind of careful care. , always makes me sleepy.

      I always close my eyes at those moments, and the darkness can both prolong and hide my...

      It is very delicate and touching. In this religious country, women's repression and release, sadness and romance in their lives are all very unique. The old lady Rose tears every time I watch it. The movie music is also very, very...
