      [Film Review] Double Lover (2017) 6.7/10

      Ozon's genre practice DOUBLE LOVER joins a mini-cinematic tributary fixating on and delving into the unwonted conditions of twins, like many a notable antecedent, say David Cronenberg's DEAD RINGERS (1988), Ozon finds the film a scientific bedrock in "parasitic twin", a medical term that hasn't reached a mass comprehension and mines profoundly into the psychological implications stemmed from...

      The function of contemporary art for thriller

      Contemporary thriller films increasingly use images from contemporary art to form their own cinematic universe. Contemporary artworks that are distorted, sharp, exaggerated, and easily cause physical discomfort are incorporated into their own symbolic world by the author, and are often used to reflect the inner state of the protagonist. It is not a new thing for artworks to be metaphors as symbols, but contemporary artworks often together with the place where it is displayed (contemporary art...

      Except for the male lead worth watching...

      Is the medical level in France so poor? A parasitic fetus was not detected? From the beginning, I can guess that it is almost a psychological fantasy. There are a lot of sex scenes, but there is nothing to show! I saw the poster on the streets of Paris and thought the male protagonist was so handsome. I especially wanted to watch this drama, but I was quite disappointed. I don't like girls with short hair. It feels like two men are having sex, especially when the breasts are so small,...

      I want you to be as gentle as water, and I want you to be wild. So I hope there is one of you, and I hope there is another you who is you but not the same

      Brushed a French movie "Double-Faced Lover", which belongs to a psychoanalytical movie, similar to Natalie Portman's "Black Swan"~ Many plots can't tell whether it really happened in the film or just the imaginary world of the protagonist ~

      The movie is about Chloe, the heroine, who has had stomach pains since she was a child. She has been examined in major hospitals to no avail. Finally, she finds Paul, a psychiatrist, who is the male lead. After going back and forth, the two fell in...

      Don't you think it's particularly like a "magic universe"...

      6/10. The brothers in the mirror surrounded the female protagonist with guns is plagiarism [Miss Shanghai], the so-called stunning title where the pink uterus closes and quickly switches to the eyes, hehe, Mr. Jin Ji-de has already played it; the topic of rival twins, domination/dominated is rotten Suspicious of teeth, Ou Rong, who is full of sensuality, only symbolizes males as red roses and white roses in terms of moral development. The fear of childbirth is too cliché, and the ending of...

      Thriller and wonder, after being thoroughly spoiled, there is no sense of suspense when watching it. In addition to the "unprecedented opening in film history" praised by Fu Mao, the museum meditation, the specimens of people and objects are also audio-visually fresh, and the mirror images in many places are used in different ways. Ou Rong has always been the author of the "new extremism", including contemporary art of "Dengtang", the imaginary 3P of "Under the Sand", the psychological...

      The story is a bit curious, forcibly thrilling. There is a short commentary attached: Ou Rong is discussing the essence of life. I disagree, I think the most profound sentence in his entire film is that no one is redeemed because of love. I have the urge to guess his zodiac...
