      destiny and choice, choice and destiny

      In my opinion, Kings and Queens focuses on the simple proposition of how people make choices when faced with the various possibilities in life. People with different personalities make different choices in different moods and situations. Different choices guide different paths, but ultimately lead different people to a similar inevitable "abyss". This is the sense of helplessness and powerlessness that fate brings.

      king and queen

      The structure of the film is very interesting. During the narrative process, there are flashbacks, interludes, and reversals. The basis for using it in the emotional drama of life is two neurotic protagonists, one is the wonderful daughter Nora who will be cursed by her dead father, the other One is the band members who have endured them for more than 10 years and tried their best to make them imprisoned in a mental hospital. The film has a lot of information, many jaw-dropping and...

      The humble king begins to triumph

      The beautiful and splendid Nora, surrounded by the halo of doting, is ready to visit her old father with the best state and gifts (the sexualized "Leda and the Swan"), while the thin and wretched Isamel has tried her best to win a card for herself. Entrance ticket to a mental hospital. This is the bizarre, unrelated message that the author gives the audience.
          If this were a typical Hollywood family comedy, there would be gimmicks and exaggerations that would force the audience to open...

      "The desire to be loved" is a bullet that penetrates a lover's heart

      Queen's graceful appearance
      "I've always thought that love means a spiritual understanding of never having to ask 'why', but my second husband took the opposite view, he was not very thoughtful when he thought about it, and when I When he complained, he would always say 'you can bring it up', there is no reason to be loved, so I think Ismail (the second husband) didn't love me, and we broke up later

      I give five stars to Deplechan's persistence and feelings. Rarely does what could be a private memory go to the nitty-gritty, over and over again, without ever straying from the point; in the end his work forms a giant picture, Paul or Ismail or Nora or Esther or Kang. , their stories are smeared over and over again on the thick private emotional history, rich and soft, delicate and...

      In France, there are many such super-long literary and artistic family dramas of two and a half minutes, which constantly challenge the audience's bottom line of patience. The opening of the film is slowly told with two independent stories: Nora, who runs an art museum, and her son Elias, re-established a new family. At this time, the bad news of his father's critical illness came. On the other hand, they lived together for seven years and played the violin. Her ex-husband, Ismaël, also ran...
