Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1993, and finally won two Best Actor and Best Director.
Purely learning to watch the film, a very annoying film. It's Ally Rohmer's same thing again, talkative, talkative. I found out that there are only a few types of award-winning films: if you do not learn from Abbas and Hou Hsiao-hsien, if you don't cut, I won't cut! Otherwise you learn Rohmer, daobidaobidaobidao! If you can't do it, you can still learn from Bergman and Akira Kurosawa,...

Loneliness is the norm in life
Let's take a guess at the director's true intentions.
The film begins with a sexual affair in a remote alley. Every sexual affair becomes a new beginning of pain. What should have been an elegant and emotional event turned into a scene under Mike Lee's lens. Rough and annoying. These rough movements and personal pain continue to entangle, eventually forming a huge vortex that keeps everyone out of the way, except, of course, John's ex-girlfriend. We can imagine that this is a bystander set...

Dialogue and the World of Consciousness
Speaking of this film, I watched it about twice, and I was impressed by the large number of dialogues of the characters with super fast speech speed and
many dialogues with religious elements, which is difficult to understand. The difficulty in understanding the dialogue of the characters is the shortcoming of my understanding of this film.
In my opinion, rather than telling a story, director Mikeley is describing the protagonist's extremely rich world of consciousness. As the...

This film is obscure and gray. These two words are pronounced together,
and all the small life episodes recorded in the film bring the audience such an atmosphere.
The opening shot is a scene of a rapist and screaming under the street lights in the middle of the night.
Almost all the subsequent plots are led by this tone, and it is a movie that makes me depressed. This is different from the depression of watching
"Tanuki Palace".
Jonny, the male...

Everyone living in London is lonely....

A scorchingly painful, bleakly hopeless, cynically anti-heroic impromptu tour de force steeped in philosophical self-destruction that leaves an equivocally heartening aftertaste, thanks to Thewlis' utterly committed performance of eloquence, nihilism and menacing...

With sexual anxiety and violence, it is a metaphor for human emptiness and...

An opinionated and learned talker, full of disappointment in real life. Depression, decadence, despair, why are so many British films about youth in this tone, suffocating. ....
Johnny: You from Scotland?
Archie: EH?
Johnny: Are you Scots?
Archie: Aye.
Johnny: What's it like up there?
Archie: Fuckin' shite.
Johnny: D'you dream in Scotch?
Archie: Eh?
Johnny: Like dream about sporran-clad, caber-tossing haggis galloping over porridge-covered glens?
Archie: FUCKIN' shite!
Johnny: Look, if you take the whole of time and represent it by one year, were only in the first few moments of the first of January. There's a long way to go. Only now were not going to spout extra limbs and wings and fins because evolution itself is evolving. When it comes, the apocalypse itself will be part of the process of that leap of evolution.
Brian: Yeah, well. Whatever happens mankind will not cease to exist
Johnny: We must! By the very definition of apocalypse, mankind must cease to exist, at least in a material form.
Brian: What do you mean, in a material form?
Johnny: We will evolve.
Brian: What into?
Johnny: We'll evolve into something that transcends matter, into a species of pure thought. Are you with me?
Brian: Yeah, like a ghost.
Johnny: Not like a fucking ghost you big girl's blouse! Into something thats well beyond our comprehension. Into a universal consciousness. Into God. Who is by the same principle that time is.
Brian: You don't believe in God
Johnny: Of course I believe in God!
Jeremy: You've got wonderful breasts.
Masseuse: Don't you mean "tits"?
Jeremy: Are they both the same size, or is one bigger than the other?
Masseuse: I don't know. D'you want to weigh them?
Jeremy: [waitress pops champagne cork] Is that a proposition?
Masseuse: No, it's a threat... Are you rich?
Jeremy: [messily eating fried chicken] Life is for enjoying.
Masseuse: What about family? Have you got any brothers or sisters?
Jeremy: I try not to remember.
Masseuse: You're sexually frustrated, aren't you?
Jeremy: [chortles and snickers]
Masseuse: What's funny?
Jeremy: Are you a feminist?
Masseuse: No.
Jeremy: Do you like fucking?
Masseuse: Do you like wanking?
Jeremy: Not on my own, no.
Jeremy: [licks his fingers]
