      an end that will never be reached

      "Under the Sand" was filmed in 2000, and the heroine Charlotte Rampling was a British actress who was 55 years old at the time. From the movie poster, her face doesn't fit the Le Monde review in any way - "Charlotte Rampling's face makes François Ozon's films shine." But when I saw that shot, I was completely convinced:

      Marie lay on her back on the bed, fantasizing that two men, one left and one right, took off her shoes, stroking her legs, then her body, then her face. The hands of...

      Everyone is an island.

      The protagonist's main 観 を そ の ま ま Ying し し し technique. Looking at it, I always feel that the style of this movie seems to have been seen before. Later, I checked that it was actually shot by Ou Rong. Finally, the quiet dead space in the noisy seaside and the space inside this まぼろし I feel are integrated. How do people face loneliness and make choices. Get used to being alone and face reality. It seems that everyone will experience it more or less. The heroine and her husband are so close to...

      question without saying goodbye

      Thinking of leaving without saying goodbye from the film

      There are 10,000 undeclared reasons for leaving without saying goodbye to the other party, and they are all the final judgments on this intimate relationship after their serious analysis and definition, so they can walk cleanly without leaving any traces of wind.

      The film shows the result of a kind of people left behind (most people's late-night panic,...

      truth and nothingness

      It's the penultimate Ozon's film, and I also find it strange. The character and emotion of this one are so indifferent, why is it not imported in China?

      The first long scene is that the male and female protagonists take advantage of the holiday to go to a farm in the suburbs. At the beginning, the two drive alternately, take a break at the rest stop, and when the two ask each other to do something, it is already seen that the husband and wife have spent...

      The truth under the sand

      It is said that François Ou Rong is a director who understands women very well. From "Family of Lost Souls", "Under the Sand" to "Eight Beauties", Ou Rong's heroines are so distinctive and lifelike. "Under the Sand" tells the story of a woman who begins to deceive herself after her husband disappears.

      A middle-aged man and woman, driving alternately, came to a country house for vacation. Clean the room, make a fire in the fireplace, eat dinner and sleep. In the first ten minutes of...

      A few are unclear but make it even more precious: was the deceased her husband? Who was the last person she saw on the beach, a phantom of her willing husband or the real husband who had left him, or someone else? The sea at night is so...

      The heroine was brought to England by her profession as a professor of English literature. She likes Woolf's "The Waves" and will recite Woolf's suicide note. So does this eccentric woman have to have something to do with the UK to be...

    Jean and Marie have been happily married for over 20 years. Their days are leisurely and peaceful. This summer, they came to the country villa for vacation as in previous years.

She had to call the beach guards and the police to conduct a thorough search of the beach,...

    Evaluation action

    At first glance, the film seems to be influenced by "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", which is a bit mysterious, but when the audience watches it with similar expectations, they will find that there is no mysterious hidden behind the peaceful life. What is shown is just how a woman overcomes this sudden spiritual crisis and slowly and painfully accepts the fact of bereavement.
    The director categorically rejected the use of sensational...
