Personal experience under historical events is a playful way to write history. History, because it is personal history, is embedded in a pile of palpable flesh. Individuals also acquire a certain depth and meaning because of their position in the background of the times. The film unfolds from the perspective of American student Matthew. Rather, it is a re-examination of the passion and dream of Paris in 1968 with an American pragmatic attitude.
As an outsider, Matthew is dragged alive into the erotic world of the Theo brothers and sisters and historical moments on the streets of Paris. Although a fascination with movies provides a common platform for the three, Matthew is always clear-headed, even cautious; for the Theos, movies are life. They commemorate that moment with virgin blood, with sex/disorder.
The film pointedly pointed out the narcissistic temperament of 68 Europe, young people blurred the relationship between reality and the mirror image of the film, and finally realized the unbreakable relationship between Theo and Isabel, who are mirror images of each other. At the end, the two brothers and sisters rushed to the street with adolescence without hesitation; Matthew turned back and left.
Some verses come to mind when Matthew and Isabel make love for the first time. I only remember "The Virgin's Blood", it was the last year of the 1980s, the poet and the girl had sex under the desk, outside, the wind and the rain.
