The film depicts the day when a gay man was killed by a car accident and his lover was the last day of his life. On this day, he started trying to end his life with a pistol in the morning, talked about vulnerable groups and death in work and teaching, and then met a young male student who had spiritual and physical attraction to him, The exchange, communication, and spark between the two seemed to make him feel the vitality of life again. However, that night, a heart attack took him out of this world.
This is a melancholy film. The protagonist's repressed emotions pervade from beginning to end. The strong yearning for his lover gives him a disgust for life. Most of the time, the color of the film is deep and gray, but the neighbors The girl he was dating, the dinner party with friends, and the encounter with the young student gave him a fresh sense of life again. I have to say that this fashion designer's grasp of color and precise requirements for clothing fully show the characteristics of an era. It is very pleasant to watch him tell stories quietly and watch him present a beautiful world. Things - old gay clothes, home design, elegant and delicate, girlfriend's furniture decoration also has a unique charm, of course, the use of male color, the warm smile of ex-boyfriend, the smart eyes of students, beautiful body, everything is just right. I won't say how profound the narrative technique, structure, and deep connotation of this film is. But tom used his skills as a designer to tell us a story, a story he was about to experience, maybe he only intended to tell richard, but we also enjoyed it by the way, who called him one of the world's What about the important "beauty creator"?
This film is a gift for lovers. If you receive such a gift, will you be moved? --I guess I've been sobbing a long time ago.
