The old director Paul Verhoeven has a consistent creative idea. After watching the recent work "The Virgin", and looking back at the 2016 film, it is in the same line. Fan Dao likes to see people's distorted values and attitudes towards life. He is good at starting from the perspective of women and seeing people around them, including the social system. It is said that Fan Dao once specially studied with the nuns. A lot of the tone of the film is a crime thriller, and I think it's more of a French black comedy that satirizes the sick crowd around. It can be said that everyone in the film has a "sickness", a distorted family status, a distorted view of love, marriage, a distorted hobby orientation, and a distorted view of work. The focus of this film is to criticize and ridicule these people. The main line of this article is clear. Although there are many characters, they are not messy. Everyone's "disease" has obvious characteristics. This is Fan Dao's skill. With a line of suspense, all kinds of characters appear one after another. Finally, in the case of letting you basically guess who the "bad guy" is, the result is reversed. The recommended index is 80/100. If you like Fan Dao's style, you can take a look.
