let's go over there

2018 Cannes Film Festival Best Director Award! It records a trivial and entangled love between two young people who traveled to Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris during the Cold War. Retro and elegant black and white pictures, beautiful and moving folk love songs, love that is doomed to a happy end under ideological confrontation, and even those political traces that are shrouded in the background of love that are shallow but thoughtful... It is not so much a story, It is better to say that it is a prose poem composed of exquisite pictures in series. It is romantic and desperate, and even death is so desperate that there is only an understatement left: Let's go there and see, the scenery there is better! The unbearable lightness of life described by Kundera is probably the case. If it is replaced by a Chinese actor to interpret this story, I believe it will not violate the harmony, because many scenes are also familiar to us!
