Paul, his suicidal wife and Jeanne are actually living in their own world, seemingly intimate relationship, do you really know what the other person is thinking? I always feel that compared to his wife's tragic and decisive suicide and leaving him, what Paul can't accept is that he doesn't know why she did this. It is a denial of everything in the past. The body is close, but the soul is far away. What kind of sadness? If you are unfortunate enough to have met such a person in your life, I believe you will understand his heart-piercing pain.
And Paul's relationship with Jeanne, I think, is an obvious empathy, and he uses this to seek psychological balance. Jeanne's recklessness finally brought a ray of light to Paul's gray life. He wanted to catch it, but was rejected by Jeanne, and finally fell in a pool of blood. Is this telling us that no one can save us except ourselves. . .
