Beauty of the Moon", written and directed by François Ozon , released in France on May 16, 2013.
The heroine, the French girl Isabella, lives with Mama, her stepfather, and her younger brother, and goes to high school in a famous middle school in Paris.
One summer after her 17th birthday, she began to grow and transform.
Perhaps a broken family will always lead to a person's precocious puberty, and her inner loneliness and curiosity and desire for sex make her embark on the road of aided dating.
She posted messages about dating aid on the Internet. On weekdays, he is a student studying in school, but on weekends, he will put on his mother's suit to go out and out of high-end hotels, meet with men and negotiate prices.
The film's narrative is flat, and Isabella is able to switch between the two identities freely, and she maintains this secret.
Until one day, an elderly grandfather died of a heart attack when the two were indescribable. The police got Isabella's photo and found her mother.
The family found out about it.
In fact, from the film, it seems that Isabella is not short of money. Mama is a doctor. The red envelope sent by her biological father on Christmas and birthday is 500 euros. Her stepfather has two long vacations a year, in a beautiful villa in the center of Paris. ,
and she "earned" the money she never spent, just put it in a small bag.
At the end of the film, the girl Isabella and the wife of the deceased old man are lying on the bed of the hotel where he died. I don't know why, it feels amazing.
Director Ou Rong has always kept the camera outside the story. There is no moral judgment or deliberate alienation. It seems that he just watches it quietly. Ou Rong's calm and objective statement allows us to see his open-mindedness and tolerance, and also makes us viewers have more interpretations of the plot.
In my personal opinion, the confusion and loneliness of adolescence is the real reason why she chooses to support dating. In this French romantic film, there is no sense of morality, just one's youth.
Everything is an experience. 17 years old, still very young. But it's spring, summer, autumn, winter and another spring. Suddenly I thought of a sentence in "1984": "The fragrant air of April seduced him."
In this film, maybe it can be said "The lonely longing of the four seasons exiled her."
ps. No, the heroine is too beautiful, I really want to Scroll the entire movie to take a screenshot.
