1. The crisis of middle-aged actresses is mixed with reflection on the role of women in male society
2. The homosexuality of middle-aged women towards young women is similar to "Footprints". A homosexual obsession extends to an obsession with life and youth, using sex as a source of energy.
3. Actresses, their background group portraits, their duality, and their many shackles different from male actors.
4. A play and the feminism he wanted to show. Conflict between different age groups of female roles, a transformation of the oppressive level of an angry daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law.
These four relationships and contradictions overturned each other, one after another, interspersed in all aspects, a movie seems to be a national exhibition hall, one time it goes into the China pavilion, the other time it goes into the Swiss pavilion, and the other time it goes into the Korean pavilion. Excuse me, what is the theme of this exhibition?
The actor's performance was extremely disappointing.
Juliet Binoche may be the arrogant linguistic and cultural milieu of the French, or it may be her middle-aged urgency that makes her performance in the last few English-language films extremely disappointing. Think of "Red, Blue and White" and "Paris, I Love You". The oppression of women in French society is a very, very good subject, and the story of this film is also a very good entry point, but perhaps the director (absolutely blameless, there are big problems with casting and direction), Juliet is very Effort, Stewart, as always, but there is no spark between the two, which makes the movie bland. The only bright spot is the young actress, not how well she performs, but at least her role is explosive.
The slow-paced, detailed
plot and scenes have nothing to do with the story. It seems that a film was made in the form of a documentary. The director set up the camera and began to follow the whole process of Juliet as a middle-aged actress taking on a certain drama. This isn't a movie, it's like 200 news photos were taken and put on the newspaper, and the reader is left to find the clearest one. Later, when I saw that the director was the one who directed "Carlos the Lone Wolf", I understood that that film is the representative of the running account. This kind of director can also be chosen again and again, which is really a phenomenon unique to France.
This movie reminds me of the Korean movie "Actresses" with the same theme. It is also about the conflicts between different generations of actresses, the stories of actresses themselves and the duality of actresses as women. Character selection, plot grasp and rhythm grasp are far stronger than this film.
