If it is to show the psychological changes of actresses at different ages, the complex rules of the entertainment industry, and the pursuit of newcomers in the age of entertainment, then this film is also qualified.
Except for those flashy and noisy spotlights, heavy makeup, and very personal and incomprehensible lines, the plot of the confrontation in the life of Maria and the assistant only touched me. Maria is not only immersed in the role of 20 years ago, but also into the emotions of her forty years old. She despises Helena, an aging and failed helpless woman, and in fact she has just experienced emotional setbacks. , experienced the passage of time that had to be admitted. She is no longer a fresh girl, even if her every move is free and easy to disdain the world, she can be accepted and sought after by people. For the environment in which an actor lives, she is a little detached from it, disdainful, and eager to be loved and feel the amazing eyes of people. It was the years she lost without realizing it.
When Maria was in such a complicated state of mind and she emotionally integrated into the new role, the female assistant who played opposite her completely became her emotional sustenance. Valentine has an exciting appearance, free and independent wildness, and the distance between them is less than ten centimeters. Valentin mentioned Maria's jealousy several times, as well as the line "everyone knows but she doesn't know", just like Maria herself at this time, relying on a lot without knowing it. The most wonderful thing about the plot is that the lines and life are separated, and the emotions are in the same line. What Maria was very resistant to accepting was not only the role of Helena, but also her irresistible former brilliance. Valentin was also shining and charming like her former self.
And young Sigurd, who played the role of a new actress, was dazzling like a new star. The media followed her all the time. They did not pay attention to the tribute in the film remake and Maria's changes. Instead, they paid attention to the scandal of the newcomer, just like the eyes of the entertainment industry. And Maria's request for the newcomer to stay, and the reflection of the people in the play, please stop time, please stop your eyes.

    Theater, film, novel, music, and other literary styles constitute the backbone (representation relationship) of the film, so let's call it a meta-literary film. Assayas came at his fingertips. Both the play and the play within the play revolve around two actresses, but the attention is all taken away by Binoche's assistant, who is not only beautiful and fashionable, but the only normal woman in it, she doesn't take on the drama - she's reflexive , abruptly left the scene in the middle, mocking the hollow life world of other characters.

    The structure of the script is excellent. It has the classical tradition of European literary films, and it does not reject the present and try to conform to it; the relationships and issues discussed are complex, but the filming is very clever, and it kneels down to Binoche's acting skills every minute. In addition, watching Maloya's Snake on the big screen is very shocking and transcends the existence of time.
