A woman's heart, a cloud in the sky

The mountains of Sils, Switzerland, are shrouded in mist, and these serpent-like fantasy clouds are like the heart of a woman, elusive.

There are three female characters in this film. When the

heroine Maria was 18 years old, she took over the filming of "Snake of Maloya", about the middle-aged female entrepreneur Helena, who fell in love with the young girl Xi The story of Gerd, who was finally abandoned by Sigurd and committed suicide after being traumatized. As a young Maria, her role as Sigurd became an instant hit and became Europe's most recognizable star. 20 years later, she was invited to play Helena, which created a huge psychological gap.
Maria is played by the famous French actor Juliette Binoche. The role of Maria has too many similarities with herself, so Juliet is real and natural. The heroine's entanglement and confusion at the beginning, resistance and pain, and later calmness and calmness are vividly portrayed.

The young girl Valentin is Maria's personal assistant. She temporarily played Sigurd to help Maria with the lines. As the rehearsal progressed, the relationship between the two gradually underwent subtle changes. Finally, Valentin couldn't stand Maria's criticism and left her.
The role was cast by American actress Kristen Stewart. Christine, who became famous all over the world for "Twilight", is as cool as ever. Especially her voice, deep and hoarse, reveals a strong sense of fashion. She has a strong personality and is really suitable for this role.

Starring Sigurd is Joanne, the latest teen icon. She is smart, beautiful, and casual.
The actor is Chloe Grace Moretz, a young American idol who is seven years younger than Christine. What's interesting is that in the play in this film, she also has a sci-fi scene.

Three women with different personalities perfectly performed this scene together. Play is like life, life is like play. When Maria and Valentin confronted the lines, the audience couldn't tell whether Maria was playing herself or Helena. Just like the whole play Juliet seems to be playing herself. Maybe after releasing herself in the play, Juliet will bloom more calmly at her age.
Time passes mercilessly, and it is also a pleasure to sit and watch the clouds rise calmly.

    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.
