If the "meat" cannot be the end point, the "spirit" will become a chrysanthemum that cannot be chewed or swallowed.

1. In terms of technique, the film is as expected, the details are very thoughtful, the beauty of the shots is very good, especially the one shot on the balcony of the heroine's living room is a little suffocating, but I don't think the switching between shots is particularly smooth, maybe it is new Aesthetic.

The overall way of conveying the idea is ingenious, and the texture is very light.

2. The idea that I understand: We will have a strong desire to connect with another person because of "spirit". If this desire cannot end in "flesh", "spirit" will become a bite that cannot be chewed. The chrysanthemum, not up or down, might as well spit it out?

At the end of the film, the two of them lived the life of an ordinary couple, but the whole film ended with no longer dreaming. This kind of setting is also ironic in my opinion. Any delicate and sensitive impulse "spirit" connection will inevitably begin to die out after reaching its expected "flesh" procedural climax. It seems that it is difficult for people to have physical familiarity with each other. After climbing, they can continue to maintain their spiritual curiosity and the sensitivity of mutual perception.

In fact, because in the process of "spirit" communication, most people subconsciously bury their expectations for "flesh", so this kind of "spirit" level judgment is not so rigorous, and many of them are subconscious and playful, so often It was found that the other party "changed" after a period of time, just because the "flesh" was satisfied for a long time, and the judgment on the "spirit" level became more rigorous.

So, where is the separation of "flesh" and "spirit", and where is there a so-called "spirit" higher than "meat"? Postscript, I slowly recalled it for a while, and felt that the director was very smart. She presented some of the typical examples she wanted to talk about in the simplest and most general way, so that everyone could bring it into their own life, without any specific cultural background and experience. .

    First 100 minutes: Well, yes, the audiovisual language is very European, and I can give 5 stars if the ending doesn't go to bed. Ending: WTF? The director of the slaughterhouse is disabled Zhijian and turns into a stag. The obsessive-compulsive girl opens her heart and refuses to welcome back. The two have crossed the age gap to complete the mating? So there is no sexually awakened feminist animal metaphor to eat raw, I thought too much from the beginning. @BJIFF Film Archive

    1. The story of two prickly people practicing how to hug, warm and smart! 2. I like the hostess' house, it's no different from a prison; 3. It's really crazy to eat crumbs everywhere; 4. The scale is a little bigger, and the hall is full of wailing, these people have never seen the world? (The archives are enlarged)
