It's not just an erotic film. The gradual exposure of their respective lives has created a sense of suspense. At the same time, there is a flow of love and desire. The double setbacks in love and career make the two cherish each other, and it is difficult to judge their love for each other this night. Whether for mutual comfort.
The entire film is confined to a hotel room with paintings and sculptures decorated with artistic flair. And these paintings are not only decoration, the painting depicting the Greek market is the inspiration for the story of Alba's escape from the Arabian court; Alberti in another Renaissance oil painting may suggest that Natacha's fiancé is a person she reveres; near the end of the film, Alba faints She was helped into the bathtub, and in a surreal style, she was shot by Cupid's arrow on the ceiling. When the non-existent "arrow" was pulled out, she also regained her consciousness, suggesting that she was sinking into unrealistic love, and finally will be killed by lust.
It is not so much that the two fell in love overnight, it is better to say that they are trying to find themselves in the process of narrating their own lives. When they all say that they have not been unfaithful to their respective partners, it not only shows that they cannot truly love each other, and that they will inevitably drift apart after meeting, it also shows that they are separated from them on this night.
The open ending once again blurs the nature of the relationship between the two, as well as the boundaries between true and false, reality and fantasy. The camera almost never leaves the room, and what happens outside the "room" is beyond the scope of this film.
