The famous work of the French new wave director Anne Huada, showing the process of the heroine of the film waiting for the medical examination report from 5:00 to 7:00 in the afternoon, This one-and-a-half-hour real-time movie reminded me of Before Sunset a few years ago, and then I suddenly realized that the last paragraph of this film is a mini-version of Before Sunrise. Sure enough, the Before series is a fake French film.
However, the pace of this one and a half hour is a little tight, it may be that the heroine is in a state of anxiety, and then she lives in the city of Paris and lives a flashy life. Walk a few steps, take a car, you can go shopping, meet friends, relax and have a romantic encounter. But under the surface of romance, the film has always been driven by the fear of death behind the heroine's pursuit of a beautiful appearance, romantic feelings and an elegant life, all of which have produced contradictions and confrontations with the possible end of her life. At the same time, the film also looks at the corner of Paris and the crowd at that time through her state and vision, and of course also mentions the shadow of contemporary war. Although nothing major happened in the plot, the director's scheduling and perspective enriched the film.
Maybe people's life or civilization is the process of cherishing the desire to survive, looking at the future and the distance, and gradually moving towards the end of death. Did the fortune teller at the end of the film reveal the unknown truth to the audience? Or are the plans and hopes announced by the doctor at the end of the film true? At the moment when the answer has not been announced in the future, maybe you can only live for an hour and a half and find hope for life.
