Not counting the first long shot that echoes and brings the audience into the theater, the entire film is 96 minutes long, with only one stage scene, two actors, simple props, and "hand-to-hand" props and costumes, you can easily move the story through the stage play. Between the unreal and the "reality" in the film, the unobtrusive play within the play, harmonious and unified, makes the esadetism confrontation and feminism back and forth, full of drama.
At the beginning, the story tells that a director who is a representative of real power is in a theater, complaining endlessly to the actress who comes to the interview, and the actress who comes in a hurry is begging for the opportunity to be interviewed only for a chance to get a job. . With the beginning of the director's audition for the actress, we know that this is an adaptation of the story of the Marquis de Sade. Different from the weakness and ignorance shown by the actress at the beginning, she began to integrate with the heroine Wanda in the play. , becomes mysterious and charming, and the powerful director begins to appreciate the actress instead of obsessed. It seems that the relationship between offense and defense has changed. The two sometimes participate in the play, and sometimes they discuss the core of the "Sade" story. The symbol of the male director's power begins to gradually shift. The drama has become his sanctimonious disguise. Nas equally accused his perverted heart and that the sexist tale, Thad, was nothing but a reflection of his desires and needs. The director who was exposed was angry while enjoying the pleasure brought by shame. At the end of the play, the goddess's feminism finally completely surpassed the hypocritical power of men.
The table and chairs that look minimalist should tell a story with a sense of film, rather than look like a stage documentary. It is a test of the master's superb control over the film and the powerful expressiveness of the actors. The changing lights on the stage, the movements of the actors, and the subtle and pun intended lines make people wander in the "play" and "play within a play", but they never leave the core of the story, so that when the curtain ends, there is a sense of unfinished business.
Polanski old man, without a trace of nudity, is extremely provocative, sadistic and itchy.
