Those who are very rich in their hearts can truly be honored and disgraced

Aunt Huppert is a symbol of good French movies, and movies with her are always amazing.

"Things to Come" tells the story of a woman's first half of her life.

She is a college philosophy teacher, middle-class, with a husband of 25 years, a son and a daughter, and a mother who suffers from depression. In the first half of her life, she handled everything well, and her family and career never fell behind. In her early 50s, while dealing with the trivial matters of life, her husband, who she thought had loved each other for many years, suddenly told her that he had cheated and was moving in with his lover.

The heroine faced the failure of marriage after middle age, the death of her mother, and the emergence of Waterloo in her career, her life did not collapse. It's not that she can't bear her husband, it's just that she can't bear the memories she once left. She accepted her husband's departure peacefully, so that she would rather live alone than continue. She regrets her mother's final regretful death, but she can also accept the joys and sorrows of life.

How strong is on the outside, how great is on the inside.

Only those who are rich in spirit can truly be free from shame and honor and face the ups and downs in life calmly.

Aunt Huppert did a great job. He manages all emotions such as forbearance, freedom, love, tenacity, and relief very well, and plays the appearance of a frustrated middle-aged woman in a lively and delicate manner, helpless and calm.

Aunt Huppert is like a girl

Aunt Huppert dresses very well in the movie, and French women really live exquisitely wherever and whenever.

    When she reaches middle age, she has experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, but for her, she is relieved and everything has just begun. Swift pace, about philosophy and the future: a French version of "Women Forty". To be honest, it's not too difficult for Aunt Yu Peer to play such a middle-class intellectual woman, but a post-80s female director who wrote such a life script really deserves the Silver Bear Award~

    The narration like French prose is slow and slow, but it has insight into another possibility of looking at life: losing everything but giving birth to a sense of freedom. Whether it is Schopenhauer or Levinas, their philosophies are the best annotations for this spirit. Probably only Aunt Huppert could express this state naturally and calmly. Looking out the car window on the muddy beach you just stepped on, the future can be safely put into time.
