The afterthought I just wrote was not published successfully. I don't want to rewrite it.
Rewatching this film after more than ten years, basically I think that although this literary film was shot from the angle of anais, the camera allows us to peep into anais, heart and behavior from various angles, especially the one that has been used for a long time. close up.
The bi-sexuality in this is quite problematic. Why did june find the affair of anais when he was having sex and couldn't accept it.
The interesting thing is that there is Bunel's "An Andalusian Dog" in it. Anais and Henry are of course support surrealists, but Anais' image is too beautiful and dignified. She doesn't have Bunel's kind of pairing in the movie from her behavior to her clothes. The irony of the middle class, let alone exposing its ugliness. June is portrayed in the movie as a vulgar, erotic, and a woman with a mentally abusive tendencies, which is also related to her class. Therefore, this film is also a literary film. When I saw the soft light on june, I couldn't help but sigh that this is not the usual technique of exploitation cinema.
There is a Paris Lara bar, and there is a handsome T with style. As for the exhibitionist performance, it is too curious. Although the method of switching the foreground and background with a mirror is not new, the tension of that scene is still quite good.
