The Chinese translation of this film is "My King". From the title, this film is different from many other films of the same theme, exuding a unique French charm.
Female lawyer Tony meets Georgio, a handsome, charming and wealthy restaurant manager at a bar, and soon falls into a crazy love. Tony was deeply attracted by Georgio's casualness and romance. Even though he was a life-blooded, bohemian, and he only dated models before, Tony thought she could domesticate this man. In the past ten years, the two have experienced marriage and childbirth, intimacy, estrangement, suspicion, reconciliation, parting ways... In
ten years, they have experienced the best and the worst of each other. Maybe it wasn't until the end that Tony realized that
all good and bad, love and hate, were meant to be.
She can never tell that she doesn't love him, and he will always be his king.

Despite the jewels ahead, "My King" is still a successful attempt by director Maïwenn. Different from the other works mentioned above, the director did not choose to balance the narrative conventions of the hero and heroine, but from the heroine's point of view, through her observations and memories, to present the bits and pieces of such a relationship. While creating a vivid and charming male protagonist, it also allows the audience to experience the pain and struggle of the female protagonist. Perhaps only a female director can stand on a woman's point of view and carry out such a delicate interpretation and profound thinking on such a relationship between the two sexes. It can't help but make people guess that Maïwenn also mixed personal emotional experience when writing the script.
The film adopts a two-line narrative, one line is Tony's recovery in a nursing home, and the other is the memory of the relationship between the hero and heroine. This kind of narrative is not new, but it is still very special, and it is just right for this film. The interweaving of love and hate, reality and memory, physical recovery and psychological torture, through clever editing, it tells a rich, full and twists and turns love story through clever editing, with Parisian lightness and harmony. sexy.
