He's so good, so it doesn't belong to anyone

This French film tells the story of an ordinary woman who struggles to reach a man above her level, experiences a love-hate relationship, and finally breaks up.
This is not a play that is afraid of being spoiled, because the wonderful part of it is not the plot, but the pictures, dialogue, emotional tension between the actors and other details. The heroine's performance is very natural and smooth, but anyone who has ever had the experience of loving someone with a look-up attitude will empathize with the heroine's emotions. The director's various presumptuous close-ups of Vincent Carlo infinitely magnify his already overflowing personal charm.
According to more than half a year of watching the movie, it is still hard to forget the scene where the two met in the bar.
The two had sex for the first time. Afterwards, the heroine always worried that she would not be able to satisfy the male lead. The male lead's joking answer was actually very considerate. The female protagonist asked the male protagonist if he was also a scumbag. The male protagonist said that he was the king of scumbags. The conversation on the topic also foreshadowed the final outcome.
In fact, during the entire viewing process, I did not feel the scum of the male lead, only a kind of thorough sadness throughout. Even if people who are not in the same world are forcibly entangled together, the entire relationship will inevitably be unfortunate in the end, especially the low-profile party. Probably only those who have experienced such an unbalanced relationship can understand the sour taste.
The heroine was tortured physically and mentally and finally decided to end the relationship and come out completely, which is a good thing. But in the scene where they finally met, the heroine was still wearing the watch given by the hero. This is the biggest sadness in the whole play. You think you have come out. In fact, the person who hurt you the most can still let you enjoy the wonderful taste of heaven and the eternal hell, as long as he is willing.
The drama of the heroine's knee injury recovery process is a little procrastinated and trivial, but this kind of trivial thought does not make people feel bored, this is the unique charm of the French, I give 5 points. Hope to see the director's masterpiece again.
