The image brought by black and white film is full of tension. It is a contemporary love story full of anxiety and anxiety. The film is completely shot in indoor scenes. Therefore, the actors choose to sacrifice the scene and use the actors’ tight lines to fill in the contradictions of the characters in a dramatic way. , Like doing interlocking math problems.
The excessively annoying dialogue between men and women and the restrained use of the lens make the film maintain a proper distance from the viewer as a stage play, emotionally building up anger in a progressive architectural way and at the same time killing the so-called love. Exhausted. In the film, you can see the shadow of Fellini ("Sweet Life") and the path of Antonioni's modern love trilogy ("Adventure", "Night" and "Eclipse").
I remember the end of the film, that was the moment when I returned to Fellini, by the fountain, before the kiss, and dawn, everything changed. The camera that witnessed the two people quarreling was left indoors with our viewers, and together with the shaking camera, they cast their eyes to the two people who were approaching outside the window, both close at hand and far apart. This also returns to Antonioni's moment, which is "Adventure" in 1960. I love you or I still love you or I love you but can't get close to you, there is no answer at this moment.
Fortunately, we stand together now.
