This person has also filmed a lesbian movie called Melissa before, but I couldn't watch it at the beginning because it was too cliché and too unexpected. To be honest, this film would be mediocre without Tilda Swinton.
The story is not complicated, it is a story of Mrs. Chatterley in a big bourgeois family.
Art seems to have an enmity with the big bourgeoisie. This movie strives to make the daughter-in-law living in the big family look lonely and lonely.
Having said that, living in that class would be really tiring if it weren’t for the ears and eyes since birth, because you have to stand up all day long, you have to marvel at a drama, and you have to come up with endless witty words when you eat a dish and a tea, if it’s not Who can not be tired from growing up with such an education?
The role of Tilda Swinton is a young Russian girl, married to Milan, unaccompanied, good wife, good mother, so stiff every day, tenderly smiling, doing good food, accepting her in-laws, doing her duty, and going to the dry cleaner to pick up clothes in person She arranged a family banquet, and she sat upstairs knitting for her son’s birthday party, because sometimes the prosperity was so prosperous that people wanted to escape.
Her escape port was a friend of her son’s, born in poverty, and personally planted a variety of organic crops in the mountains (!), and cooked good dishes-lust and food are always inseparable-with a beard. Small body, no money, and don't care about money-the director, do you dare to let him be on the left?
I can understand all the charms of this man that attracted the role of Swinton-nature, environmental protection, and all the big words, but to be honest, there is no masculine charm at all in casting. This is probably also the general trend of male protagonists in recent years, slender body, feminine, leftist, vegetarian, and politically correct to the point that I can't bear to watch. I don't like this kind of neutral man very much. But having said that, in such a movie, against the general trend of Swinton's husband's family patriarchal, probably such a poetic, weak, and feminine man is needed. I have no idea.
Swinton's daughter fled the family's escape port, she chose to fall in love with the same sex. Lesbians seem to be an inescapable complex in this director's film. A fellow male to be identified.
So Swinton can understand his daughter, he doesn't make evaluations or judges, just understands. The director seems to want to say that in this Italian-style patriarchal family, women's love and tolerance are the only salvation and way out? It's really old-fashioned.
The scene where the hero and the heroine meets in the wild in the mountains made me laugh, because thinking about the animal world, and some of the dubbing films of the early CCTV, it is also when the scene of passion suddenly cuts into the landscape, the bee digs into the flower, you can almost Hearing teacher Zhao Zhongxiang’s vigorous voice: "It’s the spring season again, and the season of animal mating..." It’s too much!
This film has a beautiful opening and majestic atmosphere. The big family arranges the dinner scene from the kitchen to the dinner in one go. The camera follows the heroine walking in this exquisite little world, her eyes are quiet, her smile is meticulous, and the music is ready to move. Tilda Swinton's performance alone, in my opinion, saved the movie. There was a scene where she was socializing with a big client of a husband, an Indian, but she didn't speak English very much. At that moment, I believed that she could not speak English at all. Probably no other English-speaking actor can do this.
The film is very relevant. I am love, Swinton is love itself. I even think that the object of her love, the lover-like man of Mrs. Chatterley, is not important, because the theme of this movie is her beauty and sadness alone.
