The first two works written, directed and acted by himself made Xavier Dolan seem very narcissistic. This time, his narcissism became more obscure and deep. The 159-minute "reluctant" cut length is enough to explain. At the same time, he The tentacles eager to explore also stretched longer. He went from simply focusing on growth, sexual orientation, and gender relations to trying to eliminate gender and the gray area between normal people and marginalized people. His sincere and highly autobiographical unique style better serves his narrative. He is no longer constrained by the overly frivolous age of 23. He began to try to find stories from the people around him, although it is not very much. The story of "transgender" is fresh and even a bit vulgar, but he did tell it in a unique, amazing, and recognizable way, which is really gratifying.
Large saturated colorful, bright and fresh tones, the use of large color blocks, the use of monochromatic colors, the symmetrical closed composition, and the unusually playful sound game. These personal elements continue to increase in the film. At the same time, Xavier Doo Lan also began to use a small amount of going out-style open composition, a large depth of field lens with a strong sense of depth, and so on. His unorganized "random" editing, the accumulation of continuous close-up shots, and neurotic hand-held photography suddenly had a certain effect, and the intense collision of sadomasochism overflowed, like drops of charming purple psychedelic liquid.
Xavier Dolan’s taste in color, clothing, and music is naturally not worth mentioning, but what is gratifying is that he has also made new breakthroughs in his dialogue and humor this time, elegant hysteria, and intellectual ridicule. , The precise and low-spoken words, of course, there will always be people who think that they are all nonsense and nonsense. In terms of actors, the leading actor, Melvil Poupaud, has changed from a simple "bad man" to an unscrupulous "transgender". The leading actress Suzanne Clément is getting better, and the supporting actress is not Nia Jokuri (the heroine of "Fantasy Love") calmly expresses completely different emotions with the same expression. Xavier Dolan himself only loomed at the party for a while, full of ambition. Look like.
The artificial snowflakes flying all over the sky under the "Destiny" symphony, the cold water falling vertically from the roof and waking up dreamers and expressionless crying, the eye-catching purple windbreaker on the bright black island and the colorful colors falling from the sky are for lyrical expression. The falling leaves in the sky, the black butterfly flying out of the mouth, painted Paul Eluya's "freedom" on the smile of Mona Lisa. Fortunately, Xavier Dolan has too many masters to learn from He inherited, but he was lucky to find the "evil way" that best suits his movie temperament.
I like the passages of the heroes and heroines in the enclosed space in the car. In the small enclosed space, the emotions of the heroes and heroines are completely released through the language of the images. They are casual and wanton, unlike a 23-year-old young gay. Hand, this intense emotional tension was something he could not do in the last two movies. The passages where the protagonist Lawrence met several singers made me a little worried that this young man would fall into the extravagant black hole prematurely. After all, they were all extravagant tricks played by the master after he became famous. Xavier Dolan is still too far away from there. , It’s too late to play after twenty or thirty years.
Those who feel pale, weak and crooked after watching the three movies, please let go as soon as possible. Xavier Dolan is obviously not your food. No matter how well the story is told, no matter how sharply told it, I can remember him, he can catch me, anyway, he is Xavier Dolan, he is handsome and talented there. , Do you like it or not.
