The film uses black and white photography, and the picture feels very comfortable and a bit beautiful. (I know from other film reviews that it is Ozon's royal photography. It belongs to a long-term partner.) The
film uses small suspense to advance the plot, so in the process of watching the film, although it is a general feature film, it does not feel "tired". , Don't feel annoying, there is always patience to watch.
In the presentation of the plot, when the protagonist is lying, the pictures described are in color. This tells us that the director uses black and white to express reality and color to express lies.
The soundtrack is very particular and is very appropriate to the plot. But I can’t tell how relevant it is. If you watch too many movies, then you watch domestic movies and TV series, and you will think why domestic movies are rubbish.
The clip that gave me the biggest impact for the first time was in the Frantz Cemetery. The male lead dialogue + photography + soundtrack. It was a very good editing. See the master's level.
The handling of the ending is very mysterious: the hostess told the old German couple in a letter that she was doing very well, and then she matched the color picture. It is emphasized again that the plot of color processing is a lie of the protagonist. And I don’t know when to return to Germany, because I like Paris very much.
Then the heroine went to see Manet's "Suicide". The man who was also concerned about "Suicide" in the museum looked like the hero but was not. The hostess sat down and looked at the painting. (It's still black and white at this time). Then the heroine told the man why she liked the painting: it gave me the courage to live. (At this time, the screen turns to color, and the image processing tells us the ending of a heroine.) The film ends, cleanly.
A good movie uses pictures, few lines, editing and other techniques to convey the development of the plot, rather than relying on lines to explain the development of the plot like a TV series.
