Erotic thriller in a pot-"Double-sided Lover"
Let’s talk about the movie "Double-faced Lover" today.
The title of the film is L'amant double / Amant Double / The Double Lover (2017), also known as Double Lover (Taiwan) / Splitting Game (Hong Kong).
The French film "Double Lover" is directed by François Ozon François Ozon and is nominated for the Palme d'Or in the main competition of the 70th Cannes International Film Festival.
The final winner of the 70th Cannes Palme d’Or was "The Square", which is different from "Square" which focuses on social issues and tears away people’s masks of hypocrisy. This "Double-faced Lover" focuses on a woman Roy Fortin Chloé Fortin, looking from a small point of view, told about a slightly horrifying self-cognition problem wrapped in an erotic coat.
Marine Vacth plays the heroine of the film Croy Fortin. She is the representative actress of the new generation in France. She is well-known for her "Flowers and Moons" Jeune & Jolie (2013).
Thierry Fremo, the artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival, once revealed: "This year François Ou Jong's new film will give everyone an unprecedented visual impact."
Just like in class, reflecting on society and human beings can make people drowsy. When tiredness surges, people need to change their tastes, and this "Two-sided Lover" will refresh people's spirits.
After opening "Double Lover", you will know that the art director's words are not bluffing at all.
The first scene of "Two-sided Lover" was Croy Fortin's haircut. After changing her long hair to a short haircut, she appeared very cold, capable and intellectual. The second shot makes people suspect that they are on the wrong set. The big close-up shots indicate that this film will be extremely bold.
"Double Lover" tells a story in the first 100 minutes, and another story in the last 10 minutes.
François Ougon wrapped the story with his most familiar erotic elements, using a large number of symmetrical lenses and mirrors that can be seen everywhere to express the subtext of twins and mirroring.
The overall tone of the film is horror, and the appearance is erotic, so "Double-sided Lover" is also called "erotic thriller". It is recommended that the audience watch the film independently when they are watching the film and thinking about the plot. This is not mainly to exercise everyone's thinking ability, but to avoid others' eyes...
In the first 100 minutes of the story, French girl Croy Fortin always felt her stomach hurts, so she went to the clinic to see a doctor. The gynecologist said that there is no problem with her body, but it should be a psychological problem, and recommended her to see a psychologist. So Croy Fortin approached the psychiatrist Paul Meyer, and after telling the psychiatrist about the condition, she felt that the symptoms disappeared. Croy Fortin and Paul Meyer developed feelings during the treatment. The two changed from a patient relationship to a boyfriend and girlfriend, and they soon moved in together.
Croy Fortin desperately wants to know everything about the other half, combined with all the signs she sees, she suspects that Paul Meyer has a twin brother. Croy Fortin met another psychiatrist named Louis Delord, who looked exactly like Paul Meyer.
Why did the twin brothers conceal their life experience? Is it a distortion of family affection or a loss of morality? In Croy Fortin's view, things are not simple, and there must be a lot of ulterior secrets behind them. Croy Fortin began to explore the truth of the incident on his own, so that he could feel at ease.
In the last 10 minutes of the story, the truth of the incident was turned upside down. What Croy Forting saw was not the real situation, most of which were just her imagination.
Twins do exist, but there is no twin brother, but twin sisters. Croy Fortin absorbed the twin sisters during the fetal period and became a chimera, which became the source of her future illness.
The whole story of "Double Lover" is anticlimactic.
The opening scene of the film is very eye-catching, with the best shots one after another, constantly piling up the suspenseful atmosphere of the story. Everything seems to be the same, but there is something wrong.
In the middle of the film, through the first perspective of Croy Fortin, he explores between the real and the illusion. Not only did Croy Forting not know what truth he was about to face, the audience was also at a loss as to what to do. Everything is creating a climax atmosphere for the finale of the film.
But the reversal at the end of the film makes people see the routine of domestic horror movies. Most of the previous stories were bullish and full of horror, but the final ending was almost breathless. The audience will easily have a psychological gap, it feels like watching a big gimmick for a hundred minutes, and finally there is nothing new.
Erotic horror stew in a pot,
Anticlimactic daydream.
