Le Temps qui reste is no exception. Childhood images often appear in the quiet pictures, and light and bright colors are applied to heavy topics. Although the camera captures the sad moments of the male protagonist from time to time, the whole process of farewell is to gradually expound the true meaning of life in the transition from sensibility to rationality. If it is said that sharing the "lovely" past with his grandmother is still a bit of a "rebellious" mentality, then secretly photographing the happy moments of his sister and child in the dark shows his change in attitude towards life. His subsequent decision to agree to have sex with a strange woman gave him a clearer understanding and grasp of the meaning of life. Until finally came to the beach alone to end the journey of his life.
In the end, the male protagonist lies quietly on the beach alone, listening to the waves, and this scene with the sunset saying goodbye is perhaps the most peaceful and soothing death I have ever seen. There is a strong sense of time that embraces "minimalism".
