Before this, the Darney brothers had only heard of the works, but had never seen any of them. After reading it, I recalled a small incident from many years ago. My parents and I were walking by the river. There was a snakeskin bag not far from the river. Blood was faintly visible. The surface of the bag attracted a lot of flies like stinky meat. "Is there a dead person in there? Do you want to call the police?" my mother asked casually. I saw my dad's face changed instantly, "Don't meddle in your own business, and you will be in trouble." The conversation was somewhat forgotten, but at that time, my dad's face was still remembered, very much like those people in the film who were questioned by the heroine one by one. . Going back to the film, it can be summed up as the sins and evils of the surrounding people involved in the death of a prostitute. The director aimed the camera at Doctor Jenny and made a group portrait-style line drawing of the bottom people in the town. Slightly shaking hand-held photography and close-up framing, as well as the director's dislike of split shots, this shooting method allows the audience to have a visual experience of being in it, as if the audience followed Jenny to witness everything. The suspense created by a single perspective cannot be replaced by other methods, but if it is understandable that Jenny asks patients one by one out of her inner guilt, then in the end, the director will reveal what she really wants to do, and The practice of letting those characters who are directly or indirectly related to the girl's death come to the hostess' house one by one to confess their guilt does make people feel a little redundant. The film brought out many other characters from the perspective of doctor Jenny. When asked by Jenny with her mobile phone, they all answered unanimously that they did not know that some of them may have a direct relationship with the girl's death, and some of them may be directly related to the girl's death. Their death is indirectly related, or not related, but their responses out of moral anxiety and guilt, which may or may not be, are as oppressive as the gray sky. The father who was sitting on the hospital bed, who was tormented by the heart attack, kindly told Jenny what he really wanted, but the son who straightened his back stood beside him and punched him; the thoughtful person could not die, and if he could not open the door, it was a metaphor for Europe. Immigration issues. The film's moral depth and symbolic irony are razor-sharp, but it would be better if the treatment at the end and the reason and manner of the protagonist's questioning were changed.

The Unknown Girl quotes

  • Julien: When I saw that kid having his fit, shaking all over... I saw myself when my dad hit me. All I got from him was beatings. I wanted to be a doctor to treat him or to treat myself, I don't know. Or to be a better doctor than ours who thought I bruised myself playing.

  • Le père de Bryan: She doesn't care.

    Le père de Bryan: She's dead.

    Jenny Davin: If she was dead, she wouldn't be in our heads.
