I don't know if the French have excellent patience and a poetic sense of the camera lens, so the films made are full of beauty and the plot is slow.
French flakes are like French perfume, it gives you a feeling. Rather than forcibly giving you a "truth" or "story". I have watched a lot of Uncle Mai's movies recently, and I think his performance in the horse dealer is still of high quality: perseverance and poise. The roles of each supporting actor in the film are very distinct, with exquisite shapes, positions, and lines. Although this horse dealer is about epic characters, the language of the camera is similar to that of Uncle Mai's "Chanel's Secret Love Story", which is exquisitely poetic and very emotional. For example, the scene where the horse dealer is beheaded at the end is obviously different from that of Uncle Mai in the Danish film "The Merry of the Royal Family". Personally, I think the use of the horse dealer's lens is more beautiful, especially when the princess visits Koolhaas who is taking a bath, the use of the slightly erotic lens really makes Uncle Mai very beautiful. . .
Big Hollywood productions like "Braveheart" and "Anna Karenina" may outshine horse dealers and royals in terms of storytelling and emotional impact on the actors.
But French movies are French movies. Everyone says that Uncle Mai's Chanel is stuffy. Stupidity and slowness may be the process of perfume evaporation.
Therefore, if you want to see the lens language, beauty, and tone (just like going to see the paintings in the Louvre Museum), this kind of viewing requires great patience and no distractions. There are plenty of other options for those who want to stimulate the entertainment brain. Some movies are full of emotion and tight storytelling that you won't want to watch a second time. This movie like a scenery film is very suitable for people who relax and like the slow pace of nature.
