felt the need for self-reflection

Theoretically speaking, it should be enough to get 4 points, but I can't take this hand, maybe because this style is not very pleasing to me, it reminds me of the painful time of reading Roland Barthes, so I will give it 3 points.

I had heard before that there was a period when the student communist movement was hot in France (as if it was the background of the dream of Paris?), but I didn't know more about it, I just knew it, and then I had the opportunity to see this film screened, coming.

The whole story is quite clear. It would be better to say that the story itself is not too important. It mainly uses this story to show a kind of irony about "literary and artistic youths/educated youths/erleng bosses engaging in politics out of thin air"? Or a kind of record?

I got to know the director a little bit, and he is quite left-handed, so it shouldn't be pure satire, and there should be some personal opinions expressed. But personally, I feel the necessity of self-examination. Is my daily thinking about some doctrines/tendencies/positions like the protagonist... a child's play?

The shots and sets of the film are also very artistic, as if I was visiting an art exhibition in 798, but a little abstract.

Oh, I know why I can only give three points, I really don't like (no high or low evaluation, only emotional evaluation) those references to Marxist theory that don't fit the preamble, the whole atmosphere is too Roland Bart Orz

La Chinoise quotes

  • Guillaume: Yes, yes, I think, I think we must be different from our parents. My father, for example, fought very hard against the Germans during the war, and now he runs a Club Med resort. You know, those big holiday condos by the sea. And the terrible thing is that he just can't figure out that they are made with exactly, exactly the same layout as the concentration camps.

  • Yvonne: To Paris? I arrived in '60... no, '65... oh yes... '64, sorry. Cleaning... for three years. Yes, sure it's good here on the top floor, and the light, it's clear. You know, I worked in Passy before and then in Auteuil. It was in bourgeois apartments, very large apartments then, which were on the first floor, they were usually very dark. I had to sweep in darkness. I entered the metro when it was already dark. I returned very late. And then it was always black. When coming back in the evening, it was dark on the metro. So here people discuss and talk. It's very clear to me.
