The beginning of the movie gave me a solemn feeling. After the assassin and the old man met in the drugstore, it gave me a feeling that the two knew each other. Then they talked to me and I began to make it clear that they really knew each other. The content of the words was too pretentious, but from the dialogue You discover that they don't actually know each other. There are many problems with this film. First of all, I can see that the director is not clear about what he wants, or that he wants too many things, so the logic conflicts. He wanted something on the left, but grabbed the one on the right, which made me feel unexpected.
After so long, I saw the old man telling the killer that I would help you rob. I thought it would start from here, but the director abducted the exploration of the relationship between two characters with different identities and backgrounds, to describe their temptation and exploration of the lives of both parties. The so-called "details" of living together, but they didn't actually say anything. In the end, it seemed to me that their feelings have reached a deeper level.
After that, the killer went to robbery, the old man went to perform surgery and forced a two-line narrative. With the taste of fate, the two people walked across the road to deal with and completed the "identity exchange", which was completely nonsense. There is no basic logic in the story. How come the two people get to the road, and then the next thing is completely fantasy writing.
I don't understand what point of the Venice Film Festival is watching this film. It is just a misstep to be added to the main competition unit, or it is the reputation of the director's previous work, which gives him face, I doubt it.
