Can be better can be more Polanski

I admit that I was full of expectations before watching it. The screenwriter is Assayas, the collision of two French goddesses, and Polanski is familiar with the subject matter.

But maybe because it is too easy to cook, it loses its essence and flavor.

There are several turning points in the ten-day plot of the crisis.

The first one is Elle, a mysterious woman who approached Delphine, stepped into Delphine's life and even isolated her life.

The second turning point is that Delphine is actually the one who secretly observed. Elle's life, fantasy friends, and ex-husband have all become the subject of her new book.

The last turning point can be said to be expected. Elle does not exist. Her experience is mixed with Delphine's memories. In fact, it is Delphine's memories and return of her life in the process of writing a new book.

The role of Green Baby is still the usual femme fatale style, but looking at her with a smile, wrapped in a red silk scarf, smoking a cigarette, is there an actress who is more suitable for Elle?

Overall it is good, but I think it can be better.
