Karax's debut is so sad and lonely, so poetically sad. Black and white, strong contrast of light and shadow, and a sculpturally white and well-defined face, the heroine is like a fairy descending to the world. The delicate facial features and blurred temperament make it impossible to take your eyes away from her... and see Denis Lawan's youthful appearance really takes some getting used to...
The story is very simple, and Karax focuses all on depicting emotions and showing his unique literary talent and unique camera and editing style. In the beginning, Alex, a young man, beat his best and only friend by the river, because this friend was befriending his girlfriend, and the girlfriend also left him. He grabbed his friend's throat hard, and finally pushed his friend into the river. On the other hand, Mirella was in the same room with her boyfriend but they had no communication. Her boyfriend plans to leave, Mirella tries to communicate with her boyfriend, but her boyfriend coldly refuses. Then her boyfriend used the access control voice system to tell Mirella to leave the key because he forgot the key, so they took this opportunity to communicate on the relationship between the two on the walkie-talkie. And Alex, who happened to pass by, heard their conversation, but Karax separated the truth from the surface conversation at this time. Mirella's boyfriend's inner monologue is his disgust for this relationship. He even forced himself to feel that Mirella's mouth stinks, even if it is fragrant... He wants to end the relationship, he feels Now Mirella is just a space-occupying object to him... But on the surface, he ended the conversation with a dear, and the hypocrisy of this paragraph is simply divine.
Alex used a pen on the wall at home to record his important moments since birth, birth, kissing a loved one for the first time, stealing something for the first time, etc. Today is the first time he hit a friend , this is a lonely home, a lonely scene. In a small and dark room, he used a typewriter to write the script, which was his job, and next door came the voices of men and women arguing, men scolding women, but after a shady scene came the roar of a man's orgasm... It's life, bad and full of raw pleasure, but Alex can't have it. He reluctantly put on his headphones and went out to relax, but saw a man and woman kissing passionately on the bridge, he threw a few coins to the couple and walked away. And Mirella danced a tap dance alone at home. This is also a lonely scene. The picture of Alex walking alone on the street with headphones and the picture of Mirella dancing appear in the camera one after another. Two lovelorn people are bound to meet, and sure enough, they meet at a party.
At the party, Alex listens to a deaf old man tell anecdotes about his time working for a film crew in the silent era, while a woman translates for him. Then he saw Mirella, who was alone, and his eyes were completely focused on this indescribably beautiful woman. Alex is longing for love and sex, he is not a desperate person, so he will secretly send a letter to his ex-girlfriend to invite her to the party, and he will also bring the scarf left by his ex-girlfriend, so he Will also fall in love with Mirella at first sight. Mirella is a brokenhearted lovelorn. She tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrists with scissors in the toilet at a party, but she ended up cutting herself a delicate short hair and starting all over again. Mirella with short hair and sunglasses reading a book in the kitchen is so cool... They drink tea from a cup with a gap in the kitchen, just like themselves. They open up to each other, tell their stories, their lives, their griefs, until the party is over. Alex frantically expresses his love to Mirella, as if this is the last day of life, this is the last meaning of life. He wants to love Mirella, he wants to have sex with Mirella, no matter how long... get out of here, out of this country, far away, anywhere, just let me love you. His hotness is in stark contrast to Mirella's indifference, and the two wounded loners deal with their pain in very different ways. Ice and fire are destined to be unable to reconcile, and heat often burns everything inadvertently. The accident at the end is the best reveal. Alex's hug accidentally stabbed the scissors into Mirela's body, the two fell down, and outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a sweet couple looking up at the stars...
