Beauty is getting late, Binoche is really old. Where is Terasa, who is timid as a deer with a camera in the small town of Prague? Immaculately bright eyes. Although the French film scene, which has never been short of beautiful women, is born in large numbers, the old generation of stunners fades away, and the new generation of sweet sisters arrives, but Binoche is still there, like a pavilion of lotus flowers, with an irreplaceable sad literary atmosphere.
Suzanne is hot and hot, like all really lovely women: not savvy enough. She's the kind of woman who can be so careless and confused that she can't find the deed contract, but the 8mm film left by her grandfather, the postcards she collected when she was a teenager, are intact. Whatever it is, what our hearts really value can only be reduced to one thing. It is companionship for Simon, an experience for Song, and a dream that is forever chasing for Suzanne.
Still need American Beauty? The video the boy next door showed Jenny, his work. It was a flying plastic bag in front of a wall, the boy said: There is a kind of random, disordered, accidental beauty there.
This is an unimaginable Paris, hurried and cold under Hou Hsiao-hsien's calm camera. The gray-blue tones set off the bright red balloons and the warmth of a monk. As the director of Outlander, Hou sees Paris reduced to the size of a home, a cramped apartment, a lonely boy, a mother who swallows her voice, and a film student who is always watching.
Most of the shots are one scene and one shot, all in one go, restoring life artistically. The scene where the tuner appeared was the most powerful, and everyone in the panoramic shot was a real and quiet existence. Without interfering with each other, so harmonious.
That postcard is many years ago, when Suzanne was a girl, she went to the UK as an au pair, lived for a local family, took care of their children, and went to the British Museum every day. Just like Song Fang at the moment in the film, with Simon, chasing her dream in a foreign land.
I have always been curious about what Hou Hsiao-hsien would be like without Zhu Tianwen. "It looks like a happy painting, but also a little sad. It's like one side is in the shadows, and the other side shines the sun." The
free-roaming red balloon is a pair of eyes from the sky overlooking the world.
