Movies don't need concepts

From the beginning to the end of the film, I have been thinking about a question, that is, whether it is the moving image itself or the text that adds value to the film that makes this film outstanding. If it is because of the words, is it due to Maupassant or to the director. However, the reorganization of Maupassant's three stories, which caused the viewers to think differently in an unconscious state, was done by the director.

Not to tell you anything, but to give my opinion. So easygoing.

Like all works of the French New Wave period, it is extremely sharp and inexhaustible. For disgust, do not hide, do not cover up, do not describe. Just let them happen naturally, as jokes. You can continue as long as I can, but a sneer crossed the corner of my mouth.

I prefer one or three stories. The first is simple, crude, and raw. The third literature and art is crazy beautiful and unusual.

I was deeply shocked by the last sentence, there is no joy/joy in happiness.

Although he lost his life, only his work remained. But he got love, glory and happiness.

Le Plaisir quotes

  • Jean's friend: I was there the first time they met. Jean Summer hadn't yet settled on landscapes or still lifes, but he hated nudes. He didn't know that the pretty girl was in fact a model. He was captivated by how she walked, her childlike and sensual face, her slightly gaudy elegance, and her divine waist. Her name was Joséphine.

  • Joséphine - le modèle (segment "Le Modèle"): Such is life, my love. Old age and salmon, youth and sardines.
