The opening shot is really brilliant. After the post-setup, the point of view is shifted, allowing the audience to perform at the same time, and refer to each other with the content of the film. The relationship between the male and female protagonists in the film refers to each other in Homer's "Odyssey". The viewer must also have a little bit of Homer's epic in order to "play" and "see" more happily.

Master Lang's masterpiece, with English subtitles, you can understand some French. Ending with Ulysses seeing Ithaca again is actually an inversion of the structure of The Odyssey. Love rebuilds first and homecoming comes later. Although rebuilding fails, it is still possible to go home. Losing the reality that Homer is based on, and may suddenly lose the feeling or ability to love, how (why) should we write, love and shoot? The beauty and "contempt" of Bardot.

Paul Javal: You don't want to make love?
Camille Javal: Listen to the jerk.
Paul Javal: Is that a mocking smile or a tender smile?
Camille Javal: A tender smile.
Paul Javal: So, answer me!
Camille Javal: If it were true, I'd tell you. A woman can always find an excuse not to make love. But you're really a jerk.
Paul Javal: Vulgar language doesn't suit you.
Camille Javal: It doesn't suit me? Listen to this: Asshole. Cunt. Shit. Christ almighty. Craphole. Son of a bitch. Goddamn. So, still think it doesn't suit me?
