When it comes to Bertolucci, he has to be linked with eroticism, but his eroticism is very warm, not hypocritical and ambiguous at all. I don't know whether it is the romantic and affectionate Italian country town that gave birth to the master's tenderness and delicacy or whether he is legendary. In short, his films bring us an infinite search and yearning for love. From "Dream of Paris", I was deeply intoxicated and shocked, about growth, about love, and about inner emotions. Release, about the memory of the past, about life and ideals, Bertolucci used his unique lens language to show us.
Lucy, played by Liv Tyler, embarks on a journey to find her father at her mother's friend's house. This year, she is 19 years old and still a virgin. It is more important for her to find out her origin than to lose her virginity, isn't it? She doesn't want to enjoy the beautiful experience that belongs to her age like a flower and a dream, but it seems that in the process, she can't get rid of a sense of existential fear - her mother is a free-spirited and passionate poet, and she was born by chance. Before she found her biological father, this psychological knot was always with her. Whether it was the dream lover she liked many years ago finally got close to her, or the warm and handsome man she met out of jealousy, she did not break the virginity. Perhaps the soul would not allow her to do so.
In the days when Lucy arrived, there was a man who stayed by her side and acted as her inner communication messenger. This man was her mother's friend before her death, a novelist who was sick. Bo Ayao was attracted by Lucy's beauty and youthful breath from the very beginning. In his own words, Lucy was like any physical medicine, which relieved his condition. Only his sensitive nerves noticed Lucy's nervousness from the very beginning. It seemed that she was hiding a lot of secrets, and there were some traces of inner secrets in those big pure eyes. In the process of communicating again and again, Lucy gradually revealed the truth. She showed him her mother's previous picture album and shared her inner secrets with him. In the strange island where she failed to find her father, the writer acted as a buffer to comfort her heart. El Garcino interprets the tenderness of this flower protector just right, making people feel the twinkling side of his life that has lost its luster due to his illness.
Another important task of Lucy's trip was to make a mannequin for the lover of her mother's friend. Her mother also served as his model during her lifetime. In fact, this person was the father she was looking for. Maybe it was the serious and old-fashioned sculptor. Lucy Not seeing it as a possible target at first, she turned her attention to a dashing gentleman—an island resident who is also a friend of her mother. However, at the dance, Lucy asked him to dance and asked him to rule it out. Then Lucy suspected the writer, and the result of the exchange was also negative. Finally, in the studio, Lucy finally confirmed that the sculptor was the father she was looking for, and cried.
After his father was found, Lucy's soul finally settled and belonged. At this time, a shy boy came to him. He was a friend of her former love. He wrote a love letter to her. Lucy couldn't believe that the love letter she liked was written by him, and he liked it with her. The difference is that this person is shy and not good at expressing his feelings directly, but he said something that Lucy was very moved by: "You must miss your mother very much." This is the only thing in the film that confirms his inner words. Lucy was so warm, the two had a wonderful sex, and it was the boy's first time at the same time.
Just as Lucy finds her father and completes a beautiful transition in life, other people's lives change, the mother's friend's daughter breaks up with her rambunctious boyfriend, and the mother's friend is tired of taking care of others and wants to go home and experience life . The writer's health deteriorates and he is taken to an ambulance, where Lucy bids him farewell.
The beautiful Italian pastoral scenery, romantic candlelight banquets, and emotional rhythm music become another feature of the film. Liv Tyler's acting skills are remarkable, pure as a elf, sometimes a trace of worry drifts, and sometimes a ray of warmth flashes. The highlight of the film.
