1. Those Years of Fever Love (Trois souvenirs de ma jeunesse, 2015) is a movie for young people.
2. The passionate youth love in the story, in my opinion now, is the confusion of mental illness and youth, as crazy and unbearable as the Wild Rose of Paris (37°2 le matin, 1986). Take a look at Robert McKee's critique of the heroine in Wild Roses of Paris: "Betty slides from obsession to madness to hysteria, she has impulses but never makes a real decision, the film is a schizophrenic about despair and helplessness Patient, a two-hour-long snapshot, the movie mistook suffering for drama." From this passage, looking back at the heroine in Chapter 3, she also never made a real decision, and we know she was lost Or dissatisfied with the reality, but she is too mentally weak, she has never done anything, except for seduction, entanglement and disconnected dependence, and she can't see that she has the ability to love someone.
3. Westerners explore personal loneliness very carefully. In the case of the male protagonist, family, friends, and lovers cannot relieve his deep sense of loneliness. He is like a wandering Ulysses. Sexuality comes from the limitations of man's own situation - man realizes himself, and then cuts off the harmonious connection with nature, deeply feeling that he is a deformed child of nature, an abandoned baby of the universe. I feel that his affiliation is academic, and it is anthropology, but after all, joining academia is not contact with people, because knowledge lacks warmth.
4. The story seems to be three fragments of youth, but there is a connection of inner structure:
Foreword, the male protagonist was detained at the airport due to passport problems, and the customs questioned: Who are you? At this point the film is introverted—I am not just a name, a passport, or a document, and from this, enter a more philosophical consideration: how my past memories and experiences shape who I am now. Entering the first chapter of childhood, the protagonist traces back to his childhood family life, escaped the control of his mother and hid in the home of his grandmother's relatives. The second chapter is the story of the rescue of the Israelis in Germany, and the third chapter is an unusually vigorous love song.
