"Nude Love" is an Italian film with a heavy taste, and director Giuseppe Donatol has directed "Cinema Paradiso", "The Pianist at Sea" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily " , Compared with the warm and conservative previous works, the scale of "Nude Love" is much wider. The pictures of nudity and sexual intercourse are cut into pieces, which are quickly but continuously embedded in the memory of the protagonist, impacting the audience's visual nerves. However, the extraordinarily scaled segment in "Nude Love" is not for sex. It reveals misery and pain, and is a huge dream that pushes the heroine forward only. "Nude Love" won many awards in Italy, and became popular among European audiences. It became the favorite movie of the audience in several film festivals, and the heroine also became a superstar chased by the spotlight.
Elena has fluffy black curly hair and is in her thirties, but there are traces of the vicissitudes of life on her face. She took a long-distance bus and came to the Italian town of Villazzi. The goal of Elena's trip is clear: she's trying to infiltrate the jeweler Adachi's home. Mr. Yadaqi opened a jewelry company, and Mrs. Yadaqi was a jewelry designer, designing and making various precious accessories at home. The Adazis have only one daughter, four-year-old Tia. Elena holds a Ukrainian passport and the necessary documents to legally stay and work in Italy. But no one knows her real origin and purpose.
In order to get close to the Adachi couple, Irina rented an expensive but dilapidated apartment, just because the window of this apartment was facing the Adachi family. Elena bribed the concierge of the high-end apartment where the Yadaqi couple lived, agreeing to pay 30% of his salary in exchange for the opportunity to work there. Leftovers inside to learn about the family's taste preferences. Still, it was difficult to get close to the Yadazis. In their high-end apartments, all live in jewelers, so it is not easy to hire outsiders, and it is difficult for a foreigner to get a job that can enter the house. Still, the concierge managed to hire Elena as a cleaner in the apartment building, two days a week.
Elena wasn't short of money, she had money, a lot of money, so much that when the train went by, the ragged and vibrating ceilings would be sprinkled with colorful bills. However, this money is obviously not serious money that can be deposited in the bank and in her own name. Elena has spent a lot of brains trying to hide this money more safely.
When Elena was cleaning the apartment building, she was very serious, and she also took extra care to polish the house number of Adaqi's house. So Gina, the housekeeper of the Adazis, noticed Elena. Gina has worked in the Yadazi family for many years and lives in the Yadazi family. Gina never takes the elevator, and Ning relies on her legs to go up and downstairs. She feels that the elevator is not reliable. Because Irina works very seriously, and works alone in Villazzi like Gina, plus Irina's deliberate investment, the two soon became good friends, and they made an appointment to go to dinner and watch movies together. Taking advantage of an opportunity to watch a movie, Irina stole the key of the Adachi house from Gina's handbag and made a copy in the shortest time possible. In this way, on the night of Yadaqi's family outing, Elena sneaked into Yadaqi's house. However, this night visit did not allow Elena to find what she was looking for, only that the concierge Jing, taking advantage of no one at home, used the backup key to come in to steal the gold dust left on the equipment when Mrs. Adachi was making jewelry.
That day, Elena was scrubbing hard on the stairs of the apartment, just as Gina came out of the house. When meeting Elena, Gina told her that she was going to buy some vitamins, because the daughter Tia of the Adachi family suffered from a strange disease and was easily injured and bleeds, but the doctor could not find out the specific reason. Elena was in a hurry, she couldn't wait any longer, so when Gina lifted her leg to go downstairs, Elena's hand holding the brush hit Gina's leg hard, so Gina fell all the way down the spiral staircase The height of the next two or three floors, although not dead, but fell into a vegetative state. So Elena became the new housekeeper of the Adachi family. Before, the concierge and Gina said a lot of good things about Elena in the ears of Mrs. Adachi.
At the beginning, Mrs. Adachi didn't know Elena, so she didn't give her the key to the house, and only asked her to help out a few days a week, and Tia, the daughter of the Adachi family, didn't like Elena either. , because during the first meeting, when Elena pushed open the door, she accidentally hit Tia, who was hiding outside the door and peeking. But soon, Elena's serious work attitude, first-class cooking skills, and unexpected toys to please her made her deeply loved and trusted by Mrs. Adachi and Tia, and she was able to stay at Adachi's house. longer.
One day, while Elena was ironing clothes in the laundry room, Mr. Adachi came in with a suitcase, asked Elena to go out, and locked the door. So Elena guessed that what she was looking for should be in the laundry room. Sure enough, Elena found a secret door in the closet in the laundry room. There was a heavy safe at the back door, but she had to know the password to open the safe. Fortunately, after waiting too long, Irina peeped through the keyhole in the laundry room and saw Mrs. Adachi enter the password, open the safe, and put the jewelry she just made into it.
The relationship between the Yadaqi and his wife is very bad. Usually, the two rarely talk, and occasionally they talk, but most of them end in a quarrel. Perhaps because the atmosphere at home was so bad, Mrs. Yadazi decided to leave the house for a few days. She asked Elena to stay at home during this time and help take care of the young Tia. On the first night she stayed in, Elena couldn't wait to open the safe and found what she had been looking for. But Elena put the things back in the safe, she just wanted to make sure that the things were there, she didn't plan to leave the Adachi house.
Tia was a much-loved child at home, with fluffy black curly hair like a little princess. But Tia was a little airbag at school, and she often came home crying with a whole body of injuries. Elena decided to change Tia's cowardly personality, so she took advantage of the fact that there were only two people at home, tied Tia's hands to her sides, and pushed Tia to the bed covered with padded bedding again and again. On the floor, Tia was asked to try to get up on her own. After a few times, Tia was angry and sad, she cried and asked Elena to untie her, and then slapped Elena on the face after unbinding. Elena was not angry, but she was excited to keep Tia, just like this, fight back! Elena really likes Tia, she just hates iron.
Although no one really knows about Elena's past, all kinds of past events appear in Elena's mind from time to time. Most of those fleeting historical pictures are terrifying and cruel. Qiao Naxu, this is Elena's previous name, but it's not her real name, but her pimp who took it for her. Jonah Xu, a Ukrainian prostitute, often wears a pale mask and is nearly naked with other girls, standing like a beast on a platform for male guests hiding behind wall panels to choose. In order to get young girls to accept their customers, pimps would bind, beat, and repeatedly rape the girls. If you resist a little, you will be hanged upside down and urinate on your body. When the girls finally gave up the idea of running away, the pimp who arranged the jobs for them would make them wear brightly colored miniskirts, short vests and high heels, and then take them to work in a van to pick up the passengers, leaving the boys to pick them up. The guests ask for anything from them.
At that time, Qiao Naxu was much younger than the current Irina, with bright blonde hair, tall figure, fair skin, big earrings, and bright red high heels. If there is still a little beauty in Elena's past life, it should be the sunny afternoon when Qiao Naxu met Renault. Renault is a handsome dock porter. While Jonas Xu was sitting on the side to rest, Renault shyly came to her with a bunch of strawberries and asked her if she was thirsty. It was big, red and many strawberries, shining brightly in the sunlight. After that, Qiao Naxu often met privately with Renault, roaming and making love on the grassland together. Renault loved Qiao Naxu and wanted to elope with her. It's a pity that the bright future did not come true, and Qiao Naxu later worked hard to dig up Renault's body in the garbage dump.
Jonah Xu mustered the courage to run away, after the obstetrician declared she could never get pregnant again. Jona Xu's pimp is a bald and sturdy man, among all the prostitutes in charge, he likes Jonas Xu the most. Every time Qiao Naxu became pregnant because of a pick-up, he would give her a small gift as compensation. As usual, after the pimp finished venting on Jona Xu, he drank some beer and lay naked on the bed and fell asleep. The difference is that Qiao Naxu did not sleep together, but took out the large scissors that were pre-hidden under the bed and inserted them deeply into the pimp's stomach again and again. Qiao Naxu said that this was for Renault. After that, Qiao Naxu used a screwdriver to remove the outer shell of the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and took away bundles of banknotes hidden inside.
Irina often visits Gina in the nursing home, and pushes Gina, who can't speak or move, in a wheelchair to bask in the sun. For Gina, Irina felt very guilty. In addition to constantly apologizing and promising to make amends, she also told Gina what was on her mind, about her tragic past that she had left behind, and why she had to do this Hurt Gina. Every time before leaving, Elena would grab Gina's hand and help her sign a piece of paper.
After Mrs. Adachi came back, she found that the relationship between Tia and Irina had become very deep. Out of a woman's intuition and jealousy, Mrs. Adachi did not want Irina to appear at home so often, and even refused. Invite Elena, who is alone, to spend Christmas with her. On the Christmas Eve that Elena was walking home alone, two men dressed as Santa Claus rushed out and beat Elena violently, and the place where Elena lived was thoroughly searched and destroyed. , only the three small potted plants hanging outside the window were spared. With blood and wounds all over her face, Irina hid in the concierge of the Yadaqi family's apartment, and used the matter of stealing gold dust to coerce the other party to take her in.
It was Yiliana or Qiao Naxu's pimp who came here. Although Qiao Naxu stabbed him several times with scissors, it didn't kill him. Now he has chased after Elena and asked her to return all the money. To this end, the pimp also smashed Mrs. Adachi's car windows, making it impossible for Elena to settle down here. So Elena was fired.
Despite being expelled, Irina still secretly went to the school to find Tia, hoping that Tia could help speak nicely to Mrs. Yadazi. But what Elena didn't know was that Mrs. Adachi had begun to suspect her, and secretly observed Elena's every move in the dark. Mrs. Yadazi found that Elena often went to see Tia secretly, and that Elena's house could see her home, and also found that Elena often visited Gina, and from time to time she went in and out of the bank to save money. So Mrs. Adachi went to Elena's house to show her a showdown. Mrs. Adazy found nothing in Elena's house, save for a wall covered in Tia's drawings and photographs. Mrs. Yadazi was very angry. She said that she had received an extortion letter. She knew who Elena was, but no one wanted to take her daughter away. Irina made no excuse at all. She let Mrs. Adachi tore away the photos and paintings on the wall, and only asked Mrs. Adachi to leave immediately. Because the pimp was hiding in another room at the moment, and could jump out and hurt Mrs. Yadazi at any moment.
Later, Irina went to the jewelry company to find Mr. Yadazi, and tried to ask him to explain to Mrs. Yadazi for Irina. All along, Mr. Yadazi was more rational and liked Irina. But Mr. Adachi didn't come out to see Irina, because on the same day, Mrs. Adachi's car was picked up from the river, and at the same time Mrs. Adachi was sitting in the driver's seat.
After Mrs. Yadazi passed away, Mr. Yadazi decided to move and was going to ask Irina to come back to help take care of Tia. But before the new home was settled, the police came to take Elena away. Because Irina's passport and a red high-heeled shoe were found in Mrs. Adachi's car.
After Mrs. Adazi left Elena's house, the pimp carried Elena to get the stolen money. Elena takes the pimp to a cemetery dedicated to burying dogs and is forced to dig out the money shovel by shovel. Of course the money wasn't here, and Elena knew very well that the pimp would eventually kill her whether she handed it over or not. The money had been hidden in the three potted plants outside the window of the residence, but now, the money has been deposited into Gina's account. No money was ever dug up, and the pimp and Irina began to argue, and in the scuffle, the pimp was pushed over and fell on the protruding stone tip. Elena just buried him in the dug hole. It was the pimp who cut the brake lines of Mrs. Adachi's car and killed Mrs. Adachi. Irina is full of gratitude to the Adachi couple for giving her daughter a bright future that she could not afford. Elena explained these things one by one in front of the police.
Hearing this, the police looked surprised. They wanted to know why Elena said that Tia was her daughter? Qiao Naxu has experienced a total of twelve years as a prostitute. Because the pimps force them to agree to all the demands of the male client, it is very easy to get pregnant. In the twelve years, Qiao Naxu has been pregnant nine times in total, Children are always sent away after birth. Before assassinating the pimp and escaping, Jona Xu learns from the midwife that the last child was given to the Adazis of the Velazzi. There are several families with the surname Adachi in Velazi, but only one with a girl of three or four years old. Tia's birthday happened to be three days after Irina's baby was delivered, and Mrs. Adazi didn't have any pictures of her pregnancy. More importantly, Irina found an adoption book in the safe of the Adazis' home.
In order to prove that the reason why Irina approached the Adachi couple was for Tia and not for other unscrupulous purposes, the police brought in the midwife who delivered Irina's baby to confront her. The midwife flatly denied that Tia was Irina's daughter, saying that at that time Irina repeatedly asked about her child's whereabouts, and the midwife had to turn to a pimp. The impatient pimp was lying on the massage table, except for the gold necklace around his neck, there was only a white towel around his waist. The pimp asked the midwife to make up a random name to send Elena, but the midwife couldn't think of a name, so the pimp grabbed the necklace around his neck and said that it was Adazi of Villazzi. Sitting in front of the police, Irina didn't believe the midwife's lie, so the police took out the necklace wrapped in the evidence tape and taken from the pimp's body. When Yelena saw "Adazi of Velazzi" engraved on it, she immediately fell from the chair and passed out on the ground.
A policewoman accompanied Yelena's female lawyer to the bedside of Yelena, and Yu Xin couldn't bear to ask her, among so many children, why did she insist on looking for the last one? Elena told them that she didn't know either, the other children were just a number to her, except for their age, she had no memory of those children at all, and after finding the whereabouts of the last child, she naturally gave up looking for other children. child. The female lawyer carefully told Irina that the results of the DNA test proved that Tia was not her child. The adoption letter that Irina saw in the safe was just a declaration of will, and there was no name on it. Tia was the child adopted by the Adachi couple through legal channels.
Before she goes to jail, the police send Irina to see Tia. Tia was hospitalized due to a hunger strike. Before the hospital bed, Tia told Elena that she was pushed down the stairs of the school, but this time she didn't know who pushed it or who she was going to beat. Elena touched Tia's forehead distressedly and told her that in the future, when this happens, she will beat up the guy she sees the first time she gets up. out of breath. Then, Irina asked the nurse to bring the food and fed Tia in small mouthfuls, while telling her that she would be away for a long time, and that she would not be able to come back until Tia grew into a big girl. During this time, Tia has to be brave and write to tell Elena the joy of growing up and the joy of being a big girl, and let Elena share everything she has not experienced. After that, Irina was sent to the prison van. At the door, she saw Mr. Yadazi, who was sitting on a bench outside the hospital, looking at Irina speechlessly without the slightest blame.
Elena is out of jail. With short hair and a slightly old face, Elena stood alone outside the prison. Irina was at a loss, she slowly walked to the seat next to the prison gate and sat down, dazed in the wind for a long time. As if a century had passed, another person came to the gate of the prison. It was a woman, a young woman, a young woman with black curly hair. She came running in a hurry, stopped in front of the empty prison door, and looked around in a panic. Her eyes wandered back and forth around the prison, but she never found what she was looking for. Irina saw this girl, and she saw her before her footsteps stopped. But Elena didn't move, just kept staring at the girl. Finally, the girl's eyes swept to Elena, and the girl let go of her panicked expression and smiled brightly.
"Nude Love" was classified as tutoring in Europe, but in Taiwan it was classified as a solid restricted level after going through a lot of scrutiny. When a movie is listed as R-rated, inevitably, the popularity of the movie is greatly reduced. In Europe, the classification of movies is more based on the theme that the movie wants to convey. There is no doubt that the theme of "Nude Love" is love, which is a sincere and unrequited maternal love. As the director's transformational work, Giuseppe Donatol has undoubtedly handled it very successfully. The director used a thrilling and suspenseful approach to wrap the deep, life-saving feelings in "Nude Love", despite the There are many sensational and amazing sexual nudity (there is no love at all) scenes, but the director uses the shortest clips to quickly insert into the film, so that this flashing plot leaves horror and shock in the hearts of the audience , without turning the film into porn or horror. Although this is a transformation work that is completely different from the director's previous works, the restrained emotions are always the same. In the movie, Irina smiled and said very little, but from what she did, the audience could feel the no regrets and desperation in it. Tia is not a typical sweet little girl, with a somewhat awkward personality, and a lot of outrageous remarks, but it highlights the resonance and bond between her and Elena. And Mr. Yadaqi's understanding and recognition of Irina were also revealed one by one in simple and subtle words and eyes.
Stories and reports of Ukrainian, Russian or Eastern European girls being forced into prostitution and experiencing inhumane encounters along the way are heard. Whether it is Italy, Sweden, or even the United States, there is similar news. Beatings, torture, gang rape, drugs, movement control, all appear in these stories, movies and news, but such things are not new and repeated. Poverty is the root cause of these problems, but some wealthy but immoral countries and citizens also bear considerable responsibilities. Among them, Japan is the country that should be condemned the most. Japan has long been considered by some domestic and international human rights groups to be the world's largest human-trafficking market. Because Japan's pornography industry is often closely intertwined with the underworld, the sex market is disorganized, various underground transactions are frequent, and Japan has lagged behind other Western countries in combating human trafficking, it is difficult to know how many foreign women are trafficked to Japan. Be a "sex slave". Japan is a country with an open sexual concept but a low rate of sexual crimes, which is related to its long-standing, "tolerant" attitude towards the porn industry, both at the government level and in public opinion. Just like the Japanese are famous for their longevity, they are related to their love of eating seafood and other light foods, but they have stopped on the issue of catching and protecting whales. Since the Japanese derive their happiness from the suffering of others, and they are unwilling to actively invest in ending the suffering of others, it may be ethical for such Japanese not to live too long.
