bewildering mashup

It's a bit worse than the director's other "Wild Rose of Paris". I think the problem lies in the storyline, the excessive pursuit of freehand brushwork, and the failure to explain the complex relationship between a drug dealer, a pirate, an artist, an opera star, and a postman. A little more complete is the singer and the postman, but many passages deviate from the main line in the middle narrative. The auxiliary line character setting seems to be just to complete the ups and downs of the plot and to tell the story round.
I talked about the movie when I was talking about montage passages in class. In the MV-style paragraph in which the postman accompanies the female singer to walk in Paris, the montage technique is used to show the step-by-step development of the relationship between the two people over a period of time... However, what kind of relationship the two eventually became is confusing. close friends? lover? or what?
The characters are also very interesting. There are three female characters, a black opera star, an Asian girl, and a white female detective who is almost negligible... I don't know what it means to set these characters in this way. The director's attitude towards women is not shown at all~~
The whole film style is like a platter. The first paragraph has the style of a French police and gangster film, and then it turns to an exaggerated expressionist style. There will also be a romantic literary and artistic paragraph in the middle.
After checking the director's information, he found that he was also the assistant director of "Gourmet", and was later promoted from assistant director to director. The little old French man in "Gourmet" is my favorite, Louis de Finays~~

    Originally wanted to give 4 rows, because the music is very good and very creative. However, it’s too jumpy. At first I thought it was a romantic art film, but later I found out that it was a heavy suspense film, and then returned to a love opera film, but the climax was a humorous shootout film. . French, you are so non-linear

    First of all, I understand people who don’t like this movie. After all, the whole cinema du look trend has always been controversial. Maybe the form of this film is greater than the content, but why not imagine the possibility that the form is actually equal to the content? Moreover, the grotesque humor elements in the film also ensure that it is quite watchable.
