love and beauty

Guido 2022-03-20 09:02:31

Love, lesbianism, eroticism, history and culture, mythology, psychology, life, Bing... There are too many elements mixed in this film, but there are only three actors, one room, and one intersection. I refuse to define this film by ordinary ethics. Peeling off these shells, what I see is pure beauty. The metaphorical Renaissance frescoes and Roman architectural styles that appear from time to time in sensuality and affection, as well as the repeated appearance of Cupid, are accompanied by unique background music. The line between fantasy and reality is not clear, or both. I'm obsessed with the film's light and shadow transitions, color contrasts, camera transitions, and finesse. During the progress of the plot, Alba and Natasha's profound psychological changes from deceiving and testing each other to being honest with each other are also wonderful. "Loving Strangers" has been looping in my ears several times. We lie under the water and watch the time flow from another angle We go out to watch the sunrise and then we say goodbye to each other Let everything stay here, stay in the room in Rome This morning I call your name for the last time The sun at the intersection falls On my withered and broken heart my voice is the truncated traffic and your figure is the meeting of the distant horizon and the sky

    Looking at this movie, I really admire: there are three roles in total, two women and one man, and no male protagonist; the panoramic view of the film is a room with a rooftop in the hotel; even 90% of the two female protagonists are filmed naked, even All the clothes are saved. Directors who want to make low-cost so-called art films, learn something

    There are always erotic elements in Mi Tan's movies, but in this film, eroticism has become the biggest gimmick, and the charm of the movie has been reduced. Of course, Mi Tan's shots are still beautiful. Also, how his recent films are so obsessed with history.

Room in Rome quotes

  • [after having sex for the first time]

    Natasha: Alba? This stays here, okay? In this room.

    Alba: Within these four walls... in Rome.

    Natasha: Promise me... what we just did stays here between us.

    Alba: But since we are here, let's have some fun.

    Natasha: All I ask is that this doesn't affect my life.

    Alba: And how do you do that?

    Natasha: By agreeing... the two of us. I have a life outside of this room and I know you have a life you want to protect. Don't you?

    Alba: Very far from years. By tomorrow, Rome will send us to each opposite end of Europe.

  • Natasha: [while having sex]

    [in Russian; subtitled]

    Natasha: Poor thing.

    Alba: [in Spanish; subtitled] Where did you come from? How could you show up like this, without warning?

    Natasha: [in Russian] I can't believe I'm doing this.

    Alba: [in Spanish] What are you doing to me? You're scaring me, my little Russian.

    Natasha: [in Russian] Is this me? Making love to a woman? I can't recognize myself.

    Alba: [in Spanish] Your Russian sounds so beautiful.

    Natasha: [in Russian] Only for you. I'm trembling with fear too.
