black and white paris

Since Joan of Arc, I haven't been knocked on my heart by a French film for a long time, until Angel A appeared.



"Angel A" is very simple, without the action scenes such as gun battles, car chases and explosions that often appear in Luc "Besson's films", a pure romantic comedy. In Luc "Besson's "Queen" photographer Desiree Eiffel Tower, the cathedral in the 15th arrondissement, and the various bridges along the Seine River, even in black and white images, these light and dark scenes still appear streamer. Brilliant splendor. But as the most secretive and low-key film in French cinema, Luc's new work falls far short of the audience's expectations.


In this humorous and romantic comedy sketch, crucial It is a funny plot and language, but the dialogue in the film just shows a little artificiality and procrastination, and many of them are unbelievable, and the semantics are too difficult to understand and consume the attention of the audience. Although Li” Rasmussen has a beautiful and moving appearance , but is somewhat powerless for emotional dramas, and the characterization is not vivid. The black-and-white pictures of the film are beautiful, and Desiree Aberga's skills are undeniable. Paris, which has lost its color, is like a delicate postcard of landscapes. However, the filming location is too limited, which invisibly affects the potential of the actors. The long-awaited "Angel A" is not flattering, but after all, this is the first film whose shooting plan and production budget are controlled by the director, although the film box office will not be much profitable relative to the cost of 15 million euros , but it will not affect the hardcore fans' obsession with Luc Besson.

The above are movie reviews I found on the Internet. The reason I didn't write them was because I didn't understand them. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really don't understand. But there are some lines in it that moved me very much, such as Angela and Andre looking at the mirror in the toilet, Angela said that she was half of Andre (actually referring to his mirror image), and made Andre say "I "Love you, Angela" becomes "I love you, Andre", awakening Andre's inner emotions. Angela disappeared like fog.
