his weird smile

Truffaut's, after reading it, I went to read the film review, and my classmates expressed a bunch of professional opinions, what each person is a story, what kind of nested narrative techniques, piles of piles.

I'm out of ideas. I am only interested in pianists.

Speaking of, this is a weird guy, he loves to play the piano, the woman loves to play the piano, he falls in love with a woman because a woman loves him, and then a woman dies for him, the first time as a barmaid, the second time The little barmaid, after every love, he would go back to the piano and continue playing with a smile on his face.

Once was fine, twice was fine, but what if it was a curse? What if it started over and over again and never stopped? In the long run, how does he survive? When I saw it, I couldn't help but think so.

The movie doesn't say anything, only the pianist smiles weirdly at the end of the screen.

Really scary.

    Translation of the film. French-style American genre films, both imitations and unique literary accents.

    There are so many shots, I feel like entering a point of view, like flying. Such as a female violinist, such as jumping off a building, such as the flickering darkness, such as the translucent kisses and interspersed dreams in the rotating room. The conversation in the car is good, the good and the evil are blurred, and the world is right in the end, but it cannot avoid loss; those inner monologues, like Calvino. Dreamlike disappearance, dreamlike snow, now and then. Day and night have no meaning, nor does temperature. Darkness is really beautiful. Style from start to finish, no thought in sight. Supplement: I think those shots are more in line with the elegant and ethereal beauty of ancient Chinese aesthetics, such as the female violinist, the whole is detached, seeing the whole picture of the world in the details, and the piano music is fresh and natural; later the snow fell for a while Not for a while, as if transcending time into eternity in an illusion, ethereal and clear, quiet...
