Things are like clouds, life is like a play.

Assayas once said: "The film revolves around a central idea, which is time. Not as vague as philosophy, it revolves around the world in a perceptible way, such as how the face changes with time, How has the mood changed, and how have the people around you changed?”

The middle-aged man was once again asked to play the young and fearless Sigrid, but now he was told to play the older Helenna. Time flies, crawling through the skin, switching roles, and changing moods. Actors and roles overlap, scripts overlap with the current destiny, and real conversations and script exercises seem to be mixed together for a while and become indistinguishable.

The world is like a Maloya snake cloud floating in the mountains, and life is like a fantasy play through half a lifetime. Suddenly, it seems that I have gone to another world, and there will be new people living here again. Suddenly, it seems that all confusion, anger, and fear will be swallowed up by the silent and turbulent river of clouds.

Maria says that a lot of the time she's waiting for casual inspiration. Seems like Sontag once mentioned "We have to learn to see more, hear more, feel more. Our task is not to discover a great deal in a work of art, nor from what is already clear to extract more content from the work. Our task is to weaken the content so that we can see the work itself” coincides. I prefer to understand the works here as a feeling, or a certain tendency.

The tendency here may be as the screenwriter who finally found Maria said, people can't choose their own era, and they can't choose their own age. Time cannot be chosen, but the heart can choose. She has a power that transcends time that she may not even be aware of. The inner spirit and inner freedom of man are so unpredictable yet so persistent that even the passage of time cannot destroy them.

    Dramatic reality and the passage of time, elegant and brutal. Many aspects of the relationship between women can be seen in the rehearsal of the drama and life between the two.

    The ingenious thing about the movie is that, different from other 'play within a play' movies, which pursue the perfection of inner correspondence, the perfection of correspondence in this film is broken after the inexplicable disappearance of the female assistant, and Binoche is still playing the middle-aged in her heart. Female Helena, and Chloe Moretz no longer plays the same Sigrid
