No one is in love

I don't like it very much. The director's personal aesthetics are still good, and the integration of the style into Japanese society is not too inconsistent. The simplest lens includes the most complex visual information. But the beginning part is really not very good. Movies have a philosophy on space. A large space will be divided into a small space. There is a connection between the small space and the large space, but what happens in the small space is independent of the large space. For example, in the first scene, the phone is in the dining room, the professor's house is the bedroom and the whole house, and a TV screen is divided in the bedroom, and then there is the inside and outside of the car in the garage. Of course, this kind of space philosophy is not uncommon. Personally, I still think that the professor and the girl have no physical relationship, although many people in the comments think that the two are still asleep. First of all, the girl said on the bed which side are you going to sleep on, who should decide this matter before having a relationship? Secondly, I really doubt whether the professor still has that function. As for the "last shot" mentioned in the comments, no one has explained it clearly, and I don't dare to read it. Let me explain that the "last shot" is neither violent nor bloody, just a small shock.

    6/10. Iranian directors all like to have a situation in the small space in the car. The dating girl and her boyfriend sit in the old professor's car and drive to the repair shop. They naturally discuss the life philosophy of love and marriage, and they also derive Mingzi on the small advertisement. The embarrassing questioning of the image, unfortunately, the topic expression is often swallowed whole and lacks aftertaste. The old man does not crave sex, but finds his first love and affection for his granddaughter (which is completely deceitful and disguised) is the key.

    You won't find a new country, you won't find another ocean/The city will follow you forever/You'll walk the same streets, wander the same/blocks, turn gray in the same houses/You always came to this same city. --Kalfis, "The City"
