Feeling of pressure

At the beginning, I thought the director was a bit poetic, or that it would be uninteresting like .
However, as the plot progressed, "Love Roaming in Paris" became the "Yankee Roaming France Horror Incident", forcing the audience to feel the discomfort of the male protagonist at every moment and to suffocate with him. Of course, this helps to understand the plot, but it goes too far, and the ears are constantly bombarded with French, which makes me suffer. It's funny but it's not.
Besides, if it ends with the heroine's spiritual monologue, why is the heroine's inner feelings almost never described in the play? There is no beginning or end to come to an inner confession, which makes people not interested in paying attention to the content at all, and adding a nondescript happy ending is really terrible.
What is the theme of this play? I think it's because of the unexpectedly rapid deterioration of a relationship in just two days in Romantic Flower Capital and how easily human minds can be misled? Coupled with the hatefulness of Americans (older American tourists), the arrogance of French people (female cashiers in vegetarian restaurants), a list of French family situations, and don’t call firefighters

if you have a hose... ; but other than that, you'd think this drama was sponsored by the Anti-French League.

PS The heroine has no temperament and is also one of the boring elements.

    I watched it at the museum last night, and the audience laughed. Although Julie Delpy's films are all in the same style and discuss the same issue, they don't feel repetitive, because anyway, love is a major theme in life.

    Look half abandoned. It's also a babble, this one is a thousand times worse than midnight, and it magnifies the feeling of julie's energy. I don't like it.
