Only then did I realize that the lens in the literary film rarely pushes and pulls, but moves a lot.

There's really still some sense of homage to the master movies, because it's still unintelligible to me. I didn't understand Eric Rohmer's "Women Who Collected Men," and so did this "Margot at a Wedding."
The very hand-held shooting technique, using entirely natural light, made some images too dark and blurry to see. Nicole is still a little too beautiful, and the wrinkles on her face add a little realism. The dialogue language of the film is still easy to understand, but everyone is a little neurotic when they speak. The family was so unusual, the neighbors were so unusual, and everyone was so crazy and rude.
I am incoherent myself.

    I want to go deeper, but it only shows superficial phenomena. The whole film is boring and nothing new.

Margot at the Wedding quotes

  • Malcolm: I wanna punch that guy in the nose.

    Pauline: You've never hit anyone.

    Malcolm: I have too!

    Pauline: Who?

    Malcolm: Lots of people. You don't know them. They're not around cause I punched them.

    Pauline: [bursts out laughing]

  • Margot: You know, Pauline told me she's very disappointed in you.

    Claude: Why?

    Margot: She thinks you laze about the house. Ingrid is always offering to help clean or cook. She made bracelets for all the guests. Even Malcolm puts up the tent. You just wait until everyone else does it for you.

    Claude: That's not true.

    Margot: It is true. I wish I taught you better manners...

    Claude: I can try to make pop-overs. If I remember how...

    Margot: Don't bother.

    [She looks at him with grave disappointment]

    Claude: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Margot: I just see how much you've changed. Your body language. You used to be rounder and more graceful. You're so stiff now, so blasé.

    Claude: What do you mean?

    Margot: I can't explain it.

    [She sees the tears in his eyes]

    Margot: It's okay, though.

    Claude: Uh-huh.

    [He stands up and starts walking away]

    Margot: You're still handsome!
