body, youth

I want to talk about Bertolucci's "Dream of Paris" and "Stealing Incense" together. About the body, about youth.

Oil painting perspective, people are picturesque, people are in the painting, and people are seen in the painting. Whether it's Eva Green playing a Venus with a broken arm, the three of them running through the Louvre, or Liv Tyler's nineteen-year-old portrait sitting under a tree to attract everyone's attention. Everyone loves Lucy and her body, but at the age of nineteen, what she loves has nothing to do with sex but love itself. Her mother's appearance is blurred, and her biological father is unknown. She is looking for her father and love during the journey. It can be said that the search for self is realized in the process of seeking love. I like the way she refuses, the hibiscus out of water, the thorough and clean body, it is also the soul. She writes poetry, writes it on the corner of the book, tears it off, burns it with the fire of a candle wick, a secret feeling that can only be shared with those who love her. Focusing on the process of a girl-woman, the film is picturesque, slowly narrated, and beautiful.

One of the twins played by Eva Green, her twin brother, and a new young man from the United States gathered for a passionate movie. Behind the complicated relationship (family affection and lust) between her and her brother is her unwillingness to open her heart. The door accepted this new world, she said that she loved Americans, but in the end she still followed her brother. Americans and French, who became friends because of their love for movies, parted ways because of their different attitudes towards the revolution, their youth took on different colors.

It's about the bodies of girls and boys, about youth, about love and lack of love, nothing to do with eroticism, only the touch of oil paintings.
