The adventure of running into the wrong theater

Maybe it's because the thought of not wanting to watch "Cut the Belly" has already occurred in my mind, and I jumped into the theater but (as I wished) went to the wrong theater (the fault is not mine, the theater number on the ticket is wrong...), big The opening credits just ended on the screen and the main movie started - well, that's it!

But I don't know the name of the movie or who the director is...

The core of the story is a common theme of persuasion grouping - my boyfriend and my best friend are in love! It's just that the "me" in the film is missing, and my boyfriend and my best friend have a huge psychological hole because of this, and they try to find "me" together. Two people who are suddenly placed in the same emotional state, the void touches the void, and inadvertently sparks of love...

It's a bit like Naruse's "Crazy Clouds". The perpetrator of the car accident falls in love with the victim's wife... But what Naruse talks about is the impossibility of love, and the moral element in this film is much weaker. Various possibilities of human emotions.

The best friend was with her boyfriend, but this was a man who couldn't control his lower body. He soon got involved with a social girl, and was discovered by his best friend. Then the best friend was disillusioned, and the man regretted and even cried. He The tears are probably saying: I want to do the good, but I don't do it; I don't want to do the evil, but I do it. I am also a victim of humanity, I cry...

Then my best friend...forgave him...

After reading it, it feels very bloody and confusing. When I went home, I checked that the director was Antonioni. It turned out to be the case. His film really felt this way. It seemed deep, but it was boring and chaotic. The advantage is that the lens is beautiful, the language of the film is good, but the story is just that.

Supplement: It turned out that Antonioni and Angelopoulos were confused, but the two directors gave me the same feeling... Both are committed to presenting a modern mental state of empty, chaotic, mysterious and unable to find an outlet...
