Celine Schiamma's Tomboy continues the unique expression of queer desire in 2007's Daffodils.
For example, the part of chewing the gum she ate makes it easy to think of Marie secretly eating the green apple core that Floriane threw in the garbage bag in "Daffodils Blossoms".
And Anne buried her underwear in the yard of her male god's house,
But when the male god really wanted to have sex with her, she spit into the male god's mouth,
Then run away.
At the same time, you can also see the delicate tenderness and little fun in "Portrait of a Burning Woman" in 2019.
Emerald green composition, simmering emotions,
"Let you win, and your teammates will like you."
Laure/Mickael is both the target of the girls' desire and the object of identification.
When I was a child, I used red potion to draw hearts, used hair clippings to stick beards, sang nursery rhymes with a shower, and interviewed my sister.
Also make penis out of plasticine and store it in a small jewelry box for baby teeth.
She is the childhood self that we can't go back to in our memory,
It is also the ideal selves we once secretly wanted to be.
That sensitive, delicate, interesting, and good at football and fighting, hammering the stinky boy himself.
The context and scene design of the whole film is exquisite.
Queer desire is not only outside the regular school time (summer vacation),
And in the frolic and touch by the forest and river.
It is natural and normal to imply transgender identity .
The picture of the blue dress hanging from the tree is especially subtle.
The branches form the judgment of the cross, complementing the gender norms of the dress.
The biggest narrative suspense of the whole film is
"When will she be found"
When playing football, I watched her go shirtless and spit on the ground, fearing that she would be exposed
When I secretly ran to the grass, the boy who suddenly popped out gave me a heart attack
Wearing red swimming trunks that I cut myself and stuffed with clay penis made of green plasticine to swim,
Worrying about the plasticine falling out, showing, or deforming, twisting, dyeing...
Died on the spot.
Fortunately, the director gave a relatively gentle revealing moment.
Led by the mother, dressed neatly and went to another house to explain.
And avoid face-to-face verbal humiliation.
Although returning to my friends, the moment when Lisa is confirmed to be right, people are on the verge of collapse.
But at least,
The end of the film still retains the most tender strokes.
The sun is shining and the trees are shady.
Hello, my name is Laure,
Let's get to know each other again,
Let's do it all over again.
We know the moment of revelation is inevitable,
But empathy makes us hope,
She and we can get through it,
hold on,
Go down.
because she is us,
Because we like her.
