A film that smears the true feelings and warm reconciliation of father and daughter on the banter and the blade of embarrassment will inevitably bring out a trace of provocative blood, such as the geographical perspective of the European center on Romania, the middle class's overlooking perspective on the bottom, and the operation of the modern enterprise system. The internal exploitation of the film… All these critiques are presented not unconsciously but explicitly in the opposite way, thus constituting the social context of a film’s story, in other words, the banter is active and does not contain passive value judgments . The arc of father-daughter affection is reflected in the escalating embarrassing situation, especially the nude party as the climax of the event, bringing out the bizarre hug suggested by the poster, and suddenly ushered in a tear-jerking moment in the aftertaste of the climax of hilarious laughter. The twisting emotions between father and daughter were smashed out of juice and even flooded, and empathy swept over. The deliberately embarrassing situation, as a strong dramatic means, is the rolling pin that smashes the juice. It tells us how family affection affects us in an unimaginable and unspeakable extreme situation, because we are already numb in the face of daily life. Endless, we need arousal, we need stimulation.
There is nothing wrong with the ending, the small rhythm is played properly. When the father tried to summarize the statement and tried to be serious, a pair of dentures defused all seriousness and sensationalism. But after a knowing smile, I will be deeply touched by this summary.
In addition, it can represent the photography and editing style of modern film (2010s to present), concise, natural, focusing on off-screen space. Under the 160-minute volume, he boldly does not use any soundtrack, and constitutes a dramatic unit purely based on the creation of the situation, and it is the most "embarrassing" situation that tests the role of the group. It's a pity that it became the bead of Cannes that year (the Palme d'Or was "I Am Blake" and "Dipin the Wandering" the year before, the value is self-evident).
Narrative art should be wary of secularist tendencies when embracing realism. Fake realism is better than lack.
