Five stars for "fine"

Five stars, but where?

The ambiguous theme of the old cow eating the tender grass? No, it's a lot scarier these days...
the eternal theme of patience? No, it's past the age of a little girl...
a handsome boy and an old beauty? Not yet, although it is eye-catching, it can't be too dark....
Gorgeous costumes and tones? Still not, tempting, but not worth five stars after all.

Where is that for?
After thinking about it, it was for that delicate psychological entanglement.

The name is "Chéri", so the boy is the protagonist. That's why, even more than Shirley's old lover and his little wife, they are actually the same, just a touch of color.
As a result, the "real" or fragrant or touching love story retired, and the highlight of the two people's story became the growth of one person. The growth of a boy.
And then, I can see such rich and delicate psychological entanglement, layer by layer, which is amazingly dense.

    Although the love of young and old has been watched by many, the line skills of this film will make it feel like watching a drama.

Chéri quotes

  • Cheri: Stop it, Nounoune! I can't allow you to ruin my idea of you!

    Lea de Lonval: What?

    Cheri: Talking like that, you remind me of my mother!

  • Lea de Lonval: Did you really think I was such a good person? If I'd been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking but nothing but your pleasure and my happiness.
