"I Am Love" is such a story. The story of a wealthy wife who finally could not stand the loneliness and bondage and defected after "working" for thirty years.
The film neither entertains nor impresses me. Although it is labeled as "made in italy", it is far from what I expect from European-made literary films.
* The story is very bland, although the plot can be described as ups and downs, but it is not convincing;
* The description of the characters is very pale, probably there are too many characters, so the personalities and relationships of many characters pass by like a dragonfly;
* The angle of photography is very special But the graphics (including the supposedly attractive Italian village and sex scenes) are anything but beautiful.
* The music is nice, but most of it seems to have a wrong picture, or there is a kind of overwhelming intensity.
*Thank God, Tilda Swinton's performance is excellent, she adds a lot of flair to an otherwise thin plot in between.
In short, just like the title, the whole film left me with a contrived impression, gorgeous but not touching.
Maybe whoever you marry will be a job after thirty years. Just marrying the poor often gives no chance to escape anything. This is probably the reason why this film doesn't impress me the most. Its storyline lacks contradictory foreshadowing and justifiable conflict—it doesn't tell me exactly why Rong Zigui's rich wife is unhappy. Being rich seems to be her husband's only fault.
