"Fantasy Love"

The film proves that Xavier Dolan is totally my thing, and the success of "I Killed My Mom" ​​is no accident.

Although he still records his youth, the emotions pervaded by the film are completely different from that of the debut film. The previous film has more injections into his own experience itself, and the deep-seated and even painful things are more direct; then the later film has added many of his own feelings, To love, to friendship, to the new wave, to screen symbols like Hepburn and Dean, to poetry, to music... everything is pure, and all feelings are pure.

Of course, when it comes to the language of his camera, there are not too many new things, slow motion, paranoia of the back, close-ups from all angles, the insertion of outsiders' words...

But for me, it is still a very pleasant journey.

Now all the admiration is based on his age, his sensitivity to the world behind the camera, his courage to face his inner self, his mastery of the genius and passion of film techniques, and his exploration of the actor's characteristics; of course, in front of the camera Delicate and flawless.

Looking forward to "Lawrence of Two Sides", what kind of spark can he create with Louis Garrel? Continue to pay attention to its long-term development in the future.

    Hey, it's actually the wishful thinking of a man and a woman. There are too many Niku males/females in life, and the ambiguous masters will make you want to stop.

    Is this kind of thing that is completely beautiful all the time, is it mode or cinema? Anyway, I did not love it as a movie at all. All the details/angles are beautiful to death, even the rhythm and the music are beautiful. (However, Dolan's lines are actually quite funny, but unfortunately, the accent does not have a few lines of subtitles in the whole film, and I haven't heard many of them).

Heartbeats quotes

  • Marie: A high IQ is a vital counterpoint to brown eyes.

  • Marie: I love to smoke. Smoking a cigarette is like... forgetting. When I hit rock bottom, it's all I have. Light up, smoke up, shut the fuck up. It hides the shit. The smoke... hides... the shit. There's menthol and vanilla. Some people like 'em. Menthol cigarette. Vanilla cigarette. Chocolate cigarette. Cigarette cigarette. Cigarettes clearly keep me from going crazy. Keeps me alive. It keeps me alive until I die.
