Catherine Deneuve

I admit that I only wanted to see Deneuve naked when I first learned what this movie was about, when I was little. . . . .
The first time I saw Deneuve was watching "Beautiful Pictures" on the movie channel. At that time, I couldn't understand the kind of affair of Emmanuelle Bea, but I was attracted by Deneuve.
Later, "Beauty in the Day" disappeared from my interest, because I had a better one. Recently, I saw a comment by chance, and I found this movie again to fulfill my unfulfilled wish when I was a teenager.
The story is very strange. It turned out to be a movie adapted from an erotic novel. Deneuve is a middle-class housewife. Her husband is busy with work every day and cannot meet the needs of his wife. At first, she just fantasized about some abuse plots. Became a prostitute. However, she was a high-level call girl, and she only received regular customers introduced by a prostitute. Because she had to get home before her husband came home, she only worked from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. every day, so she had a daytime beauty. title.
It really echoes Eileen Chang's words, "Serious women hate fox spirits, but if they have the opportunity to try it, none of them will not be eager to try it." It is "Her coldness is a kind of gentle thorny thorn, which will pierce men's hearts, arouse their desire to fight, and use the rose representing love as their badge of battle." She should belong to the kind that is by your side, But you can never guess what she is thinking. Even if she says "no" in disdain, some people will tell others like crazy: "She spoke to me!", others will say excitedly: "Do something more and let her continue". This kind of temperament is innate, she doesn't need to say anything to make men crazy, and next to her, all the flattering behaviors made by men are like clowns pleasing the audience. This situation has not even changed because of the passage of time and the old age. Deneuve, who is over half a hundred years old, still retains the temperament of his youth. French director Truffaut once said: "Catherine is not a flower. It is stupid to compare such a woman to a flower, let alone a compliment. Catherine is a vase for the audience. Flowers and cheers." She has collaborated with almost all the masters in Europe in the last era, including Roman Polanski, Buñuel, Melville, Oliveira, etc., but in her twenty-third filming It was only after 20 years that he won the first important award in his life with "The Last Subway".
Maybe beauty is the resistance that hinders the progress of all actresses. Most of the world just saw her appearance like the Snow Queen, or like me, they just want to see her naked. However, she herself was very relieved, saying that it did not affect herself because of this.
Now she lives like an ordinary person, leaving her iconic smile and light on the film, making people speculate over and over again, what is she thinking?
