When I watched "Babel Tower" a few years ago, I didn't think it was very good. The segmented plot was deliberately strung together with several identical characters, and it still felt trivial and messy. Now the same director, although the clues are more confusing, but Harvier wanders around the corners of the bottom floor of Barcelona, with tension and relaxation, everything revolves around him, which is very good. Especially the inverted beginning of the snow in the forest at the end does not make people feel abrupt, as if a condensed summary of his life, put it at the beginning to give people a preliminary impression, it feels good.
Although the whole film is also about Barcelona, and the male protagonist is the same, but compared with "Midnight Barcelona", it is really different from heaven and hell.
The soundtrack is very good, there are not many places, but it is very delicate, the more elegant piano sound appears in the darker plot, the effect of contrast is self-evident.
The only thing that is uncertain is the same-sex plot of two Chinese men, what is the purpose?
Although wrong, he is not ashamed of his life.
