French slash psychoanalysis film

France, which has produced such a master of psychoanalysis as Lacan, is probably very good at making this kind of film, as long as the psychoanalysis is as conservative as the Americans. I borrowed the shell of an American slash movie and told an Americanized story in the French way. Those who say the loopholes without understanding obviously do not know that the author's intention is that only the so-called story exists in the mental hospital, and all other plots are the fantasy of the heroine. The heroine in the film has never left the mental hospital. receiving treatment in there. This logic is the favorite of mainstream American psychoanalytic films, because it classifies all human irrational behaviors as understandable pathologies.
What's really interesting about this film is the way the French are filmed. The subjective perspective of the camera plays an important role in portraying the character's heart, and the atmosphere created by the space scheduling in the big house at the beginning is very good. The editing is smooth, and the clip in which the killer appears while listening to music and masturbating is quite wonderful, creating a certain sense of ominous and disharmony, and there is also a hint of personality splitting after the arrival of the desire of the heroine's inner world. But in some places (such as the scene where the heroine sees the phone in the room) too fast. The exaggerated use of light sources (car lights, torches, etc.) is also interesting. The use of bloody technology is not a good comment. I don't watch slash movies very much, but exaggerated blood spurting seems to be the way the French like it. The actors are very hardworking, give one more star.
