I thought I would fast-forward to finish watching this typical French literary film, but I actually finished watching it completely, which is quite memorable. Although the subject matter is gloomy and depressing to the extreme, the director and the photographer are really clever. The photographer took the hospital and the surrounding scenery beautifully. The most "killing" scene is when Jean and his lover go on vacation and get out of the car. Shooting the unattractive lover's long hair, the film received rave reviews, and the director and cameraman are absolutely indispensable. In addition to the beauties around him, the actor's performance is also superb. After watching the initial clip, I almost suspected that this was a realistic documentary.
In the 1990s, before eye-tracking technology was probably even conceived, a paralyzed accident could kill almost everyone's will and mind. But this dude who rolls around in the beauties all day, has not lost his humanity and strength in the face of his withering body. I wondered if his lover finally had the courage to visit him, but when he confronted his ex-wife and said to his lover "I expect you to come every day", this dear man really lived through. As the editor-in-chief of "Elle", it's not bad that he still likes women, and he really shouldn't be accused of his carelessness.
