Watching "Beauty in the Daytime"

A film worth scrutinizing, is the ending a fantasy, or is it the heroine's fantasy throughout? The movie is a satire of the middle class. The director is still relatively high-level and has a unique thinking. Such a beautiful married young woman with a wealthy family and a good husband, but no children and no sex, then had the idea of becoming a prostitute, and from time to time fantasized about being raped and abused. This kind of daydreaming of the heroine is getting more and more intense, and I doubt whether there will be schizophrenia in the future. It can be seen that how strong a desire a person has, no matter what, desire is also a bottomless pit. It really feels very surreal.

Monsieur Adolphe: [toast] To the person I care most about - - me!
