It's as strange as eating rock candy

After watching it, I thought it was an old movie. It turned out that it was filmed in recent years. It feels really strange. I feel a little greedy but can only eat rock candy. I've seen Dolan's fantasy love, I don't know if it's his usual rhythm or Canadian films are all this tune (I rarely dabble in Canadian films), it's a bit strange, it's not the kind of gimmick, the strangeness in form is just hidden In expressing meaning and presenting the strangeness of the picture. There are also some nice or interesting images, such as paper clips on fingers. The director is very young, in 1989~ This is quite a comparison, but the storytelling ability is still lacking, even if it is a long-distance love run, there is no need to cover everything, and the storyline is a bit far-fetched. His parties are always very MV-like (fantasy love too) with a mix of narrative and drama, and the tone is still a bit unclear. The immaturity in some shots is not a big flaw for young directors. It will be interesting to look at it from another angle. There are some direct interventions and expressions that can be seen from the director's first feeling, which are relatively unmodified or said. The more straight-line expression has a sense of realism and reckless power. The use of some scenes is also very interesting, of course not the kind of strangeness that is very favorable, such as the large tassels hanging from the space above the male protagonist, the water pouring down from the ceiling (is it a bridge like the moment), the sky is full Clothes...and some telephoto lenses. In fact, I am a telephoto lens enthusiast, and the focus point is easy to attract the viewer's attention. The service, transformation, and Taoism are very characteristic of the age and have intentions. In general, I don't have a lot of good feelings for this film, but in the long run, as the director matures, the film will still evolve to a large extent, which will be very interesting.
