I belong to the category of ordinary moviegoers!
The film uses flashbacks, interludes, and sequences to tell the story of an old widower's obscure desire for a young girl's body! This old widower tried every means to take possession of the girl's body, and there were always different obstacles at every critical moment! Lots of funny scenes! The basic desire of an old man is to be firmly held in his hand by the girl. Until the end of the film, the man does not possess the girl's body, and people who have watched the film believe that even if the film continues, the result will be the same. It's just that there are more different reasons!
I won't talk about the plot, think about why the director interprets a person's basic desires in this way, as if to say: the more things you can't get, the more people will have endless desires! Yes, an old widower lacks everything except a mistress. Why is this mistress always missing? Could it be that this old man likes to be alone, so why does he want to marry a girl? I vaguely feel that it should be because of my heart! Otherwise, such a big family will have no mistress for a long time! The heroine (the girl) in the film is very aware of the desires of such an old widower: the more you don't get it easily, the more you want to possess it!
It should be for this reason! The director added some imagination to make the contradictions and conflicts of this film more dramatic, and it turned into a lighthearted and intriguing comedy!

    At first I thought it was a Kaizi textbook, but I found it wasn't. Later, I thought it was a textbook of immortal dancing, but I found out that it was not. Later, I thought it was to satirize the self-righteous bourgeoisie, but it was not entirely true. Later, I thought it was to ridicule the green tea bitch who was a bitch and established a torii, but it was not entirely true. I thought it was to show all kinds of "death" and fraud in love, but it's not, it's all, it's not.

    Old movies are so fun! Buñuel's finale at the age of 77. I admire his total control over the rhythm of the film (skills of procrastination, manipulative play) and his natural use of those surreal elements (mice, flies, piglets, sacks). The two play a part, and the French one is indeed unusual. reflection of the political situation. A mockery of the absurdity of the middle class. SM's kernel. Mystery. sense of humor.
