Because of the Palme d'Or, because of the actress, and because the male protagonist is James Spader.

This film shows how important actors are. The female protagonist's way of speaking, accent, eyes, the male protagonist's eyes, movements, two people framed together are full of tension.

The most interesting thing about this film is that there is absolutely no tension between the two people who are having an affair and have sex scenes, and the two people who have nothing happened, just rely on the eyes and the dialogue to make people feel that there are hormones everywhere. One can't help but feel that the charm of sex is not in the process of physical implementation, but in the previous interaction. If it is represented by a parabola, if the beginning of the physical implementation is the apex, the previous interaction is a process of continuous accumulation of energy, and the tension between the two people gradually rises.

    7 points. The kind that doesn't like it but admits it's good. There was a certain avant-garde in that era. I really like that kind of "Zhengda Theater" style. The furniture display, character modeling and film coloring all have the flavor of that era, and it is very comfortable to look at. It can be regarded as a discussion of the possibility of sex, which is quite touching. That kind of sisterhood is interesting. My sister is very attractive. I don't think Ann and Graham will be happy together either.

    It is so profound and has nothing to do with sex.
