7/10
The most memorable dialogue after watching the movie is the first half of the movie. The hero rests his head on the belly of the heroine, they share a cigarette, and then the hero speaks:
"What is your ultimate fancy?"
"Sex."
The heroine only thought for a second before answering.
I have always believed that the primary goal of an erotic film is to arouse the viewer's sexual desire. But this is often not easy, after all, such a subtle sensory experience requires just the right amount of objective conditions and mental states. From this point of view, the first thing I praise is the scene where the male protagonist takes the female protagonist to an underground erotic place. The red light drives the naked desire. In fact, it is impossible to see too many details of the body (because it is very dark), But the gasp and the blurred figure were clearly more convincing.
Extremely balanced and solemn shots with delicate nudes and red eyes. The red of desire, the red of anger, the red of loneliness, the red of lingering, this kind of light is really tried and tested, and I am deeply impressed.
Stream-of-consciousness narrative is quite clever, and Gaspar Nou has used the narrative skills and style shown in "Irrevocable" in "Love" without reservation. The monologue of the male protagonist helps the viewer to understand the messy timeline to a certain extent, and also shows the psychology and part of the main theme.
The soundtrack is excellent, post-rock, symphony, classical guitar, piano, rock, electronic, everything. I strongly suggest that after filming a pornographic film, add a little pure music without copyright, it will definitely soar.
My favorite technique is the rhythmic transitions and cuts, which strip the value of the montage itself and replace it with a black screen. The final frame change is accompanied by the puppet-like hero and heroine-Gaspar Noh pursues the sense of ritual harshly in erotica, in other words, he is playing with erotica. Speaking of absurdity, this kind of love comes from life so much, and speaking of the truth, he seems to deliberately teach the audience to distance themselves from the world in the movie.
The advantages are prominent, and the disadvantages are magnified at the same time.
Obviously, the story is flat and terrifying. This kind of love and sex that almost shields the whole world can't help but feel empty. If it's longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. Love is love. If there is a disagreement, you will talk about eternity, life and death, and you are not an adolescent boy or girl. Why are you so hypocritical? Maybe Gaspar Nou himself, as the actor said, just wanted to make such a movie that was simply full of "romantic sex".
Finally, Jing Shiheng said: When faced with "the most extreme pleasure in life", boys must control their lower bodies. Otherwise, one day you will regret sitting in the bathtub crying, thinking about the person you will never forget, holding the person you don't love and the child you share with you. Then in the world of love, to decay, and finally to death.
