But the director must not only want to express that it is just an erotic literary film, but in fact, it is a deeper depiction of the choice between love, desire and family affection in the depths of the person's heart.
Director François Ozon, as "the most handsome director in French film history", shoots films like his appearance, always exuding an unavoidable and unforgettable glare.
The style of the film is basically dark and humorous, with a taste of psychological analysis, and it is subversive. Exploring people's inner desires and deviant emotions. The expression of love is very bold, and this film is the same.
The depressed heroine Chloe always chose to see a psychiatrist under the doctor's recommendation because her stomach was always aching and she could not get relief after seeing many doctors.
In the process of speaking and listening, Chloe gradually fell in love with Paul, a psychiatrist.
Paul also has an emotional impulse because of Chloe's unique charm.
The two were involuntarily together. Chloe's depression has also improved dramatically.
The plot happened here is a popular and beautiful (beautiful from the director's shooting) love story. But this kind of simple plot is not suitable for the director's style, so he naturally came to a turning point.
As the two get along further, Chloe discovers a secret about Paul.
Because Chloe was born with the environment and the influence of the growth process on her, she is particularly sensitive and impulsive.
She does not tolerate deception and concealment.
Curiosity killed the cat, women are born to think too much.
In order to pursue a so-called truth that he wants to know, Chloe, the ego, stepped into a whirlpool step by step.
The human mind is unpredictable. The emotional changes in each person are also elusive.
The scary thing is that desires and jealousies that you can't control yourself will endlessly grow with negative emotions.
Chloe is like this, she thinks she has spied Paul's secret - the twins' brother Louis. But in fact, she just approached the fog in her heart.
Under the dual guidance of love and desire, Chloe constantly struggles between Paul and Louis.
Flesh intercourse, lustful intoxication. The thrill of twins and indescribable fantasies of twins fills Chloe's brain. Chloe thought that she just wanted to feel this way, but there was another self in her heart who kept saying that it was sinful.
Although Chloe and Louis are candid, it may be that desire takes control of the body at first, but the emotion is ultimately deeper.
Chloe finally felt that she still loved Paul.
So she struggled to get out of the maze.
This film isn't just about love. Rather, I want to say that the transgression and sinking of desires are placed within the theme of the twin relationship, exploring the various possibilities of ethics, gender and self-personality.
What makes people feel the visual contrast is the scene of Chloe sitting in the art museum in a daze. In the museum, she was quietly portrayed in those twin specimens. At that moment, she was hypnotized, confused, and addicted to it like a hallucinogen, and then It is the subconscious meaning of the self, and the twin sister in the heart comes alive.
The uncontrollable "later" caused Chloe to shoot Louis impulsively.
When Louis fell in front of Chloe, her emotions exploded, her inner nightmare finally woke up, and the severe abdominal pain finally brought her back to reality.
Everything was just created by Paul to heal Chloe. Paul is him, and so is Louis.
The combination of gentleness and violence is the psychiatrist's unique therapy.
The open belly oozes the symptoms of years of depression.
Uncontrollable pain is like an unbridled inner lust.
Her hopeful thoughts of starting over were just a bunch of parasitic excess meat that had to be culled in the end.
Perhaps a large amount of shock perceived in a short period of time may not necessarily be fully accepted and absorbed.
But the growing pain can only accelerate man's sinking into destruction.
People's emotions and desires will have a difficult side, but you must learn to digest and bury them yourself. Allowing it to grow will only make you sink deeper.
In the end, the director did not let the film darken to the end, but chose to let the heroine get the liberation of the shackles of the heart and the emotional shackles.
The resentment towards her mother due to her childhood situation was also relieved and forgiven, and she chose to return to normal emotionally.
Although life is always full of embarrassment, at least knowing how to face everything bravely is the end of human life. Even if it's just a superficial pretence.
After all, human beings absorb the nutrients of every day in various camouflaged coatings.
