Desperate love each other

The film's entry point is after World War II, but it uses montage to mix and cut the Nazi period. The male protagonist Max and the female protagonist Lucia can be called abuse, but I don't know if they can be called love love.
The tone of the whole film is depressing and heavy, and there is a test of human nature. The male and female protagonists meet again, and their status is reversed. One is the conductor's wife and the other is the gatekeeper. No one can pretend to forget that part, the feelings arising from the painful torture, so the film naturally begins a new round of entanglements.
Facing the trial, Lucia is the key witness, and the Nazi remnants must control or even eliminate them in order to cleanse themselves. Drop witnesses. However, Max and Lucia collided again with the feeling that he used to be, he was her abuser and protector during that period of detention. different people. Personally, I think Max is a little disdainful. In the film, he stubbornly chose to be the late-night gatekeeper. He didn't want to face the day, and it was also a redemption for himself.
In the end of BE, they abused each other and made love. They hid in the room for dozens of days. They ate up the dry food they had hoarded and were unbearably hungry. They finally chose to go out and walked on the bridge hand in hand. Two shots were fired. They probably still love each other, this kind of love is too complicated.

    Maybe I didn't feel suffocated and wanted to surrender, licking up the sweat you gave me. Maybe I have already adapted to sharing the bed with the kidnappers. Who would have guessed that I would be able to cooperate until I love each other to death... Eason Chan "Stockholm Lover"

    A film that devalues ​​modern love for men and women. The narration is a little rough, the rhythm is too slow, and I feel that the second half of the 1.5x speed playback will not feel inconsistent. But the emotional tension between the male and female protagonists is very strong. Charlotte Rampling is morbidly slender and fearless, and Dirk Bogard is twisted and proud and affectionate. Eighty percent of the play is in the eyes of these two. The gunshots at the end are enough to go down in film history.
