Extravagant love, not enough introspection

The scale is really big, but it doesn't feel tacky. The composition is really beautiful. I especially like a few scenes of her in the museum. The pictures are very clean and comfortable.

The director is actually playing a big game, and the layout in the front is all right. Whether it's the performance of eroticism or the elements of horror, people can watch it, especially the part of being chased by a car is a little nervous.

Regarding the appearance of cats, it is also quite scary in the movie. I have been wondering if the woman next door has made cats into taxidermy...

But there is a lack of feeling at the end, and it is deciphered before it is finished, and it cannot be too scrutinized. It feels that something is wrong when you think about it backwards. Who is sick?

It would be nice to have a deeper level of fear at the heart level.

About the movie plot:

A woman with a stomachache went to a psychiatrist for treatment, and the two fell in love one after another. By chance, the woman came into contact with the man's twin brother and had a relationship.

The woman walks between the two men until she becomes pregnant, the relationship changes, and the woman's psyche changes under the influence of her twin brother.

As she investigates, she discovers the brothers' secret...

The ending is slightly reversed, and I can't spoil it, otherwise, I won't feel it when I watch the front. The front really makes you think that this is the story of a woman and two men, and then you find out that it's all fake hhh

"No one has ever been saved by love."

Borrowing twin cannibalism and sex, Ou Rong explores a Kim Ki-deok-like love ethic, but tragically concludes that the source of life has always been dirty.

Regarding the two sides of the oneness of nature, an afterimage of fantasy unfolds in a state where the opposite sex repels each other and deviates from the same shape.

Memory loss and neurological deviance are hinted at in a number of details: the broken and self-recombining mirror surface, the segregation of males and females in rare tortoiseshell cats.

The smashing glass at the end of the movie is really scary, but I don't know if the mental illness has been cured, and I don't know if it's a split or something. Could it be that the stomach pain is not the root of the disease, but just the appearance? Treating the symptoms but not the root cause?

Although I did guess at the beginning whether the two men were schizophrenic, I found out later that they were not, they were both acting.

But that doesn't stop me from taking this as my understanding.

Or maybe both men exist, and the woman is the victim of the two brothers, but she just lost her memory hahahaha

The film is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, with both the audio-visual effects and the simplicity and sophistication of the aesthetic being outstanding. But all of the above seem to be just empty airs, and they have not been able to participate in the expression of the theme of the relationship between the twin concept and psychological thriller.

In fact, I still like Ou Rong's Cannes erotic thriller very much. The slightly "deformed" plot and erotic scenes can always retain a sense of curiosity, which is indeed bold and stunning. The whole double-sided lover is too real, even with a lot of mirror lenses and the final scientific explanation, it will inevitably give people a sense of being difficult to justify.

Evaluation, 7.8 points, it is recommended to take a look.

The scale is really big, it is not suitable for watching with friends, except for boyfriends and girlfriends hahahahahaha
