dream love

With a poem like a dream, it tells a love dilemma. There's very little frontal dialogue throughout the film, and it's not loud, like background sounds or whispers.

There are chasing and playing in the empty seaside or grassland, and there are no opposites and no words in the same picture. The tenderness of love, the fragmentation of love, the care of love, and the hurt of love are all in the picture. People who have loved, face fragmentation, and after the experience, they will remember from afar, everything is like a dream, there is no clear logic, only a few key words, first love, infatuation, indulge and escape.

In fact, to put it simply, there is nothing missing in this story, the loneliness, consolation, lust, betrayal, and hurt in a typical love story. These things that can be shown with lines are all in the background, it is just what love carries.

There is a priest in the movie, and the third will narrate the inner man, and he is also exploring love, divine love, eternal love. Is there such love? We are only mortals.

Although there is little dialogue in the whole story, the story is still very clear, and the meaning is clear and not popular. The cinematography is well-composed and beautiful.

    I have always identified in my heart with this world: the known and unknown, and even the universe as a whole that has always existed as a ubiquitous totality of consciousness, and this film certainly provides that perspective

    The three characters with inner monologues (Olja/Rachel/Baden), without exception, are all disguising their lives, placing their self-dependence in some unrealistic medium, escaping, fantasizing, demanding, and adapting. When it comes to the love relationship, there is a huge contrast of incompatibility, one party breaks free due to erratic personal desires, and the other party is damaged. Although sad at the end of the film, it seems to be watching her happiness from a distance with a gratifying smile.
