Master classics can be criticized

This is a mishmash of Italian directors, American actors, and French stories. Whatever the picture of Ma Long, this movie is similar to the 1972 "Godfather", but it is very cool to play a middle-aged man in this movie. I have to say that this bastard's acting skills are indeed top-notch. This is a teaching demonstration film of a master. It uses all the methods that can be written into textbooks. The performance of the actors is also exemplary, but I did not enjoy it.

Story:
Young French girl Jane is going to rent an apartment. On the way, a middle-aged man's sad face attracted her, because the despair displayed on it was unparalleled and unforgettable. Coincidentally, they fell in the same apartment and had their first relationship inexplicably. When Jane went to the apartment for the second time, the guy who always looked dead was already moving furniture in, and Zhen fell in love with him. I don’t know if other people who have watched this movie remember, one shot is very attractive: they look at the apartment together, when Jane opens a blind, the light comes in all of a sudden, and it is very informative to the middle-aged man. Then the camera moved, swept across the window, and pulled into the room. Jane looked back at that time, and the background music was surging like a tide, very moving.

The middle-aged man named Paul. His wife just committed suicide and exposed his extramarital affair. This may be the reason why Paul desperately wants to have a life (True TM petty bourgeoisie), but he has erupted with a strong physical desire to return to light, and Jane seems to be just right. Need this. So the spring was leaning in the simple apartment, and they drank each other's blood and body fluids.

More stories take place in the play. Jane’s boyfriend Tom wants to make a movie about Jane, so there is Jane’s childhood, and then there is Paul’s Chen Zhizhi Rotten Grain, as a member of the proletariat , I cannot understand the meaning of their grief, why Paul has always been so dead, and why Yizhen prefers him. Tom, as a classmate in the secular sense, has once again suffered unfair treatment from the director. Jane doesn't like him all the time, so let's fight the injustice. This ridiculous little boy is indeed a little cuter.

When Jane resolutely ran from the bridal shop to the apartment without saying goodbye, Paul went to the apartment. However, the desperate Jane met Paul on the street with a grinning face. It turned out that he had walked out of the shadow of depression and hoped to start with Jane again. They weighed each other up again, Jane made the right decision, and finally shot and killed the stalker Paul.

This is a tragedy in the sense of remorse. We always can’t keep up with the other’s beat. We either step on our feet or let go. Among the strict tango dancers, we are a pair of completely funny clowns who turn our heads in three steps. Rhythm can't do it either.

    Rewatch. Bertolucci expresses himself through Malone: ​​the lover of dreams, the passion of youth and the decadence of middle age. The film explores many dimensions of things, very French. Midlife crisis, cheating, homosexuality, Oedipus. The photography is as lively and captivating as the jazz soundtrack. The composition is unique, the scheduling is first-rate, and the space is explored together. Inspired by painter Bacon. Enjoyed Malone's performance (though he didn't like the production himself). 129 points version

    A lot of sports shots, and the saxophone in the soundtrack is quite powerful. The old man seeks relief from the pain of loss, and he finds the young woman, as if he has regained his former strength and holds hope. But she no longer thinks so after going through several tortures.
