Movie notes-the end of the truth

1. I have been following this movie since Cannes, but I didn't know that the story took place in France. So when the heroine Marie appeared at the beginning, I was surprised that Iranian women can now not wear a hijab?
2. I like Ashar Fahadi's movies very much, because he makes me feel particularly intimate and immersive, as if they are an invisible person, they just stand in front of me and do their own things without realizing it. At first, no sound was heard face-to-face, and the changes in external noise after the door was opened and closed were very delicate.
3. When Samir first appeared, I thought it was the hero Ahmad who shaved. So later his daughter Lucie said that the reason why her mother found that idiot was because he looked like you.
4. When Marie and Ahmad went to court, Samir called. The hostess’s mobile phone rang twice, and Ahmad’s suitcase arrived. Flip the gift and be punished as a pavement. Of course such details abound. What I want to say is the conversation between Loli and Masata who complained to each other after being punished: ———— "The box is open, but I never took a gift." —————— "I didn't say you would take it too" ———————— "I know why you are upset, because you didn’t get the helicopter." This logic coincides with the logic of the whole story, it’s not right. Wrong, and no one thinks it will be their own fault.
5. I don't know if Samir's employees like Samir or not. The movie didn't tell us why Ahmad left and why he didn't see the email. Marie really didn't book a hotel for the reasons she said, and why Samir's wife Selena was depressed. So the movie has no truth at all. We thought we saw the truth, but in fact every truth was proved to be an illusion of another truth. Even if the movie later clearly told us that the dirty skirt was soiled by Xiaozheng Tai Fouad, there is no guarantee that another character will not appear to prove that this is actually an illusion. The truth of the story is not important at all. What is important is whether we can realize the truth in love.
6. "The Past" is far less tense than "A Farewell"
