This "Midsummer of 1985" adapted from "Dancing on My Grave" was shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film List. What I thought of after watching this film was not the same type of call me by your name, but "Portrait of a Burning Woman" ". Cannes seems to like lgbtq-type French youth literature, maybe that's why Almodóvar sits on the jury? This French film has always been known for its classic oil paintings and romantic demise of love. If you look closely, you can find that although it is by the sea, such films have almost zero filling in the background, emphasizing a pure beauty. The color is also relatively thin and rich, and the use of the frame is very ceremonial. The difference between the two films is the gender of the director. The director of Midsummer is a very feminine-minded male director. He can express the difficulties in the heart of a 16-year-old boy, and he can also place the story in a two-line narrative that is not chaotic. realm. In comparison, the burning girl is a bit too slow. From the design of the ritualistic picture, the burning girl is impressive, including the fragment of painting the nude, and the burning fragment with the flame as the foreground. And Midsummer is more daring, including paying tribute to Sophie Marceau's party wearing headphones, dancing on the grave, and going to the morgue to meet her dead boyfriend in women's clothes. Maybe this is the most beautiful expression of the so-called youth literature, but I still hope that some directors can not be so obscure, and they can actually do better after learning the midsummer of 1985. Of course, "Portrait of a Burning Woman" is definitely my favorite. One of your favorite movies?
