Aside from the fact that it's about plague times, there's another reason for Juliette Binoche, and I'd love to collect all the films she's acted in. I don't like her in "The English Patient", I don't think she should lower her price to play that supporting role, that bouncing nurse. This is an actress with an angelic face, not to say she is beautiful, her face is always intertwined with a simple, noble, confused and profound temperament, as if she can express everything with just a pair of eyes, her artistic temperament revealed.
"Cavalry on the Roof" is not her best performance. The male lead Olivier Martinez is also very good. It is incomparable with "Blue" in which she almost supports a movie by herself, and of course it cannot be surpassed. The story takes place in the south of France in the early 19th century. At that time, cholera was rampant, and a large number of people in the epidemic area died. There were corpses everywhere, and crows flew everywhere. It was a crazy area. Two men and women who happened to meet in the epidemic area, a handsome Italian knight and a beautiful Marchioness, embarked on an exciting and romantic journey in order to escape the isolation, and gradually developed love, which is also logical, the two A young, beautiful and brave person, with the same noble temperament, although the king has no wife, it is a pity that Luo Fu has a husband, and it happened in a relatively conservative era. The expression and handling of emotions are forbearance and subtlety. Unable to express their feelings, when faced with separation, the two can only resort to quarreling. However, the woman suddenly becomes seriously ill, and the person who carries the virus will die suddenly. The knight once saw a doctor die in front of his eyes, and his rescue measures were also ineffective, but this time, in the face of death, he no longer cared so much, untied the woman's clothes and rubbed his body desperately, so that his body could heat up, Maybe it's a miracle of love. The response of love can indeed produce miracles in many cases, and a woman actually wakes up. She returned to her husband, the knight returned to the country to join the revolution, and the lingering sound of a relationship lingered.
The knight performed by Olivier Martinez is indeed full of chivalry, and he is also a young man with strong will and perseverance, which gives the film more romantic colors. The French countryside in the lens is very layered, and the ordinary scenery is beautifully photographed. Maybe this is the best photographer.
