"Annette", score: 8.7. The whole process exploded. It is not Karax's best work but the most mature and distinctive work of personal style. The look and feel of the whole film can only be described by explosion. The opening so may we start and One shot leads to the beginning of the actors and performances. The delicate long shots of musical films, the highly saturated lighting of stage plays, and the high and intense character dialogues of traditional stage plays are all integrated into this "Annette" by Karax, and The Hollywood News broadcast method has been used many times to advance again and again, and the scenes are constantly externalized on the stage of large operas and talk shows. The relationship between the heroine Ann and the male protagonist Henry in the film can also be seen as the relationship between traditional opera and emerging talk shows. It also shows the author's struggle for stage sovereignty. At the beginning, Ann was saving the audience while Henry was provocative. Satisfying the audience with the murder of the audience, Henry began to test the audience's bottom line step by step, blaspheming the audience's desire to control their sovereignty, so he told the story of killing his wife on the stage, reflecting the author's subjective resistance to the audience. On another level, the film also reflects the relationship of inspection in the image. Henry and Ann gradually lose themselves in the constant inspection of the audience, and their child Annette is also like the weird marionette in the film. Control, loss of self, only when Annette finally faces the death of her mother in a storm and her father in prison for killing the conductor, does she escape the public scrutiny from a puppet to a living person, while her father Henry Being scrutinized even in the prison where the audience is removed is the deepest fear. And the reason why Henry acted to kill Ann was that he never understood what Ann liked in him, so he denied Ann's success, especially the way she called the curtain like those of the great characters, either suicide or homicide, in Henry In his eyes, Ann is the symbol of those great female victims, so he inevitably wanted to participate in it, but in the end Ann drowned in the storm, not suicide or deliberate homicide, so that the gender antagonism created by Karax returned. in place. Karax infuses his personal speculativeism into the revenge and killings engendered by this grotesque love story, many of which include such things as Raging Bull, Two Flowers, Macbeth, Ellen In the shadow of Poe's horror novels and David Lynch's psychoanalysis, Karax uses mixed audio-visual language to construct a very surreal dramatic texture, even if it is not Karax's best work, it is completely divine. do.
