This kind of topic that seems to occupy the East Asian film and television drama, unexpectedly began to emerge in European art films, one of the most important reasons is the rapid development of the Internet era. We are in a time and space where the distance from each other is getting closer and closer, and more convenient network technology has made communication readily available. However, people have never been able to break through the barriers of emotional communication: it is difficult for people to meet each other frankly in the virtual world. Assayas explored the impact of the Internet and online communication software on the psychology of modern independent women in Private Shopper, and that interesting discussion carries over into the film. There is nothing wrong with middle-aged divorced women finding love again through online dating. Everyone has the freedom and right to pursue love. The heroine is constantly involved in lies and even mental breakdown in online dating, all because she cannot bravely face the problems of age and aging, and can only choose to use deceit to cover up her weakness in exchange for temporary psychological satisfaction. Through the intervention of a psychiatrist and two endings, real and fictional, the script further clarifies the theme: the difficult process of women gradually recognizing their identity and gender advantages, and finally accepting themselves. Juliette Binoche vividly interprets an independent and self-reliant single mother, who has extensive knowledge but cannot discern the boundaries of sexuality, paranoia and jealousy, and the interpretation of psychological struggles make this character who is on the verge of schizophrenia extremely credible. The actress-level acting skills are also enough to cover up the emotionally overflowing design in the script, as well as the relatively low-end plot reversal.
