A love poem written to Berlin is so beautiful that with just a few strokes, the intention of water is pushed out of the screen and poured on people, making people drift along with the characters involuntarily. It may be the best love movie of the year, or it may be the combination of director + actor + script at its peak, just like last year's «Cold War». Silently remembered a few things about a person, and cried in the theater.

Three layers of text: national mythology, urban history, personal love. Ventini is interspersed in three layers of text, in mythology as a water god, in history as a name on an underwater bridge, and in love as a lover who suddenly appears, disappears unexpectedly, and always haunts. The most beautiful thing is that Undine is said to be transparent, phantom limb-like, dangerous and amazingly present. In fact, this kind of regular analysis makes the film a bit boring. What struck me was that she stood in front of a model of Berlin to tell the process of how the city was planned. She asked "the origin of Berlin, in the lower reaches of the river. , who can point out where we are now?" At that moment, past and present overlap, love and city overlap, time and space overlap. Architectural form will follow function, she said, with what was once a palace turned into an exhibition hall in the 21st century, and myth today as the last subjective lens watching a lover sway underwater. Omg, I was reminded of what Lila said about Aeneas: "Without love, not only would people's lives be boring, but the whole city would be boring." I love this one
