There is a saying that goes like this:
Your temperament is hidden in the books you read and the people you love.
This sentence makes sense no matter what field or industry it is placed in.
Just as the temperament of every writer is hidden in his books;
The temperament of each singer is hidden in his singing;
The temperament of each director is hidden in each of his works.
The two directors I want to talk about next are representatives of a very romantic temperament-
Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon , husband and wife, from France .
Such a husband and wife partner has to be reminiscent of the filming of "The Aldermans "
Nicola Bardos and Doria Tillier , also a pair of film beauties from France ,
France is indeed a world-renowned romantic country. All images and all beautiful things are related to romance and love .
And the romance of Dominic Abel and Fiona Gordon is hidden in these four high-scoring works they collaborated on-
What I want to share today is one of the masterpieces, "The Wandering Paris" released in 2016.
Well, that's right,
The protagonists are both of them.
wandering paris
Director: Dominic Abel, Fiona Gordon
Screenwriter: Dominic Abel, Fiona Gordon
Genre: Comedy / Romance
Starring: Dominic Abel, Fiona Gordon
Length: 83 minutes
The movie unfolds through 3 parallel perspectives.
On one side is Fiona Fiona , an honest and kind girl,
Because I received a letter for help that my aunt in Paris accidentally threw into the trash, I traveled thousands of miles from Canada to Paris.
But unfortunately, my aunt was not found, but her luggage was lost because she accidentally fell into the water while taking pictures.
On the other side of the camera is Dom , a homeless man on the streets of Paris,
You can pick up the cigarette butts on the ground and use it to smoke, or you can look for food in the garbage cans by the roadside, or you can foolishly chase a man all the way for a roasted red pepper.
Another is Martha Martha , Fiona's aunt, a grandmother who exercises from 97 to 100 dumbbells every day. She ran away from home because she didn't want to go to a nursing home.
It is such a story of three people who, under the catalysis of the city of Paris , produced a series of wonderful chemical reactions because of their encounter .
The Paris in the movie is like a stage play. There is no violent conflict in today's society, there is no public security, and there is no police breaking and shooting law enforcement.
Emmanuelle Riva, who played Martha , was in her 90s when the film was made
This film is equivalent to her legacy.
Aunt Martha is reluctant to go to a nursing home, so she chooses to leave home and choose to go on a one-person escape adventure;
She staggered tremblingly, preferring to eat the biscuits picked up in the trash can than to go back to her room.
"I've always wanted to climb the Eiffel Tower, and for some reason, I've never climbed it."
She has unfinished dreams, she is going to climb the Eiffel Tower. She has her romantic evening love.
Fiona, this "old girl" from Canada, with a red bag and a green sweater, outdated glasses and buck teeth, looks out of place in the fashionable city of Paris.
She always stumbles in her tongue-tied French, she's always inadvertently encountering a lot of bad luck, and she likes the handsome Canadian guy she met when she first arrived in France.
Whether in China, the United States or South Korea, the common routine for an ugly duckling heroine like her is that after meeting such a handsome guy, she has undergone earth-shaking changes and become a white swan.
Then two people can be together happily and lovingly, without being tied down.
But don't forget, this is a French movie with a few more U-turns in the brain circuit.
The ugly duckling here did not meet Prince Charming, but the dirty and smelly tramp...
In addition to romantic characters, the movie presents more of a "French romance".
The homeless Dom picked up Fiona's luggage that fell into the water, but accidentally met Fiona in the restaurant, and invited Fiona to dance with him;
Even if she ran away from home and slept on the street, Martha did not forget to visit her old lover;
There is also the grandmother who climbed the Eiffel Tower at night. The last three met at the top of the tower and watched the sunrise together...
Of course, as a comedy, "French humor" is also one of the essential elements.
Fiona, who came to Paris for the first time, wanted to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower and fell off the bridge in a blink of an eye, so realistic, but still so funny.
In order to prevent the elevator door from being closed, Fiona was directly pinched in the nose by the elevator, which is unheard of...
Unexpectedly, in addition to romance and humor, this film is also mixed with some rare warmth .
The scene of the grandmother Martha and Dom dancing by the Seine at night, can't help but touch people's hearts;
And the scene where Dom bids her farewell with Fiona and the two neighbors of the grandmother,
During the 60 seconds of silence, it rained suddenly, and Masha's degradable urn was about to be melted by the rain.
As soon as sixty seconds passed, Martha's urn was thrown into the Seine.
A life is not like these 60 seconds, it is fleeting, from birth to death, the world will not change because of our arrival.
However, the sunlight that appears in the next second tells us that a new life will also begin.
