Chabrol's film, the script is very rigorous, the narrative is concise, the rhythm is tight and gradual, the tension is full, and it tells a complete story delicately. Although the plot is not twists and turns, but every scene is connected in a seamless way.

From the perspective of the...

In my opinion, Sophie's dyslexia caused her to be rejected by the entire symbol system. The ability to use language is cut in half by a symbol like the TV in the film, one side is "popular" listening and speaking, and the other is "higher" reading and writing (you can see the attitude of the old...

The whole plot is relatively dull, and there is no particularly big ups and downs. Even the final shooting and killing seemed so calm and casual, there was no violent mood swings such as resentment, fear, hysteria, etc. Instead, the woman in the post office simply said "It's a big trouble", and...

I didn't want to give it five stars. Because the subtitles are really not well done, I really don't understand the "voice over words" off-camera. But when I think of the performances of the two heroines, I can't help but give five stars. I really liked the scene where Sophie was learning to read....

Chabrol in this period is indeed very sophisticated and skilled in style. Nearly three-quarters of the previous pages have been laid out calmly, trivially and implicitly, presenting a lot of details, but without deliberately magnifying and emphasizing details, he handed over the initiative to The...

The whole film is shrouded in the suspense and thriller of the soundtrack from the very beginning. I can see a class antagonism after watching it myself, and then the uncontrollable disgust for Jeanne in the post office played by Aunt Pell, and then I went to the podcast to listen to Mr. Dai...

In the summer of 2019, director Bong Joon-ho stood on the podium at the Cannes Film Festival, thanking French director Chabrol's "Grim Ritual", frankly saying that this masterpiece inspired "Parasite". 1995's "Grim Ritual", about a murder that took place in a French country house. Maid Sophie and...

Very tragic movie, very similar to this year's big parasite theme. Jeanne, a low-level victim, without a good education and no upbringing, she credits the whole world for all the damage she has suffered, she stands up against everyone, she is an outlier. Sophie is also an outlier. She is...

The world is constantly changing, and different eyes see differently. Therefore, it will not appear consistently well-behaved and beautiful. "Discrimination" also presents the "beautiful" and "dirty" in the world in various forms. In short, to make this type of people feel like a duck to water, you...

Grim: "It is not the annihilation of human nature, but the stripping of morality" - Wan Anxie

Jane probably grew up in a loveless family. She didn't feel the connection between her life for her daughter, let alone a middle-class family who was deeply jealous of her, so she didn't change her color...
