    Disappointing, Carax was the worst of his career. Only the opening sound prompts and the self-packing of the closing scenes are successful, which belong to the watching and listening of the first vocal recordings, the circus, the puppet show, the village stage and the historic tomb of Edgar Allan Poe, but the film does not The mysterious performance that has not turned into the expected shuttle between the old world and the new world. Simple fables have become the white canvas of the most...

    Pure cinematic experience. The beginning of a long shot from reality directly into the film, wonderful! The story is weak, but that's not the problem, I've always preferred a movie with a weaker story but more room for the director to play, but how about this one, the story-form framework is hollow, what to put in or Say something to express (emotion? It seems to be stuck somewhere that doesn't make it into or conveys from the movie. Still, you can't deny when you're struck by those pure...

    America's collective trauma

    Ben walked into the screening hall with the mentality of watching a somewhat dark love musical. I didn't expect that what left the deepest impression on me in the whole film was such a plot that seemed to be less related to the theme.

    Karax proves that the balance between art form and narrative can also be a compromise and a failure!

    The romantic form, the unique expression, the creation of the genius, the inexplicable madness, how to understand such a very carrax but also very popular work? I think it is still an art form > character relationship. The best part of his works is always his creative film language, but when he...
