    As a fan of Duras' original novel, the movie is not easy to watch, for fear of ruining it. Liang Jiahui's temperament basically conforms to the prototype of the novel, which is cowardly, incompetent, violent and simple. I don't like the image of a girl, because it lacks a strong and resistant character. The second half of the film is noticeably better than the first half. What touched me the most in the novel was the picture of a Chinese man bathing a Caucasian woman. I didn't expect the film...

    It's so disgusting to see the heroine's face full of little bitches and the erotic scenes that don't feel touching. It should have been a sad love story, where is there love? Is it revealed in the empty eyes? Is it spoken in blunt language or Is it revealed in the gentle caress? It's really ugly. When I saw the heroine's brother beating her, I felt inexplicably cool. Anyway, I felt that this love story was ruined, but I didn't feel any mood at the...

    First heard the theme song, then read the novel, then watched the movie about ten years ago. Young people's vague thirst for flesh and love is fermented in the copper stench of a tropical colony. I still remember Liang Shuji's...

    Walking through a city, falling in love with someone you shouldn't fall in love with, pretending to say goodbye peacefully. Whether it is Saigon, the Indian Ocean or Paris, whether it is New Delhi, Edinburgh or Boston. After many years, the stars have changed and the old man has gone. The world is changeable and things are vicissitudes of life. But there is still a Chinese man who silently thinks about her for decades until the end of life. Lovers are not prostitutes and sluts. Lovers are just...

    First of all, to give Leung Ka Fai's body a compliment when he was young, it was bloody. Secondly, I like the words and deeds of the heroine in it, neither humble nor overbearing, gentle and elegant, which is worth learning from and imitating. In addition, it is said that Duras initially matched Agatha, but it was a pity that he did not match his age. I like the fast-edited close-ups in a few clips, the lighting is in place, and the emotions are in place. It is a movie that makes people watch...

    the director said

    The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Marguerite Dura, the most famous female writer in contemporary French literature. Dura, who was born in Indochina in 1914, wrote the autobiographical novel "The Lover" based on an early love affair, which has been translated into 43...

    Why did a 32-year-old Chinese man take off a 15-year-old girl's dress to become the highest-rated pornographic film on Douban?

    Grete Duras once said, "If I'm not a writer, I must be a prostitute."

    Duras is a French writer and a legendary woman who has moved through different emotions throughout her life.

    In her old age, she wanted to reveal her unknown love affairs when she was young. At the age of 70, she published the...

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
