The plot needs no elaboration. In fact, the director told a love story most of the time in the film.
It's just that the male and female protagonists of the love story, the way of falling in love, and the process of falling in love are very different, and it can also be said to be quite abnormal. When I say perverted, I mean to understand it from the perspective of ordinary people.
From the picture of the film, you can see that the film is different. Offices without natural light, interior decoration that ignores the background of the period, long and depressing corridors, and close-up shots of various equipment in the office are very uncomfortable to watch.
The performances of the male and female protagonists are also very perverted.
In particular, the heroine Maggie Gyllenhaal portrays a coquettish masochist to the fullest. Every look, every action, shows her "coquettish" flavor. I have long been optimistic about Maggie Gyllenhaal, so her acting skills are so good. Although it doesn't look pretty, it doesn't have a taste.
The actor's acting is also very good. A sensitive, anxious and lonely white-collar man is fully displayed in front of the audience.
The music of the film is also very ambiguous. It goes well with the offbeat and perverted style of the film.
The director wants to use this film to express the real living state of sadism and masochism. Let people know more about them. They also depicted their love so delicately and with a little bit of romance. The editor is still very attentive.
It's just such a movie with an unusual style and content, will ordinary people accept it? I find it difficult.
