A literary and artistic to the extreme European romantic film. The black and white picture fits the background of this story quite well, with its own elegant artistic sense. The music is very nice.
1. Although the heroine comes from the bottom and her artistic influence comes from the folk, she has an artistic talent beyond her own class and her own melancholy temperament of the petty bourgeoisie. I think this is the basis for them to always attract and understand each other. This setting also makes people feel that the characters of literary films are really floating in the air.
2. Artists in socialist countries always yearn for the free air of capitalist countries, and even lead them to leave their homes. And I'm curious, where does this enlightened self-consciousness come from? Poland, the Czech Republic, and even Iran, their intellectuals and artists are obsessed with fleeing because they have roots in Western literature and science?
3. After fleeing, there must be disappointment and return. It reminds me of "I grew up in Iran" and it also reminds me of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." Life in the capitalist world is always accompanied by loss, vanity fair, circles and communication. Those things change a person invisibly. The heroine obviously realizes this more clearly than the male hero. She bravely leaves her lover. This kind of decisiveness makes people shock. The two camps are in a cold war, and the relationship between the two also needs a cold war. Ordinary people may part ways, but they are not ordinary people after all, this cold war has become a kind of salvation for the relationship between the two.
4. But is there a dream land that can bring them back? She can only perform vulgar and explicit performances that make herself sick. He also went through prison for illegally entering and leaving the country, and stopped creating after being released from prison. In the end, the homeland is nothing but a false imagination.
5. They can only go into exile again. On the border, they held hands and sat under a tree, looking at the endless fields in front of them, saying a final farewell to their homeland. "Let's go there, the scenery is better over there." Will they have a better life, or a better relationship? Is the land of paradise only there forever?
