mirror effect

Although I am very poor in science, I somehow remembered the term 'mirror effect' of middle school physics when I watched a movie.
Puorquoi?
Probably because of the countless mirror reflections in the movie.
Mirrors in the square reflect Juliette Binoche's every move (walking towards the sculpture and waving back), and a later window reflection sees William Shimell's frown (a vague expression on his face) looking out of the hotel window.

Are they all real, or are they all fake?
In the end is a pair of old lovers, or a pair of new partners?
Who is playing who?

I still don't understand at the end, but listening to the natural and conflicting exchanges between the two people, chatting about art and love, family affection and life, is already very comfortable.

    Marvel movie. I didn’t pay attention to anything for three consecutive days. I watched it three times, just to truly examine the layers in Abbas’ films: the first time I tried to figure out the ambiguous suspense between the plot and the concept (!), the second time I listened to the voice (language). vs situation, language vs atmosphere, situation vs picture, situation vs atmosphere), enjoy pure viewing pleasure for the third time: do not follow the plot, only observe the expressions of the characters, the composition of the composition, the establishment and flow of the scene, that is, the record of the film and aesthetics. A new face emerges with each film, and Abbas has approached Bach's myth infinitely: in a seemingly fluid whole, hidden innumerable details that echo each other, but are ambiguous, and even more hopeless, these details Not only does it exude an installation-like interest, but it is also rooted in the charm of the images themselves, that is, they represent both wisdom and land. And the details are not independent and obvious, but are organically arranged and superimposed, and we feel the full and profound overall crisis. To borrow Dane's words, Abbas' films do not have "stitching points", because there are stitching points everywhere, and his stitching point is now, in himself.

    The marital problem is just one example where real emotions are called out in the chatter of the fake couple. Therefore, the existence of replicas or copies is not meaningless, and the film is a legal copy of real life. The director has completed a process of using the film to demonstrate the film.
