Minimalist
minimal dialogue minimal minimal minimal music emotes as a description of the psychology of criminals do not know which movie directors have the courage to dare such a film director

lines
in addition to the main character repeat most of the dialogue own diary and confession are pitiful

music
time have been less occasional sudden but does not feel awkward

expressions and movements
almost no expression but not stiff little action scene most of the movements are slow calm character portrayed neither rigid neither publicity nor contrived nor natural

picture
no close-up actor does not give any chance to expose his face lens position is always placed in the position of the human eye to observe normal

rhythm
uniform super uniform no part of breath and even theft The caught rhythm will not get faster.

In short, this is a film that has been ironed out. The director deliberately simplified all film elements and even deliberately maintained a constant rhythm. The whole film is full of unspeakable awkwardness and anxiety. But this kind of uneasiness is not a horror, this kind of awkwardness is not totally unreasonable, so that the audience expects in a kind of anxiety, but the expectation will never come. There is no position, no right or wrong lines. The background that I want to understand. The progress I want to know will never appear. Finally This kind of uneasiness affects the audience itself. Because the film deliberately leaves too much space for the audience to think, and under the guidance of this emotion, the audience slowly participates in it (of course you can also choose to sleep), and slowly and The protagonist came together and finally the soul of the protagonist was redeemed by love.

"Jenny, I have waited so long and finally waited for you." The audience is satisfied in this last variation.

If you are accustomed to watching movies, the plot is full of characters. The music is agitated, then you must be disappointed.

This film is like boiled water 100 times. If you want to drink it, you have to add it yourself.

    It was carved out of a mold like the figures in "Notes on the Basement", humble and extremely arrogant, indifferent but very delicate. The interesting thing about this movie is that he is the only and unique narrator, and the camera acts as a commentator. After the first burglary, he was so complacent that he was immediately arrested; learned that his mother was seriously ill and cut to the bar to practice stealing... All these were the scenes cutting the young man delicately and calmly. #Archive

    It took ten years since I wanted to see it, and I wanted to say goodbye to procrastination. Showing hands like this is sexy in itself, but reaching into someone else's pocket is a bit of a taboo/rule-breaking shock, nervousness, and repelling. This is the bottom pair of forces. On the contrary, the story, fate, and love are only superficial. Or it's hard to say that what you see and think in your mind is not in the same order. Is such a story "Crime and Punishment" (ah, another one who has procrastinated for more than 15 years and wants to see it) If it is put into a Japanese movie, it would be reasonable to have a kind of hentai, a humble kind that can bloom in the mud . But in French films, he is not only so skilled and divine (hand performance, vision display), but also has a set of rationalized values ​​of his own - upside down this world that was originally black and white, and mothers, friends, Lovers love him unconditionally and trust him, including the sheriff who also chatted with him over and over again, trying to understand his thoughts and try to persuade him. It will make people feel that it is the cauldron of society, and there is no position designed to allow such people with extraordinary skills to exert their strengths, and it feels that people are dignified there.
