The movie "Time to Leave" (Le temps qui reste) (2005) Chinese name is "last time", which is the last time of the actor's life. When he found out he had terminal cancer, who would he be the first to tell? The actor Romain He chose to run all the way to the old grandmother, she asked him: "Why did you only tell me" "Because I'm just like you, time is short," he said. As he set off to meet his grandmother, Romain passed the fast food restaurant on the road, Met Jany (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), the clerk, when he told her to visit his grandmother, she asked: "Is she ill?" Yes, the old one is sick only when the young grandson visits, but no one thinks of this It's the young ones who are sick to visit the old ones. The
movie depicts Romain's last days, how to deal with his family, his discordant sister, his boyfriend (he is gay), his colleagues, etc. As a It's a movie of the same theme, but it's not lost, but as a Francois Ozon movie, it's a bit disappointing. The technique is bland and nothing special, the music is very good, but the story is not deep enough, and I didn't have the expected emotion or heartache after watching it, compared to It's not as good as Ozon's previous work. The actor Melvil Poupaud's acting is quite satisfactory, with a bit of sadness, but it is not very exciting. Of course, the French actress Valeria Bruni Tedeschi also grabbed a lot of scenes. I have seen her perform many times ("Munich" Munich,"Tickets" train three-way, "5X2", "Ten Minutes Older"), still great acting.
There are several scenes in the movie that are more impressive, including of course a threesome, which is the sex scene between the male protagonist and Jany and her husband, all because Romain promises Jany to "seed" her and her infertile husband. There are also many encounters with the male protagonist. To my childhood self, in church, on the beach, it feels subtle and knowingly smiling.
All in all, I personally think Francois Ozon can do better, and this bland approach doesn't suit him.
