French female director Julie Portucelli's "The Tree Wants Peace of Mind" (also translated as "Tree" 2011), the poster is very warm, the French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the mother Dane and love The scene of female Simon chatting together. The picture of the film is quiet and beautiful, with a natural atmosphere, a touch of sadness, and a secret mind, which has a natural fit with the plot of the film.
French people are full of self-confidence, not to mention the film industry. Generally, they only pay attention to themselves or French things. Therefore, not many French directors go to Australia to make films. Of course, this cannot simply be said to open eyes, but to expand the space of the film.
In fact, the film tells the story of a woman raising four children alone after losing her husband in Australia. But the director's focus is mainly on the young mother and the 8-year-old daughter Simon, and the other three children have just taken advantage of it.
Simon had a deep relationship with his father Peter. She was in his father's car when his father suddenly suffered a heart attack. The moment before his father passed away, he did not forget to step on the brakes to save his daughter's life. Since his father's death, the huge banyan tree beside the house has become the only place where Simon can confide his heart.
Soon, she discovered that, under the shroud of lush banyan branches, she found that her father was talking to her silently. Later, she also climbed the banyan tree with her mother and listened to their secrets. She felt a strange comfort in her heart.
Back to reality, a single mother also has to go out to work. In her relationship with her boyfriend George, she finds the possibility of true love, but Simon only has his deceased father in his heart, and is strongly opposed to his mother's new boyfriend. This kind of story seems familiar, but it's still worth watching. The little girl is smart and cute, and sincere and touching.
