From "Sea of ​​Desires" to "Indulge in the City"

Finnish director Aku Luhimis followed "Indulge in the Sea of ​​Desire" and made "Indulge in the City" (also translated "Naked Port") in 2012. The entangled love story of more than a dozen men and women in seven families, after longing to be loved and embraced, it is always the end of the wind and snow after the cold wind.

In the fictional Helsinki, there is no essential difference between a dual-full family and a single-parent family. The dignity of adults is damaged outside, and they will find their children to vent their anger at home, and children who are angry will be bullied by naughty classmates at school. As the basic unit of the social circulatory system, the family is undoubtedly subjected to severe tests. The dry heart is thirsting for the rain, and what is often ushered in is the hard ice that cannot be broken.

Only a girl who wants to be famous is finally willing to live an ordinary life after being abused. The child who was bent on revenge also let go of his resentment. But the men and women who ran away were still at a loss after struggling in the emotional abyss.

It turned out that the arrogant appearance could not hide the fragile and inferior heart. As Robbie Williams sings at the end "everyone wants to feel true love, love that starts from home..."

Recalling the scene in the autumn of 2001 when I saw "The Sea of ​​Lust", the rumbling container trucks on Nigang Avenue, and the calls of female workers being robbed after get off work in the middle of the night, always wake up the sleeping people. And the open sex in the film is somewhat surprising. A dentist shuttles between several girls, and the love affair makes the indulgence have a reason to pour out, and more is the loneliness after the indulgence. It seems that the male dominates the relationship, but it is gone in a hurry. The relationship between men and women, as long as there is no respect, the rest is just a sexual game after emotional exhaustion.

Of course, this is someone else's life. The movie just provides a sample of the relationship between men and women. After facing a girl's sincere confession, a man falls into a deep psychological predicament. pass.

Compared with "Indulge in the City", the fate of the cross is irreversible. The "rude" images and simple lens language of "Indulgent City" make the characters more delicate and rich. There is no repentance and no redemption. This is just a lover's The "hand in hand" between them, wandering in the world of desire, but rooted in the heart, also has a long aftertaste. It makes people think about what is true love, what is true sex. There may never be a standard answer. This is an unbearable look back after the precipitation of the years, and together with the viewer's own memory, it becomes a piece of floating flowers that will always be hidden.
