Good movie overlooked, bland, natural

I like this video very much. The first is the method of shooting. Very boldly cut the whole picture into two equal parts. This technique is very common and is usually used to represent simultaneous events. But the film actually uses two cameras in two frames moving at the same time from beginning to end. It was uncomfortable at first, but once I got used to it, I liked it. Because this film revolves entirely around the dialogue and mutual testing between two former lovers. Each emotional context develops in an independent frame, which is very helpful for expressing the details of the interactions and personalities between the characters. Moreover, the two frames are not always one per person, but constantly changing. Sometimes a person is photographed from different angles, sometimes the facial expressions of two people are photographed from the same angle, and sometimes one side is reality and the other is memory , sometimes one side is reality and the other side is fantasy. Simply amazing.
Another reason I like this movie is the amazing performance of the actors. The scene of the film is very simple, the main content is the dialogue between two people. So success depends entirely on the lines and the performance of the actors. I have seen a lot of Helena Bonham Carter's films, all of which are supporting roles, but I am still very impressed. It's still a pleasure to see her as the protagonist this time. Her own appearance and appearance are not that kind of beauty line, but it is very suitable for this role - a middle-aged woman in her late 40s, a little beautiful but not outstanding. Araon Echhart's performance is also good. The cooperation between the two people is perfect, and it feels a little bit like cooking.
Another important reason is the plot and lines. In fact, the main line of the plot is very vulgar, old lovers meet accidentally or deliberately. Probing each other, recalling memories, compounding ideas, their own lives and family pressures, in the final analysis, are the reflections of modern urbanites on feelings, the desire for sincere feelings, the frustration of failed feelings, and the inadequacy of new feelings. sense of security. Tired of the status quo and memories of the past brought them closer, but anxiety and hesitation kept pushing them away like ghosts. This contradiction is not so severe but lingering.
Several small climaxes in the play are also very good, the story in the elevator is almost to die for laughing, and the mutual understanding on the rooftop is emotional, the dress thrown out of the window is frustrating, and the final taxi scene makes people laugh. People are completely helpless. Although the picture finally merged into a complete shot, the distance between the two has become a gap that cannot be crossed.
Also note that, very rarely, neither of the two main characters in this film has a name. Their respective families have names, but the two never called each other's names, but started and ended with a peaceful conversation.
Absolutely worth watching. "My heart was broken." "So you married a cardiologist."
