unromantic french movies

French films are good for one truth, such as "Unreachable", "Love", "Our Heartless World". Second, naughty, such as "Jet Lag", "Fighting Enemies", "First Kiss". Three passionate, such as "Angel Emily" " Adela's Extraordinary Adventure" and "Scientific Sleep".
French films are usually referred to as romance. In fact, French films are first of all to restore life, with a romantic mood with seriousness as the background, which is very different from the romance that American films can boast. The same, one is the state of mind, the other is the object. Rhythm is the most controversial point of French films, which will make audiences who are accustomed to watching Hollywood plots bewildered. Modern media has reduced people's appreciation patience to a minimum. I can't wait for the male and female protagonists to chat for 20 minutes, and nothing happens. I can't wait for the mediocre little people to win the lottery by the end of the film, or to rob a bank. The audience can't stand the dullness, can't stand it, and like to see it The protagonist breaks out and likes to see extreme encounters. Therefore, domestic films can be pieced together and travel through, and they can take audiences to live in hardcover model rooms, negotiate with business giants, and then go abroad for luxury travel, leading most of the audience to complete sexual obsession.
However, French films Because it is closer to the essence of life, because it is aimed at the undercurrents under the calm appearance, such as "The Past" of the film festival, because there is no whitewashing of life, such as "Susannah" of the film festival. There is no grandstanding visual background, no black and white The character setting requires the audience to mobilize their own experiences and values, face human nature and open the wound, remain helpless in the dialogue without humor, continue to be helpless in the plot without surprises, cannot avoid it, cannot be entertained, but instead It's not easy to be accepted. Just like last night, a person in the back row asked: "This is the end? Why is there no

magnificent plot?" ———————————

    The rhythm is slow, the time is long, the sense of substitution is poor, and it has never been in the play. The script, the scene scheduling, the little details are all very good

    According to allocine, Marion Cotillard was originally set for the heroine of this film. Later, she was called Bérénice Bejo when she couldn’t schedule it (I love Marion Cotillard’s good cut?) But the just-concluded 66th Cannes Film Festival Bérénice Bejo was because The film Le Passé won the Best Actress Award... (You can see the picture of the movie is an easy one. The viewing process of this film is too trivial and depressing. I don't love it very much.
