after watching

The whole film gave me the feeling not of horror, but of humanity.
The heroine no longer likes her husband because she is afraid that her husband will work outside for a long time, so she makes a deal with the devil, exchanging her life and herself for a humanoid devil who will not betray and looks exactly like her husband; the hero loves his wife deeply, so for his wife Angered by an affair, he will go to great lengths to find traces of his wife, destroy evidence of his wife’s murder for his wife, and sacrifice himself in exchange for his wife’s escape; a young teacher will open the door for love regardless of the child’s obstruction, just because she is standing outside Henry's lover; Henry ran to the address given by the hero, for the sake of reconciliation and the joy of mind and body; Henry's mother chose to commit suicide after learning that her son was dead, out of love for her son .
I think my wife had a crazy side of her character before she came into contact with the devil. Before she quit her job as a ballet teacher, she madly forced a child to do what she wanted, and then she came into contact with the devil, and the whole person became crazy and unreasonable. , countless times of self-mutilation and madness. I think there is a crazy side to the character that is chosen by the devil, not because he is chosen by the devil to become crazy. After all, anyone who sees a creature covered in slime that looks like a puddle of flesh will be horrified.
Because I didn't feel the scary place inside, I read several in-depth movie reviews, but I still didn't get the scary point. Still feel sad. The whole film gives me the feeling that it is from love that leads to sorrow, from love to terror, and countless complex emotions born in the name of love form a movie, ending with the suicide of the wife and the advent of the devil, and finally the husband and wife die together It's like dying for love. In a few years, maybe when I look at it again, I will understand it a little more deeply, right?

    At the Berlin Wall, the wife of a West German agent fell in love with a ballet teacher. Uncontrollable odds replaced belief. The entanglement of the mind made the body alienate the ancient evil spirits. The West German agent lost himself in jealousy and hatred, and his step-by-step crime finally brought the third world war to the confusion of all beings. Cold War metaphors, mutant erotica, crazy explosions, another masterpiece by Polish director Zulaski

    If the film was called Sophie Marceau back then, it is estimated that he would not be his wife in the future. Adjani is bitter enough in this movie. The film is not bad, the Chinese characters are a bit sloppy, and there are a few key words that have not been translated, such as the key pink socks. This film may have been made by Zulawski at the most desperate and tangled time of his film career and marriage. Compared with the later tangled films, this film feels more "real".
