All encounters and partings are doomed

The first 90% of the whole film makes people think hard about how the two stories are related. Through different people, different eras.
The first time I watched a movie, all my emotions were concentrated on the mother's love for her son, that share, no matter what you are, I love you as always, as long as you are by my side, no matter how bleak days are, I will live brilliantly. It seems to be understandable that when that love became heavy and unbearable, the choice she made - to live together forever and never face separation.
When I saw my former lover finally let go and embrace each other, I seem to want to say that there is a reason for those gatherings and separations. Maybe you don't want to accept it, but when you know the whole thing, we will always give up our once stubborn pursuit.
It was not until the second time I watched this movie, with a different perspective, I found that the last shot, on a photo of my youth, kept zooming in and out, and the blurry picture was never clear. . what can you see? The real story is all in this photo.
You are willing to accept the arrangement of the storyline, I believe this is a continuation of the fate of the previous life. Or are you willing to re-accept that this is just an illusion?
In this story, the director is responsible for telling two things, and you are responsible for connecting them together. So, it's a story that the director and you have done together.

    Unexpectedly full of experimentation: editing and repetitions that are so broken that they can't be broken, carefully designed various paintings with sound source music sound effects, small details flashing in a second, and a weird ghost-like atmosphere. At the beginning, it was so broken that it made people impatient, and at the end it was very exciting when the past and present were synchronized, but unfortunately the happy ending lacked persuasiveness. Just stop at the scene where the three people cried together. Overall it's a stunning work. PS: Quebec French is really hard to understand

    It's too easy to fall into the film, and after watching it for an hour, I'm still in a trance

Café de Flore quotes

  • Antoine Godin: If it's a soulmate, it's not supposed to end, right? It doesn't happen twice in a lifetime.

  • La médium: The meeting of twin flames is when the soul finds its other half on the path homeward, to the source.The cycle of reincarnation ends. It's the final relationship that leads to unity.
