Personal Shopper, a French-inspired film (telling: the epic story of Maureen, an American girl in Paris who is involved in a murder case in Paris as a star personal fashion shopper), combines the seemingly thrilling In fact, there are story bridges with hidden philosophy, which make people think a lot after watching the movie. It is this film nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, which has attracted many different voices. There are positives and negatives, there are a lot of applause, and there are also a lot of applause, hehe, it is indeed a controversial work.
Although the comments of public opinion are mixed, I am quite optimistic about this work, whether it is the color tone, connotation interpretation, or actors' interpretation of the film, it is a superior work, there is no doubt about it. Next, listen to me detail the various points of view.
Aspect 1, super director
Olivier Assayas, French, jury at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival, once directed the famous work "After May" and won the Best Screenplay Award at the 69th Venice International Film Festival. Looking at his past works, you can leisurely experience the "French romance" and "utopianism" that the director exudes. This time, I wrote and directed "Private Buyer", once again blowing this literary and romantic wind to the hearts of every audience.
Aspect 2, "Twilight" heroine
Kristen Stewart, as the heroine of the "Twilight" series, is well known to everyone, and then again involved in the center of the focus because of the "coming out" incident. But in all fairness, the post-90s Xiao K is a bit higher than his peers in terms of acting skills, grasp of roles, and understanding of scripts. In order to jump out of the shadow of "Twilight", in recent years, she has taken on a lot of contrasting roles, including Maureen Cartwright who plays Maureen Cartwright in this film, all of which are all her efforts to avoid being routine and let all fans witness her growth.
Aspect 3, French romance meets American unruly
The style of French films often seems out of tune with the freedom of American characters, so usually, the protagonists of French films will involuntarily choose French actors to play. This time, Olivier did not take the usual path, and found little K from the "free country" America to play the protagonist, which really surprised the audience. As it turns out, this combination works well in this film. On the one hand, there is a huge commercial benefit (many big brand advertisements are placed entirely for Xiao K), and on the other hand, the French "romantic plot" and the "free style" of American actors are organically combined and complement each other.
Aspect 4, literature and art meet thriller
From the picture of the film to the rhythm of the narrative, from the images on the street to the costumes of the characters, the literary style is too strong, and the director uses every frame to describe the "flavor of literature and art". In contrast, what forms a strong contrast is the content of the work-horror, and the introduction of "supernatural phenomena" highlights the horror of the work. The seemingly "unrelated" collocation gives the audience a new experience. The thriller drama under this literary gimmick is really addicting.
Aspect 5, the conclusion of philosophical thinking
If the film is abandoned early due to the short-term disorder of the work or the momentary incomprehension, then I can say frankly: these "renunciationists" simply cannot understand what the director wants in the film. The important information conveyed - self-daze, hesitation, inner loneliness and depression. what for? Carefully comb through. Who are the three main characters in the story? Maureen, cell phone, ghost. What is the key to the narrative? Maureen's thoughts on his late brother. What is the proportion of the story? Almost a one-man show for Maureen. Through these settings in the film, plus the heroine's loneliness, it is not difficult to infer that the heroine is a "lonely person"; but where is the "repression"? "Dazed, hesitant" for what reason? All mentioned in the play. The difficulty of work, the confusion of the status quo, and even the "suppression" of his own denial; the reappearance of the ghost and the video chat record of the heroine imply that Maureen's obsession with the deceased brother, unable to get rid of the shadow of the brother, directly hit the heroine's own daze , hesitant. Throughout the whole film, the "ghost" in the play can also be considered as a materialization of Maureen's "negative emotions". The director made a trick to draw the audience into the game, not to increase the "suspense", but to emphasize the invisible theme.
Written at the end, this is a French utopian film that combines thriller, suspense, psychic, romance, and philosophical analysis. It is difficult to capture the essence of this film at a glance.
