"Venus in Furs"

- He prefers furs to naked Venus

The whole film consists of only one scene and two actors, but it plays the power game of men and women, giving and receiving, attacking and defending, advancing and retreating to the fullest. They have almost no physical contact, but their actions have ignited their lust, the kind of provocation in lust, which makes people's desires always riot

As a director, the male protagonist has a beautiful, elegant and famous fiancée, and their life trajectory is "beautiful" that can be seen at a glance. But now he has met a mysterious woman who makes him want to stop and sink deeper and deeper. Both are very good, and both have desires. Which one would you choose?

What I love about this story is:

In this interaction, we see the fluidity of gender, which is the product of the so-called human civilization. Now we can go a step further, break the original two-dimensional world, and let the possibility of things flow;

In this kind of interaction, people start to try more possibilities. Change is terrible, and even more terrible is that no change can be seen. Confined in a single perspective, the color of life will become monotonous, and being bound by labels will make people feel Not being able to emit light, even in those seemingly taboo places, making some attempts not to hurt others can allow more light to penetrate and illuminate the gradually boring world;

In such an interaction, whoever has stronger desire will "lose", just like in the sentence, whoever loves each other more will lose. But I don't think he lost. Who said a happy ending is perfect? ​​How many people can have such strong emotions? He's addicted, he's lucky, only he can experience an orgasm that no one else will ever experience

On the other hand, it can also be said that the male protagonist did not love Venus, but fell in love with the fur that projected his own feelings. People became the carrier. In the end, he still loves himself more, and there is nothing wrong with it.

    The style is still very Polanski and "Killing", and the script is awesome. interesting.

  • Angel 2022-04-24 07:01:20

    Polanski seems to have returned to the high-yield and high-quality stage of the 1970s, with the same dramatic treatment as Carnage, and the same erotic nakedness as the bitter moon. In order to ensure the effect, the old man even moved his wife out, and there were many sparks in the double play. Roman is always able to capture the ugliness in human nature mercilessly, and the obscurity of the human heart is also nakedly displayed. Sex is a perfect proof of the view of power.
