This is perhaps the most unexpected and original movie of all, I have hitherto seen. As the Russian critic Anton Dolin aptly put it, this picture is shocking, causes the viewer the effect of a concussion with cinema, which, once experienced, one wants to experience again. I am ready to subscribe to these words.
In general, reviews about this film are very contradictory, everyone sees something of their own, many people think that they have solved the idea of the author, but for some reason everyone seems different. I would not even advise you to believe the official description, because, in my opinion, it is only partially true.
From my feelings.
It is difficult to say what the film is about, there are too many thoughts and guesses in the head after watching, too contradictory feelings overwhelm the soul. At first glance, the whole action looks like a completely insane theater of the absurd, but on closer examination there is still some meaning, and everyone has his own.
However, the picture is really worthy of attention. It is filled with many images, trifles, allusions and metaphors that are interesting to notice and think about, making up, like a puzzle, a storyline and the author’s message. It has its own unique atmosphere. It is decorated with a magnificent play of talented actors. She is amazingly musical and beautiful in her own way. There are not many dialogues, but each of them deserves separate consideration.
It's the director's confession. A film dedicated to the beloved muse. The film is a revelation of a man with a wounded heart, in love with cinema, but not always recognized by the fastidious audience. The film is a personal drama, the cry of the restless soul of a talented person.
The refrain for the film sounds the composition of Gerard Manset “Revivre”, which carries a completely sacred meaning.
The overall impression is sad. But the film is amazing.
