It is said that the French are romantic, the French are not romantic, it should be like people drinking cold and warm self-knowledge, but there will always be some French movies, you can let people watch the French must be very romantic, otherwise how can you see love so thoroughly, you can also weave such a romantic love story, "Very Apartment" is such a French movie.
Very Apartment is a 1996 drama film starring Vincent Cassel, Romana Paulingé and the Italian national treasure goddess Monica Bellucci.
"Very Apartment" is based on the process and encounter of a man who is about to marry Max (Vincent Cassel) to find an ex-girlfriend, and as he searches, the audience learns the past encounters of the male protagonist like a puzzle, these clues are like a kaleidoscope, although the elements remain unchanged, but with each turn, it can always show a new look.
Max, who was on a business trip to Japan, first met lucien, a friend he hadn't contacted for two years, on a street corner, and then heard what appeared to be his ex-girlfriend Lisa (Monica Bellucci) at the phone booth in the restaurant, and wanted to catch up to find out, but he gave up because his fiancée and customers were on the side, but he found the hotel key left by the woman at the phone booth.
The key opened his memories, he remembered how he had chased Lisa with Lucien's help two years ago, how he had inexplicably broken up, and although two years had passed, despite his imminent marriage, he was still obsessed with Lisa and why he had suddenly abandoned him, so he abandoned him and went to Japan to inquire about Lisa's whereabouts.
The so-called extraordinary apartment refers to the apartment where Lisa lived, and two years later Lisa seems to have moved back to this apartment, and after several twists and turns Max returned to this apartment, Lisa finally appeared, but it was not the Lisa he knew to be looking for, the name, voice, appearance were similar, and she lived in the same apartment, and the woman who rubbed the same perfume and wore the same shoes unveiled a relationship for him that he never knew.
In addition to the twists and turns of the story, the structure is rigorous, and the mirror is beautiful, the interpretation of love in "Very Apartment" is quite unique, especially the description of unrequited love and the unscrupulous description of the pursuit of love, which is even more incredible, allowing people to see the diversity and variability of love.
Interesting and rare is that "Very Apartment" for these loves, not only does not have too many moral and ideological value judgments, but has values beyond the general rewards and punishments of good and evil, and the whole story is always an exclamation point from beginning to end.
The half-hearted male protagonist circled around and finally returned to the arms of his fiancée, the heroine who loved a person by any means quietly left after finally getting the love of the man she loved, the man who foolishly paid for love was inexplicably used to hurt, and the woman who was deceived by her friends ended up with a miserable end.
The love story presented in "Very Apartment" is strange, but it is also the best example for people to think deeply about the nature and cost of love, love can hurt itself and hurt others so fanatically, but such a fanatical love can be so imperceptible?
