It received a lot of praise and was selected for the main competition unit and nominated for the Palme d'Or.
Let's talk about it today.
"Two-Faced Lover"
The film is directed by French director François. Ou Rong's new works.
Ou Rong is a famous French master of erotic films, and his works are usually based on exploring desire and deviance.
This "Two-Faced Lover" not only has suspenseful thrillers, but also continues the large-scale style.
Before the film's premiere, Fu Mao, director of the Cannes Film Festival, said: "This film has a beginning that has never been seen in the history of cinema. ”
Sure enough, the film is really super large-scale at the beginning, and even a little uncomfortable.
The film opens with a female sexual organ from a 25-year-old woman named Chloe.
She often had a strong pain in her abdomen and went to the hospital for examination, but she never found anything wrong.
Eventually she had to go to a psychiatrist, so she met a psychologist, Paul.
Chloe told Paul everything about herself, and soon the two naturally developed feelings and walked together.
Chloe also found a job working at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
The turning point of the film takes place in —
Chloe finds one of Paul's old passports, but the last name is Drol.
Chloe finds that she knows very little about her boyfriend Paul, and Paul is reluctant to discuss her past, which makes her very distressed.
Later, inadvertently, Chloe discovers that Paul has a twin brother, Louis, who is also a psychiatrist.
But in contrast to Paul's gentleness, Louis's madness, his controlling desire, captivated Chloe.
She began to wander constantly between her brothers, unable to extricate herself from the pleasures of the flesh and the comfort of the soul.
So then Ou Ron used a lot of large scales to show their relationship.
The specific content is too restrictive, so I won't say more...
As the plot unfolds, Chloe also gradually discovers the twins' unknown dark past.
Twins grow up in a competitive relationship, and they are like sperm who have to fight to gain the right to live.
It must be fought to get more nutrition and dominance in the womb.
Louis was born 2.4 kilograms, but Paul was less than 2 kilograms.
Growing up, Louis also raped Paul's girlfriend Sandra.
Because of this dispute, Sandra raised a gun to commit suicide, attempted, and has since collapsed on the bed.
Paul and Louis, on the other hand, broke off their brotherly relationship and died without contact.
As the plot progresses, the truth of the matter becomes clearer, but Chloe's abdominal pain becomes more and more intense.
What is the reason, the film finally gives us a big reversal, the director breaks down and reorganizes a woman's fantasy and reality, telling us a dark story.
It turns out that Paul's twin brother, Louis, was a figment of Chloe's own imagination.
The cause of the hallucinations is related to Chloe's secret.
By the twins Paul and Louis, the film derives the medical phenomenon of "embryo absorption".
When one of the two competitors is in an absolutely dominant position, the strong will even swallow the embryo of the weaker.
He will be the only one, but carry the inheritance chromosomes of the two twins.
Some people are born with the incomplete carcass of their twin brother or sister.
In scientific terms, this carcass is called a parasitic fetus.
That is to say, the weak eat the strong, and the strong one will invisibly hurt the other.
This medical phenomenon is also closely related to Chloe's secret.
Want to know what it is? Of course, it's left for you to watch in the movies for yourself.
It is called "the largest film in Cannes last year", in fact, the highlight of this movie is not only the scale, its narrative and picture are still in place.
Of course, when the truth comes out, we may find that some details cannot stand up to scrutiny, which is the mistake of the film, and it is certainly not as good as the previous "Entering the House".
Still, it's worth a look.
After all, as a curious thriller erotic film, it is still very interesting.
