Plot
Every morning, I have to leave you
Every dusk, you have to chase me back
Love one day at a time
Alex, a man on the verge of marriage, meets Fanfan, a lively, open-minded and individualistic dancer, and falls hopelessly in love.
Having always lived in stopwaters, he has never tasted the thrill of love. Growing up in the shadow of his mother's constantly changing sex partners in his childhood, Alex stubbornly believed that love with sex would not last, and that everything would be over once he got into bed, so he made a decision that he would always pursue Fanfan, but never get involved in lust.
Alex used French romance to lead Fangfang to wander in the sea of love, but never involved in half a bit of lust, which called Fangfang exceptionally distressing, do not know why he always exhausts all the efforts and then give up halfway.
Fangfang was looking for a house to live on her own, and when Alex heard the news, he rented a house ahead of her and then sublet a room to her through some connections. He lived next door to Fangfang, and used a wall of one-way mirrors to spy on her life: to intense music, Fangfang began to take off her clothes, put on her practice clothes, and began to dance to the rhythm of the movement, and Alex danced along with her, and watched as she scrutinized her face and made expressions in front of her.
Through a pane of glass, he cohabited with her. Though she was right in front of him, she was so inaccessible that Alex was enclosed in a mirror of his own design.
Alex loved the woman he longed for in the safety of his own.
One day, however, this secret is finally discovered by Fanfan, who witnesses his deepest feelings for her, and at the end, Fanfan breaks the mirror, which can be seen as a way of helping Alex to get out of the castle of his mind. Alex finally kisses Fanfan, and his heart is cured.
Sophie Marceau
Sophie Marceau in the movie
Like every man has a Sophie Marceau in his heart, almost every man has a Fanfan in his heart.
The movie convinced most people that Sophie, is Fanfan, and Fanfan is Sophie. The bright smile makes us feel the warmth of the world's youthful charm, especially the pair of the world is familiar with the beautiful deep eyes look forward to the flow of waves, rippling with a kind of magical power that can melt everything. Her beauty is not only from the appearance, amazingly, she is the rational and emotional beauty of the integration of Sophie Marceau's cordiality and simplicity, and can even be said to flow out of a natural sense of purity, like water, like the air, like the first beam of sunshine in the morning, incomparable natural and beautiful.
In any of her movies, we have never seen her laugh to the flower branch trembling, but cry let us sigh, the original tears of women can also be as beautiful as this.
Sophie Marceau in "Fangfang". Marceau shorts and boots, chestnut-colored hair pulled into a fluffy braid, blunt, romantic, dare to love and hate, she wants the love is real fireworks, to quarrel, to kiss, to skin, Fangfang's heart is true and pure, resolutely do not want to be that at hand at the end of the world's glass wall, she only need to be together with the love, together.
"The lens of her pure and sexy, slightly melancholy and wild temperament indestructible. The most moving moo takes place on the beach, Sophie so naturally naked and perfect, Alex slathering her with sunscreen, hesitant fingers brushing over Sophie's skin, unparalleled seduction, a man's feeble struggle, a teenage girl's youthful radiance flowing through the camera as if it had melted into the sun and the sea."
This comment perhaps best describes Sophie's performance in the film, "At this point I was absolutely convinced that God, though unbiased, must have graded the materials he used to make man; some people used mud, while like Sophie, I think it must have been cream and white chocolate."
Behind the scenes
The golden girls and boys of the French film industry for the first time hand in hand to star in the love of literary fiction, according to the director of the novel of the same name written and directed by the director, reflecting the current mentality of young men and women in France to play the game of love, storytelling, but the development of the natural and fluent. Sophie Marceau has established herself as one of the leading actresses in the French movie industry with her moving performance in this movie, especially the part of dancing in front of the mirror, which is quite colorful. The whole movie is a light and lively love story.
Great dialogue
At your age, I'd fuck an ostrich!
The movie
This is a standard French film, such a sensational story may only be able to shoot out of the French is not fleshy, but also only Sophie Marceau, only so as the flower of the young Sophie Marceau performance to call people do not feel pretentious, everything is good and perfect, and these elements determine that this is a successful love movie.
This film was the most popular film at the Cannes Film Festival, and was also the best-selling film in France that year. The French romance, Sophie Marceau's beauty, and the classical melancholy of Shannon Gray are all guarantees that the movie will be an invincible success.
It is also worth mentioning that the film's opening credits, a man and a woman of two people's head silhouette, each holding the ends of the chewing gum, and constantly close and separate, the female initiative when the male retreat, to be the male initiative when the female is evasive, and always did not really touch the lips, and finally the male took out a pair of scissors, click click click click, broken. In this swallowing and spitting, the love of the doubtful illusion, doubtful truth, sufferings and losses are revealed. This is a gimmick, but also the outline of the general leader of the movie - love in the dodging, suffer from the loss.
