Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
Saber那边的基地只剩绿幕了，好惨ww
作为一体两面的暗面，薛景求表现精彩。
“C’est l’histoire d’une jeune femme qui s'agite. Et c’est aussi l’histoire d’un grand désir.” 这段介绍很贴切。前半部分我是很不喜欢anais的，感觉这个女孩子很虚浮，包括中后部和emilie的初相识，都有一种极为自我关注的青年特征（哪里像是30岁）。最后一段相爱之后就落地了很多。
我的2021法国院线年度最佳！大胆而羞涩，天真又浪漫，推土机式的女孩儿，我怎么那么喜欢Anaïs！想把最后那段分手台词背下来。
我仿佛看到法国版卡罗尔…两位女主都好美啊55
虽然搞zz的没一个好东西，但看到那么多ccp玩剩下的那套还是差点看的生理性反胃。首尾两个版本偷鸡蛋的故事很棒，薛景求真的绝了，真就韩国版的贝尔，每部电影都完全看不出是他演的…三星半。
ED的平成骑士怎么其他都是强化只有几个是基础形态
阳光，海，充满生气的阿娜伊斯，好美的一部电影
往后看还挺逗的，五颜六色的铠甲，七嘴八舌的大小号，五光十色的特效
道义和手段，割裂还是统一，政治阴谋很精彩，演技加分，头脑聪明的人看起来好有魅力。
故事线比较肤浅，节奏，剪辑，叙事一般化，人物塑造过于片面而单薄，整体《故事会》水平！
一部真的在好好讲故事，聚焦在人类珍贵的感情上的剧场版，片尾曲真好听。
法国人谈论文学和爱情怎么像喝水一样自然啊，我好羡慕🫠
最后几分钟的谈话本片高光。法国女演员永远让我倾倒。
影子和光对于目的和手段的讨论问题值得玩味。影子只是单纯的喜欢玩弄权谋的过程，缺乏坚定的政治立场，容易越过边界是否过大看重影子的操盘能力，或许夹杂着导演一些理想主义的幻想，如果金早十七年当选总统，韩国民主化进程是否会加快呢。我国民主化似乎遥遥无期啊
二刷，Anais的对爱的渴望与热情再次震撼到我，第1个疑惑有了解答：一位博主说法国人找伴侣就和找饭搭子一样哈哈哈
铺垫略长但Emilie出场会整个眼前一亮。法国人的浪漫真的是浑然天成。听着音乐在草地喝着酒共舞、沙滩的爱欲，真的太美了⋯ 一场野性与理智碰撞出的爱情，她们俩的信真好，也很能看出俩人性格与生活追求的不同。
万人迷男女通吃啊，最后忽然那么深刻讲道理还不习惯了
这类题材尤为演员试金石。双男主选角精准，演技之外，脸相气韵均符深陷纸牌屋该有的人性刻度。 后半部以及结尾，没想到是那样。让人看罢无限怅惘、不时反刍、无比感喟、深存心田的一部，爱这两个角色，还爱两个好演员。
画面很漂亮
