Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
He would stop hoping, and start living.
Un seul mot pour résumer: le désenchantement. 第一次碰到VFstF，真的是被字幕拯救了……看之前有很大期待，前半段还挺兴致勃勃，后半段就感觉看累了，总体冗长却又觉得尾声仓促。海报出处那段确实是挺喜欢的，导演拍Benjamin还真蛮好看的。
Stop hoping, start living.
我几乎没看过什么小说，名著改编的电影倒是很感兴趣。出自电影《玛格丽特》（Marguerite，2015）导演之手的这部同名电影，表现出多少原著的深度我不知道，但呈现巴尔扎克“法国 19 世纪伟大的批判现实主义作家”这头衔，肯定是满分的。通过这个落入红尘的文学天才的故事，我们可以一睹欧洲贵族光鲜背后的那个世界。
多少个这样的心灵，
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
硬核亨利，冷门佳片，很高兴没错过你。片尾曲加分。
扎实的名著电影，布景服化道一看就很贵很还原，巴尔扎克的小说毕竟戏剧性极高，看起来毫不无聊；是文学梦的幻灭，爱情的幻灭，也是妄图实现阶级跃层的幻灭，时至今日，类似的故事仍然不断上演，至少男主功成名就过，大多人被淹没在大城市的纸醉金迷里，水花都不曾溅起；内森居然是多兰演的！看演员表才发现，卷发单薄帅哥都免不了发腮嘛难道，多兰你之前可是比本片男主帅的多啊。
西方音乐史刚刚讲完浪漫主义末期的歌剧，没想到看到这样的作品，仿佛现身说法了。我喜欢这种文学化的叙事，几乎全是巴洛克或古典以及浪漫派的配乐，油画般的舞美，整个观影过程非常享受，正合我意。
Very unsurprising movie. It’s grand and intricate, in a neutral way
没读过同名原著小说，从我读过的巴尔扎克的“高老头”“欧也妮葛朗台”我觉得多兰把这部拍的很好啊，就不分析媒体人如何为了钱或者媒体都是有倾向性的，资本怎样，或者贵族如何如何的，我觉得考完这部反而觉得吕西安会东山再起的。
是精彩的，虽然拍摄得比较中规中矩，叙事靠旁白强行推进，但是巴尔扎克的作品太厉害了。洞察力，敏锐性，批判性在近两百年后的今天依旧有强烈现实意义。
一直以为男主会一步步逆袭，结果被大算计了！
反面版本的Bel ami，Dolan的旁白太好听了，看完又让人相信爱情了呜呜。
-如果它很有启发，那就说他哗众取宠好了！
阶级突破后得意忘形，打回原形，忘了自己想要什么！
名著永不过时，看完电影就下单买了一本巴尔扎克的《幻灭》。
过气演员大联欢。也许19世纪的东西真的不适合21世纪了。我们看巴尔扎克，就像剧里的人拿脏水泼的拉辛一样陈腐。想起老王说19世纪，the nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass; the nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
法国诗人的幻灭。在权力面前，任何天赋、才能、美好的东西，都是不堪一击的。
是为被纸醉金迷的社交所裹挟的人拍的，为让文学成为一块卑微的踏板的吕西安们拍的；也是为菲茨杰拉德这种人拍的，本可以“回归写作，回归他自己”，身体却被泽尔达所占有、被疯狂、失控的派对摧毁，他的灵魂并不属于文学。藏在故事背后的内森拥有真正的文学之眼，冷静地审视喧嚣与沉沦，“我想到了所有那些在觉醒之后，必须找到内在力量的人”：文学家不是记者，记者是语言的零售商、词语贩子、艺术家和公众之间的经纪人；文学家不是供职报社、出版社的掮客，“在巴黎，要生存下去，要懂得和纺织大亨们分享自己的女人”，不是那些见风使舵、是非不分的生意人；文学家不该是保皇党和自由党眼中的一张选票，不该向贵族的封号低头、也不该辱没爱情的庄重。吕西安曾形容卡洛琳，“她穿一双猩红色的长袜，有一张初恋的面容”，仅在那一刻他与文学擦身而过。
