JGet a picture of Audiard’s freewheeling ensemble. Paris, 13th arrondissement, or Les Olympiades, is a sexy movie about sexiness. Sexy is the glue that binds movies and provides connective tissue between different scenes and characters. The movie lives in the tense desire before intercourse, the sleepy residue after intercourse, the urgency of intercourse. People here have a lot of sexual behaviors, and most of the older non-sexual people (fathers, grandmothers) are not present, even though the father is actually having sex (off-camera). But when sex was withdrawn, it left behind most of the sadness and resentment not mentioned in the movie.
Les Olympiades is the name of a high-rise apartment building in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, where the action mainly takes place-the film was shot in unpretentious black and white, which never made the city look beautiful in any new fuzzy style. Adapted from 2015 Some stories in the collection “Kill and Die” by American cartoonist Adrian Tomin And transplanted from the United States to France. It may be that Audiard’s films did not convey the admirable sweetness and sympathy like Tomin’s story, but his film production was very smooth and visually striking; he got a strong performance from his actors, his Storytelling is also very interesting. Audiard also unconsciously inherited the mysterious combined world effect of a character in one story appearing in another story: the cautious sprinkling of accidents and coincidences that happened throughout the film.
Lucie Zhang plays Émilie, an articulate young woman who lives in her grandma’s apartment. She now lives in a nursing home with dementia. Her apartment is rent-free. Émilie is looking for a roommate to provide her with some unearned income because she (correctly) feels that she is about to be fired from her call center job for being rude to her clients. This is Camille (Makita Samba), a high school teacher who is about to quit his job to study for a doctoral thesis. They had sex-he was irritated by the Saran wrap she wrapped around her stomach to lose weight-but he lightly declared that he didn’t want to be a couple with her, but was just a good roommate, which hurt her Feelings.
Camille’s own destiny is linked to that of Nora (Noemi Merant), a woman in her thirties. Paris Avoid establishing toxic coercive relationships in her hometown and enroll as a mature student. However, when she went to a party wearing a peroxide wig, Nora was mistaken for the linear chat worker “Amber Sweet” (Jehnny Beth); after being viciously bullied, Nora approached Amber Sweet for help, Their relationship began to develop.
Interpersonal relationships and how we treat others are the topics-perhaps my favorite moment is when Camille visits his recently widowed father (Pol White) and his 16-year-old sister Eponine (Camille Léon-Fucien). He is now planning to become a talk show comedian, what do he think? Camille immediately published an extremely arrogant monologue, telling how he despised comedy. Poor Epanny rushed into her bedroom tearfully; Camille shrugged arrogantly, and said in a fearless and upright manner that she had asked him for advice. His father didn’t believe it: “No one cares what you think!” He was furious and added that all Camille had to do was show a little support.
This is real. Opinions are changeable and can be ignored: the need to show wit, kindness, and love is constant. I’m not sure if Les Olympiades has spoken too deeply about any of its characters, but Audiard has achieved something very worth watching and entertaining when selecting them. This is a dating movie for connoisseurs.
