If not for C.C. walking in on them, Maxwell and Fran would have done it in the hospital bed next to Niles. After the fact, Fran is encouraged that finally something is happening between them. Maxwell on the other hand is still uncertain, and gets some glib advice from Niles to preoccupy Fran with some meaningless project, like redecorating a room, to give him more time to figure out what to do. Fran sees right through what Maxwell's doing. Sylvia sees Maxwell's ploy as letting Fran into his life and his home, especially as the room in question is the sanctuary: the kitchen. Fran initially wants to do all the work herself, much like Maxwell's first wife, Sarah, did with the house, but Sylvia convinces Fran to enlist the help of Fran's flamboyant decorator cousin, Sheila.
这个被导演反复打磨的意象，像一枚尖锐的钢钉。当时在2018年的柏林电影节上，这头沉默的大象用四小时的影像悲鸣，导演用生命浇筑的绝望美学永远定格在电影史的天际线上。 这部浸透死亡意识的遗作，不仅仅是对加缪"真正严肃的哲学问题只有一个，自杀"的影像诠释，更是将中国县城青年的生存困境升华为存在主义困境的现代寓言。Copyright © 2020-2025 All Rights Reserved
