Great Film - But I Don't Know Why!
I really enjoyed this film. However, it left me with a couple of questions that I'm not sure the director would have intended. Or would he?
I was able to fully immerse myself within the bleak, depressing reality of Doinel's life, while somehow remaining emotionally neutral. Why? Did anyone else have this 'issue', was that the desired effect? Or is it just me?
In retrospect I'm unable to explain my admiration for this film. I don't think I appreciated the the ending, since I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take away from it. Was it a conclusion? It was a long, bounding run to freedom that ended abruptly with an ambiguous, apprehensive look into the audience's eyes. It was almost shocking because it was so unexpected. Is Antoine looking at me? A pursuer?
What does it all mean?!
Or am I over thinking this film?
