Evaluation of the movie "Farewell is Beautiful":
The narrative of this film is very absorbing and delicate. Secret emotions flow in the dark. The farewell between mother and father, this marriage, and Eliot's farewell to Clement all have a silent and depressing grandeur. It is this grandeur that has its unique beauty.
The pictures and tones in "Farewell is Beautiful" are really beautiful and comfortable. There are some mottled and faded villas hidden at the end of the winding path deep in the woods, and the lake surface is sparkling under the sun with fallen leaves. Leisurely people in the tavern drank beer and chatted.
The scenery and music in the film are very powerful in rendering, but at the same time, the sadness of the young man also gives the scenery and music a profound meaning. The director is a poet. Every look and every word in the film has its origin, every emotion has its deposition, and every touch of color has its distance.
Plot summary:
It is always a long process to say goodbye to a stage, a relationship, and see the past life again. Acceptance takes time, rebirth requires courage, and the final goodbye must be passed step by step. After their marriage came to an end, the mother and her son came to the holiday home in the south of France to make the final arrangements, preparing to say goodbye to this big house full of happy memories.
The mother, who is still mourning the loss of her relationship, gradually becomes estranged from her son. Facing the bright but silent scenery, the appearance of a man brings varying degrees of shock to the two. It beautifully records the end of marriage, the end of boyhood and the disintegration of a middle-class family.
