Hard to understand without knowledge of religion
3 October 2020
Tbh, i watched the movie and appreciate the esthetics, but i do not get the plot.

Roughly 80% of the movie is dialogue, most of which consists of christian (catholic) references, which apparently also result in the main characters extremely prude relationship to women. Also, there are many references to Blaise Pascal who is local to the cty the film is set in. Not being familiar with Pascal or religion, most of the talk is completely empty to me.

But what is left of the movie if you cut out the dialogue? Not much. A main character who is ashamed of anything he may like, apparently due to his catholicism? I found it impossible to relate to him in any way, and since there are only three supporting characters, of which only Maud is allowed a personality of herself, this movie is pretty bland.
