The best thing about this film is that director Alice Vial doesn't go down the route of bitter hatred. Although it touches on death and loneliness, it's wrapped in a light and even playful texture unique to French cinema. Elsa, played by Magalie Lépine-Blondeau, has a penetrating repression and tenderness, while Jonathan Cohen's Oscar becomes the most brilliant surprise in the film.

When watching this play, you will be hit in your soft spot by laughter unconsciously. It's not sentimental, nor does it have that cheap soul-searching. It just calmly watches how two souls cross the invisible gap to confirm each other's existence. This is a film about letting go and picking up, and after watching it, you will find that even if we can't change the ending, the courage to love wholeheartedly within a limited time is itself the strongest weapon against the end. If you are currently in some kind of doubt about your own life, you must go and watch it. It may not tell you the answer to life, but it will definitely teach you how to gracefully shake hands with your regrets. 【电影介绍】 圣马丁医院的深夜总是静得可怕,除了呼吸机起伏的节奏,艾尔莎还能听到一些不该存在的声音。作为一名医术精湛的医生,她习惯了用冰冷的手术刀和处方单构筑起生活的防御工事,时刻提醒自己:不要去理会那些游荡在生死边缘的影子。她本该是一个摆渡人,却因为恐惧世俗的眼光,硬生生把自己困在了一座名为理性的孤岛上,用冷漠遮掩那份能看见逝者的天赋。 直到奥斯卡的出现打破了这一切。他穿着那件皱巴巴的衬衫,带着一丝甚至有些讨人嫌的乐观,大摇大摆地闯进了艾尔莎严丝合缝的生活。最荒谬的是,他不仅不知道自己已经离世,还在计划着如何重返人间,甚至试图把艾尔莎从她的清冷中拽出来。两个世界的人,一个厌世的医生与一个浑然不知死期的亡魂,就这样被迫捆绑在一起,去解开那些被遗落在人世间的琐碎谜题。这不仅仅是一场关于生死的奇幻叙事,更像是一场对生活本质的追问:当我们终将失去一切时,究竟什么才是那抹无法消散的理想之魂? 【观影点评】 这部作品最绝的地方,在于导演爱丽丝·维亚并没有走那种苦大仇深的路线。它虽然触及了死亡与孤独,但被包裹在法国电影特有的那种轻盈、甚至带着点俏皮的质感之下。玛加丽·列平·布隆多饰演的艾尔莎,那种压抑且隐忍的温柔极具穿透力,而乔纳森·科恩的奥斯卡,则成了整部片子里最闪耀的变量,他让那种本来沉重的宿命感,瞬间变得像午后阳光一样斑驳且温暖。 看这部戏的时候,你会不自觉地在阵阵轻笑中被击中软肋。它不煽情,也没有那种廉价的灵魂拷问,只是平静地看着两个灵魂如何跨越那道看不见的鸿沟,去确认彼此在当下的意义。这是一部关于放手与重拾的电影,看完之后你会发现,即便我们无法改变生离死别的结局,但那种在有限时间里全心投入去爱的勇气,本身就是对抗终结的最强武器。如果你最近正处于某种对自己生活的怀疑中,或是需要一点治愈的力量,一定要去看看这部片,它或许不能直接告诉你人生的终极答案,但一定会教会你如何优雅地与自己的遗憾握手言和。
