The charm of “Boy Meets Girl” lies in the contrast between the remarkably old-looking presentation and the auteur’s juvenile and punkish sensibility. Nouvelle vague-influenced editing aside, the film’s aesthetics and stilted acting root back in the silent age. Yet, the protagonist incarnates the restlessness and anxieties of the classic late 80s young dreamer, who reads old poetry under a tree and then shoves his trivial love troubles to your face as matters of national security. The poetic tone of the single images is captivating indeed, although the movie as a whole tends to be a little too naive and drawn-out to keep its audience entertained until the end.

最喜欢卡拉克斯的一部 第一部作品视听的掌控力就非常好了 没有他后面作品那么浓烈 第二幕两个人坐在桌前 灯忽明忽暗 两个人说着爱情和生活 怎么在生活中找出口 怎么被爱情伤害 但又离不开生活 缺不了爱情 虽然有点矫情 但是不过度 美丽且诗意 片子如同柠檬一般 让白水加了一点味道 却不浓烈 结尾当男孩让自己错过火车 不顾一切飞奔到女孩身边 浓烈的爱却成了利刃 他永远不知道这是他刺出的 我们也永远没想过用爱去伤害爱人 但是爱人总是被爱所伤

45 minutes in, I still have almost no idea what's happening. But I've had my fill of bad foley, bad editing, obvious splices where part of a shot was replaced with a different take, poor dialogue sync, a scene where half the French dialogue wasn't even subtitled, poor dialogue replacement (including some places where characters continued talking even though their lips weren't moving)… This film might be brilliant, but I just see a lump of coal. The technical flaws could be excused if it had been made a few decades earlier, at least. But unless something drastically changes in the next 58 minutes I won't have anything to say but: "Don't bother." Edit: It did not get better, except for about ten minutes just after the halfway mark. Oh well.
