Pathetic and Hilarious, as life is sometimes
14 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
From the very beginning of the movie we can see clearly how disgusting and abusive the main character is. Little by little, we start to understand that the other people in his life are not particularly angels either: they agree to play his games even though they might say the opposite. The whole "love" story is very toxic and pathetic, yet unfortunately we've all (all?) been there so this mirror is there blatantly dangling before our very eyes to see and learn how not to.

Do we believe Martin, who's chopping onions in order not(?) to cry at the end of the movie, when he says that he is ending this? Does the anthem-like music crescendoing in the last scene suggest the character's metamorphosis? Will Agathe stop playing with fire?

Probably not. But you never know. There's always hope.
