The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
经典就是，故事简单又意味深长，现实中总感觉似曾相识。
就像是读了一部世界名著，精美绝伦地重塑了一个古典华丽的巴黎风情录。
「别人的痛苦才是艺术的源泉，而你去受苦，只会成为别人的艺术源泉」
我能看懂这个故事
真好看。起这个名字真恰当啊。我们拥有过幻梦一样的快乐，财富和地位，最终却依旧变得一无所有，长了一张初恋般脸庞的女孩去世了，最初的坚持也破灭了，好像一切都变得很干净，如我们来到这世界的第一天。
我喜欢，今年目前为止看过的觉得最好的。摊牌了，我就是吃法国电影这一套
幻灭了…perla的字幕机太暗了太暗了我要瞎了ಥ_ಥ
抛开虚荣，回归本心，方能成就自我
一个可能开场就知道会幻灭的故事。男主身处十九世纪上半叶的巴黎，没有权力和家世，即使巴黎确实也给了青春的他昙花一现的名声与财富。电影改编自巴尔扎克的小说，剧本的节奏感很好，除了结尾有些仓促。多兰也在电影中饰演了一个角色，而且电影中的一些镜头也颇具舞台戏剧感，也颇具多兰的风格。
反面版本的Bel ami，Dolan的旁白太好听了，看完又让人相信爱情了呜呜。

人间一场梦。最后结局那句觉醒之后找到内在力量真是可以从古用到今。（以及对于新闻专业的娃来说，小报历史也可以参考参考
明明是两个世纪以前的故事，但搬到现在核心却一点也不过时。只能说技术在向前飞速发展，而人类却一直在原地踏步（一些国家甚至在开历史倒车...🤨
被海报吸引的，看的过程截了很多图。一开始只看了一下简介之后以为这个镜头是说 落魄乡村诗人在巴黎迷失方向后 深夜怀揣仅剩的对美和艺术的爱与狂热 在昏暗的小酒馆里给流浪汉们演绎他的诗作，，结果男主真的好讨人厌啊….盲目自大而且狂妄 他的人格不漂亮 原始的幻想本身不美 “幻灭”也就不够令人触动

The illusion called capitalism
香港法国电影节2021
太平了，太冗长了，旁白太多了......
4.5 声色犬马的巴黎在波谲云诡间无止尽地倾泻她的幻泡，似乎人人都可分得一杯羹。但Lucien在空中坠落时，大概能够回想起来，下雨天在巴黎穿过排水沟也是要花钱的。
这样的剧作堪称经典，不仅是对社会中的尔虞我诈、勾心斗角、世态炎凉的精准刻画，亦是对那样一种社会体系的描绘，这种作品的经典之处在于其不因社会形态的变化而消失，却随之在人世间何种阶段都会不断复演——经典永不过时…🥃
