The Freebie centers on Darren (Shepard) and Annie (Aselton), a young married couple with an enviable relationship built on love trust and communication. Darren and Annie still enjoy each other’s company and laugh at each other’s jokes, but, unfortunately, they can’t remember the last time they had sex. When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with a way to spice things up. The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked. Could a freebie be the cure for their ailing sex life? And will they go through with it? With a keen eye and fresh take, Aselton’s directorial debut shines with crisp storytelling and fine-tuned performances. THE Freebie is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships , and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded.
海明威说巴黎是一席流动盛宴，这个片子实在是把巴黎纸醉金迷、浮动的欲望展现出来了。上一个让我惊艳的复古质感的电影是巴里林登。台词功底还是得益于巴尔扎克了？
可能是因为优点所在的穿越时代的故事和金句来自巴尔扎克的原著，原本也是因为想偷懒不看原著来看看电影，后来查了一下发现差得挺多的
百年前的评论、炒作、诋毁等各种手段从内核与当下无异。
“我终于不再期待，开始生活。”
又应了《红楼梦》中那番话：“那红尘中有却有些乐事，但不能永远依恃；况又有‘美中不足，好事多魔’八个字紧相连属，瞬息间则又乐极悲生，人非物换，究竟是到头一梦，万境归空，倒不如不去的好。”
散发着小地主气息的十九世纪文学巨作。改编yyds
2个多小时的还原原著，OST都是非常耳熟能详的巴洛克曲子，上流社会和理想幻灭，来源于名利的虚无主义。很好笑的是，在他们编写假新闻搞来猴子的时候，配乐全是巴洛克优雅的OST，很好笑了。服化道max，巴尔扎克还是很心软哇
哈哈，精辟～
巴黎掀开她的裙子，让这个信徒般的年轻诗人，看见她骇人的裸体。今夜向整个巴黎宣战的于连，将在傍晚时分走入家乡的湖中
好的故事，今时今日依然如是，可见其经典，人类进步真缓慢。男女主的表演差了些，其它完成中规中矩。
爱情，爱情，该死的爱情。
3.5分，敘述很平淡，但故事的本身很“巴黎”，很現實殘酷，出身低的外省人，想靠才華與打扮跟貴族平起平坐，簡直是自掘墳墓。巴爾扎克把巴黎人的勢利寫到骨子裡
好看！虽然导演用了太多旁白有偷懒之嫌，但巴尔扎克的作品改编成电影可太优秀了！男演员也很厉害！
西方音乐史刚刚讲完浪漫主义末期的歌剧，没想到看到这样的作品，仿佛现身说法了。我喜欢这种文学化的叙事，几乎全是巴洛克或古典以及浪漫派的配乐，油画般的舞美，整个观影过程非常享受，正合我意。
Lucien本来要讽刺一本书，然而在他看完书后，说"我无法诋毁这本书，它有着力量，感情...文章inspired，sincere，never conventional."
Lucien学到了这个方法，最终也被这个方法所打倒，幻灭。
当理想变成借口 欲望就会吞噬所有 折射媒体和政治的乱象 人类真的毫无进步
我倒是挺想看到吕西安的失败，但是卡洛琳有点无辜，整部剧略拖沓
He would stop hoping, and start living.
He stopped hoping, and started living. Everything has a price, even for the eternal restplace. In Paris, things are on sale, on display. There are trades everywhere, you trade your soul for money, for sex addiction, for social status, even for a little respect. Never learned the rules, you trade everything for nothing. Game over, illusions predues.
