Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member a body constructed by disassembling Lauret's failure seems to suggest that he cannot fully integrate into the boy's world, and that the decisive reason is because of the biological gender gap between humans. But this is not the end of Lore's experiment. Before the swimming meet with the children, Laure takes his own red swimsuit out of the box and cuts off his upper body. A girl's body, which is integrally constituted in a swimsuit, is separated by Lore's hand and foretells that she will leap into another body image. Seeing himself in a swimsuit in front of a mirror, Laure feels unsatisfied with just a separate swimsuit, and makes a substitute for a man's root that comes into his hand while pretending to play with clay. The clay genitals successfully finish their job in swimsuits and wait for the day they are reused in Lauret's jewel box. "Some of the bodies, which are often absent, are conveniently portable through the children's imagination, threatening the 'original' position." As his brother Jeanne (Maron Levana) and Lauret act like a gentleman by sticking their cut hair together like a mustache, becoming a man is a kind of game in which they partially reconstruct themselves and find other uses. The fact that the biological part is decisive also means that the boundaries between sexes are at risk. If the fact that Laure has other sexes plays a decisive role in the story, it forms a net of reversed meanings from the level of image. In the "Truth or Dialogue" game, Michael (Laure) chews the gum that Lisa (Gene Dyson) chewed at the request of her children. On the part of the person who made him do it, Michael thought he was a boy, but just because he was a girl doesn't change the meaning of his action. The reason why Lisa and Michael look awkward in the scene of makeup is because they looked like a child imitating an adult or a boy wearing makeup. The reason why his mother wore a blue dress to Lauret is because it doesn't suit Lauret at all. While the phenomenon of cross-gender costumes continues to be consistent with biological sex, the world of clear gender segregation accepts a more distinct mixture without even knowing it. In that sense, synchronized swimming in "Water lilies" is similar to dancing. Synchronized swimming is an image sport in which members dance to the beat, and a body sport that is divided. The audience watches the body parts like the legs, arms, and heads that are up on the water. Selin Siama transforms sports on the surface of the water into underwater exercises through Marie (Pauline Aquar). Under the water, as opposed to accurate and precise underwater movements, the flexible and hasty body movements, which can be grasped at once why they are compared to octopus, spread naked. A bird's-eye shot of two girls jumping into the water, connected to support each other, shows a gesture that flatly integrates separated bodies and refuses to belong to either the upper or lower part of the water. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review andy h 4.3 there's a bit of forced chemistry build up, but anyone with empathy or a libido can't look away from how well it's made and the passionate still scenes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautifully tender drama about young love in its many shapes and sizes is rich, honest, and sensitive towards its young cast who shine under Sciamma's direction. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Water Lilies is a great coming of age story that feels like it's the awkward middle chapter of an Eighth Grade/Book Smart trilogy.
