Named "Mina Tannenbaum" (Mina's Story)

Produced: France, 1994

Director: Martina Digosson

Starring: Romana -Paulinger (as Mina)

Elsa Zilberstein (as Adele)

This is a story about two women, Mina and Adele - two girls who were born in the same hospital and have known each other since they were 10 years old and grew up together. Maybe I'm aloof by nature, so it's hard to imagine that friendship between same-sex people can be powerful enough to destroy one of them without the homosexual element involved. I can't remember if there were any warm and touching moments between them, but I am sure that they need each other to the point of extreme dependence. Two girls who have been discriminated against because of their appearance since childhood are always used to finding reasons for psychological balance in each other, and they also get the feeling of being valued from each other. They rely on each other, comfort each other, and even envy and disdain each other. They were both emotionally inferior people, but they both tried to be self-centered and ignored each other's happiness and longing - they all had the desire to control and drive. As I write this, a question suddenly comes to mind: Do most women’s inferiority complex come from dissatisfaction with their appearance? The first love of these two women ended inexplicably, both due to their extreme lack of confidence in their looks: Adele loved a man madly, but she refused to go to bed with him. The reason was simply that she was afraid that he would see her "fat." body"; and Mina, her boyfriend was about to leave the city and wanted to see her one last time and give her his address, but Mina refused to go downstairs to see him, just because she had a bad haircut that day, and she felt Too ugly to be seen. This film was indeed shot by a woman, because only a woman can understand the significance of appearance to a woman.

Mina is talented, independent and sensitive but lacks soft beauty. Adele is clumsy and vain, but can persevere and is not afraid of ridicule and does whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Mina has always maintained a strong sense of superiority over Adele in terms of ability, and has experienced the pleasure of being looked down upon by a strong person amidst Adele's numerous setbacks. However, Adele has the resilience to continue to improve despite setbacks. She becomes sexy and beautiful, and she begins to get everything she wants easily, including the man Mina is obsessed with. And she did all this not only to fight for her own destiny, but also to try to get rid of the powerful shadow of Mina and her mother. It can be said that Adele is fighting to turn defeat into victory with a subconscious inferiority complex - but she is also wondering why she is not happy even though she has gained everything.

Mina was depressed and fell because of this. In one day, she experienced the betrayal of love and friendship. Perhaps her fall can be explained by the disfigurement caused by a car accident - the man who liked her stopped being attentive, the art dealer stopped accepting her paintings, the hotel owner was no longer willing to look up at her, and even a man pestered her and saw her She also left in disgust... The inferiority complex she had felt since childhood suddenly awakened. But these are definitely not the real reasons for her depression - when she lost her lover, her livelihood, and her psychological balance. Suddenly she realized that what she was sad about was not that the man she loved left, but that she lost the female companion she thought she didn't care about and never took seriously. From then on, she could no longer draw spirited paintings and could only make a living by tracing famous paintings for some people.

A few years later, she finally plucked up the courage to go to Adele's residence, pretending to be a chance encounter, and met Adele on the street. At this time, Adele seemed to be a successful and happy woman - she had a happy family, lovely children, and a husband that her mother had strongly opposed in the past - she had won these for herself little by little. (She seduced the man Mina liked, but did not marry him. Everything was just to get better than Mina.) Mina looked at her best friend, feeling nostalgic and feeling inferior. She asked: Why didn't you come to me after all these years? Adele said calmly: But you didn't come to me either. Once, at Mina's painting exhibition, Adele said to Mina enviously: You are a successful person now. Today, the strength of the two people has changed significantly.

Adele agreed to visit Mina on Saturday. Mina was so ecstatic that the painting inspiration she had lost in the past few years miraculously revived. She picked up the brush and swayed it on the canvas, as if she had returned to her former self. day. At this time, the studio's phone rang. It was Adele calling. She said that she and her husband were going on vacation at the weekend and could not come to see Mina. Adele sounded relaxed and happy, but Mina was desperate - when she discovered her desire for warmth, she could no longer endure the cold shoulder and neglect of her friends. However, everyone is going on with their own lives, and no one will give her special pity. Her inner inferiority finally made her believe that she was alone and unnoticed. She slowly used the largest brush to apply shocking black on the unfinished work until the entire canvas was submerged in black.

Then, he walked into the kitchen and swallowed the poison. After the weekend, Adele called again. On the answering machine, Adele's voice was still cheerful. She said, Mina, I'm back and I'm here to see you. On the floor, Mina lay quietly and coldly, but her face glowed with a calm sheen.

At the end of the story, the woman who has been responsible for "explanation", Mina's sister, said: This is Mina's story... The camera was turned off, the lights were turned off, and the woman said: What's wrong, why are you I only care about Mina, me, me, who will listen to my story... It turns out that everyone lives in their own world, but they can't escape the shadow of others. It seems that the story has two heroines, but in fact, there is only one.

I found a review written by someone else~`I think it’s very good`~

"Mina Tannenbaum" Director: Martine Dougson France 1994< /p>

This is the kind of crazy romance and lingering despair that is unique to France.

In the story, there is a girl Mina and her friend Adele, their love story, from birth to death. There is also a woman with a cold expression who is not beautiful in any case. She walks around in every scene and makes some incisive summaries or brief analyses, so that the story can flow as smoothly as a character resume. Maybe she's a director or screenwriter.

In the beginning, Mina and the others were children, with childish voices, discussing the "mouth to mouth, tongue to tongue" they had seen secretly. The little girls expressed surprise and disdain. They were normal and pretended. Disdain can be discussed more deeply. You know, even as children, we are very interested in this issue.

Then they grow up, they are all girls in art school. In fact, they have not grown up yet. They yearn for love, but they don’t know how to win it. Mina’s delicate little face like Demi Moore hides it. Behind the thick tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses and long, messy hair, Adele has an attractive convex face, but wears a gray hat and gray clothes. Oh, it's really terrible, a clumsy girl, a flower that has not yet bloomed.

But love comes suddenly and easily, because in youth, someone will always fall in love with you. You are just as young and clumsy as each other’s angel. Then, maybe because of youth, love passed away so suddenly and easily.

When you really grow up later, that cold and ugly woman takes you to Mina’s oil painting exhibition and tells you that she has multiple ex-lovers, a current lover and a secret crush. (Girls can’t miss Mina’s clothing this season. In the exhibition, she wore a thin white sweater and a black suspender skirt. She was simple and pure. She is what every man is willing to be obsessed with and protect. Most of the time she wears red, The red coat and red sweater. Such a pure and strong red color really matches such a fair and delicate face. It is as beautiful as a spell.) Perhaps the success of Mina's painting exhibition is inseparable from her beauty. Of course talent is important, but beauty is always more convenient. At this age, we all begin to understand and utilize our beauty.

Adele is not mentioned here. Well, she was gray and showed no signs of success.

So she had a fight with Mina, and you couldn't blame her for being jealous. You must know that even the pickiest eaters in the world will always eat jealousy.

Mina walked out of the cafe alone. A car stopped suddenly, with an ashen body and half-length jeans stained with bleeding indigo. Crowds gathered buzzingly.

Adele goes to the white ward and brings a pair of bright red gloves to the patients. The indifferent woman winks at you and shrugs. Mina, who is covered in bandages, says that she is disfigured.

Hey, you should really see the reactions of the men at this time, the trembling eyes, tightened corners of the mouth, or even outright sneers. Who says being ugly isn't a mistake? This is simply a sin.

Alas, France's romance still refused to let Mina be ruined at this time, and the scar that should be ugly was as light as a tear trail. The slender neck, the thick long hair, and the faint traces of tears... The melancholy in the eyes of this disfigured woman should be melted away by double care, but people seem to be more willing to pursue dazzling beauties. Maybe it's true that they have food and sex, but they shouldn't act so honestly.

Mina visits her mentally disturbed father for the first time in years, as disaster brings victims closer. Her father did not recognize her, but slowly and seriously recited: "Small head/big butt/snoring/never seen again." Maybe there is some meaning, maybe there is nothing. He just recited it repeatedly. I chanted until I roared until I was hoarse and burst into tears. Mina stepped back and fled in a hurry. There was a row of pale fluorescent lights in the pale corridor.

Adele marries the man Mina has a crush on. "But I didn't do anything." She said innocently. Of course not, it was the man himself who became obsessed with the increasingly charming Adele.

Mina's loyal current lover left her. "What else do you have to add?" he said coldly. Of course not. During the decisive quarrel between Mina and Adele, Adele revealed that Mina only regarded him as a dog to fill her loneliness, and he heard it.

Mina clutched her belly, the softest part of her body, and curled up on the floor in a fetal position as if she had been shot.

Perhaps it is all her own fault. She is usually proud and sharp, but because of her injury, she becomes even more sensitive, fierce and difficult to get along with, but - but, if she is still successful and beautiful, they will never agree to it. Leaving her so easily.
