浪漫风格

《浪漫风格》在叙事上采用了精巧的环形结构，以一场雨夜偶遇为起点，通过三次时间跳转拼贴出主角关系中的关键裂隙。如果你厌倦了造作的大团圆，或者正在思考爱情里“形式”与“真心”的平衡，这部片子会让你笑着叹一口气。乔吉亚·凯登斯的表演克制得恰到好处，她的眼神里藏着台词都没写出来的犹豫与温柔，几场对着镜子发呆的长镜头让我想起身边真实的朋友。这种“因果倒置”的叙事手法，让原本俗套的争吵戏码焕发出令人屏息的张力。叙事上不靠狗血冲突推进，而是用大量日常对话和沉默间隙来铺陈感情——男女主角在深夜厨房里有一搭没一搭聊着童年，镜头就对着他们的侧脸和窗外的雨，那种真实的尴尬与试探，比任何台词都有说服力。适合偏爱“慢电影”气质、愿意从细节中抠情感脉络的观众，而非追求戏剧冲突的爆米花爱好者。

　　Brooklyn-based Ella Richards does freelance work as a seamstress to pay the bills, but is also a struggling fashion designer, her talent which her friend Max, who often gets her her sewing work, can see. She specializes in designs for plus sized women such as herself in knowing that the high end fashion industry largely ignores this majority segment of the population in she herself having felt that exclusion all her life. Katie, her best friend and roommate, has her own fashion industry aspirations in wanting to be a fashion editor, although she admits the environment at Look, the high end fashion magazine where she works as an assistant, is not a pleasant one in the Editor-in-Chief Claudia Davenport and her assistant Liza, Katie's boss, treating people in general, including staff, like garbage unless it otherwise serves their needs. The first day that Ella helps Katie with an important fashion shoot at the magazine coincides with Derek Colby's first day there, Colby Publishing, his father Roger Colby's company, the magazine's parent company, assigning him to deal with the magazine's declining revenues, both in advertising and subscriptions, work he has done with other magazines under the Colby banner. Derek secretly asks Ella for a crash course in fashion design to assist in this task at the magazine, she his choice of teacher due to her knowledge of fashion in general, and she seemingly not being intimidated by him which most people tend to be in being a Colby in combination with his good looks resulting in he placing number seven of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. In spending time with Ella, Derek can see the revenue potential of the magazine expanding into the plus sized market and seemingly starts to fall for her in the process in wanting to do one of the first articles in this vein on her design career, much against the wishes of both Claudia and Liza. Beyond whether Derek is able to change the magazine's fortunes with this new direction, what happens between Ella and Derek will depend on whether Ella herself is confident enough in herself and Derek, who generally can have any woman he wants on his arm.—Huggo
