Geschichte
Hua, a late-twenty-something woman from China studying in Paris, becomes involved with men who physically harm her. The story begins when she is dumped by her lover and wanders the streets until she encounters Mathieu, a French construction worker who accidentally hits her face with pipes he's carrying. Apologetic, Mathieu invites Hua to dinner, but later rapes her as they leave the restaurant. Despite this, the two begin an affair driven by intense sexual desire. Their relationship becomes complicated when Mathieu's friend Giovanni also rapes Hua in an attempt to test her fidelity. Eventually, Hua discovers secrets about Mathieu's life and decides to return to China.
Zusammenfassung
Love and Bruises (2011) directed by Lou Ye and Ye Lou is a French-Chinese drama that explores the complex and often disturbing dynamics of relationships between men and women. The film follows Hua, a Chinese student in Paris who seems drawn to abusive partners, and Mathieu, a French construction worker with his own troubled past. The story raises questions about consent, power, and desire within relationships, though it's important to note that some sources describe events as rape which may be challenging for viewers.
