I love this film. That is not to say that it doesn’t have flaws. The dialogue, the camera-work, the lighting, all these things sometimes seem clunky and amateurish. However, the goal of the film is to put a romantic relationship under a microscope and portray it as naturally and honestly as possible. In order to achieve that, some things must be sacrificed: secondary characters, production design, revelation of plot.
Audiences often see plot and story as the same. Actually, story is the road along which we travel (i.e. this happens, then this happens, then this…), where as plot equals two seemingly unrelated events that effect each other. Most films have more plot than story. That is to say, they cut to the chase, telling us what THIS has to do with THAT. FP does the opposite. It compresses plot in order to focus as much as possible on it’s main character: the relationship. FP is not about the way Nicole and Stuart effect each other, or about the way outside forces effect them, it is simply about the fact that this relationship occurred. It began, eventually it ended, and if that can be portrayed honestly, without pulling punches or cutting to the chase, then why would a film need to be anything more?
FP has been compared to Scenes From A Marriage. After seeing FP I’ve realized that Bergman is a large presence in SFAM and that may be a problem. Bergman shows us Johan and Marriane from a distance, carefully pointing out their foibles as if to say, “look at how absurd human relationships are.” Lipsky never does that. He never judges his characters or analyzes them, he simply puts the camera in their faces and says, “this is what a relationship looks like.”
In regard to the ending, I am compelled to mention the most effective ending in film history: Anthony Quinn’s epiphany on the beach in La Strada. The end of FP should work the same. We’ve watched Stuart make one mistake after another and just as he realizes how closely he came to an actual human connection and how foolish he was to let it go, we realize that we’ve made the same mistakes and there is no simple answer as to how to live our lives. Through this we should find sympathy for Stuart and that makes FP more engaging and complex than many films out there. If FP fails to effect it’s audience, well then, at least Mr. Lipsky is film-literate, because not enough working directors are. With all of it’s flaws and awkward moments, I can’t help but fall for a film that challenges me and refuses to assure me that everything will be alright in the end.
