"The Nature of Love" - Thoughts

My uncle Roger (fictitious name, as always), is someone whom I'll stick with a long-deceased movie critic's first name as retirement's brought about a kind of informal career development. Namely, after working for the Feds up Quebec for several decades, he's turned into the type who emails us every single year's best movies, according to him.

Roger and his girlfriend Martha aren't exactly blockbuster types, except in a few rare instances. Most of everything they gush over's been selected at Cannes - and this year included Monia Chokri's The Nature of Love.

We follow Sophia (Magalie Lépine-Blondeau), a Postgrad lecturer in Philosophy who's the exact type I came to know all-too well, during my time at my old alma mater: a thesaurus on two legs, her head stuffed with theories on anything and everything, with a pseudo-informed opinion all packaged up and ready for five-to-seven dinners with colleagues that devolve into inebriated pontification. We realize that she's unhappy with her current partner, another Postgrad lecturer by the name of Xavier (Francis-William Rhéaume) with whom she loves geeking out, of course - but for whom she no longer manifests any sexual attraction.

Enters Sylvain Tremblay, played by Pierre-Yves Cardinal, the handyman Sophia and Xavier hire for sprucing up their lakeside cabin. Sylvain's pretty much every woodsy contractor you've ever met: he wears flannel, has a constant five o'clock shadow, drives a Ford F-150 and has family up in Buck Country, where it isn't uncommon to see even bigger Fords with rigged-up support bars, typically decorated by the antlers of the last buck they killed. Sylvain's brash, honest, stomps away and screams when his feelings get the better of him - and has a bit of a jealous streak. Sophia obviously falls for him, with the movie taking pains to ensure we see that Sophia and Sylvain make for a terriffic pair in bed.

Very early on, I was annoyed by the framing device of Sophia's lectures, seeing as she was seemingly spending an entire semester discussing love. She spends the movie flip-flopping between a man she has intellectual compatibility but no sex drive, and another man with whom her sex drive is turned up to eleven - at the expense of nearly everything else. Similarly, we see her addressing Plato's definition of love as opposed to Schopenhauer's, then followed by other contemporary philosophers - and the movie dovetails exactly the way I expected it to.

Sophia feels slighted by Sylvain's poorly-timed proposal and for his offering of an entry-level all-inclusive package in a resort, drops her newly-received engagement ring in his glove box, and is left on the roadside.

All the while, Walt gave me looks. He noted that halfway through the movie, I took five to go get my mouthguard. I grind my teeth when I'm annoyed and oh boy howdy, was I annoyed...

See, Quebec as a cultural basin has a thing that I've noticed, a yen for a particular archetype, as far as fictitious characters go: that of the Pretentiously Soul-Searching Intellectual. From Denys Arcand's earlier work and onwards, we've sort of gotten stuck on the idea that people can spend decades stuffing themselves with knowledge, without ever finding enough time to figure out what makes them happy. The end-result is that you have simpler, more self-accepting characters like Sylvain, with his Ford and his humbly scrounged-for Puerto Vallarta getaway, who actually have a sense of Self - and then there's characters like Sophia, or like Alexandre Landry's Pierre-Paul Daoust, in 2018's The Fall of the American Empire, who idolize intellectualism to an extreme, but who also end up with a critical dearth of happiness and of self-assertion, as a result.

I ended The Nature of Love thinking that Sophia (with her very ironic name, come to think of it) would be better served if she abandoned her dreams of tenure, booked herself with a therapist and maybe took a year or so to find herself whilst on a backpacking trip across Asia.

In a sense, she reminded me of myself. In my Postgrad years, I was surrrounded with man and woman-children who were set for the narrow, unforgiving and extremely limiting ranges of Academia, and who attended Thesis lectures in pajamas, stained tee-shirts and unkempt beards - and who took calls related to their fucking laundry being done by their parents whilst attempting to come across as snooty enough to maybe shoot for a doctorate in ten years or so. I've left a world where most of the people I interacted with could shit out memoirs on the Post-Democratic anxieties of our Post-Post-9/11 world while not knowing enough to screw a lightbulb on their own - and I entered a world where people have arguably far less lofty aspirations.

My bigger concern used to be whether or not the three pedants in my promotion would shit down my defending the idea that Lovecraft could've been a repressed gay man before it was a trendy theory, and Walt's is whether or not Honda Canada is going to sanction the new promotions the Sales Directors cooked up for dealerships surrounded by whistling pines and miles of empty highway.

I've left a world that keeps searching for love in the pages of men and women who are never seen as offering a simple and honest exhortation to get out there and love someone - and I've done just that. I don't give a shit if all S.T. Joshi is for Walt is a funny name on some of my old thesis notes - I've left that kind of pedantry behind.
