This time, the director ditched the flashback narrative structure, making the plot more straightforward and easy to follow. He incorporated fantasy elements and close-up shots in the intimate scenes between the two women, which, in a way, carries on the dreamy, ambiguous style of Hiroshima Mon Amour.

Desta vez, o diretor abandonou a estrutura narrativa de flashback, tornando a trama mais direta e fácil de acompanhar. Ele incorporou elementos de fantasia e close-ups nas cenas íntimas entre as duas mulheres, o que, de certa forma, dá continuidade ao estilo sonhador e ambíguo de Hiroshima, Meu Amor.

La película oscila entre la realidad y la ilusión, lo que hace que la incertidumbre sea la única fuente de tensión.

Esta vez, el director dejó de lado la estructura narrativa de los flashbacks, haciendo que la trama fuera más directa y fácil de seguir. Incorporó elementos de fantasía y primeros planos en las escenas íntimas entre las dos mujeres, lo que, de alguna manera, continúa con ese estilo onírico y ambiguo de Hiroshima Mon Amour.
