Gustave and Sophie arent bitter ex-lovers; and so there are myriad unspoken truths that neither wants to address.
Its unclear why the pair broke up in the first place.
Why talk about anything unpleasant when someone knows theyre entering their final moments in life?
Instead, the game has Gustave and Sophie reconnect despite the somber context.
The movie focuses on the death of dreams and desire, specifically when it comes to fame and performers.
Even so, they end up finding love, family, and success even without each other.
Its a snapshot of a different life, and an experience many of us have likely been through ourselves.
It stings so much like Clair Obscur does in its opening moments.
Theres no screaming or sobbing goodbye.
They mourn the idea of having to live in a world without the Paintress.
From there, Gustave doesnt find much comfort in a world without Sophie.
