I dont understand the end of the movie , when Julie is a different person. Or looks different I should say.
I think that the story is about incest and at the end we are seeing the daughter of the Julie and her father. I haven't seen the movie in a while but I remember seeing different signs pointing to that.
Are there any theory that explain the movie ?
I do not beleive that Julie only existed in Sahrah Mind (so Marcel's Daughter is?)
At the end of the move, you see a flash back to the house in France. Sarah is standing on the balcony and waving at a girl getting out of the pool: the girl is the 'real' Julie, the more average looking English girl. Does this not prove that the sexy, French Julie was just in Sarah's imagination? Sarah obvioulsy knows the English Julie when she meets her in the publisher's office, as she says hello to her by name. 82.45.221.120 14:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I would say that almost everything that happened in the house actually happened - but in reality the girl was a younger, more average looking girl. It makes the events a lot more disturbing in that context. But Sarah brings in elements of the character in her novel into what we "see" happen in the reality. 2/12/08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.143.202.168 ( talk) 04:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
The simplest explanation is that the French Julie is the mistress's daughter, and the English Julia is the legitimate daughter mentioned by John at 6:50 as an excuse as to why it might be dificult to visit Sarah ..."I have my daughter." Whether the French Julie and all her scenes are real or just Sarah's imagination or writings is difficult to say and prove.
And note the red dress Sarah is wearing at the end when she waves to Julia and then Julie. Is it not the same red dress that was already in the closet when Sarah was unpacking? So does that make it Julie's mother's dress? And representing perhaps Sarah's longing to be John's wife and/or mistress, and mother to his children? TjoeC ( talk) 15:34, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I think the point of the film is that what is reality and what isn't is not clearly distinguishable

The Interpretation section, which I just cleaned up, has no reference/sources. Could whoever wrote it find the article that they read this in and source it? Otherwise, it looks like original research, or possibly even a bulletin board discussion of the film. Zepheus 18:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay. I'm not sure that we're going to find many/any in-depth analyses of this movie. I'll read some of those reviews and see if I can generally translate what they're saying. There is also an article about the movie in the magazine Cineaste, a fairly famous cinema magazine. I think that they might have a better analysis of the movie, but the article isn't available online (as far as I can tell). If I feel the need, I'll hit the library here and photocopy the article (if it's useful). Heheh, then I'll really be a serious Wikipedian. - Zepheus 21:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Although I did not write the interpretation section, the content was mine and it came from an IMDB post under the username Lord X-2. Although some may say it sounds ridiculous, upon viewing it again you WILL see the color cues there in a way that goes beyond coincidence. Mine was just an original interpretation of the visual/color cues.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
