Adrienne, "I don't get it."
David, "Why? What don't you get?"
A: What's the deeper meaning?
D: What do you mean? It's a happy ending.
A:There has to be a deeper meaning.
D: No, it's just a movie. Enjoy it.

Insights anyone?

I think it's a critique of the modern technological society. The people of the town (including, in the beginning, the carpenter) are all linked to The Mill (Le Moulin): when it is stopped, they are powerless; when it spins, they can move; when it goes wild, they are frantic and out of control.

During the storm, one cog (the carpenter's) breaks off; the carpenter finds himself then able to live at a steady, happy pace (now that his link with technology is broken). He invites his wife into this life, but she cannot enjoy it (or him), because she is still linked.

He then attacks The Mill, as he now recognizes the trouble it causes; note that the people cannot fight him unless the Mill is turning.

But, in the end, The Mill collapses and falls into the river, where it will now turn steadily forever. The people of the town are glad, as they can now live the slow, steady life that the carpenter discovered.

That totally makes sense! I knew the film had a deeper meaning. And now it is much more powerful. Now I have to spend the day processing that new information.
