　　本片出自德国新浪潮电影代表人物之一，《铁皮鼓》导演沃尔克·施隆多夫之手，是一部向法国著名导演让·梅尔维尔致敬的经典作品。影片描写第一次世界大战期间，高贵的索菲女伯爵爱上了一位普通士兵，但动荡的时代，因为这段恋情却给两人带来了可怕的灾难，影片悲伤而凄凉，是导演沃尔克·施隆多夫除《铁皮鼓》以外，最被人认同的大师作品……

　　Julien Duvivier最好的作品之一也是他认为自己所有默片中最喜欢的一部。
　　Summary
　　Bullied by his matriarchal mother, abused by his siblings, ignored by his father, Poil de Carotte's childhood is as miserable as it could be.  An illegitimate child, he is the main reason for the enmity which exists between his parents, who continue to live together just to keep up appearances. In the end, Poil de Carotte's suffering becomes more than he can bear...
　　Review
　　Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte.
　　The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944.  Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance.  The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.
　

　　This film is not based on a real story. It is based on thousands.

　　威尔斯唯一一部公映的彩色电影，故事依旧奇情：澳门富商从秘书口中听到一个爱情传说，有人为了香灯有后愿意付钱找人与妻子上床。传说归传说，但澳门富商却要使这个不朽故事成真，找来美女珍．摩露，当正是自己妻子，要她找人轰烈地做爱做的事。乍听下来真是一场天方夜谭，但影片拍来感人至深，53岁的威尔斯与成熟的珍．摩露演出动人不已，最后一个镜头更被影迷形容是「魔术」，令影片入围柏林国际电影节竞逐最佳电影金熊奖。
　　The only colour film by Welles publicly released is another showcase of the absurdity of human nature. A Macau millionaire is told a legend about someone who is willing to pay a huge sum for someone who would sleep with his wife in order to produce an heir. In an act to make the legend real and to immortalise it, the millionaire finds Jeanne Moreau to be his wife and starts to search for the man who would make love to her. A potent performance by Welles and Moreau makes the film purely magical; a Golden Berlin Bear nominee for Berlin International Film Festival.

　　The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.
　　The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,
　　the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.
　　Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.

　　The exploits of three young Roman criminals are chronicled in this socially conscious drama. The young men commit petty crimes all day begin with arms theft, and culminating with a night with three streetwalkers. After their pleasure, the boys try to cheat the hookers, but they ladies are smarter than that and have stolen their cash ahead of time. The punks then return to the city for more crimes. Exploits include the harassment of three homosexuals, and attempts to seduce some women.

　　The lines start with “O Somma Luce” which is the title of the film and also the 67th line of the 33rd canto in “Paradiso” of Dante’s “Divine Comedy” to the end of “Paradiso”.  The film is completed with music and lines instead of emotions and narrations.  This is a recent attempt to combine film with literature.
　　The film begins with a black screen and the music of Edgard Varese. The BGM is “Deserts” that was recorded in 1954. After some moments of darkness, the music ends and a middle-aged man sits on a hill, reciting something. He is Giorgio Passerone, an Italian literature professor, and he is reading out of the last part of ‘Paradiso’ of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Jean-Marie Straub expressed how he thinks of Dante through a subtle accent and dialect. The director who had encoded many great artists and musicians including Bach, complete the combination of Dante and Varese, which could seem strange. (Lim Kyung Yong)

　　The main hero of the film is an electrician with a far greater effect on the people around him than his job defines. He is the last link in a huge energetic system and he becomes the binding bridge between the geopolitical problems of post-soviet space and the common people.
　　The economic devastation of the country had an enormous impact on the industrial workers and yet despite the upheaval, these people did not seize to love and suffer, to have and be friends and to enjoy their lives… In particular our resilient electrician, who possesses a wonderful and open heart. He not only brings electric light (which is often out) to the lives of the inhabitants of this small city, but he also spreads the light of love, loyalty, life and mainly laughter.

　　阿兰．德龙主演的这部犯罪动作片，摒弃了一般银行抢劫后分赃不均而终被逮捕的老套情节，把劫宝的场面安排在飞机上进行，结局则是因家族内一次无意揭发的奸情而致西西里部落全被逮捕。影片布局可谓层次分明，有峰回路转之妙。从开幕西西里家族营救囚车中的萨丹开始，便推展出不少戏剧性的高潮，如阿兰．德龙如何外出召妓惹祸；保险公司随员的太太如何发现丈夫不在飞机上而在报警时认出阿兰．德龙；探长如何监视阿兰．德龙的妹妹而使西西里兄弟被捕等，这些设计都能顺里成章而前后呼应。

　　A place: Theresienstadt. A unique place of propaganda which Adolf Eichmann called the "model ghetto", designed to mislead the world and Jewish people regarding its real nature, to be the last step before the gas chamber. A man: Benjamin Murmelstein, last president of the Theresienstadt Jewish Council, a fallen hero condemned to exile, who was forced to negotiate day after day from 1938 until the end of the war with Eichmann, to whose trial Murmelstein wasn't even called to testify. Even though he was without a doubt the one who knew the Nazi executioner best. More than twenty-five years after Shoah, Claude Lanzmann's new film reveals a little-known yet fundamental aspect of the Holocaust, and sheds light on the origins of the "Final Solution" like never before.

　　《红色木鸽》是莫瑞提首部在国际间获得票房斩获的影片。《红》片是描述一名共产党政要兼水球运动员米基磊，在车祸丧失记忆之后还硬被拖去参加水球比赛，而主角在比赛过程中所作的抉择，以及主角与他人甚或与自己的对话，则让影片在试图为意大利共产党重新定位的表象下（反映八十年代后期前苏联与东欧共党纷纷垮台所引发的政治认同危机），解构了共产主义、法西斯主义、资本主义以至天主教神权的诸多神话，成为当代意大利政局纷乱的“寓言"。同时，比赛进行间在游泳池畔还有影片《齐瓦哥医生》的电视播映，《齐》片的高潮甚至令众人围观而中断了比赛的进行。但当齐瓦哥猝死在广场上，那毫不知情、疾行离去的女主角既呼应着《甜蜜的梦》里非真实存在的女孩，更象征了政治理想的逝去与无回。        莫瑞提的头两部剧情长片《自给自足》与《Ecce Bombo》也成功为他塑造出了“分身"——米基磊·亚皮赛拉（Michele Apicella）。在1989年的《红色木鸽》（Palombella Rossa）之前，此角即持续出现在莫瑞提的片中，是个由莫瑞提亲自担纲、与周遭人常有隔阂、总陷入恋爱又带点自恋、同时不断寻求解答的行动派角色。

　　在智利的阿塔卡马沙漠，天文学家探寻宇宙以寻找生命的起源，不远处，当地的妇女正在沙丘中搜寻亲人的尸骸，他们是被皮诺切特独裁政权随意处置和杀害的。导演帕特里克·古兹曼将这两种关于生命的找寻并置在一起，引人深思。
　　这是一部在海拔3000米的Atacama沙漠拍摄的纪录片。天文学家聚集在那里观测群星。这个地方还因一个原因吸引了众多来访者：地表的干旱能使人类尸体完好无损。除了那些干尸和迷路的探险者的尸体，还有许多政治被关押在这片沙漠中而死去。影片强调了这样的两面性，将天文学家观测繁星寻找外星生命和那些支离破碎的家庭寻找亲人对比。所以影片的政治层面很清晰。
　　幕后制作
　　导演帕特里克·古兹曼的每一部影片都和20世纪智利国家的回忆有关：从他在1975年戛纳影展平行竞赛单元放映的《智利之战》三部曲开始，一直到在2004年非竞赛单元放映的《萨尔瓦多·阿兰德》。《故乡之光》也延续了这一主题，影片面向未来（群星），同时不忘为了赢得独立的代价和那段充满鲜血的痛苦的过去。
