这是发生在北京一个家庭内的真实故事，父亲的长年酗酒导致了这个家庭处于崩溃的边缘。母亲不得不利用业余时间外出教学，以补家用。她竭尽全力维护家庭的完整，但最终失去信心。对两个儿子来说，他们的父亲明显没有给他们做出什么好榜样，而他们对未来盲目的追求也使他们屡受挫折。剧中的主要演员均由故事中的原型扮演。
本片是一部纪录片。张元和纪录片导演段锦川联合拍摄了《广场》，影片对天安门广场进行了不动声色和充满幽默的关照。此时的天安门广场已经是一个散步者、情侣、士兵、小学生和游人出入的场所。民警站岗，旅游者拍照，观看升降国旗，人们在广场放风筝，锻炼身体等，一些生活细碎的影像被纪录下来，从一个独特的视角来观察这个具有政治象征的核心地带。
用剧中人自己的话说，这部影片展现了一群“由着性子活的那种人，都是社会的异己分子。”他（她）们是摇滚乐手、画家、艺术院校的学生、混在北京的浪子。
摇滚乐手们（崔健、窦唯饰）为他们热爱的音乐而奔波，没钱买乐器，到处被赶着搬家，甚至住到建筑工地上；乐手之一的卡子四处寻找已怀孕的女友，自己沉泯于混乱的两性关系中，精神上承受着折磨；大庆的钱被骗，自己也欠了朋友的钱，到处追债和被追债。而他的朋友们也困顿窘迫，黄耶鲁被人瞧不起，酒后还让胖子（臧天朔饰）打了一顿，沮丧失落。周明没什么可靠收入和正经事做，老婆...
If you're expecting a coherent story line from more than thirteen different movies from thirteen disparate directors commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of Lech Walesa's trade union in Poland (which pretty much signaled the end of Polish Communism) in a collection of shorts, you shouldn't even consider this collection.
These are mostly well-done, yet varied short pieces. The gamut is run from rap pieces to straight documentaries to retrospective, historical shorts to tongue-in-cheek exam...
Katyn/ / Andrzej Wajda
This is not an average Oscar nominated Hollywood movie. There are few movies that are able to expose abyss of human nature, the darkest one in this case. It is not the most gruesome scenes, as one who knows the historical facts may expect to see, create emotional terror. Wajda masterfully leads the viewer deeply into reflections on how horrible humanity can become. There is little hope to change the course of the past, and yet when watching the film, one may catch himself hoping for a miracle of...

What a surprise, and what fun! Although I remember seeing promotional shots of this movie back in the 70s, hearing no more about it, I eventually decided it must never have been made. But, here it is in all its craziness. The beginning is rather edgy as the delectable, Sydne Rome is almost gang raped before the action swings into slapstick and she escapes, albeit with ripped t-shirt. This is as fully dressed as she ever is in this ending up fully nude and leaving the madhouse as quickly as she e...
One day the fabulously wealthy Sir Guy Grand who is Peter Sellers with a much larger nose finds a young orphan kid in a park. On the spur of the moment he adopts young Ringo Starr, probably because Ringo has a well known honker in real life and Sellers sees something of himself in Ringo.
The idea is that Sellers has to have someone not just to leave his money to, but someone to impart his accumulated wisdom of the years which is boiled up into one single thought; that EVERYBODY has his price.

This was a very fun film to watch and Polanski uses a lot of camera tricks to make this a visually interesting film. I heard that this was considered "Funny and Sexy" and it is very humorous but I can't consider it that sexy. He gets Sharon Tate in a film and she takes like three bath's but nothing else happens. No hiding behind a towel or anything. This definitely should have been a much more sexy film. Former boxing champion Terry Downes plays the hunchback and the scene towards the end when h...
Disturbing, harrowing tale of one girls' (Catherine Deneuve) descent into madness.
Catherine Deneuve's performance is fantastic--she plays it just right. Quite an accomplishment considering she was only 22 at the time! Roman Polanski's direction, beautiful black and white photography and effective use of sound really helps the film. Ahead of it's time.
Some people have complained about being bored by this film...I'm assuming they're watching in on TV. It's true--the film doesn't play as well o...
Knife in the Water (1962), Polanski's feature debut, made when he was twenty-nine, is a tense overnight sailing trip taken by a man with his pretty younger wife and a handsome young drifter they find hitchhiking on their drive to the boat. The action is claustrophobic and fraught with menace – the two men are in conflict from the moment they first meet – and a cool jazz score gives the film an edgy contemporary air. The young man carries a long knife of the switch-blade type. Does the old rule...
Samson/ / Andrzej Wajda
We saw the 1961 film "Samson" by Andrzej Wajda on Saturday. This was a black and white movie in Polish with English subtitles. There were a few instances in which the dialog did not have subtitles. This was limited to a few lines here and there. This movie was set in Warsaw and the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. It was much like "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski (2002). The lead actor even looked like Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody) of "The Pianist."
"Samson" is the story of a Jew, Jakub Go...
don't know what the guy before me is talking about, perhaps some other movie.. what yeti? what destruction??
yeti escaped from a packet it was transported in an now is lost somewhere in warsaw. a professor together with his pal - a prisoner are looking for the poor creature, but difficulties a la monty python are mushrooming in front of them. worth seeing, definitely. if you want you can get it :)
very specific polish sense of humor, not easily understandable by non-poles. and, unfortunately,...
may surprise those who know him best from Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist that several of Roman Polanski's early short features took the form of silent comedies, reminiscent of Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and Jacques Tati. The main difference to traditional silent comedies was that Polanski's were wacky and surreal, but not very funny. This is the exception.
The Fat Man and the Thin Man (or The Fat and the Lean; there are several English translations) is one of a small number o...
This was the first 'mainland European' film I saw as a teenager in the early 60s. I saw it on late-night television and it knocked me out. Later on I saw Wajda's 'Generation' trilogy and could barely believe that this was the same director. I have subsequently seen it on the big screen a couple of times and it remains a favourite from its era. The reason was simply that the creative force behind 'Innocent Sorcerers' is not Wajda but Jerzy Skolimowski.
You only need to take a look at 'Walkover' ...
