北京三部曲 之二这个看似和谐的社会啊，当男男女女在一起的时候就会发生各种各样的故事，会产生各种各样的后果。其实本来我想这个片子最好还是能和“北京”这个概念有一点联系，后来实在是没找到一点联系。主人公说到了狗改不了吃屎这个概念，就把这个当片名了。狗是食欲的问题，这个片子是说人的下半身欲望。这里没有要拿下半身说事的意思，只要拿着下半身说事肯定是有目的的，也是没什么意思的。纪录片也是一泡屎，我乐此不疲的吃着

《我的糖》是张晖林继2006年《传冰》后的第二部影片，讲述的是年轻人之间微妙不可捉摸的情感故事。在北京一个暑期艺术学校里有两个小伙子海和王镜，他们是好朋友，共同爱好音乐。海有一个哥哥大龙在坐牢，而他在母亲裁缝店帮忙。在这个炎热的季节，他们与一个女孩糖Sugar相遇了，这是一个很不错的女孩，似乎比他们俩谁都成熟，有眼界。然而一切在原本天真，无邪的交往中变得复杂……
深夜渐渐黎明，女人们行走在冷清的街道还有桥梁。白天，她们是歌手和化妆师，电话响起，她们则是心照不宣的同谋，扮演者游戏，沉默或者饶舌。城市里延伸的高架桥承载着她们的孤独，这样的地点产生了一些暗示，让她们的真实关系也变得微妙起来。这个游戏很无味。这个游戏很冷。这个游戏很默契。夜幕里有电波，拨号声和占线声，人和人之间的联系，大部分时间，并不仅仅1+1这么纯粹，于是有梦境，有男人，有故事。有交织和出路。传冰是个游戏，但故事里的人跟这个游戏关联不多，《传冰》是部电影，它关于孤独、关于独立、也关于背叛。
Stranger than Paradise" (1984): Jim Jarmusch's first film. Often listed as a "comedy" – and yes, I suppose there ARE a few oddly funny moments – for the most part I find it an intensely bleak film, empty of almost all life but for a few lone cruiser characters who are detached from everyone else. The photography is astoundingly beautiful black & white. They are almost shot as individual stills with minor movements in them, and divided by blatant black divisions, which one can think of as the b...
Director, Jim Jarmush showed great form with this movie, but has done little of note since. This simple trio of stories set in a seedy Memphis hotel are linked by a single event and each one is introduced by the hotel concierge and bellboy. The acute realism of this film is its most notable achievement. The Japanese rock 'n' roll fans touring sites of rock history, the wealthy Italian lady forced to spend the night with a lush, and the three hapless crooks are so believable it is almost necessar...
I suppose people will typically talk about they loved the NY and Rome stories, but hated the Helsinki segment, or vice-versa, or whatever. This probably comes from thinking of the entire movie as belonging to a single genre--drama, comedy, satire. If you take each story by itself, though, with an open mind, you will find yourself being entertained (mostly) in five different ways. Although of course we will all have our favorites.
I wondered briefly why there wasn't a segment set in Hong Kong, ...
Between the years 1971 and 1977, Wim Wenders could do no wrong. Yet, even with his best films already on the screen, mainstream success eluded him until 1984, when his over- romanticized Paris, Texas (a fanboy-esquire ode to John Ford and the American landscape) established him as one of Cannes' most beloved filmmakers. Perhaps as a result of commercial success coming from his sappiest work to date, Wenders' chased a tangent that spiraled into career insignificance after 1993's Faraway, So Close...
Between commercial successes like Paris Texas and Angels over Berlin, Wenders still manages to make the kind of seemingly irrelevant road movies such as Santiago and State of Things, that have made him the cult hero he is. Here a cheesy scifi B-movie is interrupted at a climatic scene to follow people just hanging around talking. Which is more cinematic is a question that comes back over and over again. Actively pursuing a life, no matter how mundane or screwed up, seems to be more rewarding tha...
Until the End of the World" is a movie that has never gotten the recognition that it deserves. Occurring in 1999, when the Indian nuclear satellite has gone out of control (and no one knows where it's going to land), the movie focuses on Frenchwoman Claire Tourneur (Solveig Dommartin) following American Sam Farber (William Hurt) all over the world. Sam has a most ingenious device that enables his blind mother (Jeanne Moreau) to see, and some other people are trying to get their hands on it.
I s...
I just got to see this on video last night. It's a lovely film, and the protagonists are memorable. My one problem, however, is with Ry Cooder. Don't misunderstand my admiration for Cooder's past work. He's an original, often evocative guitarist and composer. I just felt that his additions to these recordings -- both in the studio and in their concert versions -- were intrusive at the least. That wailing slide guitar just about ruined some great songs. I'm surprised the gentlemen and ladies of t...
This film is deeply disappointing. Not only that Wenders only displays a very limited musical spectrum of Blues, it is his subjective and personal interest in parts of the music he brings on film that make watching and listening absolutely boring. The only highlight of the movie is the interview of a Swedish couple who were befriended with J.B. Lenoir and show their private video footage as well as tell stories. Wenders's introduction of the filmic topic starts off quite interestingly - alluding...
I really enjoyed this series overall, but on the "Red, White & Blues" piece, I was absolutely dismayed and disgusted to see Tom Jones (and hear him sing) portrayed as ANYONE who had ANYTHING to do with the blues movement. Why no George Harrison (this being the British related blues) and why so little of Keith Richards (among many other British blues artists omitted)? There was plenty of Clapton, Beck, Mayall and a few others that were and are truly blues-oriented guys. Mr. Figgis ruined this one...
119 minutes – that's a relatively long runtime for a movie. But that doesn't have to mean it'll be boring. The sparse dialog in this movie isn't really what it's all about anyway. It's all about the emotions and the amazing pictures.
Sam Shepard portrays his role so wonderfully that you can sense his frustration with his life and his search for some meaning and his longing to change his ways.
Eva Marie Saint is equally adept at her portrayal of the old western actor's mom.
Jessica Lange, th...
这七段分别讲述“愤怒、嫉妒、暴食、好色、懒惰、虚荣、吝啬”，以罗马尼亚戏剧大师欧仁·尤内斯库的《愤怒》最有创意：一个简单快乐的小镇、纳粹，假日里镇上所有的妇女都为丈夫做了一盘汤。但是每个回到家的男人都发现汤里有只苍蝇，于是与妻子大打出手，最后甚至发展成世界大战。德·普劳加的《暴食》、戈达尔的《懒惰》和查布洛尔的《吝啬》都有不错的表现和富有神采的故事，《暴食》说一家三口的农民去参加父亲的葬礼，父亲是因为暴饮暴食而过世的，但这个家庭却在一路上大吃大喝直到参加葬礼依然如此。戈达尔的《懒惰》则讲到一个男...
