简介：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.

简介：改编自卡夫卡未完成的长篇小说《美国》，但其关注的并非真实的美国，更像是没有详细年代的关于美国的寓言。卡尔•罗斯曼由于丑闻而接受其舅舅的邀请搬去美国，然而他无法摆脱欧洲大陆旧式习惯，更糟的是，欧洲的阶级结构无法让他通过自己的双手谋生。这一电影版关注资本主义社会创造的残酷而变幻莫测的阶级关系。同时忠于原著而未添加影片的结局。施特劳布夫妇风格的一贯操作与卡夫卡氛围的完美结合：中景固定机位，面无表情的演员，人物肢体和语言刻意僵硬，强调侧面特写，镜头推进及平移刻意突兀。由此我们可以寻求到改编卡夫卡作品的带实验性的可能。

简介：A massive earthquake strikes the United States, which destroys the West Coast and unleashes a massive flood that threatens to destroy the East Coast as well.　　If you're wondering about this film and why it's dubbed in Italian, then read the following comment from IMDb　　I have always wondered about the disappearance of Deluge. Why for so many years, seemingly since it's release in 1933, this film vanished from the face of the earth. After seeing it, courtesy of the efforts of Mr. Wade Williams Co., I'm still puzzled, but I have a theory. In 1933, the code was enacted that pretty much took care of sex and violence in Hollywood. While not an explicit film by any means, Deluge does deal fairly frankly with sexuality, lust and rape. I wonder if RKO discovered they had a film that they could not re-release, much like the fabled lost Warner Bros. comedy Convention City. It's a shame for, while it is a dated film, I find it quite unique and surprising for it's era and a fairly successful attempt to create something different in an era when films were already becoming cookie cutter by-products of the studio machine (not that many of those cookies aren't tasty, mind you). And even though the only available copy at this writing is dubbed into Italian, I don't find that a hinderance. An excellent job was done in subtitling the film, and much of the film is visual anyway.

简介：Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto there's no place like home is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage there's no sex like marital sex. Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the fairy godmother who speaks the last words in the movie.

简介：1967年6月5日，以色列出其不意对周边阿拉伯国家发动第三次中东战争，并在六天内赢得胜利。在埃及宣布战争失败后，几名缺水缺粮的埃及士兵想穿越已被以色列占领的西奈沙漠到苏伊士，回到和平地区。　　本片是作品寥寥的以色列导演Rafi Bukai的处女作，他从几名埃及士兵的视角来表现这部“人道主义的，反战的，无关政治的”作品。　　本片在1986年瑞士洛迦洛电影节上获得了一个奖，同年代表以色列角逐奥斯卡最佳外语片。

简介：一九五八年的《开罗车站》（Cairo Station）是夏因其中一部早期经典，不过该片比时代先行，上映时被观众喝倒釆，同时也因对性及社会问题的描写而被禁足足有十二年。后来重见天日，广泛被推崇为最重要的阿拉伯电影之一。　　夏因上阵自导自演，演活了一个卖报卫生的开罗小男人。化身成埃及版差利，闲时喜欢将杂质上的美女照片剪下来贴满他的车站小屋内，又爱上了在附近买柠檬水的惹火尤物。但通俗剧的形式，最终以小男人死于非命的反通俗剧结束，而他眼中的神圣不可侵犯的惹火尤物只不过是另一个男人的财物。　　《开罗车站》被评为最先将新写实主义引进歌舞片充斥的埃及电影世界的作品。导演对埃及的性别政治以及不优良传统的关注和批判，已在此片尽露端倪。

简介：2001年戛纳电影节影评人周单元最佳影片奖　　2001年东京国际电影节最佳导演奖、评审团奖　　神学院学生赛耶德·哈桑即将升职做牧师，偏偏在就职典礼之前他的礼服被一个小男孩偷去了。于是他追踪到一个边远的郊区，那里的居民生活贫苦，从未见过牧师，对此知之甚少。最后，赛耶德学会了重要的一课：在宗教教义与艰难的生活现实生活存在着鸿沟，而这样的差异需要用情感去填补。雷萨-米尔卡瑞米导演在东京国际电影节致词时特别强调，他想告诉大家其实伊斯兰教是很爱好和平的宗教，而且也反对恐怖主义，并不是一种带暴力色彩的宗教。　　与我们同根同种的亚洲人拍的这片子里，处处使我觉得亲切熟稔。年轻人憨憨而不知所措的表情、学校长者官腔却不乏真情的训导、暗淡而陈旧的店铺、城市角落里最卑微的人群、缓慢的生活，这一切都像是我们自己在成长路上所经历所看见过的。　　他们多诚实，伊朗的贫困与落后历历地显现出来。可我敢说，这片子能打动的绝不止我一个人，也不止我们这些亚洲人。描绘贫穷而非展示贫穷，坦陈伤口而非哀矜伤口，伊朗的导演实在胜过我们某些所谓著名导演太多。

简介：The issue of War widow representation in Israeli cinema is one of the most complex for the local industry for it seems to be unique and with a very local and specific iconography.　　The war Widow is a difficult character to digest. Because this is an especially painful topic in Israel, its mode of representation is almost always problematic.　　Gila Almagor in Tofano's siege is one of the first characters of the modern war widows to appear on Israeli cinema screens.　　The human and social complexity of the status of widows was not represented adequately and personally until her complex and fine appearance in this film.　　It was mostly Preceded by cliches of heroic women who have sacrificed for the nation with characters to which it was very difficult to get attached, nor to their personal grief.　　Siege was directed by an unknown Italian director of that period. Although Gilberto Tofano was brought as a professional director on the wings of inspiration made by the French New Wave of those years, he managed to turn out a very exciting work which has caught the Israeli warmth and sense of social siege which surrounds the Israeli widows, including the great expectations from them and the social stigmas.　　Tofano wrapped his leading lady with lots of warmth and gave a place of honor to Almagor's impressive presence in the film.　　This is without a doubt one of Almagor's best and most accurate performances. The restraint in her performance plus the shooting and expressive use of angles by Tofano and his soft European touch which was far off from the aggressive local product managed to produce a sense of documenting an authentic tragedy with a tangible personal touch that minimized the national dimension. The result stands the test of time proudly several decades after its creation.
