回复 :剧情叙述一个神经质的作曲家Winslow Leach,他的作品被唱片公司制作人Swan窃用,并且使他遭受到毁容。于是他躲在制作人新开的天堂剧院中,戴着面具变成如同幽灵一般。作曲家本来想借着破坏行动来报复制作人,但当他发现一个新进女歌手Phoenix,能够完美地诠释他的作品,于是他同意制作人的合作要求,然后签下了古怪的血约,立誓完成一部以「浮士德」为主题的摇滚歌剧。没想到制作人竟然又欺骗他,另请了一位重摇滚歌手Beef来代唱,而且他慢慢地发现到制作人真正邪恶的真面目......
回复 :Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
回复 :本片导演是日本擅长拍摄武侠片及青楼暴力片的五社英雄,主角则启用了以大胆裸露见称的女星通口可南子,及性格型男星本木雅弘。故事在职业赌徒、黑社会匪徒、赌盘、复仇等之间展开,最后新仇旧恨都在押在瞬息万变的赌桌上了断。人间的成败得失,难道就如蒸腾的 热气,如幻似烟,转眼成空?杀人填命,又会否只会令罪孽更深更重?本片既有哀怨凄美的一面,又包含赌博较量、黑帮暴力等极富娱乐性元素;爱恨恩仇,共冶一炉,可谓雅俗共赏,是五社导演集大成的巅峰之作。
