美国海军海之虎号潜艇即将退役,海军少将雪曼早早地来到潜艇上,翻看航海日志。看着自己当年的记录,昔日情景仍历历在目。将军思绪万千,浮想联翩……. 太平洋战争初期,美国海军在东南亚步步退守。海之虎号潜艇在港口几乎被日军飞机炸沉,雪曼艇长(卡里·格兰特饰)的任务是在两周之内完成平时需要两个月才能做完的事——把完全失去航行和战斗能力的海之虎号修好并撤退,但时局艰难,海之虎号连最起码的补给都很难弄到。海军上尉霍顿前来报到,此人无论穿着打扮或言谈举止,都象个十足的纨绔子弟,而且有关潜艇专业的知识他一概不懂,雪曼艇长觉得自己又多了一重麻烦。 霍顿上尉主动请缨之下,当上了海之虎号的军需官。谁知这正是最能发挥他长才的职位。他妥为运筹,使海之虎号的军需补给呈现一派欣欣向荣的景象,很快就拔锚起航了,而基地指挥官则忙着追查搬空基地仓库及他本人办公室的窃贼。 霍顿...
In Uruguay, they don't say cheese in front of the camera - they say whisky. Beneath the artificially photographed smiles, however, is a blueprint for the "South American Gothic," minus the farm and the forks. These Montevidean folks' stony expressions belie a life gripped frozen by accustomed routines. So it goes with an old Jewish bachelor who owns an ageing sock factory. When his estranged younger brother decides to visit for their mother's burial, he asks his employee Marta to pose as his wife. The resulting encounter creates clumsy silences that are uncomfortably comic. Grand Prize, Tokyo Film Festival and FIPRESCI prize from Cannes. 這一代的年輕人真係好老成好cool,兩個新導演還不到三十,便已拍出型到飛起黑色到痺的老人寂寞晚境。話說襪廠老闆阿積孤家寡人,寂寞到死,一天飛來鴻雁,巴西的弟弟話來拜訪。他要表面風光,唯有求忠厚下屬瑪泰暫充老婆。兩個名字同樣叫孤獨的六十幾歲人忽然親近,彆扭得不在話下。口若懸河的巴西弟弟一出現,畫面調子大轉彎。三人海邊度假,瑪泰沉睡的神經率先波動,往後發生的事估都估唔到。郭利斯馬基式冷面幽默扭橋扭到熱帶南美,黑色照舊輕描淡寫功力同樣高超,另一種風情絕對原創。去年康城驚艷,連奪國際影評人獎及原創觀點大獎。 Source: 29th HKIFF (2005)
“An ordinary story, told in such an imaginary way. The Angel and The Devil, competing about Nikola, a twenty-and-something womanizing student of the world literature, a city's wise-guy whose cozy way of life is being roughly interrupted by impregnating Marina, a clumsy high school graduate at a party, who wants to keep the baby, while Nikola believes it's not necessary. Generations in Serbia knows to tell this film by heart, and I highly recommend it to anyone abroad because it's a great way of meeting and understanding Yugoslav pop culture.It also has an outstanding soundtrack. It's Srdjan Dragojevic's film-school graduation piece which shot him into instant fame."
