视频简介
本片是根据畅销书改编而成的。詹妮弗·康纳利在片中扮演一位对自己的婚姻感到非常厌倦的已婚妇女，布莱德利·库珀扮演她的丈夫，同时与另外一个女人纠缠不清。几个人的故事交错重叠，让人感叹人类行为的虚伪性：你真的了解你的男人吗？也许他满口甜言蜜语，但其实他并没有那么喜欢你！也许他和你约会，也打电话跟你聊天，但其实他并没有那么喜欢你！也许他和你每次见面都上床，但其实并没有那么喜欢你……。根据美国西部顶尖赛马手弗兰克·霍普金斯(Frank T. Hopkins)的真实经历改编而成，是一部充满着动作冒险与个人救赎的史诗巨作。 数个世纪以来每年举办的“火的海洋”(Ocean of Fire)是一项极其艰苦的耐力赛马竞技，3000英里的征程即使在平素地域尚且困难重重，何况选择了酷热郁闷而冷酷无情的阿拉伯沙漠，而且参赛赛马必须是由阿拉伯世界中最纯种、最高贵，由最尊贵的皇室家族拥有的赛马组成，但在公元1890年，这一根深蒂固的世俗被彻底的击碎了。 美国人弗兰克·霍普金斯(维果·莫天森饰)曾经是美国骑兵部队一名骁勇善战骑术高绝的骑士。国际知名人士的声望除了弗兰克凭借自身不懈努力以外，得力坐骑“海德尔格”(Hidalgo)的鼎立辅助同样是功不可没。如是背景下的1890年，弗兰克首次受邀带着“海德尔格”共同参加这项悲壮的沙漠耐力竞技，一人一马要面对...。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
