　　民国初年，大珠宝商沈达先生无病暴亡，悲痛至极的沈少爷终日守候在父亲灵前。深夜，一把带着黑帖的匕首飞入沈府灵堂，帖上写着："沈少爷，断指团三日内来取人心！"第二天，沈府老管家请来函大侦探杜义甫和他的女儿石楠。第三天，在外埠上学的沈小姐赶回来奔丧。在父亲生前的朋友、商会孙会长的劝说下，沈少爷陪妹妹到墓地凭吊父亲，结果遭到匪徒的枪击。在医院，沈府上下围着"死去"的沈少爷恸哭不已，而孙会长却用充满怀疑的双眼死盯着沈少爷苍白的面孔。这一切都被化装成医护的杜义甫看在眼里，于是，他求助军界朋友王营长，以绑票形式将孙什么关押。几天之后，杜义甫从逐渐康复的沈少爷口中得到重要线索。原来，沈达先生有一颗稀世之宝--八窍珠。沈达死后，沈少爷不发现宝珠已被人偷换了，他意识到父亲的死定与宝珠有关，就把自己的怀疑告诉了孙会长，从此，灾难接二连三落在他头上。杜义甫断定这是二桩窃取国宝的大案，除断指团外，还可能牵扯到政界的一些大人物，最为可疑的是财政厅长吴锡仁。吴锡仁有至双胞胎儿子，弟弟安邦是个善良的大学生；哥哥定国却是个纨绔子弟。此时，继指团的人盯上了吴定国。杜义甫推断吴锡仁很可能就是那个暗害沈达，偷换宝珠的人。事实果然如此，吴定国携宝珠潜逃途中被断指团杀死，石楠又从断指团手中将宝珠夺了回来，令双方始料不及的是，这却是一颗假宝珠。断指团被激怒了，他们暗杀了孙会长，绑架了沈小姐，并将吴锡仁押进租界区G国商人鲁斯的住所。深夜，杜义甫潜入鲁斯卧室截走了八窍珠。然而这次行动却导致杜家被抄，沈少爷再次失去宝珠，石楠为救父亲身陷囹圄，杜义甫险些丧命。一个神秘的电话使大侦探再次抓住有利战机，从鲁斯手中夺回了八窍珠。在归家途中，杜义甫遇上了一位白发老人，原来他就是16年前被害入狱的断指团创始人崔毅，而石楠就是他的亲生女儿。案子终于了结了，可等待大侦探的却是一张通缉令。杜义甫毅然将那颗宝珠沉入深潭，告别了义女石楠，从此出家隐居。

　　A bit of color for once, all the better to see the red flags with, not to mention the obvious aerial file footage of Warsaw. The story concerns Jozef Malesa, the mason or bricklayer of the title. He was once the darling of the party, the son of two old party activists, a worker of heroic reputation, his own commitment to The Movement unquestioned. He was chosen to be destined for great things, specially educated and pushed forward to positions of responsibility in the Party. Eventually he decides, because of the ethical pressures which he feels from the obstructionism of the bureaucracy from above, he asks to return to be a simple bricklayer. He is disturbed with the way the Party deals with people, especially their lack of direct contact. He thinks workers know better than the leadership many times but that's not the way power flows. He is uncomfortable with the compromises to his idealism. He remains committed to social justice and joins his friends for the May Day rally where his comfort and confidence in his place in society cause him to defer to no man, certainly no rat faced men in overcoats with red armbands. His great pleasure in life moreover is laying brick. He finds the work satisfying and fulfilling which is why he was such an obviously superior worker in the first place.

　　Guy Maddin writes, "Tscherkassky has made two films cannibalizing Sidney J. Furie's 1982 Barbara Hershey horror film THE ENTITY, the story of a woman who is continually assaulted and raped either by real ghosts or by awfully adept repressed traumas… The screen literally explodes with a tumult of Hershey faces, shattering Steve Burum's original cinematography into shards of frightened eyes, trembling hands and violent outbursts of self-defense, presented in multiple exposures too layered to count, too arresting to ignore."

　　Heintje是西德电影《英俊少年》的主角，相信这部电影很多人熟悉，但谈到他的其它影片可能大家就陌生了。Ein Herz geht auf Reisen德语直译叫一颗上路的心，拍摄于1969年，但40年了，这部电影还未有过中文配音，相信是没有传到中国的。
　　片中Heintje（影片用的是他真名，英俊少年也是只是姓不同）是个孤儿，从开头他买完东西回到一所公寓的情景是为影片说明来由，那公寓不是他自己家，是他姨妈家而姨妈有了未婚夫后一心想跟他分开住。Heintje天天去马场看他喜欢的白马，与场主Alfred（英俊少年里演他父亲的演员）建立深厚感情，而Alfred有了女友后也疏忽了他还要去瑞士，所以Heintje被送到孤儿院。但他又从孤儿院逃出一路搭便车追随Alfred到了瑞士，Alfred被他深深感动还与女友分手了。Heintje搭的便车最后那个是一起走私团伙，在瑞士发现他后还绑架他，在警察等人帮助下，Heintje脱离危险，而Alfred也找到真爱，就是在德国认识的事务所的Hanna（英俊少年里演女律师的演员），他们决定结婚并收养Heintje。
　　Heintje在片中一路唱着好听的歌那歌声让人陶醉其中，Ich sing ein lied fur dich直译是我为你唱首歌，在片中出现多次，可以说是这部的主题曲了，他的金嗓子让人佩服，现实中的他就是以金嗓子赢得众人的欣赏，他的少年时代的歌有荷兰语、德语、英语三种语言，也是语言天才。

　　In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
　　As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
　　Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
　　The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
　　Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
　　The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
　　The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.

　　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。

　　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.
