故事写的是在一个临海的小渔村,一个老妇人被病魔夺去了生命。这一来,原本非常平静的小渔村立刻起了变化,汇拢来的女眷们簇拥着遗体,毫无忌惮地放声痛哭。不久,吊唁的客人和村民纷纷沓至。亡人是个著名作家的母亲,所以也惊动了中央及地方的要员。时光流逝,夜入三更,人们举杯落盏之余,有的已是横躺竖卧,烂醉如泥。但也有人或醉心赌牌,或大嚷大叫,或出拳动手打骂起来。丧家乱哄哄的,一片狼藉。天亮了,送葬的时刻到了。人们抬着棺舆,排着队列,唱着挽歌,向墓地进发。下葬结束后,回到丧家的人们,将死者的遗像安放在灵堂,最后照纪念照。大家神情凝重,照相人的一句玩笑,才把大家逗得笑了起来。活动结束了,小小的渔村又恢复了往日的平静。

Summary Bullied by his matriarchal mother, abused by his siblings, ignored by his father, Poil de Carotte's childhood is as miserable as it could be. An illegitimate child, he is the main reason for the enmity which exists between his parents, who continue to live together just to keep up appearances. In the end, Poil de Carotte's suffering becomes more than he can bear... Review Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte. The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944. Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance. The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.
每隔十二年,喜马拉雅山脚下的森林裡,挑选出来的人们戴上面具,隐藏性别,放下世俗身分,彷彿死去般的过著为期两週、与世隔绝的奇异戒律生活。在等待的日子裡,歌声无尽,舞不停歇,有人静心修炼,也有放不下尘俗的人打探彼此底细、无法抵抗原始的欲念。这是真实与虚假的界线,生与死的空隙,面具拿下即是毁灭。 以《高山上的世界盃》一鸣惊人的不丹导演钦哲诺布,将修行求道转化为现代乡野奇谭,融合传说、禅语故事、舞台演出、梵唱琴颂等多重艺术形式,展开另一场悉达多的探索之旅。人性与神性的拉扯中,吟唱出千古不变的生命之歌。周迅、梁朝伟添画龙点睛的客串演出,更添意趣。 「有时,我们必须创造幻象,才能让世人看见真理」──钦哲诺布
Mari (Marina Vlady) runs a boardinghouse for girls who are in trouble, and Juli (Lili Monori) is a young married woman who is fleeing her passionate marriage with an uncontrollable alcoholic. She has brought her young daughter along with her. Though this is not allowed under the house rules, Mari makes an exception for Juli. Both women are desperately unfulfilled - Mari has a narrow-minded and passionless man for a husband, and Juli still loves her husband, whom she recognizes as a person she cannot continue living with. The two turn to each other for comfort, and each woman gains necessary insights into her own life in seeing the other's struggles. This sober movie by feminist director Marta Meszaros was not a rousing box-office success.
