I can see people will either love or hate this movie, depending on your own experiences and loves. Its basically about a incredibly obese police officer coming to terms with his own mortality (he is given a year to live at the start of the movie). It has other bits and pieces in the plot (love, mystery etc), but these are not the central ideal of the movie. I found myself crying in many parts of this movie, for myself being fat (and have been my entire life... of course not to the degree of the main actor, but to a degree which has caused bullying my entire life) this story hits very close to home. And some of the subtle emotional behind the scene's stuff here definitely adds to the mood. Anyone who has had any sort of eating disorder (over or under eating whatever) will recognise things in this movie, and will more then likely be in tears by the first 30 minutes of the movie.
改编自契诃夫的小说《La Mouette》,讲述年轻的女演员莉莉向一位名叫布里斯的名剧作家拜师学艺的故事。 在莫比汉海湾的小岛“僧侣岛”上,有一幢被称为“希望之屋”的小房子。在片中,莉莉是个为达目的不顾一切的新派演员。她为某种目的离开了新出道的导演于连,而投入以商业电影成名的布利斯的怀抱。而布利斯则抛弃了忠诚于他的女演员、于连的母亲玛铎。而于连则处于让娜·玛丽拼命的追求之中……在夏季的一个黄昏,于连、布利斯和玛铎、莉莉等围绕着艺术电影和商业电影之类的话题展开了一场唇枪舌战。其核心是两代人的电影观——并掺杂着爱情观——的分野和冲突。米勒就是通过这样一个场景,来深挖人与人之间有关爱情和艺术的种种痛苦和折磨。
雖然阿倫雷奈早有向舞台取經的前科,也不是第一次要演員在鏡頭前劈大喉嚨高歌,《嚴禁嘴對嘴》卻是無心插柳的意外:只因籌備中的影片阻滯重重,他一不做二不休,乾脆另起爐灶打開法國二十年代輕歌劇的寶庫找題材,發掘了一齣鮮為人知的流線型香艷錯摸喜劇。大戰剛剛結束,慶幸生還的蟻民瘋狂寄情於食色性,歌台舞榭空前蓬勃,打情罵俏言不及義的娛樂大受歡迎。三對鴛鴦一間房追追逐逐,說穿了不過是甜蜜蜜的棉花糖,然而這種華麗繽紛,提供了窩心的現世安慰──要是不飽暖,不會大赤赤思淫慾。左擁愛將莎賓雅絲瑪和彼爾艾第堤,右抱下凡天使柯德莉塔圖,雷奈粉雕玉砌的飲食男女見聞錄是他近年最得心應手之作,把欲擒故縱的藝術發揮得淋漓盡致。
