简介:In a confused welter of artistic licence, this is the classical music biopic which makes 'Song to Remember'look like a masterpiece. Bogarde succeeds in diminishing the reputation of the musical colossus who spanned European music for most of the 19th Century. The absurdities of the plot, the sequoia-like quality of the acting and the prevalence of historical,musical and linguistic anachronisms combine to elevate this offering to the status of an A1 turkey.How a pianist of the stature of Bolet came to be mixed up in this fiasco can only be guessed at. The characterisation of Liszt fails to convey even a minute impression of his magnetic personality and the overwhelming effect that he had on not only his audiences, but also his pianistic rivals.Clara Schumann herself said that 'we toil over that which Liszt reads at sight!' Whilst the emphasis seems to focus on his romantic prowess,rather than his status as the greatest pianist of the century or,arguably, of all time, one feels,nevertheless, that this was an opportunity lost.
简介:◎简介剧情:Simple, poetic legend, developing through the life and fate of a poor farming family during the period of five generations. Set in the 16th century. Based on the novel by Shichiro Fukazawa.幕后:1960年,木下惠介导演了根据深泽七郎原作改编的《笛吹川》。《笛吹川》是世界上第一部、恐怕也是最后一部使用奇怪摄影技术的影片。影片用黑白胶片拍摄完毕之后,仅对那些强调作品主题思想的镜头施彩着色。因此,它既不是彩色片,也不算黑白片。如果硬要把它归类的话,也许可以说它是部水彩影片,或者可以称作南画派电影。整个影片就象文人画一样,只有部分画面着有色彩……这种制片手法耗资甚巨,使松竹公司的资方颇为吃惊。嗣后,世界上任何影片都未使用此种手法。这部影片在摄制过程中还使用了当时尚处于实验阶段的叠影镜头,有时在摄影机上套装一个乳白色的镜头,用以拍摄特写。这一点,当时的观众可能没有注意到。但它确实生动地体现了天才木下惠介的意图。虽然《二十四只眼睛》、《女园》以及《欢乐悲伤几岁月》等影片也获得了社会上的好评,但它们都不是反映导演内心世界的作品。而只有《笛吹川》(原作者深泽七郎)才是一部彻底反映了木下惠介内心世界的影片;甚至可以说,这部影片就是木下惠介“人生观”的体现。

简介:IMDB简介:Dominique Marceau is on trial for the murder of Gilbert Tellier. The counsels duel relentlessly, elaborating explanations for why the pretty, idle and fickle girl killed the talented and ambitious conductor freshly graduated from the conservatory. Was it passion, vengeance, desperation, an accident? The acquaintances of Gilbert testify, as well as Dominique's former lovers, and her sister, Annie, the studious violin player engaged to Gilbert. The evidence they give progressively paints a more finely-shaded picture of the personalities of Dominique and Gilbert, and of their relationship, than the eloquent and convincing justifications of the counsels. Written by Eduardo Casais
简介:这是一部以营造气氛见长的经典恐怖片,讲述1630年一个女巫和她情人被她自己的兄弟杀死。两百年后,两人复活,向她兄弟的后代(其中有一个酷似女巫)复仇。跟多数意大利恐怖片一样,本片的故事并不特别,但哥特式的场景阴森难忘。故事灵感来自果戈里小说。女主角一人分饰两角,暗示善恶之间只有一线之隔,演绎起来的样子就像是神情恍惚的肯尼迪夫人。* * * * *众多恐怖电影迷们都以为他们的钟爱己在Universal、Hammer、Roger Corman和其他一些著名的恐怖电影制片室和生产商摄制的各类影片中得到了实现。其实只有当你到阳光灿烂的意大利对满布阴霾的意国电影走走看看时,你才算真正经历了经典的恐怖电影。Black Sunday (1960) 又名 The Mask of Satan:意大利电影制作者再次着手恐怖电影的拍摄已经是四年以后了,在Renato Polselli同样受欢迎的《The Vampire and the Ballerina》(1960)之后,摄影师Mario Bava首次作为导演浮出水面,创作了一部代表性的恐怖电影,这宣告恐怖电影作为一种电影类型从此诞生。The Mask of Satan是真正意义上的恐怖电影代表作,故事大致源于果戈里的《the Viy》,它讲述一个处死二百年后的巫婆复活人世开始报复当初处死她的人们的后代,然而这个故事相对于Bava那几乎要跳出屏幕般的特殊视觉效果而言稍显次要,他的构图如此复杂,以至于影片的每一帧都可以被放大并挂在墙上,光与影的强烈对比营造出有什于Universal公司早期作品的恐怖效果,Bava创造出一出惊心动魄的神怪故事,充斥了巫婆、幽灵、秘密通道、凄叫的野狗、恶毒的公车司机甚至包括对着路人张牙舞爪的树枝。每一位看完此片的恐怖电影迷都着实大开眼界。这部影片在意大利取得成功并预示着Bava执导生涯的开始,它在美国经过删改后冠以《黑色星期天》(Black Sunday),同样大受欢迎。虽说它经过了修改,但基本上还是保证了原作的汁味,并一着被能在首映时有幸一睹的美国电影迷们津津乐道难以忘怀。影片取得成功的一大功劳归于片中的影星Barbara Steele,这部作品标志着Barbara Steele演艺生涯的发韧,之后她又在九部义大利恐怖电影中担纲主演,每一部都因她的表现而亮色。她那阴暗的造型、冷淡的情欲使她自然而然地适演恐怖片,由她演出的多数电影取得成功都与她的表现密不可分,她的另外几部意大利恐怖电影为:《The Horrible Dr. Hichcock》( 1962)、《The Ghost》(1963)、《Long Hair of Death》(1964)、《 Castle of Blood》(1964)、《Nightmare Castle》(1965)和《She-Beast》 (1965)、 《Terror Creatures from the Grave》(1966)、《An Angel for Satan》(1966)。
简介:1960年捷克卡罗维发利国际电影节最佳导演水晶球奖。Originally titled Seryozha, the Russian A Summer to Remember was co-adapted by Vera Panova from her own short story. War and Peace director Sergei Bondarchuk plays the new stepfather of young Seryozha (Borya Barkhatov). So close do the stepfather and the boy become in the months following their meeting that, when time comes for the boy to move on in life, he refuses to leave his new dad's side. Their summer idyll takes place on a Soviet collective farm, managed by Bondarchuk and depicted by novice filmmakers Georgiy Daneliya and Igor Talankin in the most glowing and apolitical of terms. Though there isn't much to the plot, the film admirably succeeds as a sort of cinematic tone poem.From All Movie Guide: Russian filmmaker Georgi Daneliya ranks among his country's most popular directors of satirical comedies. The Georgia-born Daneliya comes from a distinguished family of film performers; his grandmother, Veriko Andzhaparidze, was a famed Georgian silent film actress, his cousin, Sofiko Chiaureli, is also a major actress, and his mother, Meri Andzhaparidze, spent more than a decade at Mosfilm Studios. However, he first chose to train as an architect (perhaps out of respect for his father, an engineer). Following his graduation in 1955, Daneliya worked only briefly in that field when he decided he'd rather be in films, enrolling in Mosfilm Studios' Directors' Courses in 1958. In 1960, Daneliya co-directed Seryozha/A Summer to Remember with Igor Talankin. Two years later, he made his solo directorial debut, Put K Prichalu/The Way to the Wharf (1962). His 1969 comedy Ne Goryuy!/Don't Worry! successfully blended humor and melancholy, a device that would become Daneliya's trademark. In addition to directing, Daneliya co-authors the scripts for his films and occasionally works on screenplays for other directors. Daneliya has won numerous national and international awards for his work. In 1964, his Ya Shagayu po Moskve/I Walk Around Moscow received an honorable mention at the Cannes Film Festival, while in 1975 Afonya received a special award at the All Union Festival, a major U.S.S.R. event. Daneliya's biggest hit in the U.S.S.R., Mimino (1977), earned the special prize at the Moscow International Film Festival and the U.S.S.R. State Prize. In 1991, Daneliya earned the Nika Award (the Russian equivalent to an Oscar) for Best Screenplay for Pasport (1990).
