在新几那亚有一个岛上，因为化学工厂实验的关係，造成厂内死老鼠复活，并在咬伤工作人员后，造成该实验大楼变成僵尸横行。4个SWAT队员，集体到新几内亚调查案发经过，到一个小镇后，碰到一群採访事故原因的记者，结果他们当中，有一个小孩被殭尸咬了一口，小孩在车上躺在他父亲怀裡休息时，有人开车门发现，小孩已变成僵尸，正在吃他父亲内臟；在教堂内，也发现神父已变僵尸；他们到达当地土著部落时，也发生僵尸吃土著的事件。经过一连串的逃命后，最后他们来到那栋实验大楼，终于发现是实验事故毒气外洩结果导造成僵尸，最后当然是包括男女主角在内都未能倖免于难。 本片导演Bruno Mattei在幕后花絮中说，本片参杂了《Dawn of the Dead》的一些影子，比方殭尸出现时总是一大群，还有要打头才会死。场景主要是在丛林与部落跟工厂。本片中一开头即说明造成殭尸的原因。另外本片虽然场景是在新几内亚，但一看就知道部份是合成的。应该是在欧洲拍摄的。还有这位导演原来还导了Rats(1984)以及参与Zombi3约40%的制作。本片血腥度十足，虽然现在看起来会觉得有点假，但在现在看时还是会觉得十分过癮。喜欢殭尸片又带点腥膻色的人，可以考虑一看。 ======================================================== 一场意外发生于位在新几内亚丛林裡的一座化学工厂，外洩的化学毒物导致死尸复活，复活的死尸群起攻击丛林裡的原始部落居民。一组记者巧遇另一组武装特勤部队，两队人马在丛林中与遭遇部落民族，并于设法于僵尸群中逃出生路。 超恶搞的片子，列举数个恶搞例子： 制作群不知从何搞来近似国家地理频道纪录片片段，新几内亚丛林裡的野生动物与原始部落生活就这麼活生生又突兀地剪辑入这部殭尸电影。一群特勤人员其实只是开著吉普车在西班牙乡间小径游荡，只因剪接许多野生动物纪录片入戏，感觉好像身处新几内亚丛林。不过，其实剪接得挺粗糙地。 整组人马路过一丛林部落，女主角一脸正经得跳出来说：”部落民族生性危险而不可测，姐姐有经验，要安全通过只有一个方法，我必须走在前面，单独地在前面…”。接著，冷不防，他就毫不迟疑的脱下上衣，露出美丽双峰。又接著，看到姐姐脸画成土著迷彩，只穿著树叶比基尼，又走又跳地引领整组人马通过部落。从没看过如此彻底的为脱而脱，真是够无厘头。 某特勤队员在一丛林小屋中穿起芭雷舞衣，跳了一段模仿Gene Kelly的Singing in the Rain，接著旋即变成殭尸攻击的受害者。 号称是史上大滥片之一。完成拍摄只费时5週。 其实： 是不错看的电影，该有的殭尸电影元素全具备，举凡：殭尸小孩啃老爸，殭尸群分食受害人，受害伙伴回生加害同行伙伴，欲消灭殭尸必击毁头部…等等，一应俱全。 最血腥的一段昰： 女主角受害时，特写全在脸上，舌头先被殭尸群拔出，接著手在嘴裡往上猛掏，掏得两颗眼珠爆出，够血腥。 后记： 名人导演Quentin Tarantino 在某处发表欣赏此片的谈话，重新引发世人对此陈年旧片的注意。而此片导演Bruno Mattei，自己承认已有多年未再看过这电影，只得重新翻出片子再次恢复记忆，才能体会为何昆汀塔伦提诺会喜爱此片。 此片导演Bruno Mattei的另一名作是1984年的《Rats Night of Terror》。

The body of a schoolgirl is found in a meadow. The murderer is never caught, and years later; a young man named Stefano returns to the island and is reunited with his brother, the local priest

I am awestruck by this movie. Fast zombies that can use weapons, even guns, and are capable of intelligent thought. They plot a strategic offensive to take over the city, hitting the airport, then the TV stations and the power plant. If you love horror, gory, and violent movies and don't mind a little bad acting, then you will LOVE this movie. It is exciting and even a bit suspenseful. It starts out fast and hard and maintains a steady pace of mayhem and carnage.　　I can't believe more people haven't seen this film. I have yet to meet a horror movie buff that has seen this film before. It is a true gemstone of European horror and exploitation, definitely up to par with the classics of the genre such as Zombi 2, Demons, House by the Cemetery, etc. And it's even readily available uncut (92 minutes) on DVD from Anchor Bay (under the title Nightmare City) and on VHS under the title City of the Walking Dead. Super gory and violent, a must for fans of Italian grind house flicks.

荒凉的德文郡沿海索吉尔岛。十个陌生人被邀请到这座与世隔绝的小岛上做客，却没有任何一个人知道邀请者的庐山真面目。十人到达之后，只有一段神秘的录音记录响彻于耳。它揭穿了每一个人并不光彩的过去，这十个人都曾涉及过杀人案件。面对赤裸裸的指证，每一个人都惊慌失措。而更令众人惶恐不 安的是，他们正按着一首可怕童谣的歌词而逐一离奇死去。桌上的十个印第安小瓷像，正露出邪恶而诡异的笑容。　　本部悬疑惊悚影片《十个小黑人》改编自著名英国推理小说作家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的同名畅销小说。

This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off andor very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.　　Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.　　One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.

SUPERCOOL马其顿动作幻想片！　　sometimes i think it's a shame that movies like this one don't get the exposure that they deserve - that very few people will get to enjoy them... but sometimes, i think that the lack of exposure is what makes movies like this one - if indie was mainstream it wouldn't have been indie, would it... so, the best thing i could say about Zbogum na 20 vek is a that it's a great movie, but it's not for everyone. the story is rather controversial, the level of blood and gore on screen is rather high (it makes the US horror flicks from the '90s look like kindergarten cartoons) and the editing... well, it's so uneven, that it might induce vomiting... however, if you have the stomach to go over these things, chances are that you will love this film, because it is indeed full of heart. if you don't love it, watch it again... once you know what's happening in the movie it will be much easier for you to pick up all the small details that not only make the scenes look cooler, but also deeper (i have a theory that the whole movie could be seen through symbols only, but it's too long to write it down here)... none of my friends liked it at first, but after two or three viewings, they find it at least respectable if not outright brilliant... so, to cut things up, if you can find this movie, see it by all means. 9.510

This is a very bizarre fairy tale. It commences with a wedding and singing and dancing but nearly the whole village is wiped out by wolves. The bride gives birth to a daughter several months later and promises her to the boy who saved her.　　Ten years later there is another disruption when Some circus folk come by and the villagers trick them into staying. Tragedy ensues...　　This has a strange cast, dwarfs, giants, priests and occasional intrusions from the modern world in the form of the police and a wonderer who returns bringing to the village the good news of Nostradamus. It is a long film but it honestly does not drag. and if you get bored of the plot you can always look at the sumptuous Countryside.

政府采用了一种辐射灭虫器用来消灭农田里的害虫，但却引起了可怕的后果。杀虫器所放射出的有害物质使附近的死人复活，并将他们变成了饥饿的丧尸。然而正在农场附近的约翰和安娜两个人不幸被丧尸袭击，后在警员的帮助下才得以逃脱，可警员却葬身尸腹。于是约翰被警方怀疑涉嫌谋杀而遭到拘捕，安娜则被送往医院中。由于病毒不断的扩散，致使医院里的死人纷纷爬起袭击活人，约翰得知消息后不顾一切逃出警局，但他还能赶得及去拯救安娜吗……　　这是一部由意大利与西班牙影业联合监制的七十年代恐怖杰作，被广大恐怖影迷奉为经典的作品，也是七十年代最卖座的丧尸电影，影片拍摄的时尚大气，丝毫没有拘束感。片子虽然被指模仿了罗梅罗的，但在某些创意上却有着天差地壤之别。在开场几分钟的时间里，导演就把社会的灰暗面表露无疑，然后笔锋一转，便开始了紧张的剧情。片中的丧尸首次被赋予了智慧，其男女主角也有相当的悲情色彩等，有许多情节被后来的一些丧尸片竞相模仿，甚至使其成为了一部里程碑式的作品。

Bill Kiowa (Montgomery Ford) is released after a five-year prison term for a crime he did not commit. The bandit El Fego (Tatsuya Nakadai), who did the actual crime, also killed Kiowa's young Native American wife. Once free, Kiowa raises a gang to go after the man who framed him. An Italian western in the A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS mold with a better than average cast, which includes Bud Spencer in the debut of his heavy-handed character (later made famous in the TRINITY series) and the outstanding Japanese actor Tatsuya Nakadai, famous for his role in Akira Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA. Written by horror-meister Dario Argento and presented here in the English-language version (which, considering it was filmed MOS with an international cast, is nearly as original dialogue as its Italian-language counterpart).

改编自叔叔杰西·祖拉斯基(Jerzy Zulawski)的科幻小说杰作《月球三部曲》，故事描述人类逃离毁灭的地球，飞船坠落在银色星球上，不久后有人开始在星球上进行造神运动，然信徒分化后一派奉此外来政权为神，另一派则视之为魔，人性贪婪的劣根性，在这星球上暴露的一览无遗……　　本片被誉为是“一部拍给另一个世界的人看的电影”。影评人一致推崇这部片是导演安德烈·祖拉斯基电影生涯中，最具史观、野心勃勃且兼具后现代主义的科幻哲思电影，也是他重回故乡波兰拍摄的归乡代表作。　　这部充满争议的杰作，安德烈以非常风格化又带着原始情欲的方式，传达其所钟爱的命题：一则后现代主义式的寓言。故事的结局，地球人不但改变原本的内在，连外在也慢慢变成介于人与鸟的中间物种。这种由内而外，进而转化成另一物种的隐喻，也为这部犹如政治寓言的科幻史诗，更添加了奇幻色彩。　　1977年当影片拍好八成时，新上任的波兰文化助理大臣禁止此片拍摄，并下令销毁场景、布置和服装，直到1986年波兰民主化，本片才跟着其它禁片出土。本片同时也发掘了戛纳影后克里斯提娜·杨达的潜能，拍摄这部处女作不久，她成为基耶斯洛夫斯基及瓦伊达最喜爱的女演员，也成为波兰的国民影后。

Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey.　　In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.　　The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.

The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

《通向行星路》的制作期长达三年，它是一部雄心勃勃的意识形态电影，包含着极具开创性的特效和精湛的手工模型作品。这部影片对库布里克《2001太空漫游》（2001：A Space Odyssey，1969）中对失重状态、灼热的星球和旋转式的太空站模型的在现实主义描写有着重要影响。　　Klushantsev的《通向行星路》捕捉到了太空竞争的时代思潮。按照莫斯科电影官僚的指示，他在影片中增加了苏联第一个绕地卫星的模型。结果，这部五十分钟电影在苏联激起了观众的恐慌。据报道，电影片段在美国电视播放时，有些观众恐慌得晕厥过去。　　这使得他随后的影片也是他唯一一部标准长片——1962年的《暴风雨之星》让人有点失望。这部影片是这一时期苏联科幻电影知名度较高的一部，故事由一队到金星探索的苏联航天员展开，队伍中有四个男人，一个女孩，还有一个笨重的机器人（这个机器人很明显是效仿了米高梅影片《禁忌星球》（Forbidden Planet，1956）中的机器人角色）。当两个宇宙飞船被流星摧毁时，这一队人被迫在星球表面下降着陆。他们一着陆就遇到恶毒的蜥蜴人，掠夺性的翼龙和食人的植物，而最后，他们得以逃离，回到太空中。

Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.

In a dream Uncle Jack looks through a magic telescope owned by the ghost of a hermit and sees what life was like millions of years ago, including a battle between prehistoric monsters.

米哈伊尔·阿法纳西耶维奇·布尔加科夫1891年生于基辅，1940年逝世于莫斯科。世界文坛称他是一位思想深邃、以大无畏精神向一切邪恶挑战的文学大师。其代表作《狗心》、《白卫军》、《大师和玛格丽特》等曾被苏联当局查禁没收，或“默杀”。作家死后恢复名誉、苏联文坛两度掀起“布尔加科夫热”。现在他的作品进入现代经典之列，被誉为20世纪最伟大的文学珍品之一。　　《狗心》作于一九二五年初，在文学圈子里获得一致好评，人们发现它确实尖锐地抨击了现实，但它抨击的是现实中的粗野、愚昧和荒廖。小说写一条狗因为做了人的脑垂体移植手术，突然成了有人外表的流氓，致使流氓习气随着脑垂体分泌的激素，渗入了取名沙里科夫的实验室怪物的每个细胞。沙里科夫的可怕不公在于他身上那些流氓无产者的劣性，并且在于他对社会主义的庸俗化.表面上看来，《狗心》很像一个科幻故事，但是实际上却有着反乌托邦小说的关于哲理和社会的深邃思考。　　国际知名的医生菲利普·普列奥布拉任斯基教授，为了进行改善人种的优生学试验，把一个刚刚死去的行窃的酒鬼的脑垂体和睾丸移到一只叫沙里克的狗身上。沙里克竟变成了“还处于最低发展阶段的”人——沙里科夫。　　这个能讲人言、衣食如人的衣冠禽兽，一天天显示出是一个怀着“一颗最为卑鄙龌龊的心”的败类：酗酒、偷窃、说谎、告密、无耻下流，直至栽脏陷害、用手枪威胁要强占教授的住宅。更有意味的是，这个狗“出身”的沙里科夫竟然被政府赏识而任命为莫斯科公共卫生局清除流窜动物科科长。他穿上了皮夹克(这是当时文学作品里革命者的形象模式)，出入有专车——尽管是卡车。幸而两位“造物主”普列奥布拉任斯基教授和博尔缅塔尔大夫及时用手术把沙里科夫还原为沙里克，才没酿成惨祸。　　在这篇小说里，布尔加科夫力究天人之际，思考着人与自然、人与社会的关系、人的能力限度以及人对于整个自然界的责任。实际上，布尔加科夫继续阐释着一个重大的主题：人不应该僭越，不应该觊觎全能的上帝的位置。这个上帝便是自然、社会的客观法则。试图超越社会、自然的进程，把科学变为破坏客观规律的迷信，狂热蛮干地“创造历史”，是不能不受到惩罚的。正如小说《不祥之蛋》中，佩尔西科夫教授虽然掌握了科学，却缺乏对人类社会的责任感，最后死于疯狂的群众的乱拳之下；而给人类社会带来可怖的厄运的洛克，急功近利而智力低下到根本谈不上什么责任感问题，却“带着官家的公文”，则是更为可怕的。　　而在《狗心》中，国际首屈一指的名医菲利普·普列奥布拉任斯基教授空前绝后的完美手术只能创造出险些置其于死地的社会败类。普列奥布拉任斯基教授经受了自作自受的“科学实验”之后，终于觉悟道：“看吧，如果一个研究者不是摸着大自然的脉搏，与之共进，而是想加速问题的解决，揭开那神秘的帷幕，那么，就给你个沙里科夫尝尝，还让你吃不了兜着走。”　　看来，人要充当上帝——造物主的角色，结果只能是对上帝的讽刺性模拟。干扰世界的客观进程最终只能落得搬起石头砸自己的脚的下场。

五个年轻人巴比、麦克、小桃、朱丽和玛格趁着假期开着小船出海游玩，却因为大意而被搁浅在海上，屋漏偏逢连夜雨的他们又遇上暴风雨，在大雨倾盆的情况下，他们找到了一艘并没有人的豪华游艇，以为找到了桃花源，在里面饮酒作乐，没想到可怕的危险就隐藏在这座豪华游艇里。游艇好像是一个大的实验室，里面有奇奇怪怪的远古鱼类化石。巴比看到实验台上的白色粉末，尝了一下，以为是毒品。而后，玛格被会飞的鱼咬伤，他们才意识到问题的严重。麦克仔细研究了电脑里的资料，发现原来这些鱼都是吃了受污染的浮游生物后发生了异变。可此时已经为时已晚，除了麦克其余四人都被感染。游艇即将爆炸，这些怪物也即将被消灭，只有麦克跳海逃出。谁知怪物并没有死，麦克也没有逃生。

As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche.

◎简　　介　　1976年戛纳正式竞赛片,想象力令世人震惊.　　帕维尔.祖拉契克,捷克新浪潮电影运动中的天才导演,被誉为捷克新浪潮电影革命中真正的灵魂,做为整个东欧电影新生运动中最独特的剧作家之一,他创作了好几部在捷克东欧电影史上占有重要地位的影片.　　黑白电影“The End of August at the Hotel Ozone”出品于1967年。它是编剧Pavel Juracek和导演Jan Schmidt合作的第二部作品，这两人是可以代表上世纪60年代捷克电影新浪潮流派的两位天才。　　在当时的东欧，一些有政治报复的电影人希望通过银幕来唤醒人们对极权的认知和反抗，但囿于体制壁垒难以使用现实主义体裁，于是拍出了大量科幻、童话、象征或神秘主义电影。Juracek和Schmidt正是属于这一阵营。　　故事开始于一场几乎毁掉全人类的战争之后，山野里出现由一个老妇带领的八个年轻姑娘，她们一路跋涉，寻找食物和或许还活着的男人，希望成为“新世界之母”。　　当时东西方核储备竞争造成的末世恐慌是这部电影想当然的象征物，却不像其它多数末世电影般先给出一片荒土和废墟的影像，并将角色披上盔甲、戴上面罩，塑造得如机器人一般——在“The End of August at the Hotel Ozone”里，大地一片盎然生机，植物在疯长，到处都是动物，片中的八位姑娘个个也健康丰满、强壮矫健。她们就这样生活在饱和到几乎溢出来的自然之中，只是见不到人，祖先留给她们的是枪弹、炸药和汽油。　　影片强调她们是因懂事前就脱离了社会与文明，于是不再具备某些被公认的“人性”。片中有一些很残酷的镜头——动物保护主义者一定难以忍受——譬如像一群狼一样把一头奶牛剖开、用枪托砸碎一只一直渴望跟随她们的狗的脑袋等等。经历过文明的老妇教会她们怎样使用语言、文字、杯子和枪，但没有办法使她们成为文明人，因为她们失去了社会。　　影片后半部里他们遇到了一个孤独活在农场里的老人，从他那里见识了诸多文明的遗迹，譬如一台再也放不出的电视、一张旧报纸和一架械动留声机，她们只对留声机感兴趣——这里电影似乎在暗示：音乐与文明之间并非有必然的联系。　　最终老妇因病去世，姑娘们冷漠地准备抛下农场老人离开，并要带走那架动留声机，老人豁然明白她们不懂感恩、毫无人情，他被姑娘们枪杀了。　　电影里有太多的象征与隐喻，每个人都可以给出自己的解释。另外，其黑白影像细节锐利而构图绝妙，从远景到人物脸部特写的镜头切换干净果断、了无痕迹。无论从内涵还是美学来估判，这都是部深刻的经典之作。　　其实，上文中提到的那些极权下勇于政治干涉的电影人，他们中的一些在革命者和艺术家两种角色之间终于晃晕了脑袋。本来，他们是不得不用一些象征、意象、解构的方式来呈现其主题，结果主题却被形式颠覆了，他们的后期作品成为了干脆的试验影像，尽管依旧精妙，却已是空中楼阁。

Based on the novel by Karel Capek, the prominent Czech writer of the early 20th century who coined the word robot for his play R.U.R., the story revolves around a discovery of Krakatit - a powerful explosive - by Prokop, an experimental scientist who, following an accidental explosion in his lab, slips in and out of delirium. When he realises that, in a delirious period, he has given the formula for making Krakatit to one of his colleagues, he tries to find the man, who does not realize how dangerous a thing Krakatit is. In the process, he nearly gives his discovery away again to foreign interests, a group of anarchists, and even greater forces of darkness...

They pursue him, but somehow he continues to elude the evil doctors. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

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 SeryozhaA Summer to Remember with Igor Talankin. Two years later, he made his solo directorial debut, Put K PrichaluThe 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 MoskveI 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).

这是每天都会发生的故事，一个墨西哥农民偷偷穿越国境来到加利福尼亚，努力工作，攒钱，为了将家人送回家乡。这个或许平凡无奇的故事在美国独立电影人罗伯特·M·扬手中变得格外强硬与写实。《非法移民》没有像其他同类题材电影那样流于伤感，而是细腻生动地调查了他们的生存状况，完成了一段扣人心弦的公路之旅，虽不乏政治属性但也没有失去对主角复杂性的展现。影片赢得1978年戛纳电影节金摄影机奖。

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。

Coming as it does from the depths of the Stalinist regime, the Russian Road to Life is a remarkably optimistic film. A host of nonprofessional children are cast as Moscow street kids, left homeless by the Bolshevik revolution. They get into all sorts of melodramatic scrapes until they're rounded up by kindly, altruistic Soviet functionaries. The children are reformed (in the nicest possible way) and made useful members of society. Road to Life is simplistic in its solutions to society's problems, albeit no more so than the usual Hollywood product from the same period.
