回复 :英国剧作家、电影和戏剧导演迈克·李的1977年的话剧作品,BBC于同年将其改编并搬上银幕,获得了巨大反响。贝弗莉邀请她的新邻居安吉拉和托尼晚上来做客。受邀的还有也住在附近的苏,因为苏的15岁女儿阿比盖尔正在她家里举办她自己的派对。而贝弗利的丈夫劳伦斯工作繁多,戏剧开始时他刚刚加班回到家,不久后客人们就来了。聚会就这样在颇为尴尬和矜持的气氛中开始了。
回复 :22岁的毒贩克里斯(埃米尔·赫斯基 Emile Hirsch 饰)欠了一屁股债,高利贷主正威胁要追杀他。为保性命,他想到了唯一的办法,就是谋杀亲母阿黛尔以赚取高额保险,并联合了父亲、继母和妹妹多蒂(朱诺·坦普尔 Juno Temple 饰)一起瓜分这笔横财。然而克里斯不愿自己动手,遂瞄准了专业杀手乔(马修·麦康纳 Matthew McConaughey 饰),然而乔只做买卖不做慈善,筹不够钱不会动手。束手无策之时,克里斯只好先把妹妹暂时当“订金”交给乔。本以为万事办妥,只等坐收巨款的克里斯,却没想到事情竟往戏剧化的方向发展而去……本片曾获土星奖最佳独立电影、最佳男主角、最佳导演、最佳女配角、最佳编剧奖。
回复 :Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
