回复 :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.

回复 :来到巴黎办事的于勒先生(雅克·塔蒂 Jacques Tati饰)初入巴黎就被超级现代化的世界博览会大楼所震惊。于勒先生很快就迷失在这座叹为观止的高科技大楼中,精妙绝伦的最新先进设备、流光溢彩的博览会景观以及来自世界各地的游客和顾客,都让于勒先生大开眼界。当于勒先生终于想起要去找办事的人时,天已渐黑。谈完公事,于勒先生来到了刚刚装修好的夜总会。午夜魅影,恍如白昼,里面的男男女女兴致正高。自然,于勒先生也加入了他们的狂欢队伍。于勒先生更一时兴起,把刚刚装修好的屋顶装饰弄了下来,屋内一片狼藉。怎知客人们非但没有觉得扫兴,反而玩得更加疯狂。旦夕之间已是清晨,狂欢一夜后的巴黎别有一番韵味。由法国著名喜剧导演雅克·塔蒂自编自导自演的喜剧影片《玩乐时间》,用一种接近单色的色调和70毫米的巨大画卷,将钢筋玻璃世界的冷酷转化成格格不入的超现实影像。本片几乎没有对白,但巧妙的运用了音效,加上演员肢体动作的表现,有着较为浓厚的早期默片风格。
