回复 :1996年的《紙人頭》哈那克又回到了《322》時記錄與虛構並置的路線。導演從大批過去未曾展示過的檔案影像之中,回憶並重溯了從二次大戰到89年絲絨革命的這段歷史,除了運用民眾在5月1日的共黨大節裡,以紙製人頭偶來揶揄政治人物的行動偶劇為創意,重新安排以紙人頭在成批的歷史影像串流中穿插出現,重構一齣政治寓言。導演並反身自涉了70年代的個人經驗回顧,企圖為這個被世界遺忘與湮滅的區域撢去塵埃。影片中大批出自不同年代不知名拍攝者之手的檔案影像,包含了官方的節慶宣傳,民間的反彈行動、秘密警察大肆街頭逮捕等等,不同鏡頭的視角、時間、觀點在導演手中統籌、架構成一套哈那克的敘事言說。除了回溯近代史之外,導演在創作處理涉及的層面與手法,讓影像的鏡頭、觀點、政治意識型態的支配以及作者本身意志與自覺之間多層次辯證,又多了更往前推進一步的例子。這對當前劇情片回漲無期,而紀錄片當紅的台灣,有心思索下一步的影像創作者來說,杜桑‧哈那克應該是深具啟發性的。

回复 :Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals."King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
