纯情护士丽莎,平日除了贴身看护行动不便的老太太,就是和幻想中的70 年代日本偶像歌手谈天说地。30 岁生日这天,她决定将脑中的浪漫化为行动,出去寻找真爱。就在她短暂外出时,老太太竟意外身亡。平常不闻不问的家属们以为丽莎谋财害命而报警处理,却查无犯罪事实。只不过此后跟丽莎交往的人,也都一一死于非命,让迷恋日本文化的她忍不住怀疑自己就是传说中带来厄运的「狐仙」,只有无私的真爱才能化解悲惨的宿命。问题是谁的八字硬到足以克除她身上的诅咒呢?
融合日本元素与东欧文化的情节,别出心裁,妙趣横生。绮丽的视觉风格及活泼的叙事观点,则令人想到《艾蜜莉的异想世界》。饰演丽莎的莫妮卡贝瑟,表演可圈可点;男主角虽然沈默寡言,必要时却能超越「地表最强」的连恩尼逊。这部悬疑又浪漫的黑色奇幻喜剧,是卡欧利乌梅萨罗的首部长片。。Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date.
The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer.
The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。
