美国导演塞缪尔·福勒1964年作品，日本黑白片，日本片长91分钟。夜总会女郎凯莉为了摆脱往事的困扰而来到了一座陌生的小镇。在经历了一系列波折后，她不但拥有了安稳的工作，还与一富家子弟坠入爱河。可正当她以为找到了幸福，却惊恐地发现……塞缪尔·福勒是美国最著名的B级片导演之一（B级片即一种成本较低的影院加映片），他始终坚持着自己黑色、暴力的电影风格，宁可几年息影也从不向片商妥协退让。塞缪尔·福勒在美国乃至世界独立制片界都享有极高的地位，他的影片受到戈达尔的高度赞扬，丹尼斯·霍普曾指导过以他为题材的影片《最后的电影》，贾木许、塔伦蒂诺等年轻导演也一直把他视为偶像。
回复 :去年导演Peter Greenaway有来香港出席HKIFF, 当然一如过去, 都有捧Nightwatching场. Nightwatching已经是比较容易明白的了, 相比起A Life in Suitcases和一系列的The Tulse Luper Suitcases. 近年多放时间在舞台上的Peter Greenaway, 电影集中描写Rembrandt及他创作油画The Night Watching的过程, 美不胜收, 拍摄手法完美得令人醉倒.这回又是Rembrandt, 怎可错过Rembrandt's J'Accuse属essayistic documentary, 即剧情纪录片. 又一次被对导演杀个措手不及. 有观众离场(好像他的电影总是这样, 有人会钓鱼, 有人顶唔住... ), 虽然没想过此片会是这个形式, 但又是十个惊喜, 不少啼笑皆非的地方.导演这回对油画The Night Watch来个地毯式搜查, 幽默又批判地评论现今视觉艺术知识的无知. 油画上三十四个人物差不多都被细致地分析、研究. 人物的高度, 背景, 手, 甚至身体器官都细谈一番, 某程度上甚具娱乐性.配乐和他的其他作品一样, 依然震撼. 这回由作曲家Giovanni Sollima及Marco Robino负责.第一次在银幕上多次见到Peter Greenaway以教授式解说. 很值得一看.

回复 :A Medieval Knight resurrects to fulfill his vow and bestow a blood-thirst vengeance upon the kindred spirits of those who betrayed him long ago. In the course of one night, identities will be revealed, destinies met, and a poetic justice of the macabre maniacally served. Here lies a tale of passion, loyalty, deceit, betrayal...and revenge. They were Warriors. They were Crusaders. Under the leadership of the righteous GREGOIRE, this band of brothers in the Holy Order of the Knights Templar selflessly fought back-to-back, defending GOD and the True Cross. Until one dark night of utter betrayal... Glorious was their victory that night, gold their find. The spoils were to be taken to their Grandmaster for use in furthering their Cause. Yet greed had infected one of their number - RENAULT - and under the influence of the demon of lust, he embraced and fiendishly persuaded others to help him carry out his nefarious plan of betrayal. Among those whose hearts he blackened was the already resentful MENAS, envious of his brother MELKON, the man famed as being both the greatest swordsman in all of Europe and the right hand of Gregoire. The following morning Renault's heinous plot went into effect and Gregoire, Melkon and their beloved steward KOKO were ambushed and executed for purposes of greed. But as he lay dying, Gregoire vowed his revenge. Ten lifetimes of excess Renault and his murdering compatriots would enjoy. And then he would return to deliver their souls to Hell for all of eternity. Ten lifetimes of excess... The centuries pass and after 700 years, the allotted time of the evildoers nears culmination. One dark, stormy night, the Crusader, upon his steed, resurrects to execute his pledge of vengeance upon the now kindred spirits of those who victimized him so very long ago. The stage is set for retribution as an eclectic group assembles at a secluded manor home under the guise of a promised fantasy weekend to fulfill personal desires. JAKE, the events coordinator will have his hands full playing host to his young guests; CELINE, the alluring and promiscuous Eastern-European, ASHLEY, the contemptuous yet beautiful socialite, AMY, the innocent and meek girl-next-door, HURCOS, the predatory Middle-Eastern playboy, and JAPONIKO, the uninvited and mysterious Asian minimalist. SHAUNA, the abrasive Irish cook, and her cohort in crime BENOIT, the bone-idle English caretaker, along with the enigmatic PRIEST and the benevolent SHOPKEEPER, round out this unusual and extremely colorful cast of characters. Jake assigns the position of assistant recreational coordinator to Amy, and as she reads from an obscure storybook, the tale of Gregoire and his righteous band of Templar Knights animates, and the story of betrayal is reenacted for the guests. Blood will flow excessively as the cursed and unsuspecting kindred spirits meet their imminent destinies one-by-one during the Crusader's maniacal reprisal.
