人生已至暮年的七位英国老人辗转前往印度斋浦尔度假。七人中，影院善解人意的伊芙琳（朱迪·丹奇 Judi Dench 饰）试图在丧夫后独立生活；患心脏疾病的大法官格雷厄姆（汤姆·威尔金森 Tom Wilkinson 饰）怀揣着无法启齿的秘密；道格拉斯（比尔·奈伊 Bill Nighy 饰）和琼希望能改善僵化的夫妻关系；老顽童诺曼和老来俏玛琪则时刻期盼着艳遇；至于穆瑞尔（玛吉·史密斯 Maggie Smith 饰），影院等待手术的她总是显得有几分冷漠刻薄。各怀心事的七人被异域风情广告吸引，不约而同下榻在玛丽戈德饭店。但是真实的饭店并不如广告宣扬的那般舒适，这趟印度心灵之旅也不似预想般尽如人意。在陌生的国度里，众人对余下的人生展开了新的思考，不希望抱憾终身的他们向着皆大欢喜的结局努力着。影片改编自英国女作家Deborah Moggach的小说《These Foolish Things》。
回复 :The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich; his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.
