You wake up in a shabby hotel room with no idea how you got there. You can’t recall your name. You discover there seem to be other young women in other rooms in the same predicament, though one of them seems to know your name: Anne. After an unpleasant encounter with a rather large cockroach, you have a screaming fit. That’s when the nurses arrive to sedate you. And by the way, when night falls, you’ll need to escape from a killer demon with the bloodied head of a deer.
　　Faces of Anne relies heavily on elements of the slasher film – and in many ways, that’s exactly what it is. But the film is also a puzzle, whose central question – Why is Anne here? – allows us to explore theories as to its solution until the very last moment. Are we inside a video game? An escape room? The mind of someone with multiple personalities? The elaborate and nihilistic fantasy of a deranged serial killer? It’s nothing new to remark that the best horror films are often those that reflect the fears of society; this film builds a clever – and viscerally terrifying – analogy of some of the difficulties faced by today’s young people.

　　对一位教皇的血腥时代的描绘。亚历山大六世是历史上最臭名昭著，最恶毒最荒淫的教皇之一。他的儿子凯撒是个野心勃勃的极权主义者，极端残忍冷酷，不择手段，一心想用暴力统治意大利甚至周边国家。
　　幕后故事
　　文艺复兴是这样一个时代，每个人的欲望都光芒万丈，每个人的意志都摆在他自己的宝座上。人类成为宇宙的立法者，开始分不清伟大与邪恶的区别。城邦的荣耀、民族国家的偶像，一座座肉体的丰碑，使台伯河畔那个古老的帝国梦，从堕落的罗马教会中脱颖而出，像恶之花一样盛开。
　　关于文艺复兴时期那些“坏得不能再坏”的教皇，电影史上很少有他们的传记。只有1965年好莱坞的《痛苦与狂喜》，描写尤利乌斯二世，这个有三个私生子的教皇，邀请米开朗基罗创作了不朽的巨幅穹顶画《创世纪》和《最后审判》。新教改革前的罗马，仿佛回到了二千年前诸神狂欢的世代。一面是荒淫、堕落和层出不穷的阴谋，一面是散发着肉体气息的伟大艺术。教皇和红衣主教们，几乎人人都包养情妇，生养众多。在整个十五世纪，没有一个教皇不是通过买卖圣职贿选而来的。除了腐败的躯壳和堂皇的圣殿，基督信仰在意大利已荡然无存。一个文艺复兴的世界对主教们的淫乱和邪恶，怀着一种宽厚的、甚至如释重负的好感。而这一系列被称为“最文艺复兴”的教皇们，也无不是艺术的鉴赏者和最慷慨的赞助人。差不多一个世纪，主教们在两个世界之间犹豫不决，到底是成为凯撒的继承人，还是继续做使徒彼得的继承人？
　　直到1492年，罗德里格·博尔吉亚当选为教皇。这是出自西班牙裔的博尔吉亚（波奇亚）家族的第二位教皇。他贿赂每一位红衣主教的巨款，使这位罗马城最富有的人也差点破产。他以“亚历山大大帝”为名，称为亚历山大六世。他终其一生，扶持四个私生子建立了庞大的权势。其中一个，红衣主教凯撒·博尔吉亚，以他的野蛮、残忍和征战的天才，在28岁时就为他父亲打下了半个意大利，将一个教皇国的梦想献给他的家族。也成为意大利和罗马尼亚最令人生畏的统治者。这一对父子的名字，“亚历山大和凯撒”，仿佛一个咒语，预示着这个世界接下来一个几百年的噩梦——“凯撒的物归给凯撒，上帝的物也归给凯撒”。从此国家主义的光荣与梦想，一直持续到两次世界大战及1989年，才算告一段落。
　　从某个角度说，人类史上没有比亚历山大六世更邪恶的统治者。另一位比他好不到那里去的利奥十世，这样评价他的前任，“我们被世上最野蛮的恶狼抓住了，我们或者逃跑，或者被他生吞活剥”。这位教皇妄称上帝的名，以最圣洁的外貌施行最污秽的统治。去年以来，西班牙和好莱坞竟不约而同地，接连拍出两部关于这个家族的传记片。好莱坞的那部由柯林·法瑞尔主演，尚未公映。我看了西班牙的版本，生怕好莱坞也不会拍得更好了。看这部电影，你会更理解二十年后的新教改革，上帝在那个时代如何呼召他的门徒，扭转了一个彻底败坏的欧洲。你也会更加认同，马丁·路德对着圣彼得大教堂的那个宝座所发出的诅咒，一点也不恶毒，而是对事实的描述——坐在那上面的，是撒旦在人间的代表。
　　很遗憾的，是电影中没有出现两个应该出现的人，一个是画家达芬奇，他是凯撒军队的总工程师，为恺撒设计了可装载三百多士兵的攻城器械。一个是马基雅维利，他长期驻在博尔吉亚的宫廷里，在《君主论》里，他将这位被无数历史学家视为尼禄、卡里古拉一般的暴君的公爵，当作理想君主的典范。马基雅维利期望这对父子能够统一意大利，恢复亚历山大后裔的辉煌。他称这位不择手段的公爵是“全意大利最勇敢最聪明的人”。
　　一个教皇，一个公爵，如果再加一个艺术家和一个政治学者，一幅文艺复兴时期的图画就更加完整了。失去了与文艺复兴的联系，这些“文艺复兴教皇”的道德沦丧与政治权术，就被电影简化了，成了我们熟悉的宫廷血腥与厚黑学，只不过从我们熟悉的皇宫，换成了我们不熟悉的教廷。

　　Dante has a beautiful relationship with his girlfriend Alice, but he has a bad one with Time: absorbed by the many commitments of his daily life, he always arrives late and has the impression that his life is flowing too quickly.

According to him, the solution seems at hand: if he works hard enough, maybe in a few years he will be able to buy some time.

　　这不是一部普通的纪录片，而是透过意大利电影大师费德里克．费里尼独特的艺术家眼光为罗马古都写出来的一篇个人回忆录。全片打破传统叙事手法，以现实与超现实场面交叉穿梭进行，渗入了大量的幻觉和回忆，充分表现出费德里克．费里尼个人对罗马的爱恋，也让观众看到了这个城市隐蔽着的另一面。男星彼得．龚扎莱斯在片中饰演年轻时代的费德里克．费里尼，而费德里克．费里尼则演出他自己，在片中可以看到马戏团对费氏作品根深蒂固的影响。也可以从中揣摩出费尼电影风格的一些基本特质，喜爱他的影迷不容错过。

　　Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
　　In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
　　The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.

　　黑色的开头，潦草的手写体英文，把我们带回到了只有死亡的世界中。纯黑的布景，诡异的提琴伴奏夹杂着男人女人痛苦的呻吟，一个全身赤裸的男人翻身，把本身舒展在镜头前。一个红衣女子在纸上写下了“Der TodesKing”（德语，意为‘死亡之王’），而且画了一个可爱的小骷髅。纯黑色的布景再次呈现，赤裸的男人慢慢降下，呈现了这系列影片开头都要呈现的话。
　　音乐还是一如既往的低落阴森，但在这部里，却明显有些普通恐怖片音乐的做作的感觉。影片开始，在低落的钟声里一个男人（暂且称之为A）在街上行走着。继第二集贝蒂检查身体，得知自己怀孕，贝蒂把与第二个男友的小孩生下来后，将小孩养大，然后再其杀掉，继续恋尸……
　　其实《困惑的浪漫》并没有第三部，《死亡之王》与《困惑的浪漫》并没有关系，剧情完全没有连接。这部只是尤戈·布特格雷特导演同时期的另外一部作品而已，本片用一周的时间演绎着那些看似不连贯的小故事用来诠释死亡，片中时常出现的尸体腐烂过程也让我们更直接的直面死亡，正如片尾所说的，它给与人死亡的欲望。

　　SUPERCOOL马其顿动作幻想片！
　　sometimes i think it's a shame that movies like this one don't get the exposure that they deserve - that very few people will get to enjoy them... but sometimes, i think that the lack of exposure is what makes movies like this one - if indie was mainstream it wouldn't have been indie, would it?... so, the best thing i could say about "Zbogum na 20 vek" is a that it's a great movie, but it's not for everyone. the story is rather controversial, the level of blood and gore on screen is rather high (it makes the US horror flicks from the '90s look like kindergarten cartoons) and the editing... well, it's so uneven, that it might induce vomiting... however, if you have the stomach to go over these things, chances are that you will love this film, because it is indeed full of heart. if you don't love it, watch it again... once you know what's happening in the movie it will be much easier for you to pick up all the small details that not only make the scenes look cooler, but also deeper (i have a theory that the whole movie could be seen through symbols only, but it's too long to write it down here)... none of my friends liked it at first, but after two or three viewings, they find it at least respectable if not outright brilliant... so, to cut things up, if you can find this movie, see it by all means. 9.5/10
