被包養(yǎng)的人妻們

1916年，第一次世界大戰(zhàn)在西線激烈進(jìn)行，約克郡拉姆斯登的合唱協(xié)會失去了大部分男性成員，他們都應(yīng)征入伍了。雄心勃勃的委員會決心繼續(xù)前行，決定招募本地的年輕男性來填補(bǔ)隊伍空缺。同時，他們還必須聘請一位新的合唱指揮，最有希望的人選是亨利·格思里博士（拉爾夫·費(fèi)因斯 飾）——一個意志堅定、毫不妥協(xié)、剛從德國音樂生涯歸來的男人。隨著征兵通知陸續(xù)送達(dá)，全社區(qū)的人逐漸意識到，在戰(zhàn)爭摧毀一切的混亂中，最有力的回應(yīng)就是：一起奏響音樂。

　　他（Method Man 飾）是一個沉默的男子，永遠(yuǎn)禮帽風(fēng)衣，沉默地穿梭在這座道德淪喪、破敗絕望的城市的大街小巷。死亡每天發(fā)生，司空見慣，不知天高地厚的年輕人們呼嘯而過，揮霍生命。白天他是市殯儀館的殯儀師，以嫻熟專業(yè)且莊重的手法清理殘破不堪的尸體，帶死者走過最后一程；夜晚則端坐那間被暴怒吵鬧的鄰居所包圍的小屋里，細(xì)心制作動物標(biāo)本，為他們的主人找回最后的安慰?！　∧程欤痪吲允w在他死水般的內(nèi)心世界引起漣漪。尸體上紋有波提切利的名作《維納斯誕生》，似曾相識的圖案勾起了他對往事的回憶。城市的自毀仍在繼續(xù)，他也無法永保平靜……

　　Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned.　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.

　　此片是盧貝松再影壇還沒沒無聞時，憑著一腔熱血，旺盛活力與爆發(fā)力， 突破一切傳統(tǒng)，掙脫一切商業(yè)機(jī)制下的樊籠，冒著無色彩，無對話，無明星等大諱所完成的電影。當(dāng)影片完成時，因宣傳無門，于是盧貝松帶著這部影片參加瑞士阿沃基影展，一舉拿下評審特別大獎及影評人獎，因而打開他的國際知名度。解剖核子戰(zhàn)后的文明廢墟，因為無色彩，所以這是一部黑白色調(diào)的電影。
