花红花火

身怀绝技的盲人按摩师座头市（胜新太郎饰）行走江湖，在途经关宿时受邀为黑田家的殿下按摩。谁知殿下举止癫狂，行为异常，为了防止家丑外泄，黑田家命令武士截杀归途中的阿市，但刺客全部死于阿市刀下。躲避仇家之际，阿市邂逅女郎阿节（水谷良重饰），这位温柔的女子令他想起曾深深伤害过自己的千代。短暂盘桓，阿市再度启程，为了祭拜死于他刀下的平手造酒而返回笹川，而被黑田家买通的黑道头目堪兵卫（泽村宗之助饰）则带领徒众紧随其后。 与此同时，与座头市有着极深渊源的独臂浪人与四郎（若山富三郎饰）及其小弟三藏（中村丰饰）逗留笹川，宿命的杀伐在所难免……。本片讲述好莱坞著名大导演詹姆斯·威尔（伊安·麦克莱恩 Ian McKellen 饰）1957年的最后人生。这位创造影史最惊悚角色“科学怪人”的导演已淡出电影界， 正潜心研究绘画，闲时仍与一些男子频频约会。当管家汉娜（琳恩·雷德格瑞夫 Lynn Redgrave 饰）录用了新园丁、身强力壮的前海军陆战队成员布恩（布兰登·费舍 Brendan Fraser 饰）后，威尔的兴趣渐渐全部转移到布恩身上。威尔象一只爬向苍蝇的蜘蛛一样一点点接近布恩，引领后者一步步走进精心设计的圈套。原来威尔虽然已停止拍片，但自从见到布恩后，他发现布恩同自己片中的主角弗兰肯斯坦极为相似——不善言辞、单纯质朴且难以理解。威尔感到自己无法冷却心中的热爱，只有布恩才能解除他的痛苦，他的计划就是诱使布恩最终杀死他本人，从而得以亲手实现一生中最完美的电影情节...... 本片通过年老好莱坞名导与年轻园丁的微妙接触，以及由此触发过往回忆的碎片，娓娓刻画奇妙而复杂的同性情愫，勾勒出一个友谊、尊重、爱恋、抗拒、厌恶、恐惧等情感荡涤的世界。影片不断穿插《科学怪人》的电影画面和台词，它巧妙地暗合了同性恋与科学怪人共同的被歧视性地位和恐惧处境。导演戏谑而平静的虚实铺陈出一位同性恋导演的最后生命旅程，堪称黑色喜剧的杰作。《众神与野兽》获当年奥斯卡最佳改编剧本奖，同时入围最佳男主角、最佳女配角。本片也是以“甘道夫”形象风靡世界的伊安·麦克莱恩爵士演艺生涯中最重要也是最出色的一次演绎。。Made for only $350,000 in 1985 when no one wanted to fund or star in a movie about lesbians, Desert Hearts is widely considered the first full-length lesbian love story, and its success paved the way for the proliferation of lesbian films we enjoy today. Directed by Donna Deitch and set in 1950's Reno, Nevada, Desert Hearts tells the story of a 35-year-old uptight female professor Vivian (Helen Shaver) who comes to town to file for divorce and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited 25-year-old casino worker Cay (Patricia Charbonneau). Although Vivian left her husband because she had "drowned in still waters," she is not quite prepared for the tidal wave-effect Cay has on her life. As Vivian herself admits, her life is all about "order," and her image of herself as a scholar and a professional, upstanding woman does not include a relationship with a woman. Cay, meanwhile, is living at home with her stepmother, Frances (Audra Lindley) while she waits to meet someone who "counts"--and she almost immediately recognizes that Vivian is that someone. Both women struggle with conflicting desires and a sense of obligation to others, and are ultimately drawn together not just because of their attraction to each other, but because each woman offers the other something she has been unable to find on her own.。
