For adults, it's easy to see how the different creatures represent different aspects of Max, 

but the screenplay, co-written with Dave Eggers, never talks down to the audience by making the subtext explicit -- 

they respect the fantasy world far too much to be so crass.

Preminger always liked this film, although he felt the American critics did not do it justice. The film was a qualified success in France, yet American critics felt the film wasn't French enough, a detail that amused Preminger. 









不可逆轉 Irreversible 

99 min. 2002

Writing credits

Gaspar Noé (writer)

Original Music by

Thomas Bangalter   



Monica Bellucci ...  Alex

Vincent Cassel ...  Marcus

Albert Dupontel ...  Pierre 

Jo Prestia ...  Le Tenia

Gaspar Noé ...  Client du Rectum (uncredited) 



1.

During the party scene shortly after (or before) the rape, when Vincent Cassel is asked his name he replies "Vincent" instead of his character's name, Marcus. He quickly covers this up by saying "just kidding" so that they would not have to reset the long and complicated shot.

2.

Director Gaspar Noé only had a three-page draft before the movie was shot, so all of the dialogue was improvised.

3.

The entire film was shot on Super 16, telecined to high-def video for color tweaking and editing, and then exported to Super 35. For many of the handheld shots, the director used the smallest existing 16mm camera, the Minima.

4.

The first 30 minutes of the film has a background noise with a frequency of 28Hz (low frequency, almost inaudible), similar to the noise produced by an earthquake. In humans, it causes nausea, sickness and vertigo. It was the main cause of people walking out of the theaters during the first part of the film in places like Cannes and San Sebastian. In fact, it was added with the purpose of getting this reaction.

5.

The French DVD release proudly proclaims in the blurb on the back that of 2,400 people at the film's Cannes premiere, 200 walked out.

6.

Fearing that he will be labeled homophobic, director Gaspar Noé went back to the Rectum set after the main production was completed and shot a short cameo as the masturbating man.

Dominic Guard ...  Leo Colston - boy

Michael Gough ...  Mr. Maudsley

Edward Fox ...  Hugh Trimingham

Richard Gibson ...  Marcus Maudsley









1.

To enter into the world of Harold Pinter is to enter into a land where meaning is best distilled not from what one sees and hears on the surface, but by what is buried underneath. 

2.

Famed for his "pauses," Pinter has a remarkable talent for dialogue, but it is dialogue which masks inner meaning, in the same way that most people use words to disguise their honest thoughts and desires.

3.

Accident is filled with small talk, meaningless conversations, and idle chatter, but the extreme emotion underneath the words constantly threatens to explode. 

4.

The viewer is not always certain of why characters feel a certain way, but he knows that they do indeed feel something and feel it strongly. 

5.

The disconcerting tension this creates is echoed by Joseph Losey's direction and Gerry Fisher's expert cinematography, with frequently skewed or bizarre angles and a tendency to dwell on a scene just a little too long.

惡魔 Les diaboliques

107 min. 1954

1954  Won Prix Louis Delluc 



Wages has moments of almost preternatural tension and is arguably the more interesting film, but Diabolique most captured the popular imagination. 



Typical of many French films of the 1950s, Clouzot's style was influenced by American film noir; unlike the French New Wave films which followed it, Diabolique also revealed the German expressionist roots of noir.



-- AllMovie



Simone Signoret ...  Nicole Horner

Véra Clouzot ...  Christina Delassalle (as Vera Clouzot)

Paul Meurisse ...  Michel Delassalle 



1.

The film is based on Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac's novel "Celle qui n'était plus" (She Who Was No More). Alfred Hitchcock also attempted to buy the rights to this novel; 

Boileau and Narcejac subsequently wrote "D'Entre les Morts" (From Among the Dead) especially for Hitchcock, who filmed it as Vertigo (1958).

2.

When director Henri-Georges Clouzot bought the film rights to the original novel, he reportedly beat Alfred Hitchcock by only a matter of hours.

Daddy always had a joke about it.

What was the joke?

He's, uh... he would introduce Mama as the girl he met in Paris.

He always laughed real hard about it.

While filming a part on "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre" (1963), John Cassavetes saw Steven Spielberg lurking around the set, as he was then in the habit of doing.

2.

Cassavetes approached Spielberg and asked what he wanted to be. When Spielberg replied he wanted to be a director, Cassavetes allowed the young man to direct him for the day.

3.

He later invited Spielberg to work on this film (Faces), Spielberg serving as an uncredited production assistant for two weeks.

[電影] 表兄弟 Cousins, Les (1959) 



1.

In director/writer Claude Chabrol's tale, the simple virtues of "good" cousin Charles cannot compete with the decadent force of will the "bad" cousin Paul. In Charles' eyes, it is all unfair, yet Chabrol doesn't see it that way.

2.

There isn't really fair or unfair, or perhaps it's more correct to say that determining fair and unfair requires a more complex way of looking at things than is normally assumed. Moral ambiguity and guilt are Chabrol's stock in trade here, and he layers the story with them in a most affecting manner.

3.

The result is a cruel film, but its brutality has an honesty to it. One cannot warm to Paul, whose arrogance and sadism keep him at a distance. But Charles never quite captures one's heart either, despite his role as the victim.

4.

Chabrol contrasts them in a complicated pas de deux that brings them vividly to life. He's aided immeasurably by Gerard Blain and Jean-Claude Brialy's letter-perfect performances, as ell as by an equally effective on from Juliette Mayniel.
