1969年 Woodstock音乐节四个月之后，发生了一次名气远在前者之下、但就意义与成就来说不遑多让的枪杀事件。这部电影就是记录这次事件的。这支乐队可以说是20世纪60年代摇滚的终结者，当然它的表面现象是1969年12月。当时，在美国有大量乐迷的Rolling Stones乐队在美国加州奥德蒙举行一场免费演唱会，当天有40万观众来到现场，但悲剧发生了，被聘来维持秩序的飞车党在演唱会上演了暴力的场面，一名观众被追杀而死。这部又名《让我躲藏》的纪录片记下了“滚石”乐队最值得珍藏的瞬间，也记下了“地狱天使”的凶猛身影，本来是来维持秩序的他们最终却与部分观众大打出手，让20世纪60年代爱与和平的聚会的巨大神话在瞬间倒塌，正因为这些无比真实的镜头，这部电影在摇滚文献中的重要性非同一般。

经过长达七年的修业之旅，绯牡丹阿龙（藤純子 饰）和组员飞车角（広瀬義宣 饰）返回故乡熊本，决心复兴父亲一手创立的矢野组。路上，他们偶然救助了遭到追杀的青年富士松（待田京介 饰），因此与当地的黑帮荒木田组结怨。随着明治时代的到来，日本全面进入工业社会。九州筑丰一带富足的煤矿得到广泛开发，为了提高运输速度，铁路的铺设被提上日程。然而这项计划触及了远贺川流域运煤船工的利益，他们和承包工程的帮派组织多次发生冲突。阿龙的叔父川边要次郎（嵐寛寿郎 饰）在冲突中受伤，不治身亡。他在临死前将组织托付给阿龙，并嘱托她一定要完成铁路的建设。继承叔父的遗志，阿龙全力推进工程的进行，因此和代表船工利益的堪藏（石山健二郎 饰）产生矛盾。另一方面，心怀不轨的荒木田组伊之助（天津敏 饰）时刻寻找机会，准备一举摧毁铁路工程以及阿龙、堪藏的组织……

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
