天堂夜总会

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.

一部影片，如果能令观赏者产生如“心性休息”一般的宁静与平和，那么这样的成果，必然是由于清净的善念和上天的祝福，本片正是具备这个特点。导演苏珊皈依于藏传佛教萨迦派的究给崔律法王，自2001年起，她舍离繁华的都市生活搬到尼泊尔居住，并开始筹备本片的拍摄。这段时间，她在闻、思、修中体悟，并且在上师的加持下，直到2007年，究给崔律法王圆寂时，历经整整六年才完成这部影片。也正是这六年间一切的因缘与体悟，让她透过本片从心表达出超越概念、超越生死的－－无死密境。本片的场景位于尼泊尔，分别是佛陀诞生地－蓝毗尼，莲师修持长寿法达到无私境界的圣地－马拉提卡，以及有关“解脱之地”称号的穆梯娜（穆斯坦地区）。尊贵的究给崔律法王生前曾告诉导演苏珊，上述的圣地非常殊胜，任何人只要看到影片中的地方，都将受益，可立即清除累动劫恶业。这部影片，值得您细细品味，更珍贵的是可以帮助你做一身心性的休息。
