皇室家族

影片围绕着一位失去记忆的女作家Alina Reynolds(柯比饰)展开。她发现自己一直在纽约城区游荡，分不清楚时间、地点、季节。Alina的意识游走在想象的对话、自己的短篇小说片段，以及周围熙熙攘攘的城市之间。而一个充满魅力的黑人青年的出现，让她的生活有了准星。

山东小子马永贞（陈观泰）的拳脚功夫虽十分了得，但因属无名小辈，初到十里洋场的旧上海的他也只能凭借过人力气做苦力。因为秉性善良，路遇不平事时马永贞会拔刀相助，令某歌女（井莉）对他暗生好感，也因此得以成为上海滩风流倜傥、武艺高强的黑道“不小人物”谭四（姜大卫）的好兄弟。因为对谭四成就的羡慕，马永贞决意凭自己的拳脚打出一片天下来，并渐渐如愿以偿。可惜江湖险恶，他没想到地盘逐渐扩大的自己和谭四成了杨老板的眼中钉。不久，他目睹谭四为杨老板所杀，决心为谭四报仇，然而他的仗义和功夫并不能玩转江湖的游戏规则。

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.
