这丑陋又美丽的世界

Aki and Naoko are childhood friends who are drifting apart as adults. Immersed in her family life, Naoko now has a husband and daughter; Aki, on the other hand, remains single and is on leave from work due to a personal crisis. The plot might sound familiar but it has never been told like this. The director Kusano Natsuka stages the interactions through an actors’ table-read and, as the lines are repeated, the scenes gradually develop into on-location conversations. Moreover, she repositions the dramatic peak of the story to the beginning: Aki has murdered Naoko’s daughter.Structurally inventive, Kusano's daring cinema implements ‘distantiation’ effects to get to the heart of friendship issues at times when life has settled. While the repetitions convey the suffocation of role patterns in both friendship and family, a line left out or added in unsettles and reminds us life can take unexpected turns.

主人公是一位救生员。一次，他救起了一个飞机失事落水的百万富翁(在影片拍摄的年代里，拥有百万港元就算是大富翁了，现在只能算中产阶级。)。为抢救富翁的性命给他输了自己的血，却令这个富翁白发转黑，年轻许多。后来发现，救生员的血液含有某种长寿因素，但输过他血液的人只能保持很短时间的青春。于是百万富翁绑架了救生员，想让他成为自己的供血机器。救生员经过一番惊险的生死搏斗，最终逃出了虎口。老富翁于愤愤中衰朽而死。左翼电影公司香港长城影业公司出品。
