A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.

◎简　　介剧情：Simple, poetic legend, developing through the life and fate of a poor farming family during the period of five generations. Set in the 16th century. Based on the novel by Shichiro Fukazawa.幕后：1960年，木下惠介导演了根据深泽七郎原作改编的《笛吹川》。《笛吹川》是世界上第一部、恐怕也是最后一部使用奇怪摄影技术的影片。影片用黑白胶片拍摄完毕之后，仅对那些强调作品主题思想的镜头施彩着色。因此，它既不是彩色片，也不算黑白片。如果硬要把它归类的话，也许可以说它是部水彩影片，或者可以称作南画派电影。整个影片就象文人画一样，只有部分画面着有色彩……这种制片手法耗资甚巨，使松竹公司的资方颇为吃惊。嗣后，世界上任何影片都未使用此种手法。这部影片在摄制过程中还使用了当时尚处于实验阶段的叠影镜头，有时在摄影机上套装一个乳白色的镜头，用以拍摄特写。这一点，当时的观众可能没有注意到。但它确实生动地体现了天才木下惠介的意图。虽然《二十四只眼睛》、《女园》以及《欢乐悲伤几岁月》等影片也获得了社会上的好评，但它们都不是反映导演内心世界的作品。而只有《笛吹川》（原作者深泽七郎）才是一部彻底反映了木下惠介内心世界的影片；甚至可以说，这部影片就是木下惠介“人生观”的体现。
