碧姬（艾米莉·帕金斯 Emily Perkins 饰）和金杰（凯瑟琳·伊莎贝尔 Katharine Isabelle 饰）是情同手足的姐妹，亚洲级彼此之间感情十分亲密。某日，亚洲级金杰外出意外遭到了一只怪兽的袭击，好在虽然身受重伤，但好歹捡回了一条性命。然而，令碧姬感到担心的是，自此金杰的性情大变，日渐放荡狂野，不仅四处沾花惹草，甚至开始渴望鲜血的滋味。让碧姬感到更加恐慌的是，她发现金杰身上已经愈合的伤口之上竟然长出了褐色的毛发，而她的尾椎骨上亦身处了类似尾巴一样的部分。无法对此坐视不管的碧姬找到了喜欢研究植物的山姆（克里丝·莱切 Kris Lemche 饰），希望后者能够研制出解药，让金杰变回原样。
回复 :When Hannah's parents took her to a new school, they said it was to give her a new start. However, Hannah is 11, autistic, and due to her condition, unable to speak. She had a twin called Angel, but when Angel died, Hannah was forbidden to grieve by her abusive parents and punished when she sought comfort from her sister's things. Now Hannah lives locked inside a silent life of despair, which she fears will soon end at the hands of her parents. However, when a knife keeps appearing under her pillow, and a voice that she thinks is inside her head won't leave her alone, Hannah begins to realise that just maybe, she may have an ally not of this world, but fear paralyses her. Could it be Angel, who from the 'other side' has come to seek justice for all the abuse she has suffered? Can Hannah overcome her fear enough to let her in?- Written by Jane Alexandra Foster
回复 :去年导演Peter Greenaway有来香港出席HKIFF, 当然一如过去, 都有捧Nightwatching场. Nightwatching已经是比较容易明白的了, 相比起A Life in Suitcases和一系列的The Tulse Luper Suitcases. 近年多放时间在舞台上的Peter Greenaway, 电影集中描写Rembrandt及他创作油画The Night Watching的过程, 美不胜收, 拍摄手法完美得令人醉倒.这回又是Rembrandt, 怎可错过Rembrandt's J'Accuse属essayistic documentary, 即剧情纪录片. 又一次被对导演杀个措手不及. 有观众离场(好像他的电影总是这样, 有人会钓鱼, 有人顶唔住... ), 虽然没想过此片会是这个形式, 但又是十个惊喜, 不少啼笑皆非的地方.导演这回对油画The Night Watch来个地毯式搜查, 幽默又批判地评论现今视觉艺术知识的无知. 油画上三十四个人物差不多都被细致地分析、研究. 人物的高度, 背景, 手, 甚至身体器官都细谈一番, 某程度上甚具娱乐性.配乐和他的其他作品一样, 依然震撼. 这回由作曲家Giovanni Sollima及Marco Robino负责.第一次在银幕上多次见到Peter Greenaway以教授式解说. 很值得一看.
