回复 :Charles Burnett, one of America's most highly regarded independent filmmakers, wrote and directed this domestic drama about a black middle-class family living in South central Los Angeles. However, there are no gangs, no guns, no drugs but instead a lyrical story that draws on folklore and the supernatural.family tensions are already simmering when Harry (Danny Glover) arrives to visit his old friends. He exudes an easy charm, knows secret past and present and is soon installed in the heart of the family. However, as his stay lengthens, so does he begin to cast an even more malevolent spell, provoking turmoil, setting son against son, reviving past hatreds, and inflicting a mysterious illness.Glover delivers a career-topping performance as the garrulous family friend, full of hidden menace, effortlessly evoking nostalgia and horror in the same breath.As ever, Burnett provides a wonderful music track featuring gospel, blues and jazz and a cameo from the legendary Jimmy Weatherspoon.'A slow-burning, soul-insinuating, 12-bar blues of a movie.' Tom Charity, Time Out'Danny Glover is marvellous, and terrifying, as a charismatic old-timer.' The Times(from the description on the back cover of the DVD)
回复 :阿尔．帕西诺演而优则导处女作就挑战高难度，用半纪录半戏剧，既诠释又议论的复杂手法拍摄本片，其创作诚意和导演技巧都有令人惊喜。本片基本上是纪录阿尔．帕西诺和美国演员排学莎翁的冷门剧本《理查三世》的整个过程。透过大量的街头访问，让人了解到美国年轻一代对莎士比亚的戏剧是何其陌生，这也解释了帕西诺为何要拍此片的动机。而一连串选角和围读剧本的讨论，则有如向观众解读《理》剧，深入了解其时代背景和角色心理动机，让大家在欣赏戏中戏的正式演出部分很快便进入状况。因此，本片采用的叙事手法看似零乱，实际却对观众发挥了下面的辅助作用，因为影片的镜头运用更自由奔放，戏里戏外的呼应更紧密，关注的层面更广泛，成功地为莎剧电影注入了新血液。
