室生犀星の小説を翻案した成瀬巳喜男監督の名作。高名な作家の娘が文学青年と結婚するが、逍遥夫が自分の才能を信じて売れない小説を書き続けるため生活が困窮し、逍遥夫婦仲も冷めていくという物語を成瀬独特の淡々とした作風で描いている。暗く起伏に乏しい内容でありながら、その映画的展開は圧倒的に素晴らしい。名声は天地の開きがありながら、同じ志を抱く作家としてのライバル意識を燃やす杏子の父と夫が、庭に隔てた障子越しに執筆中の互いの姿を気にし合うシーンなど、さりげないドラマの肌合いを捉える成瀬演出の白眉である。物語とは直接関係のない細部の卓抜な描写も印象的。
回复 :This is an interesting yet bizarre little tale of a fictional (as far as I know, anyway) experiment performed during the Stalin-controlled years in the USSR. The main character is changed from a woman into a man. This is part of a larger plan to change more women into men and have a stronger work-force/army, etc. It's a very in-depth character study of the main character, who tries to fit into a world that she (now 'he') doesn't really understand, especially since she's now a man ... Stalin dislikes the results of the experiments and has the scientist killed. The main character then goes off to live a life as a simple, unknown everyday Soviet, but is inexplicably drawn into larger and larger schemes (somewhat reminiscent of "Forrest Gump" in that way). (s)He has run-ins with different important characters, including his ex-boyfriend from his days of being a woman, as well as going on a demented quest for the nurse with whom he possibly fell in love after the operation... However, he is trapped in his life as an important Soviet married man, and in the end makes a huge sacrifice for his country (unwillingly), and the movie goes from there to an ending that is possibly happy, yet still somehow incredibly depressing.
回复 :本片由五个发生在同一时间，不同国家地区的小故事组成，每个故事都描述了的士司机与乘客的一次短暂遭遇。洛杉矶晚上7:07，假小子司机柯基（薇诺娜·瑞德 Winona Ryder 饰）载着她的客人维多利亚（吉娜·罗兰兹 Gena Rowlands 饰）回酒店，恰巧负责电影选角的维多利亚看中了柯基，然而柯基却告诉她自己想成为一名机械师……纽约晚上10:07，黑人青年尤尤终于拦到了一辆的士，却发现司机是一名根本不会开车且语言不通的外国老人赫尔穆特（阿明·缪勒-斯塔尔 Armin Mueller-Stahl 饰），尤尤只好主动提出由他来开车……巴黎凌晨4:07，年轻的黑人司机把两名出言侮辱他的非洲乘客撵下车后，上来了一位美貌的盲女（碧翠斯·黛尔 Béatrice Dalle 饰），他立即对她产生了好奇与怜悯，却发现她比自己更能在这世界上辨明方向。……本片由贾木许自编、自导、自制而成，他在大约八天内完成了剧本创作，各个故事发生的地点则根据他想合作的演员而定。电影原声带则来自于他的老拍档民谣大师Tom Waits。

回复 :最近出现了一起凶徒连环杀人案，最令人恶心的是，凶徒每次作案后都将被害者的喉咙割走。FBI探员威尔（爱德华•诺顿 Edward Norton 饰）负责此案的侦察，经过详细调查，威尔分析此人每次都是将被害者的喉咙割走吃掉，然而却没有找到任何凶徒的蛛丝马迹。威尔向患有精神病的犯罪心理学家汉尼拔（安东尼•霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰）求助，希望汉尼拔能刻画出凶徒的犯罪心理以助破案。不料汉尼拔精神病发，意图伤害威尔，最后被关进了精神病监狱，此案也就不了了之。多年后，威尔又遇到了一起相同的谋杀案。虽确定了犯罪嫌疑人，但若想清楚推敲出此人的犯罪心理，以将其乘之于法，威尔只好再次找到了汉尼拔。
