:这是一部极为出色的关于人与自然的电影。1902年和1907年,沙俄军官阿尔谢尼耶夫两次率领勘探队到乌苏里地区探险,都巧遇赫哲族老猎手德尔苏·乌扎拉。德尔苏.乌扎拉为勘探队充当向导,并挽救了阿尔谢尼耶夫的生命,与之建立了深厚的情谊。德苏对大自然相当了解与尊重,藉由他的示范 与见解,让人们了解大自然的伟大与残酷,人是可以与大自然和平相处,但当大自然被破坏时,人们将是第一个遭殃。德苏是一个神枪手,但后来在一次打猎时,德苏发现自己的眼睛因为身体衰老而退化,看不清猎物了,十分沮丧。他随阿尔谢尼耶夫到大城市伯力居住。但是,城市文明德苏却无法习惯,城市和他过去赖以生存的地方,那片纯朴的自然大地是完全不同的。猎人离开枪,离开了他所熟悉的环境,仿佛鱼儿离开了水。“城里没法狩猎,不狩猎就没有貂”“我突然想念空气。”他象是被囚禁了一般,闷闷不乐。德苏执意回到山里,回到那片密林。但是,猎人没有好的视力,便是最大的悲剧。猎人不能猎杀,自己便被会猎杀。勇敢的德苏虽然带着阿尔谢尼耶夫送给他的新猎枪,但是他却死了……

:It has been said that most great twentieth century novels include scenes in a hotel, a symptom of the vast uprooting that has occurred in the last century: James Ivory begins Quartet with a montage of the hotels of Montparnasse, a quiet prelude before our introduction to the violently lost souls who inhabit them.Adapted from the 1928 autobiographical novel by Jean Rhys, Quartet is the story of a love quadrangle between a complicated young West Indian woman named Marya (played by Isabelle Adjani), her husband Stefan (Anthony Higgins), a manipulative English art patron named Heidler (Alan Bates), and his painter wife Lois (Maggie Smith). The film is set in the Golden Age of Paris, Hemingway's "moveable feast" of cafe culture and extravagant nightlife, glitter and literati: yet underneath is the outline of something sinister beneath the polished brasses and brasseries.When Marya's husband is put in a Paris prison on charges of selling stolen art works, she is left indigent and is taken in by Heidler and his wife: the predatory Englishman (whose character Rhys bases on the novelist Ford Madox Ford) is quick to take advantage of the new living arrangement, and Marya finds herself in a stranglehold between husband and wife. Lovers alternately gravitate toward and are repelled by each other, now professing their love, now confessing their brutal indifference -- all the while keeping up appearances. The film explores the vast territory between the "nice" and the "good," between outward refinement and inner darkness: after one violent episode, Lois asks Marya not to speak of it to the Paris crowd. "Is that all you're worried about?" demands an outraged Marya. "Yes," Lois replies with icy candor, "as a matter of fact."Adjani won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her performances in Quartet: her Marya is a volatile compound of French schoolgirl and scorned mistress, veering between tremulous joy and hysterical outburst. Smith shines in one of her most memorable roles: she imbues Lois with a Katherine-of-Aragon impotent rage, as humiliated as she is powerless in the face of her husband's choices. Her interactions with Bates are scenes from a marriage that has moved from disillusionment to pale acceptance.Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and James Ivory's screenplay uses Rhys's novel as a foundation from which it constructs a world that is both true to the novel and distinctive in its own right, painting a society that has lost its inhibitions and inadvertently lost its soul. We are taken to mirrored cafes, then move through the looking glass: Marya, in one scene, is offered a job as a model and then finds herself in a sadomasochistic pornographer's studio. The film, as photographed by Pierre Lhomme, creates thoroughly cinematic moments that Rhy's novel could not have attempted: in one of the Ivory's most memorable scenes, a black American chanteuse (extraordinarily played by Armelia McQueen) entertains Parisian patrons with a big and brassy jazz song, neither subtle nor elegant. Ivory keeps the camera on the singer's act: there is something in her unguarded smile that makes the danger beneath Montparnasse manners seem more acute.
