回复 :Siddartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to unexpected and brutal death of his father. He has to now find a job in stead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected - man landing on moon. The interviewer asks is he is a communist. Needles to say that he does not get the job.He reaches a coffee shop where he is offered to work for the communist party. When he does not show any interest the party leader tells him about an opening for a medical representative. To escape from the heat and have a snooze, he goes in to a cinema. As a government propaganda newsreel is being shown before the feature, a bomb explodes in the cinema hall. In the stampede that follows, Siddartha, breaks his watch. He goes to a watchmaker but he cannot afford the repairs.Waiting to cross the road, he notices a sexy girl. He drifts back to his days as a medical student in a flashback. The professor is explaining anatomy of female breast. Many flashbacks and dreams occur to Siddartha through the film.On his way to hostel, he has an encounter with some hippies. Along with an ex-classmate, he goes out to see a porn film but to their disappointment, the film turns out to be not-so-pornographic.In such constant wandering in a Calcutta, disintegrated relationships with his sister and a Naxalite (militant communist) brother, his friendship with Keya is only thing that keeps him sane.Keya is a simple girl. They enjoy each other's company but they cannot make any commitment to each other due to the circumstances.After yet another attempt at a job interview, Siddartha leaves the big city to take a modest job of a salesman in a far off small town. He writes to Keya that he still cherishes their relationship. And that he has heard that bird call again but this time it is for real, and not his mind. After completing the letter, he comes out to the balcony of his modest room. The bird calls again. He also hears the sombre chants of a funeral procession. As he turns to the camera, the picture is frozen.This is the first film of the Calcutta Trilogy. The other two were and Seemabaddha (Company Limited, 1971) and Jana Aranya (The Middle Man, 1975). All the three films study the effect the big city of Calcutta has on the educated youth and the price it extracts from them.The seventies were a difficult period for India and West Bengal. The Corruption was rampant; the Naxalite movement had created havoc in Calcutta. In fact, they had turned parts of Calcutta into 'liberated zones'. By the time the Naxalite movement died down, in 1975, Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then, Prime Minister of India) suppressed the fundamental rights and declared "Emergency" for her own political survival. Her son, Sanjay Gandhi became a dictator of sorts without any official designation. The opposition leaders were thrown into prisons.About his social responsibilities as a filmmaker, in an interview with Cineaste magazine, Ray commented, "You can see my attitude in The Adversary where you have two brothers. The younger brother is a Naxalite. There is no doubt that the elder brother admires the younger brother for his bravery and convictions. The film is not ambiguous about that. As a filmmaker, however, I was more interested in the elder brother because he is the vacillating character. As a psychological entity, as a human being with doubts, he is a more interesting character to me. The younger brother has already identified himself with a cause. That makes him part of a total attitude and makes him unimportant. The Naxalite movement takes over. He, as a person, becomes insignificant."In a letter to Seton in 1970, Ray wrote that Pratidwandi was the most provocative film he had made till then. The film is said to have evoked extreme reactions. "People either loved the film or hated it", Dhritiman Chatterjee told Andrew Robinson, Ray's biographer.
回复 :去年過世的波蘭導演耶吉‧卡瓦萊洛威茲,是「Polish Film School運動」中的代表人物之一。其作品擅長以影像呈現細膩的細節,累積給予觀者強烈的震撼力。議題圍繞個人在社會備受政治或戰爭壓迫下,人性的掙扎與道德的選擇。這些深具豐富意涵的創作文本,也讓他的作品深受影壇重視。1951年拍攝首部劇情長片《The Village Mill》,隨後完成《Shadow》(1956) ,以及本片《夜車》,這些影片都被視為相當具時代代表性的波蘭電影。卡瓦萊洛威茲亦曾主掌知名的KADR 製作部門,安德烈華依達、塔都茲考威克(Tadeusz Konwicki) 和尤利斯馬休斯基(Juliusz Machulski)都曾在其製作部門工作。他最為人所熟知的影片莫過於1961年的《修女約安娜》,以及1966年改編自Bolesław Prus的歷史小說《Pharaoh》,本片亦入圍了1967的奧斯卡最佳外語片。《夜車》敘述一對男女Jerzy和Marta意外地在前往波羅地海邊Hel的夜車上共處一室。一表人才的Jerzy狀似緊張,看來像是在逃避追趕,Marta剛開始也沉默不言,慢慢的兩人才成為朋友。在車上還有愛慕著Marta的男孩Staszek,以及擁有豔光四射的年輕太太的老律師。當火車停靠在一個小站裡,警方上車開始搜索畏罪潛逃的殺人犯時,流言開始四起,都將警方要緝捕的對象,指向這個車廂中的Jerzy和Marta…。不同於當時深受義大利新寫實主義影響的「Polish Film School運動」作品,《夜車》瀰漫著希區考克式的懸疑詭譎氣氛。全片的劇情推展在火車內進行,封閉的車廂成為卡瓦萊洛威茲最好的發展空間。火車上乘客間彼此的猜忌與不信任,可說是當時波蘭共產社會的最佳寫照,也是一部波蘭影史重要的傑作。
