我朋友的老婆 3

　　亚历克斯（摩根·弗里曼 Morgan Freeman 饰）是一名资历丰富的警探，这一次，他被派遣负责国会议员女儿被绑架一案。杰姬（莫妮卡·波特 Monica Potter 饰）是负责保护被绑架女孩安全的特工，正为了自己的疏忽和失职自责不已，趁此机会，她强烈要求成为亚历克斯的搭档，一同侦破此案。　　随着调查的深入，一个名为加里（迈克尔·温科特 Michael Wincott 饰）的男人浮出了水面，除了绑架了议员的女儿，他还和城中发生的数起绑架案有着千丝万缕的联系。亚历克斯和杰姬随即展开了岁加里的追捕，然而，老奸巨猾的加里并不会轻易的被警方捕获，恰恰相反，在不知不觉间，亚历克斯走入了加里所设下的弥天陷阱之中。

　　这部电影将写实与科幻合而为一。一种传染性性疾病STBO正在国内蔓延，它通过没有感情的性活动传播。　　小偷马克和汉斯欠一个美国女人一笔钱，她限他们两个星期还。他们打算去偷一种专治类似艾滋病的药剂，然后高价转卖。于是他们雇来了亚力克斯，一个正在跟16岁女友丽莎分手的青年。但在计划实施之前，他迷恋上了马克的情妇安娜。丽莎却并没有死心，在他们动手那天她来到了巴黎，使得事情更加复杂化……　　当然，这是个悲剧。Love that burns fast but lasts forever.　　这是导演Leos Carax继《男孩遇见女孩》后的第二部作品，继续他对青春和孤独等题材的关注，也就是在此片的五年之后诞生了影史经典之作——《新桥恋人》。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
