Plot Summary:1961. Luxemburger Thomas Vlassenroot deserted the French Foreign Legion during the Algiers Putsch. His lieutenant, Fraser, initiated the desertion for the two of them, Fraser believing he could do more for the French working for an underground organization. However, Thomas readily admits that he no longer has any political motivations or affiliations, and thus is hiding out from the authorities in Algiers. Fraser offers him a proposition: help him kidnap Lyonais lawyer, Dominique Servet, who is in Algiers to defend two Algerian nationalists. Fraser will mastermind the job, but Thomas is required to help him both carry out the kidnapping, as well as stand guard over Dominique for one week. She is only one of two kidnap victims that will be held, each victim with a guard apiece, the other victim's guard being Amerio, a fellow member of Fraser's organization. Unlike Fraser and Amerio, Thomas does the job as a mercenary for pay: the F60,000 he needs to be able to get back home to Luxembourg. His want to go to Luxembourg is despite he not knowing if there is any future for him there, beyond going back to his childhood home, where his mother is taking care of his infant daughter. After the successful kidnapping and as the week progresses, Thomas feels compelled not only to assist Dominique, but also help her escape as he has fallen in love with her. He has to accomplish this task against the threat of Fraser and Amerio's watchful eyes. He is able to do so, but sustains a serious abdominal wound in the process. As a wounded Thomas tries to make his way back to Luxembourg, he has to elude Fraser and his colleagues. But Thomas may feel further compelled to reconnect with Dominique in Lyon. If he does, the question becomes what she will think in him doing so.
蛮无聊的。史密斯the queen is dead封面的出处。
The Queen is Dead.
故事:Thomas Vlassenroot是1961年起義期間阿爾及利亞法國外籍軍團的逃兵。托馬斯同意為美洲國家組織工作的前中尉綁架在阿爾及爾為捍衛一些阿爾及利亞民族主義者的律師多米尼克·塞維特,然而他愛上了多米尼克,並幫助她逃回了法國。他的OAS同事追捕他們,最後他終於在多米尼克的丈夫幫助下越過了通往盧森堡的道路到達他的農場,發現他的小女兒之後倒地死亡,死前還替自己閉上雙目。這部電影是阿倫廸龍自己的公司的製作所以他在片中可以不賣帥。
第一次碰到法英雙軌同音,用我捉急的英文水平看的比梅維爾的片還要認真。Thomas個愛撩Maria,解救了律師的政治家老婆,二人來了一段露水情緣。I love life, I love children, money, gambling, dancing, roses, my mother. I love dogs, women who smoke, who don’t smoke. Living one’s life. That’s all there is to it. 片中的自我式告白。
三星:更喜欢后半段的公路风格,身心俱乏,谁可相依,不可预知的归乡之旅....
主要就盯着阿兰德龙的颜看了
又领便当! 电影果然不知所云——大概主要因为没字幕。跑去看IMDB,才捋明白谁是谁,在干什么。
法國老電影簡直部部經典,是藝術品有深度有審美。演員是演員。最近打算多看看洗洗眼睛。
前半阿爾及利亞,後半法國公路,雖然維基表示本片是德龍的失敗作,但個人覺得不壞,德龍時而傲嬌時而霸道的表現拿捏不壞。和FFL和OAS有那麼一點關係。
60年代最初的这几年把很多Melville风格的东西都捷足先登
