回复 :伊朗导演贾法·潘纳希(Jafar Panahi)正在拍摄一部儿童影片,影片讲述打着石膏的小女孩米娜·穆罕默德·汉妮(Mina Mohammad Khani)放学后没有等到接她的母亲,于是自己独自回家的故事。然而在拍摄公交车一场戏时,却突然发生状况。米娜死死地盯着摄像机,突然大喊“我不拍了!”任凭导演如何劝说,这个小女孩就是不愿继续,转而独自离开。由于疏忽,米娜身上的微型麦克风未来得及摘除,导演当即决定尾随米娜,跟拍她回家的全过程。虚幻与现实的界限就在这一刻模糊了……本片荣获1998年伊斯坦布尔国际电影节金郁金香奖、1997年洛迦诺国际电影节金豹奖、1998年新加坡国际电影节最佳亚洲导演奖。
回复 :2003年,伊拉克战争爆发。萨达姆政府受到重创,大规模杀伤性武器(WMD)成为美国出兵伊拉克的有力借口。罗伊·米勒(马特·戴蒙 Matt Damon 饰)所率领的小分队奉命在伊拉克境内寻找WMD,然而无数次的搜寻皆无所获,这令米勒对线报的来源心生疑惑。某次行动中,他遇到当地的独腿男子法哈迪,从对方口中米勒得知一众伊拉克关键人物正在某地集会,行动中意外发现扑克牌通缉令上的艾尔·拉威(Yigal Naor 饰)也在其中,而艾尔·拉威似乎和美国政府有着错综复杂的关系。米勒不顾劝阻展开独立调查,发现所谓的WMD不过是包藏了无数丑恶真相的谎言而已……本片根据《华盛顿邮报》驻巴格达记者拉吉夫·产德拉斯卡兰(Rajiv Chandrasekaran)的作品《翡翠城的帝王生活:伊拉克绿色地带深处》改编。
回复 :Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after.Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development.Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards.No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career.A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag.Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival.In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
