春天春暖苏比埃拉可以算得上是阿根廷电影界的得奖专业户了吧, 自81年《天堂的征服》以来, 他的每一部影片都几乎为他赢得了近20项大大小小的国际奖项, 并为他获得了众多国际声誉, 其在阿根廷电影界的地位估计能赶得上库斯图里卡在南斯拉夫电影的地位了, 而两人的电影风格却也都带有强烈的魔幻现实主义色彩. 在七八部已经D出过DVD的苏比埃拉作品中, 我最中意的可能还是86年这部和92年的《心之阴暗面》.

回复 :故事從夜晚的某條小街展開。陰郁的狀況,背景為爵士樂。然後拉到一個叫stardust的娛樂場所,常駐樂隊如往常一樣在演奏。。。鏡頭在cabaret裡面轉了一圈,定在了遠處某桌的一對男女身上。女人衣著光鮮,似乎是職業夜總會女郎;男人帶著厚大的墨鏡,面無表情地欣賞著薩克斯。。。。。。。
回复 :Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals."King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
