Here's a modern-day film noir in which you're never sure what's real and what isn't real. There is a possibility you may get tired of guessing and give up on this film 3/4ths of the way through, as I almost did but it worth finishing. It also was better the second time around
The problem is just too many flashbacks. If some of those scenes were not replayed so often, or a few of the many twists eliminated, it would have been a super movie. It still was fascinating in parts. It grabs you, and you can't stop watching to see what the real story is. Along the way, is a bunch of nice colors and some nice film noir-type in the beginning and then during the ending credits.
"Interesting neo-noir, I think more people should see it, they may be surprised.
I like discovering these types of movies. It's flawed, but it's in the pure tradition of noir. Low-budget b-movies, made by the original independent production company (Republic Pictures, dating back to the 30's and the low-budget westerns, serials and crime-dramas of that era).
1994 was their last year (well, they relaunched in 1986, after being inactive in the 60's and 70's), so this is perhaps among the last movie they made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_Pictures
In a way, a nice conclusion to this always minor independent studio's history. Now part of Viacom/Paramounth. "

三星半,随着剧情推进部分情节处理叫人摸不着头脑,谜底几乎在意料之中,女主角劳拉·弗林·鲍尔当年着实很吸引人,难怪男主色心大动。
就不明白一点,男主从昏迷到苏醒一年多时间,芳邻就不能去报个警把坏蛋抓起来嘛!
当年正大剧场居然可以演这样的电影。Glenn叔叔有种说不出来的魅力。剧本还是可以的,卡司也不错,作为一部电视电影,剪辑制作太水了,尴尬的节奏感。
正大剧场
猜错了,一直以为,所有人围着男主角撒了一个大谎。
定位普通情色凶杀案的话,虚虚实实拍的还可以,前半乱糟糟的梦境后半逐渐回忆起真实。解套后的谜底略无趣,始终觉得这种故事就是生活在中产阶级阳光社区太无聊了幻想出的产物。不知道换林奇会拍成啥样。三星半。
8,90年代的电视电影还是涌现出了很多有意思的片子。这部制作要是精良一点,换个好点的导演可以拍出林奇的感觉。
剧本几重反转还是有点意思的,就是导演和演员活儿都糙了点……
不错的悬疑片,把弗洛伊德梦的解析阐述的蛮精彩,可惜结局露底太多,如果稍微遮盖下或许可以比肩穆赫兰道。
男人从模糊恐怖的梦中醒来,靠着间断零散的记忆,在现实与虚幻中寻找真相。这样的故事今天看来已经不新鲜,比如有名的《记忆碎片》。我想希区柯克的《贵妇失踪记》应该算是这类型比较早的片子吧。这种电影起初看起来让人一头雾水,通过插叙和倒叙,加上场景重复和一些闪回,悬疑气息十足,此片也是如此。还以为撞到个冷门神作,可惜前面是故弄玄虚,后面要开始解密时已经一切了然,急于解释谜底,乱了节奏,草草收尾。“芳邻”用的好,长的好,身材也好,如果能有这样的邻居,我一定主动跟她打招呼。突然想到当初看不懂的《妖夜慌踪》,如果让大卫林奇拍,档次应该会高点。
看的时候就在怀疑,是作家的神经出现问题,令整个故事不停重新来过,在真相之后的结尾,果然证实了这一点。另,Lara很美。
这剪辑未免太破碎了。
挺有趣的,百转千回的剧情,结局弱了一点。
小时候最早的恐怖片,记得男主句在镜子前,突然流鼻血,然后狂沙将他掩埋,突然他的妻子问他是不是又犯病了,他清醒过来,自己还在镜子前,然后果真开始流鼻血。。
这竟然是个happy ending?!对不起我可能剧透了但,这居然是个happy ending……!!
剧本不错,如果换个好一点的导演估计片子会更好
正大剧场~俺好像第一次知道了还有种电影叫悬疑片!看傻我了~
就那几个镜头来回闪,像印度家庭伦理片的手艺,看得人心情烦躁。拍阳光挺美的,很梦幻,其中很多场景的对白也像半梦半醒之间的呓语,蛮符合男主那一年来的状态。
这必须mark啊!吓得我多少天晚上睡不着觉啊!现在还能记起空荡荡的房间。。。
氛围营造得好,但是吓人基本靠突然。剧情什么的,无新意。
