视频简介
Greece, in the 1920's, is occupied by the Turks. The country is in turmoil with entire villages uprooted. The site of the movie is a Greek village that conducts a passion play each year. The leading citizens of the town, under the auspices of the Patriarch, choose those that will play the parts in the Passion. A stuttering shepherd is chosen to play Jesus. The town butcher (who wanted to be Jesus) is chosen as Judas. The town prostitute is chosen as Mary Magdalene. The rest of the disciples are also chosen. As the movie unfolds, the Passion Play becomes a reality. A group of villagers, uprooted by the war and impoverished, arrive at the village led by their priest. The wealthier citizens of the town want nothing with these people and manipulate a massacre. In the context of the 1920's each of the characters plays out their biblical role in actuality.。贝内黛塔是个十六岁的女孩。一个略显怪异的“家庭”刚刚搬进她所在的小镇，即将闯入她的生活。这个“家庭”嘈杂而非同寻常——包括一位父亲和一位母亲、一个寻求庇护的新移民、一个带着小女儿的前妓女、一位年轻的囚犯、两个残疾者……而作为市长的女儿，贝内黛塔不得不适应一个她不喜欢的社会角色。然而，随着她与其中一位“家人”凯文坠入爱河，贝内黛塔将引领我们进入一个“边缘人”的世界。尽管每个人看起来都有着这样那样的“问题”，但实际上他们都只是普通人。与此同时，整个城镇的人们都在为即将举行的市政选举准备着。觥筹交错与嬉笑怒骂间，一切都在一个艰难的夜晚达到高潮。。拍完《开心地走吧》事隔三年，日本人对黑帮爱情片热潮未减，小津再碰这个类型，心态和技巧已别于从前，人物感情转趋复杂与悲情，画面一景一物的安排尽见巧思。延续前作角色，讲黑帮大佬与一好一坏两女人之间的情仇，但这次黑帮与坏女人同给好女人吸引过去，黑帮最后亦没有离弃坏女人。也许为了增加剧情说服力，小津找来田中绢代做女主角，坏女孩果然恶得含蓄，有时更会楚楚可怜。可惜绢代刚演过深入民心的《伊豆舞娘》，坏女人形像不给当时观众受落。小津将黑帮片类型玩得出神入化，不少人觉得这是他默片巅峰之作。(第27届香港国际电影节)。
