◎ 简　　介： 看点: 拍摄于越战期间，通过5段不同的故事表达出五位导演对当时政局的看法 第一部分的主题是冷漠，楼下一桩抢劫杀人的案正在进行，楼上所有人都熟视无睹。街边发生一起交通事故，没有任何车停下来救人。直到在警察的帮助下一位司机出现，他理所当然地拒绝，但是迫于无奈只好就范，却于中途逃走，故事原来是这样的。 第二部分是一段行为艺术表演。临死的人进行死前最后的忏悔，很有意思，比现在的好多所谓行为艺术好看多了。 第三部分是帕索里尼的贡献：他的最爱演员Ninetto Davoli漫步在大街上，手握着一大扎纸花去见情人。一路走来充满阳光，这个世界的另一些地方却是另一中摸样。 第四部分是戈达尔的“爱”。有两种含义：政治层面的故事聚焦在古巴，有点自我批评的感觉。 第五部分，大学教室里正在上课，一群自称学生会的人闯了进来，声称要改革对文化的压迫，于是辩论展开。 ◎ 关于影片： 意大利/法国1969年五位大师(贝尔托鲁奇、帕索里尼、戈达尔、贝洛奇奥、卡罗里扎尼)联手合导的经典名作，荣获1969年柏林影展提名金熊奖。 导演们的信条，拒绝把电影当作是故事；至少在此说：并不是因为你看多了电影就懂得了“电影”；第七艺术就好比在欧几里德之前的数学；而且导演并没有表示说“新浪潮”就是欧几里德。
