Detektive (1969)
Detektive WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
other title: 侦探 / Detective …
Munich in the late Sixties must have been the coolest place on earth. At least when you look at some of the movies that were made around that time. "Detektive" is Rudolf Thome's feature debut, one year before he shot "Rote Sonne" (Red Sun) Link , and naturally it was a movie about girls and guns (and two cool dudes, proto slackers). The story is almost forgettable, it's all about the style. And, of course, Uschi Obermaier, the star of "Rote Sonne", whom Thome had discovered for "Detektive". (Consequently, for most of the time, Uschi runs around in her undies) The dialogues are hilarious, super deadpan, the crime plot is ridiculous, the cinemathography (b/w and scope) beautiful. Heavily indebted to the French Novelle Vague and Hollywood's classic gangster films, "Detektive" is miles away from the German New Wave around Wenders, Kluge and Fassbinder. That's what makes this little flic, shot with friends on weekends (and between tours through the bars in the Schwabing district), so special. In the lead, the great Marquard Bohm, something like the German Belmondo (a face like no other) and Uli Lommel, who went on to direct the German serial killer film "Die Zärtlichkeit der Wölfe" and numerous Hollywood b movies. Nuff said. Enjoy this very special gem!

激情的天堂 (2000)
Paradiso - Sieben Tage mit sieben Frauen Douban
other title: Paradiso - Sieben Tage mit sieben Frauen
德国电影《天堂》讲作曲家Adam六十岁生日的聚会。在梅克伦堡农场的天地之间,他经营着自己天堂般的生活,与树交谈,汲水浇园。年轻的第七任妻子和一对小儿女的陪伴之下,他感到一生行将走向终点,希望写一部关于过去、现在和未来的交响乐。在这秋日渐近的季节,他决定同自己最亲爱的人一起庆祝生日,留作晚年的纪念。把自己前后最重要的七个女人召集到一起,也许并不是个好主意,可是在田野里、在湖水和芦苇荡中、在和煦的秋风中,也许一切恩怨都算不得什么。他曾经走过很多地方,遇到很多人,但没人比这七个女人对他来说更为重要。他曾和她们分享过爱、友谊和其他美好与艰辛。如今,他离她们近在咫尺又远在天涯,重逢仿佛是一次重演,怨恨化为和解,未来托与不可知。这是一部关于流逝和谅解的影片,一部相当自恋和妄想的影片,可是假如只是拿来感受,果真美到极至。生也有涯,当我们六十多岁的时候,也许只是碌碌之辈,在庞然大城中如蝼蚁般生活,既无闲暇,也无情绪去对自己的一生作平静的回顾。电影似乎是普通人生的安慰,无论对于谁,都是蛋糕中最好吃的一块,做蛋糕的麻烦和饭后恼人的收拾整理都被切除。可是,一生走过来,目光敏锐又怀有善意的人,总会有很多难以忘怀的人、事、物,假如真的把他们纠合到一起,真不知会是何种情形。因而,这部平和、单调的影片,在我看来却是一部充满幻想和不可能情形的故事,其不可能的程度,甚至要高于变种人和外星生物的故事。电影常常带人进入一种境况,并不讲为什么,却看人们如何表现和应对,如同《土拨鼠日》中的时间停止。可是生活何尝不是如此,假设我们生在宋代或者玛雅王国,又将如何是好?无论何时何地,总有那么多美好的事情做不到、不可能,电影把它们活生生的制造出来,也就成了真实。至少,我宁愿相信这样的故事,它们让人心安。 青年,中年,老年,在人欲和伦理的双重制约下,慢慢展开一段故事。身为普通人的我们可以算笔账,看看自己在这社会中的位置,把自己生活中的大事小情都写在纸上,把自己常去的地方、常坐的车、常想的事情列个表,常看的电影、常听的歌、常见的人归归类,我们会发现生活有多么无聊。所谓的艺术家们,尝试打破这种天经地义般的禁锢,试图不断过不一样的生活,却往往陷入矫情。人只有在所知更趋广博、所思更趋深厚的时候,才能部分的摆脱造物的安排,部分的享有自由。所谓的自由,其实就是选择的可能性。当我们的思维受限于一时一地,就难免做个时代的匹夫匹妇,一生戴着镣铐跳舞。只有当这种可能趋于无穷大,人才能真正的活得像个人样。如今,我们觉得自己是异于动物了,可是欲望和贪心还在燃烧着有限的精力,甚至成为社会前进的能量。我猜想,也许所有的精神病症,都是人在走向真正的人的路上的过渡性表现,而真正的进化,是以欲望的革除为终点。神的境界不是上天入地,而是不以物喜,不以己悲。为了达到那个境界,我们需要忍受欲望的煎熬,或者也中途享受着它。这里面似乎有辩证法,但以我辈的智力上不能洞悉,所以想不明白也还释然。唯一不能释怀的,就是同在这个地球上,为什么有那样的地方,人们可以生活的那么自在,有那么多的可能性,那么得体,而风景也有如天堂。无论是出于何种阶层,人们眼下都争着出国定居,目的固然各不相同,对美好的向往是一样的。我辈精力有限,财力空虚,能坐在家里上网看看电影读读书,沉溺在别人和自己绘制的美好世界里,就觉得生活已无奢求,或者后半生不存在亦无不可。奈何时光飞逝,每个人都要从青年走向老年,如同主人公亚当所说:“十四岁的时候我在书本上看到人生自四十岁始的话,感到非常不解;如今我六十岁了,再不那么想了。”在影片的末尾,画外音说: “买一座小房子、生一个儿子、种一棵树,亚当现在拥有一切”。人们在困局中一路走来,不管是脆弱的还是坚强的,不管是细腻的还是粗糙的,都不能不思考些问题,产生倦意,或者重新振作,得到很多,体会很多,但最后什么也不会带走。所以还是密斯说得对:“少就是多”。
