剧情简介: 代表作《萨利赫》取得成功之后,导演埃夫莱姆·吉辛籍《阿宾卡》一片再次创造了一个懒惰、天真、诙谐可爱的喜剧人物形象——阿宾卡。阿宾卡(托波尔饰)是个孩子气的男人,他不喜欢劳动,也没有正式工作,每天在酒馆和大街上东游西逛,靠耍小聪明混日子,竟也乐得逍遥自在;他爱上了一位美丽的街头女巡警露蒂(吉拉·阿尔玛戈饰),两人情投意和,经历一番波折后,阿宾卡终于得到姑娘的爱情。影片中的一个抒情段落表现了这个“反英雄”的内心世界:阿宾卡和好朋友约赛夫(一个在酒馆兜售小百货的商贩)躺在草地上晒太阳,阿宾卡在暖洋洋的阳光下情不自禁吐露心曲,他痛恨秩序和纪律,崇尚无拘无束、自由享乐的生活。在导演吉辛看来,阿宾卡身上透射着某种反中产阶级的浪漫气质,并富有机智幽默的民间智慧。 影片解读: 本片出自以色列著名讽刺作家埃夫莱姆·吉辛之手,本片亦对以色列某些社会现象(如彩票,权力机构内部互相倾轧等)做出温和讽刺。

This is a heartwarming little comedy from Israeli director Ephraim Kishon. Shaike Ophir plays Azulai, a Hulot-like character who is a bit too nice to be a proper policeman. While his friends have all gone onto the higher ranks of the force, Azulai has always been stuck where he is. In fact, he's only there due to his 'friends in high places' pity. This is mainly a comedy due to Azulai's antics but it's not all laughs. Recommended for any fan of Tati and alike. --zoneyoutwonk ________________________________ Born in Budapest, Hungary, as Ferenc Hoffmann, Ephraim Kishon studied sculpture and painting, and then began publishing humourous essays and writing for the stage. After 1945 he changed his surname from Hoffmann to Kishont. He emigrated to Israel in 1949, where an immigration officer gave him the name Ephraim Kishon. Acquiring a mastery of Hebrew with remarkable speed, he started a regular satirical column in the easy-Hebrew daily, Omer, after only two years in the country. From 1952, he wrote the column "Had Gadya" in the daily Ma'ariv. Devoted largely to political and social satire but including essays of pure humour, it became one of the most popular columns in the country. His extraordinary inventiveness, both in the use of language and the creation of character, was applied also to the writing of innumerable sketches for theatrical revues. Azulai is a soft-hearted and incompetent policeman in Jaffa. His superiors want to send him to early retirement, but he would like to stay on the force. The criminals of Jaffa who also don't want to see him leave try to find a way to help him keep his job.
