一天上午，有人坠楼摔死在一辆货车上。负责调查的警探博登（克里斯·梅西纳 Chris Messina 饰）来到现场后发现第一现场并不在货车停靠的位置，而是在不远处的一栋大厦。与此同时，这栋大厦的一处电梯突然故障，悬停在20层附近，电梯中的三男两女被困。大厦保安派去的维修人 员也未能解决故障。封闭的电梯里，五人因持续被困而情绪焦躁并争执起来。就在此时，电梯内的灯突然熄灭了十几秒钟，短暂的黑暗过后，其中一名女郎的背部受伤流血不止。保安决定报警。 博登接到大厦保安报案之后赶赴监控室，正欲调动警力解救被困人员之时，电梯内的灯再次熄灭。灯亮之后，人们发现其中一名男子已被杀害，而凶手似乎只有可能是剩下的四人之一……

改编自卡夫卡未完成的长篇小说《美国》，但其关注的并非真实的美国，更像是没有详细年代的关于美国的寓言。卡尔•罗斯曼由于丑闻而接受其舅舅的邀请搬去美国，然而他无法摆脱欧洲大陆旧式习惯，更糟的是，欧洲的阶级结构无法让他通过自己的双手谋生。这一电影版关注资本主义社会创造的残酷而变幻莫测的阶级关系。同时忠于原著而未添加影片的结局。施特劳布夫妇风格的一贯操作与卡夫卡氛围的完美结合：中景固定机位，面无表情的演员，人物肢体和语言刻意僵硬，强调侧面特写，镜头推进及平移刻意突兀。由此我们可以寻求到改编卡夫卡作品的带实验性的可能。

Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen. Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan... "Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don. The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.

imdb Plot summary Born in a small town in the countryside surrounding Pistoia, Adriana is an attractive young girl who counts on using her looks to go places in the entertainment business in Rome. Moving to the capital, she works first of all in a hairdressing salon, then in a small cinema where she manages to get a job working in fancy dress. Meantime, she socializes with young men of the upper middle classes, who take her to parties and out on the town with the sole aim of taking advantage of her. Adriana knows their game, but plays along. In the meantime, she meets an agent called Cianfanna, a modest money-grubber who introduces her to a journalist friend of his so he can write an article on her. Having thus launched her career in advertising, Adriana decides to go home to visit her parents. Once home, however, she is distraught to learn of the death of her sister. Returning to Rome, she takes acting lessons, but during one lesson she suddenly faints: she is pregnant, with no idea of who the father of her child is. The days go by and Adriana tries to forget about her pregnancy, while sleeping with an increasingly long list of lovers. And yet, despite the fact these encounters are often less than enjoyable, at one point she actually falls in love: his name is Antonio and he's a decent young man from a respectable family, but still in love with a former girlfriend he is unable to forget…

1937年西班牙内战其间，德国战机应西班牙国民军政府的要求，向巴斯克城市格尔尼卡猛烈轰炸，造成严重伤亡。毕加索激于义愤，绘画了这有如炼狱般的惨状，着火的房子，惊惶失措的人畜，嚎哭的丧子之母，控诉着战争的残暴。为此，毕加索与独裁者佛朗哥决裂，流亡至巴黎，老死不还乡。这幅画原本收藏于美国大都会博物馆，佛朗哥Franco死后，遵毕加索遗言重返故国。 1936年，毕加索担任共和政府任命的普拉多美术馆名誉馆长期间，为保护艺术珍品，作出了自己的贡献。1937年初，他创作了蚀刻画《佛朗哥的梦和谎言》。这是一组连环漫画式的版画，共有18个画面，另加一首隐晦的、丑化佛朗哥的题诗。画家通过出售这组画的复制品将售款捐作共和政府的救济金。就在创作这组作品时，发生了"4月26日事件"。因此，这组画中的最后4个画面，与日后创作的Guernica《格尔尼卡》有关密切的联系。组画中的公牛在最后的画面中，抵伤了象征佛朗哥的马形怪物。该组画被复制后，法国当局作为宣传品，用飞机将其散发到了佛朗哥占领区。在此前不久，毕加索曾受委托为普拉多美术馆创作一幅大型壁画，作为该年夏季在巴黎召开的万国博览会中西班牙馆的装饰画。在他还未构思的时候，发生了骇人听闻的"4月26日事件"。这就是德国法西斯的空军，悍然轰炸了西班牙北部巴斯克的重镇格尔尼卡，造成了和平居民的伤亡。当这一消息传到巴黎后，愤怒的毕加索怀着"对那把西班牙沈浸在痛苦与死亡的海洋中的好战集团的厌恶和鄙视"，立即以这一事件为题材，只用了6个星期的时间，于6月5日创作完成了351×782厘米的巨幅壁画《格尔尼卡》。该画以后期立体主义语言表现了战争带给人类的灾难，鞭鞑了法西斯。该画在巴黎亮相后，受到了广泛的关注。1938年，它还在挪威、英国、美国等进行了巡回展出。在德国占领法国期间，毕加索不向德国法西斯低头、不为利诱所动，表现了高尚的民族气节。表示以自己的绘画作为『抵抗和打击敌人的战斗武器』。

纪录片，用高更的画作连缀而成的简要生平。

一部有关阴谋政变的豪华传记片，取材自1930年代法国的一个真实的故事。风流潇洒的主人公是一位法国籍俄国犹太人，他曾以诈骗罪被捕入狱，出来后改名换姓四处行骗，从事非法的投机活动，最终控制了全巴黎的新闻出版界、跑马场、政界以及豪华的社交场所。他还是个不折不扣的赌徒。最终丑闻败露，与之一起倒台的还有许多受牵连的政府官员。他在追捕中不得不自杀。而这一事件同时也暴露了法国政界的内幕和丑闻，加剧了内部派系的斗争，使得法国政府经历了一次严重的政治危机，差点就垮台了。 影片通过这样一个在上流社会靠行骗耍手段而飞黄腾达的骗子故事，来检视在那段经济不景气、人心彷徨的年代中人性的趋向和人的精神状况。中间还插入了苏联流亡人士托洛茨基来法国寻求庇护的内容，跟史塔维斯基组成鲜明的对比。编导目的在于暗喻法国政治取向的两种极端方向。桑德海姆的音乐恰到好处地配合了画面。

1957年，法国女演员（埃曼纽尔•莉娃）来到日本广岛拍摄一部宣传和平的电影时，邂逅当地的建筑工程师（冈田英次），两人在短暂时间内忘记各自的有夫之妇、有妇之夫身份，产生忘我恋情。 然而因为广岛这块土地的特殊性，两人在激情相拥时，女演员脑海中总会闪现若干有关战争的残酷画面，建筑工程师也常令她回忆起她在战时于法国小城内韦尔与一名德国占领军的爱情。电影拍摄结束后，被纠缠的女演员感觉自己唯一能做的，是在有限的时间里，更加投入地把身体交于建筑工程师。

电影讲述了无政府主义法国青年提出一个口号：“停下来思考”并以这个口号为出发点,整个巴黎不再工作城市陷入混乱，于是.....

影片主角是一个78岁的英国著名作家，他身患重病却仍然酗酒成性，口不择言。夜晚不时陷于噩梦的缠绕中，令他想入非非，一边琢磨着他最后一部作品的情节构思，一边回忆着他的往事。于是，噩梦、他的想象加上往事的回忆相互混淆在一起，共同构成了他作品的故事框架。 影片将文学创作的过程跟幻想、愤怒等融为一体，制造了一个精致的弗洛伊德哑谜。这是雷奈的第一部用英语拍摄的影片。剧本比较拗口罗嗦，有较重的文学味，影片被认为是雷奈的杰作，博加德的演出尤为精湛，但一般观众可能会觉得单调乏味。 Clive Langham (Sir John Gielgud) spends one tormenting night in his bed suffering from health problems and thinking up a story based on his relatives. He is a bitter man and he shows, through flashbacks, how spiteful, conniving and treacherous his family is. But is this how they really are or is it his own vindictive slant on things?
