《谍中谍8》：

"The Witch Burnt Alive"　　After a very long, but visually arresting animated opening credits sequence, Luchino Visconti (Death in Venice) directs the first story, which is the longest of the five, taking approximately a third of the film's running length. Mangano plays a superstar actress and model who travels to a mountain resort, only to find the well-to-do inhabitants have prejudices and preconceived notions about her based on her public persona. The women are all jealous and the men all want to sleep with her, but all Mangano wants is to be left alone. It's a mostly somber satirical piece, but story-wise, it languishes in its modest idea a bit long, becoming inconsequential to all but those fascinated by the realities of being famous.　　"Community Spirit"　　Bolognini's piece isn't really a story. It's more of a visual gag, in a short segment that features Mangano offering to take an injured man to a hospital, driving him at breakneck speed throughout the city, but not stopping at locations where he might find aid. I won't give away the punchline here, but it succeeds in being amusing, even if it's the kind of thing that only is interesting the first time through.　　"The Earth Seen from the Moon"　　The esteemed writer/director, Pier Paolo Pasolini (Salo), crafts the middle segment, which is the most artistic and memorable of the five. Reminiscent in style to "Don Quixote", a recently widowed father and his son travel around the country in search of a new wife and mother, and after a long period, they discover the literally speechless Mangano. She brings joy into their lives, but they are poor, and in order to find a better life for themselves, they concoct a scheme to try to make some quick cash. The story is contrived, and not completely interesting, but the outlandish performances, artwork, and costumes does evoke great charm and likeability. Although mute, it's probably the most appealing of Mangano's five performances, and Toto is terrific.　　"The Sicilian"　　Franco Rossi directs the fourth an shortest piece, a straight-forward revenge story that comes and goes before it ever has a chance of becoming interesting. It's violent, but easily the least satisfying of the five stories.　　"A Night Like Any Other"　　Eastwood's appearance is clearly the biggest attraction here, which was filmed in between the Sergio Leone "Dollars" trilogy. It's an enjoyable departure from his normal roles, playing a comedic romantic lead, and he is affably fun to watch. Famed Italian director, Vittorio de Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D.) does a masterful job with the story, which perfectly blends the mundane and the fantasy in a visually satisfying way. The story is about a bored housewife (Mangano, of course), who tries in vain to get her husband to realize that he is not as romantic as he used to be. The scene is interspersed with comedic romance sequences revolving around the couple's past romantic interludes, and dreams of how their lives should be.

究竟理想和现实可否共存？看来这是此片编导最想探讨的问题。「威基基兄弟」本是一队四人的乐队组合，但是成员都先后因为种种原因相继离队，众人都得向现实低头，知道单是理想实在不能够医肚，也不能够维持生活，唯独男主角Sung-woo不肯向现实低头，无论环境有多恶劣，包括要他受辱，他也不放弃理想，誓要继续其乐手的职业。但单是坚持是否就足够？只见Sung-woo每次演奏时都目无表情，矛盾的心情可见，看来他又不是真的这样享受这种所谓的「理想」生活。相反，和Sung-woo一样，理想成为职业乐手的酒店打杂（柳昇范）却吃得开得多，他和Sung-woo一样，最后也能在酒店卖唱，却表现得非常投入，因为他懂得变通，为自己的表演注入商业原素，而非只求孤芳自赏，所以能够得到老闆和观众的支持。透过酒店打杂和Sung-woo的比较，编导把为理想的艺术家所面对的难题以调子灰暗的剧情呈现出来，感觉令人心酸和无奈。　　从一个角度来看，可以尝试把两人的比较放在韩国的电影界来看。近年韩国有不少有抱负和才华的电影人，他们不是不懂拍纯粹艺术电影，但是为了能扬名和让更多观众认识自己的电影，也为了能找到投资者，往往要为电影加添不少商业原素，才能取得成功，这种情况犹如戏内酒店打杂一样，如果你要在这个圈子生存，就要了解游戏规则。硬是要搞孤芳自赏的话，不是不行，但最终只会如Sung-woo一样被逼回到乡下地方继续其事业，并不能在大围圈子内发围。对于这群有抱负和才华的电影人而言，Sung-woo的遭遇绝对是他们在现实所面对的窘境的最佳写照。这是进退两难的局面，要冲开去实在不容易。这亦解释了为什麽电影海报以配角的柳昇范为主，因为他在此片的作用是举足轻重，也是唯一取得成功的一人。　　此片不少演员都是资深舞台剧演员，演出电影经验不多，但是凭着丰富的舞台经验，把戏内笑中有泪的角色性格演活，犹其主角LeeEol，表情不多却成功塑造出主角无奈的性情。新人柳昇范（导演柳昇完的弟弟）亦充满活力，为此片沉鬱的气氛增添不少生气。　　此片剧情甚富馀韵，是一齣拍得有意思的电影，只不过风格上偏向闷艺片典型，并不是容易为大众接受的类型，加上全片歌曲甚多（歌词对剧情发展甚为重要，记谨留意字幕），如果你不喜欢音乐或文艺片的话，未必能坐毕全程。谍中谍8青衣老者看向萧南风，摇了摇头：“世子，我知道你心里不舒服，但，你应该明白人死不能复生，神侯若还活着，这十年怎么可能一点音讯也没有？神侯死的时候，你才六岁，如今，你已经十六岁了。这十年来，一切都变了。”

英国第四频道2004年出品的大获好评的癫狂医务类喜剧，在看了Grey's Anatomy，House，Scrubs等美国医务剧后，让我们换换口味，也来品尝一下带英伦风味的医务剧大餐。该剧的第一季共9集。目前第二季正在播出中。　　故事是从外科病房新来的‘凯罗琳’医生第一天入院，不地不在自己车上蓬头垢面过夜开始的。随后她逐渐认识了她那些古古怪怪的同事，‘盖·塞克里’一个瑞士混血儿，伶牙俐齿、多才多艺，但异常讨厌女人；‘艾伦’虽是整个病房性情最古怪的放射线医生，又口吃得厉害，但却很合适人事经理‘科洛’的胃口，这为喜怒无常的科洛小姐总是担忧自己会人老珠黄；却又疯狂恋上人气极旺的‘麦克’医生；还有哪个倒霉的助理医生‘马丁’，这些怪医生天使汇集于一院，会怎样呢？哈哈，你就准备好暴笑吧！

本片讲述伊朗三个不同年龄段女性的故事：1）小女孩哈娃（Fatemeh Cherag Akhar 饰）即将迎来9岁的生日，过了生日后，她就必须遮上面纱，不能和男孩们接触了。离生日还有一个小时，她决定和自己的好朋友共度这最后的时光；2）阿和（Shabnam Toloui 饰）逃离施暴的丈夫，和一群女伴参加长途自行车比赛。一路上，她的亲人、朋友接连赶来，试图阻止她叛逆的举动；3）老婆婆霍拉（Azizeh Sedighi 饰）来到一座城市内疯狂购物，并雇佣一群小孩搬运，但她似乎忘记了什么东西……　　本片荣获2000年芝加哥国际电影节最佳处女作奖、2000年釜山国际电影节新浪潮奖、2000年多伦多国际电影节发现奖第二名、2000年威尼斯电影节最佳处女作奖。
