Middle class student Bob Letellier enters a new world when he meets Alain, a free-thinking rebel who, along with his group of young Parisians, has opted for a life of instant gratification instead of work and commitment. At a party, Bob meets a young woman, Mic, who appears to be just as carefree and cynical as Alain. Mic's only dream is to own a luxury car, and with Bob's help, she manages to find the money to but it. Mic's friend Clo discovers she is pregnant and, not knowing who the father is, she asks Bob to marry her. When they next meet at a party, Bob and Mic deny that they have any feelings for one another - a declaration that soon leads to tragedy...
Marcel Carné is widely regarded as one of the standard bearers of French quality cinema of the 1930s and 1940s, responsible for such masterpieces as Quai des brumes (1938) and Les Enfants du Paradis (1945). How ironic then that, in 1958, towards the end of his film-making career, he should make a film which dared to portray the attitudes and behaviour of the 1950s youth, in a way that effectively captures the mood and sentiment of the time.
Les Tricheurs was a hugely controversial film, not least because of its blatant depiction of adolescent free-love, and was even banned in some regions of France. It also received some intensely unfavourable reviews, most notably from the young hotheads on the Cahiers du cinéma such as François Truffaut who cited this film as a prime example of the decline of French cinema into mediocrity. In spite of all this negative press, the film proved to be an astonishing commercial success, attracting five million cinema-goers, and was awarded the Grand Prix du Cinéma français in 1958.
Whilst Les Tricheurs is not as flawless as Carné's earlier masterpieces, it is nonetheless a significant work, having the power to both shock and move its audience, whilst having great entertainment value. It evokes the mood of its time in a way that few French films of this period did, depicting young people as pleasure-seeking rebels, rejecting the austerity and discipline of the previous generation whilst pursuing a life without cares, responsibilities or love. Similarities with James Dean's films of the 1950s (most notably Rebel without a Cause) are apparent, although Carné's treatment of young people is far more abstract - in his film they merely symbolise a world that has lost its way, more or less victims of post-war prosperity. Although the young people in Les Tricheurs lack the authenticity to be totally credible, the film does make an important, and indeed quite disturbing point, about where the permissive society may be heading.
Much of the pleasure of the film is in the performances from its four lead actors, Jacques Charrier, Pascale Petit, Laurent Terzieff and Andréa Parisy, although only Terzieff is really convincing in his role. Marcel Carné originally considered Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo for the parts of Bob and Alain respectively, before opting for Charrier and Terzieff. As a consolation, Carné offered Belmondo a smaller part in the film - alas too small for the actor to be noticed by the public. Belmondo's breakthrough had to wait until the following year when he starred in Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary A bout de souffle, a film which offers a very different perspective of the youth generation.

“我们在地狱之门见”
柯南伯格是真的对（被割裂的）人体有着近乎神圣的着迷，而平和稳定摄影则将这种美感与神圣准确传递给了观众（不管是否被接受）至于表达，不能说完全理解了，感受到了一丝现代科技与政治不太光鲜的链接，以及宿命论式的身体进化悲观论。柯南伯格（化身为影片中男主角）先是悲观，然后流着泪接受。
1.5 / 倒也勉强能放到艾格斯重述传说故事的脉络里去。只不过完全没有前两部那种重构语气的决心，而只有改个情节然后吼些一句话意图的表层罢了。以及建议男一男二的片段单独剪个片子吧，不需要全程假高潮地搞这么冗长靴靴。
可以消化塑料到底是变异还是进化？
导演一以贯之的风格，让电影自始至终都渗透着潮湿且肮脏的暴力和美感。它不是一个简单的王子复仇，它更像是一场在无尽暴力和血腥笼罩之下、无限轮回的命运传说。
一群农民/山贼/海盗之间的持械斗殴厮杀，口口相传成为了另一群没有历史的人祭奠IP。4/5处时，只有WTF萦绕在脑中。大腮帮子的妮可基德曼，终究还是不如花瓶娜奥米沃茨美。平庸就是平庸——果然是灯塔导演。22/05/12

这种导演拿到更高预算应该是一件好事，可是就像《灯塔》里解构普罗米修斯令我不齿，还原王子复仇的原型我亦看不见生存还是毁灭的答卷，又或者，艾格斯的答案过于反文明且黑暗，我不想看见？
“This is the last tear you will shed in weakness.”
牛逼!上半年看到的为数不多的好电影。改编自《哈姆雷特》，但故事的说服力和人物的可信度比莎翁几百年前的剧本更高，一个半小时之后，剧情迎来一波反转，导演渐渐亮了出了底牌——野蛮文明之下的社会只不过是靠内部斗争加以更迭，这样的文明终究会被灭亡，而更高级的文明是像基督一样，用爱和宽容去进化这个世界。不过它和以往影史上那些直接赞美主的经典宗教电影并不一样，它通过刻画野蛮的文明，间接证明基督文明的包容性。艾格斯真正走向成熟的作品，以上总结出来的表达比他前作更为成熟，而这个导演对民俗一直以来的深入研究和那些充满神秘感的视听语言也更成熟地跟主题契合，我很看好这个导演接下来的发展。
导演把肌肉、刀锋、血腥融入到一个莎翁剧中，用他擅长的宗教议题（命运女神、女武神与王国命运），引入运动镜头、旋转镜头、迷雾等把几个单一话剧舞台（远景定格）串联，带来感官式正剧。不错，这年头拍正剧的人太少了，能拉到中型投资不容易。比最后的决斗好，完整且处理女性的方式不楞，但内核过于简单，可能并不讨喜。还喜欢几次夜景的处理方式，尤其是直拍夜景或简单调色，想起了《白鲸记》
又看了哈姆雷特，以为是历史改编，结果还是加了奇幻的东西，略有《猎魔人》的感觉，后半部分加了一点点女权，总体还是时代局限性的父权故事。以及最后火山口砍头镜头让我当晚做了个梦，梦里全是断头人。
用艺术做幌子，其实人类始终也不过是在为自己的行为买单，麻木究竟是“进化”还是自取灭亡。
