Devoutly religious Ruth returns from Israel to care for her dying mother, but when she tries to bring her estranged brother David back into the fold, in accordance with her mother's wishes, the result is a startling journey into the darkest realms of sexual obsession: a forbidden game under the guise of religious law. Dark, ambiguous and distinctly adult, this study of belief and desire, set in the cloistered world of London's Orthodox Jewish community, thoughtfully explores the links between faith and violence, denial and longing.
不知道《旧约》和《摩西五经》里是不是真有这么大段大段对家庭成员关系节律性的描述?加之一个传说中一直破戒却最终得道成为拉比们导师的例子,为作为主角的弟弟,有了叛逆行为的参照系和正当性。大篇幅绵长而暧昧的布景、光线和对话,导向那个极端却又说服性极弱的乱伦企图。不是每个人都能做伯格曼。
we are there for each other. but we can never have each other.
大段的逆光画面,暧昧混沌的光线。这确实是一种尝试,但实在有些自说自话、自我陶醉的感觉,有关宗教啊,欲望啊,大可不必搞得这么玄乎,看着反而傻乎乎的毫不诚恳
影片的宗教背景占了很大部分,我们都未曾深究其宗教理念,但其表现人物那种欲言又止,想尽情宣泄欲望又被实际束缚的那种内心活动让人感触很深。在当今社会,那种看似圣洁的背后潜藏的多少阴暗及龌龊就不得而知了。
没看懂!可是从看了大半辈子的电影审美的画面来看;导演的水平不低;没有卖弄玄虚,看了“不爱”的评论,深有同感!
灰暗 阴沉 极度压抑 对欲念及内心挣扎的表达很到位 但是由于无法理解其宗教内涵 看的非常痛苦..不评分了 没那资格--
