剧情介绍
一个是喜欢沾花惹草的电影制片人，一个是他充满不安全感的妻子，一个是为了在演艺界出人头地不惜和制片人乱搞的女演员，一个是心怀嫉妒、忽然萌生杀机的女演员的女友，再加上一个作品诡异、记录他人暴毙的冷漠艺术家，这群人终于因为命运的安排而相逢，构成了一个关于一段孽缘、一宗谋杀案和一个好莱坞不为人知的故事……
The primary story with this movie is that it is shown in four simultaneously filmed ninety-three minute single shot takes (in other words, shown in four quadrants), with the actual plot secondary. The four cameras follow the players involved, with two or more of the four cameras sometimes filming the exact same scene from different angles and thus different perspectives. The audio on each of the four quadrants is turned up and down based on which quadrant(s) the viewer should pay most attention to at any given time. The actual plot, which takes place in Hollywood, involves the pre-production by Red Mullet Productions for the movie "Bitch from Louisiana". The production team is in an executive meeting to discuss several aspects of the movie, including problems with one of their own, Alex Green, who has been missing in action from much of the production and this meeting. Alex's problems stem from his substance abuse and philandering, his wife Emma who is contemplating leaving him, of which he is unaware. Lester Moore, the movie's director, is also causing the producers some concern as they believe he again is using drugs against company policy. The production team is also talking about casting the role of "The Bitch". One actress who wants to audition is Rose, who is having an affair with Alex as a foot in the door. Rose does not officially have an audition, although she tells her controlling lover, Lauren, that's why she is going to Red Mullet's office, while she really is meeting with Alex for a tryst. Lauren, however, believes that Rose is indeed cheating on her. Through it all, Quentin, a masseuse, is present giving free massages as a means to gain Red Mullet as a corporate client. Their goings-on come to a head during a pitch meeting by visiting European actress, Ana Pauls, who is accompanied by her agent, Bunny Drysdale, and her musician boyfriend, Joey Z.
四画格四声轨四个长镜头
实验性很强
实验性分屏长镜头，迫使观者不停地调动专注力来整合不同镜头画面，理顺不同线索的叙事逻辑。。。看得有点分裂
第二个这么拍的人估计会被打死
叫Anna的导演出场以后故事才开始变得真正有趣了，这种形式的电影首先需要一个渐进的「学习观看」的过程，一开始看会觉得很混乱，但熟悉了这种安排后就会开始适应节奏，而且通过同时性的展现（比如地震、吸烟、愤怒的眼神等）及时将「走神」的观众拉回故事，摸清故事走向。
这头刚偷听完伴侣跟情敌做爱，那头就跟互不认识各自陷入悲痛的情敌背对背抽烟转身相撞擦肩而过，张力好足。即兴表演，用四机位同时进行的长镜头来呈现人物的交织，很有意思的尝试。
声音没利用好，还是挺奇特的体验
全片双屏或多屏大都有的一个问题是，大多时间的画面拖沓单薄。因为多屏需要把画面信息分布在每个画面里，那当某一个画面与单屏画面有同样密度的信息时，另一个画面势必枯燥重复（走路、待坐、展示某种单一情绪）。目前看到最好的是《姐妹情仇》，只有片段双屏，且给了双屏的视点来源，在两个视点汇合时产生了迷宫般的走廊调度，与悬疑类型高度熨帖。短片里，关天的《捉迷藏》目前看到最好，也是片段多屏，多屏的信息用对称打薄，但情感浓度高，单屏部分的摄影机视点精准，还给多屏留了位置，设计非常精巧。
感觉自己是个保安在看着四部移动的监控(-｡-;（我没文化我先说）
似乎这种类似于格里菲斯在当时不被认可的电影技巧是需要时间发现的。
两对平行的恋人，一对由恩爱走向分离，一对由分离走向恩爱，但最后的结局都是毁灭。四个长镜头同时播放，开始杂乱不堪，半小时后渐入佳境，但是对观众的注意力来说还是极大的挑战。导演的意图在安娜的口中已经昭然若揭了。形式上确实是极大的创新，但内核略微空虚，还是中产阶级无病呻吟生活崩溃那一套。
情节建构很特别，情节的发展似乎没有明确指向。利用四个不同的象限点在同一块荧幕上描述四个同时发生的行动。
一部先锋、前卫、实验的……狗血剧……
怀疑林奇是受这部启发拍了《穆赫兰道》，迷幻效果是一样的
一些奇特的拍摄手法。本来觉得形式大于内容，且四个画面看得脑仁疼，直到片中女导演的话吐槽了这部片子本身，开始感到有趣。（所有演员自己负责妆造，Kyle你就给自己整了这么个半秃不秃的发型吗？_(:3」∠)_）
