9.Wild Tales

9.《荒蠻故事》

Passengers board a flight for which they have all received free tickets. Slowly they realize that their mysterious benefactor is a man named George Pasternak, whom each of them had wronged in some way — and that he is in the cockpit about to crash the plane. A hijacking story with a weirdly effervescent tang, this is the first of six short fables in an omnibus comedy from Argentinian writer-director Damián Szifron. Animosity simmers and boils hilariously in episodes set in a roadhouse diner, on the open highway, in a DMV office, among the corrupt members of a rich family and at a wedding ceremony where the bride learns her new husband has had affair with one of the guests. Produced by Pedro Almodóvar, and playing like a volume of short stories somehow coauthored by Ambrose Bierce and Roald Dahl,Wild Talesbuilds recognizable grudges into tales of apocalyptic revenge. It’s also the year’s most fearlessly funny film.

乘客們都免費(fèi)登機(jī)后才慢慢意識到自己被騙了：提供機(jī)票的喬治·帕斯捷爾納克（里卡杜-達(dá)林飾）正坐在駕駛艙里準(zhǔn)備墜毀這輛客機(jī)。這個不乏歡騰搞笑的劫機(jī)故事取自于阿根廷作家達(dá)米安·斯茲弗隆寓言文集的第一篇。電影取景多樣，包括在公路邊的房屋里共進(jìn)晚餐，在寬闊的馬路上馳騁，富豪家腐敗的成員們聚集一堂，婚禮上新娘發(fā)現(xiàn)新郎竟然與一位來賓發(fā)生戀情。該片由佩德羅·阿莫多瓦擔(dān)任制片人，刻畫了復(fù)仇路上的恩怨情仇，引人深思。影片還給觀眾一種讀安布羅斯·貝爾士和羅爾德·達(dá)爾合著的系列短篇小說的感覺，堪稱年度“最冒險”喜劇片。
