自然主义电影大师兹沃金·帕夫诺维奇的代表作。
　　这部影片毫不留情地展示了生活的阴暗角落，城市阶层的藏污纳垢的场所。细节描写丰富而又很有表现力。主演细致入微地表现一个人在精神堕落、个性解体的过程。有评论者指责作者渲染阴暗面，给生活抹黑，甚至被称为黑片。也有人认为影片表达了作者对这种现象不安的态度，但对消除缺点是有信心的，这使影片能起到动员的作用。

　　In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
　　As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
　　Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
　　The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
　　Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
　　The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
　　The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.

　　Heintje是西德电影《英俊少年》的主角，相信这部电影很多人熟悉，但谈到他的其它影片可能大家就陌生了。Ein Herz geht auf Reisen德语直译叫一颗上路的心，拍摄于1969年，但40年了，这部电影还未有过中文配音，相信是没有传到中国的。
　　片中Heintje（影片用的是他真名，英俊少年也是只是姓不同）是个孤儿，从开头他买完东西回到一所公寓的情景是为影片说明来由，那公寓不是他自己家，是他姨妈家而姨妈有了未婚夫后一心想跟他分开住。Heintje天天去马场看他喜欢的白马，与场主Alfred（英俊少年里演他父亲的演员）建立深厚感情，而Alfred有了女友后也疏忽了他还要去瑞士，所以Heintje被送到孤儿院。但他又从孤儿院逃出一路搭便车追随Alfred到了瑞士，Alfred被他深深感动还与女友分手了。Heintje搭的便车最后那个是一起走私团伙，在瑞士发现他后还绑架他，在警察等人帮助下，Heintje脱离危险，而Alfred也找到真爱，就是在德国认识的事务所的Hanna（英俊少年里演女律师的演员），他们决定结婚并收养Heintje。
　　Heintje在片中一路唱着好听的歌那歌声让人陶醉其中，Ich sing ein lied fur dich直译是我为你唱首歌，在片中出现多次，可以说是这部的主题曲了，他的金嗓子让人佩服，现实中的他就是以金嗓子赢得众人的欣赏，他的少年时代的歌有荷兰语、德语、英语三种语言，也是语言天才。
　　开头出现的Liebe Sonne（亲爱的太阳），是说明一个孤儿心中永远都是阳光
　　，无论如何最终都是会得到幸福的。要相信爱就在身边，心中有阳光，无论遇到什么困难，都是不能被击垮的。

　　影片承袭朱自清同名散文的父爱主题以父爱为主要线索，用电影的方式讲述一个生动的亲情故事。九十年代一个贫困的小山村。十二岁的少女春秀早年丧母，与父亲和瘫痪在床的奶奶相依为命。父亲罹患肺癌，只有短暂的生命，所以他与桂兰结婚，希望在自己离世后，将春秀托孤给她。可是没想到，桂兰在嫁过来前早已患上子宫癌，也不于人世，并且有和桂兰爹一样的目的。开始，他们相互隐瞒了自己的目的，但在三个月的共同生活中，双方都各自发现了对方的秘密，谁也没有说破。出于对孩子真挚而崇高的爱，父亲决定坚守这个秘密。没多久，桂兰和父亲病故，春秀用她羸弱的双肩，代替父亲肩起了一家的重担。本片所有演员均启用非职业演员。

　　Two smugglers meet two customs officers at sea, and happen to kill them. The story continues fifteen years later when a son of one of the officers and a smuggler's daughter fall in love with each other.

　　ynopsis from Time Out Film Guide: Between the seemingly idyllic opening and closing scenes depicting a rural community, first at church, then at the village festival, Fleischmann attacks that community's prejudices and ignorance without remorse. His very precisely observed portrait of Bavarian life begins with little more than a display of the villagers' constant ribbing, bawdy humour, continuous gossip, and more than a hint of their slow-wittedness. With the return of a young man, their idle malice and childish clowning, always on the edge of unpleasantness, receive some focus: quite without foundation, the lad is victimised as a homosexual. The crippling conformity of their ingrained conservatism leads the villagers to reject anything 'different': a young widow is ostracised, more for her crippled lover and idiot son than her morals; a teacher is frozen out because she's educated; the casual destruction of the young 'homosexual' is given no more thought than the cutting up of a pig. Not Germany in the '30s but the '70s; nevertheless the political parallels are clear. An impressive film.

　　Though Delluc's career was short-lived, it burst vigorously(7 films in 4 years)that it forever left its imprint on french cinema history, and they rightly honoured him by giving the annual Prix Delluc to the best French film of the year. He was responsible for the creation of influential cinema  journals like Le Journal du Ciné-Club and Cinéa, founding numerous film societies, writing countless articles and coining the term "cineaste". Delluc believed that films should be set in the natural without elaborate posturing, and characters should be portrayed in an intimate way where the past and present, illusion and reality can be correlated, all considered to be avant-garde at its time. He died only a few weeks after the shooting of The Flood at the age of 33.

　　In this sci-fi chiller, a young woman's peace is shattered when she begins hearing loud screams in her head. They are the agonized wailings of an astronaut deliberately marooned upon the moon by a double-crossing experimenter. Soon the woman becomes possessed by the astronaut.

　　This apocalyptic parable carries within it a clear echo of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. This unforgiving exploration of the Czech mentality tells the tale of a troupe of wandering actors who perform a passion play in some unnamed village. Fear of some unknown danger breaks out in the village, which is cut off from the surrounding world. Stupidity, selfishness and aggressiveness then come to the surface in this society under threat. In the film's key scene, a woman is raped by the self-styled leader. Zdenuk Mahler, who would later work on Forman's examination Mozart Amadeus, worked on the script.
　　The director Evald Schorm (1929-1988) was one of the most original members of the Czech "New Wave". During the "normalization" era, Schorm spent many years unable to direct. His last film, Killing with Kindness (1988) was only made in the twilight years of Communism. During that period when he was unable to direct films, he became an outstanding stage director. He directed groundbreaking productions at the "Na zábradlí" Theater and Laterna Magika.

　　本片获第45届戛纳电影节评委会大奖。

　　Due to some common interests between German and Russian aristocracy ( the Russians even had aristocrats in their past not to mention they had an Empress called Catherine the Great, as great as this German count's heiresses… ), it is not strange that this Teutonic count has understood and even enjoyed Herr S. M. Eisenstein's "Staroye I Novoye".
　　It is not very usual that for the aristocracy to enjoy Bolshevist films full of proletarian demands that put private property at risk or as it happens in this case, a film about the Communist Party's policy on the subject of the collectivization of the Soviet agriculture. Normally this would be perfect gibberish for this German count, but thanks to Herr Eisenstein 's greatness and directorial talent, the hardships of the heroine of the film, Dame Marfa ( Dame Marfa Lapkina ) breached even the thick aristocratic Schloss walls.
　　And that's one of the first remarkable aspects of this oeuvre; in spite of the political subject of the film, the powerful images and lyricism ( astonishing and beautiful shot compositions ), especially during the first part of the movie, preserve the artistic merits entirely while serving a propaganda purpose. The second remarkable aspect of the film is the dichotomy between the old and new, the fight to improve the lot of Dame Marfa and her countrymen. There are many discussions because it is not easy even in Russia to change ancient and conservative customs. There are superb metaphors and social criticism ( illiteracy, bureaucracy, religiosity ) which perfectly fit the film, and last but not least, "Staroye I Novoye", is a kind of archaic documentary about ancient customs established deeply in old Russia, those ones that our heroine must fight against. And there is also a lot about agriculture ( very enlightening for this German count), especially about harvesting and how to fatten Russian cows or pigs ( literally, no pun here… ).
　　Herr Eisenstein had to bear during the last era of his film career, unbelievable censorship and mutilation of his work, as happens with "Staroye I Novoye". The film was reedited and Eisenstein accused of sympathizing with Trostky's policies but fortunately the film was restored and showed by the German-frenchified t.v. channel "ARTE", natürlich!, including an evocative music score by Herr Taras Bujewski, that fits superbly Herr Eisenstein primal artistic interests.
　　And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must buy a tractor for one of his Teutonic heiress.

　　本片是德国名演员爱尔简宁斯步入影坛后主演的第一部名作，也是德国最早期影评人出身的导演埃瓦邦编导的第二部作品。当年的德国电影大多受民族情绪影响，不断在电影形式和心理分析的问题上打转，以至影片的风格呈现出沉重的压力。埃瓦尔杜邦在本片却重新回到戏剧性的高潮和活泼流畅的摄影机运动上做文章，使整部影片充沛地发挥出正剧应有的角色生命力和感动观众的人情味。当然，菲利克斯霍廉代尔的原着小说故事感人也功不可没。剧情描述杂耍班演员赫勒是表演空中飞人的台柱，但因其妻帕特娜人到中年而发胖，无法再上场表演，夫妻二人乃到汉堡一家专门为船员演出的杂耍班谋生。一名无依无靠的年轻姑娘菩尔特常随水手来看杂耍，赫勒让她尝试登台表演歌舞，竟然大受欢，但勒赫真正念念不忘的还是恢复空中飞人的节目，乃刻意培训菩尔特成为他的搭档。在训练过程中，赫勒被菩乐特年轻动人的健美身材深深迷惑而无法自拔，并不惜抛弃妻子，双双私奔到柏林去。在柏林，赫勒成功地把菩尔特带上了一流的表演舞台，但他很快就发现她跟杂耍班的另一年轻空中飞人阿尔迪纳利发生了暧昧的关系。嫉妒得发狂的赫勒自知已无法把菩尔特抢回来，只有去谋杀阿尔迪纳利。当他成功地杀死情敌后，却感到无比空虚，于是到警察局自首，最后被判了无期徒刑。
