 The world is on fire, and one man does everything he can to avoid facing the impending apocalypse alone in this atmospheric zombie drama about the fear of losing everything you hold dear. In a remote house in the countryside, a man lives with his parrot and a mysterious creature locked in a cage, which he carefully feeds a daily ration of raw meat. While he tends to his chores in what appears to be a slow, steady routine, the world outside is falling apart as a mysterious virus spreads among humanity. All it takes is one unguarded moment for the fragile sense of security in the small house to shatter. Malin Dahl (Lantisar, 2019) has crafted a multilayered story of grief, beautifully captured through stunning cinematography—a must-see for fans of John Ajvide Lindqvist and existential zombie films.

　　15世纪末欧洲某地，一个女人被指控为女巫而被处以火刑，复仇的故事由此展开。。。这部意大利经典哥特式恐怖电影由芭芭拉·斯蒂尔，乔治·阿尔迪松，哈丽娜·扎莱夫斯卡，内洛·帕扎菲尼，翁贝托·拉霍和劳拉·努奇等主演，由安东尼奥·马格赫特执导。

　　故事发生在美丽的巴塞罗那，美国女孩维姬（丽贝卡·豪尔 Rebecca Hall 饰）和克里斯蒂娜（斯嘉丽·约翰逊 Scarlett Johansson 饰）在度假时认识了名声并不太好的艺术家胡安（哈维尔·巴登 Javier Bardem 饰）。性格迥异的两姐妹在第二次遇到胡安后，对于胡安结伴去奥维耶多过周末的的邀请，热情奔放的克里斯蒂娜一下子就爽快答应了，而即将结婚的维姬却感到深深的不安。
　　奥维耶多发生了让人意想不到的事情，原本应该和胡安一夜春宵的克里斯蒂娜因病躺在床上休息，而理智现实的维姬却和胡安一夜风流。
　　当三个人再次回到巴塞罗那之后，维姬的未婚夫道格前来陪伴她，维姬的生活似乎归于平静。而当克里斯蒂娜开始了与胡安热恋并同居的生活之时，胡安的前妻玛丽娅（佩内洛普·克鲁兹 Penélope Cruz 饰）突然出现，这三人之间构筑起一种奇特的关系。于是在盛夏的充满浪漫气息的欧洲名城，一段诙谐而又深刻的关于爱的故事拉开了序幕。
　　在2009年第81届奥斯卡上，佩内洛普·克鲁兹凭借此片获得最佳女配角奖。

　　西部片巨匠霍华德·霍克斯Howard Hawks导演的非洲冒险片。片中有不少精彩的野生动物生态镜头，捕兽场面也拍得相当热闹刺激，加上在阳刚气息中穿插的一些幽默笑料和浪漫爱情，使本片维持了一定的娱乐性。在环保意识已普遍抬头的今天，象这类题材的影片已很难看到了。
　　由Sean Mercer 领导的一班猎兽团﹐专门在非洲捕捉野生动物﹐售给世界各地动物园﹐不过他们从不使用刀枪﹐却使用绳索及围困的方法﹐为免伤害到牠们。某天当他们捕捉一头犀牛的时候﹐其中一位名为Indian 的队员受伤了﹐需要一种特别的血型来输血﹐众人担心不已﹐幸好Chips在﹐不过这名陌生人要求在猎兽团中得到一份工作。另一方面﹐这晚突然来了一位女士﹐名为Anna Maria﹐她是买家派来的一位摄影师﹐要求在捕猎时拍摄过程﹐Sean大吃一惊﹐因为他一直以为那人是一位男生﹐于是这个由一位少女 Brandy继承父业经营﹑本来很有默契﹑犹如一家人的工作团队﹐一下子产生了变化。

　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
