秦岭密窟

　　Justine Juel Gillmer(《地球百子》《荒原》)编写剧本，基于哈夫特之子Alan Scott Haft写作的书籍《Harry Haft: Survivor Of Auschwitz, Challenger Of Rocky Marciano》，讲述一个男人在奥斯维辛集中营被迫与狱友进行残酷的角斗，胜利意味着能活着等待另一天的考验，而他击败的76名对手则走上了死亡之路。哈夫特承担了沉重的内疚之情，他尝试通过参加二战后备受瞩目的拳击大赛、与洛基·马西安诺等传奇人物比赛而重新找到活下去的理由，并希望能找到他在战争前爱上的那个女子，她激励了他在纳粹手中活下去的斗志。

　　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.

　　影片由加拿大演员、歌手罗伯·斯代法钮克自导自演，Alice Cooper、Iggy Pop、Carol Pope、Henry Rollins以及Moby等众多大牌客串。斯代法钮克饰演的乔伊是新人乐队The Winners的主唱。女贝斯手詹妮弗（杰西卡·派尔）在同一名吸血鬼一夜情之后拥有了神奇的性感魅力，使得乐队瞬间征服台下的所有观众。The Winners成名在望，然而名为Eddie Van Helsing（马尔科姆·麦克道威尔）的吸血鬼猎人在他们身后紧追不舍。
