故事发生在1884年的英国,伊诺拉(米莉·博比·布朗 Millie Bobby Brown 饰)正准备迎接自己的16岁生日,哪知道在这一天,她的母亲(海伦娜·伯翰·卡特 Helena Bonham Carter 饰)失踪了。大名鼎鼎的名侦探夏洛特福尔摩斯(亨利·卡维尔 Henry Cavill 饰)和麦考夫(山姆·克拉弗林 Sam Claflin 饰)成为了伊诺拉的监护人。
在柏林的一家大饭店里。那时整个德国笼罩着经济危机的阴影。在豪华的大饭店里麇集许多来自不同阶层的人物。其中有陷入困境而避风头的财界巨擘普莱辛格,无奈色衰而想自尽的芭蕾舞演员格鲁辛斯卡娅,被赌博弄得倾家荡产而偷窃为生的旧男爵冯盖根,普莱辛格的旧属风烛残年的孤老克林格兰,以及年轻漂亮但贪婪自私的速记员弗兰苓等。
这部第5届奥斯卡最佳影片是米高梅在30年代初期首创“全明星电影”的代表作。全片以柏林的一家豪华大饭店为人生舞台,表现五组人物在同一天之中的离奇遭遇。叙事手法虽然中规中矩,但几位大明星的表演却相当精彩,充分掌握角色的个性和处境,其中有:面临事业危机的俄国芭蕾舞女星、嗜赌的男爵、患上绝症的小人物、企业家等。这些角色以三线交错的方式上演着人生的悲欢离合,剧情发展流畅,场景虽然局限在大饭店中,但人物穿梭流动自然。故事在后来的《柏林饭店》(Hotel Berlin)和《琼楼风月》(Weekend at the Waldorf)中再度出现,并被改编成百老汇歌舞剧。
The film accompanies Magaye Niyang, a star of Touki-Bouki, a 1972 classic directed by her own uncle Djibril Diop. Following this path, we are witness of Niyang travel to a special screening of the film, which has a public release in his old town. Niyang seems detached and with a heavy longing from the past, and therefore, the film debris permeates everything with unescapable sorrow and fascination.
Diop film is, first and foremost, a nostalgic travel through memory, time and recreation. It is also a watermark in contemporary experimental documentary, a very intimate portrait of a lost long journey through the past that isn’t returning anymore, a detachment of rejected fame, recognition and connection which is heavily grounded on a legacy that belongs to the past, and that connects directly to a country (Senegal) and its heritage, which is sometimes feel excruciating for the old ones (a testimony such as the taxi scene in the film, where the cab driver longs for changes, and claims that the old generation had done nothing for that).
Mille Soleils (A Thousand Suns) and, in itself, Mati Diop’s crucial talent, should be a point of reference into what could easily be one of the most interesting proposals of hybrid documentary cinema which has come from France, and which deals with a strong African heritage. Since 35 Rhums, where she proved her actress talent, Diop seems like a true promise for the following years of cinema.
It's 1998 and over the course of one 12 Hour Shift at an Arkansas Hospital, A Junkie Nurse (Angela Bettis), Her Scheming Cousin (Chloe Farnworth) and a group of black market Organ-Trading criminals (Mick Foley, David Arquette, Dusty Warren) start a heist that could lead to all of their demise.
