The primary story with this movie is that it is shown in four simultaneously filmed ninety-three minute single shot takes (in other words, shown in four quadrants), with the actual plot secondary. The four cameras follow the players involved, with two or more of the four cameras sometimes filming the exact same scene from different angles and thus different perspectives. The audio on each of the four quadrants is turned up and down based on which quadrant(s) the viewer should pay most attention to at any given time. The actual plot, which takes place in Hollywood, involves the pre-production by Red Mullet Productions for the movie "Bitch from Louisiana". The production team is in an executive meeting to discuss several aspects of the movie, including problems with one of their own, Alex Green, who has been missing in action from much of the production and this meeting. Alex's problems stem from his substance abuse and philandering, his wife Emma who is contemplating leaving him, of which he is unaware. Lester Moore, the movie's director, is also causing the producers some concern as they believe he again is using drugs against company policy. The production team is also talking about casting the role of "The Bitch". One actress who wants to audition is Rose, who is having an affair with Alex as a foot in the door. Rose does not officially have an audition, although she tells her controlling lover, Lauren, that's why she is going to Red Mullet's office, while she really is meeting with Alex for a tryst. Lauren, however, believes that Rose is indeed cheating on her. Through it all, Quentin, a masseuse, is present giving free massages as a means to gain Red Mullet as a corporate client. Their goings-on come to a head during a pitch meeting by visiting European actress, Ana Pauls, who is accompanied by her agent, Bunny Drysdale, and her musician boyfriend, Joey Z.
被空間化了的時間性或間離的真實(truth of alienation or the alienated truth)。很绝很绝的片子!。
秒杀史上全部长镜头!
好牛逼的形式~但是看着确实比较累
看一会还觉得挺新鲜,看多了头好痛。。。
四个分割画面的一镜到底,难度不仅乘四,同时每个画面之间还有故事以及人物联系,还有重叠。快结尾的时候借人物之口把分画幅的原因阐释了,也把理论的东西用这部电影表现出来了。这样的电影还有无限的可能性,需要用新的标准去评价。可惜这部电影找不到下载资源,我优酷会员也要到期了_(:зゝ∠)_
又一部见面不如闻名的作品,虽说是Mike Figgis分屏实践里较为成熟的一部,概念碉堡了,但欣赏起来真的好痛苦好无聊好蛋疼。
