Franziska Linkerhand, a qualified architect divorced and up to now a kind of "master pupil" of a renowned architect, moves to a small town to meet new challenges. She wants to work in an architect's bureau in her new place of residence. Franziska is a person who does not make any compromises; she makes great demands on herself. But she is also full of ideals and dreams. She would like to help build a town in which people feel good and at home. However, Franziska soon realizes the discrepancy between her wishful thinking and reality. The acting municipal architect Schafheutlin, who has long since become ossified in his ideas and norms and who, in many respects, is supposed to be Franziska's partner; quickly becomes her adversary. Because of Franziska's rigorous manner, he is, however, seized with a restlessness which is new to him. Franziska's productive creativity is infectious... She gets to know Trojanowicz, who arouses deep passionate feelings in her and he responds to her in the same way. But Franziska's uncompromising challenge is too much for Trojanowicz. Their love affair ends. In spite of this great disappointment, Franziska does not leave the small town. She has realized that a year is far too short to bring about any fundamental changes for the people.

主人公李忠诚是一个有妇之夫，与妻子陈青拥有一个女儿以南。看似平静的家庭背后，是李忠诚对家庭的背叛。他的情人叫刘雪纯，这个年轻女孩厌倦了这样的生活，试图与酒吧服务生吕天乐开始一段新的正常的感情生活。此时，李忠诚虽与情人分手，但为了满足自己变态的欲望，他买通了赌徒吴强，企图用金钱让刘雪纯的男友陷入赌博的漩涡，破坏她已经安定的生活。刘雪纯沉浸在安逸的生活中，以为自己得到了幸福，那边自以为报复得手的李忠诚并不知晓，妻子已经罹患了癌症……这是片子说的故事。而片子所要揭示的却是另一层意思：生活的真实中隐藏着虚伪，虚伪中隐藏着真切；平淡中埋藏着危急，惬意中埋伏着欺骗……这是关于生活的寓言。\n导演文武强调：“这是一部关于我们目前某种精神状态寓言性的影片”，所以细节会成为最重要的表现形式。”而在强调细节的过程中，长沙不是单纯意义上的空间，而是一个角色，承担着表达任务的角色。它不仅在暗示、象征人生活的特征，而且诠释人在这个空间里生存的体验。这正是我们现代化过程的城市，它包含某种荒诞，失落和茫然的语境。

A new film by Andrew Kötting is always cause for celebration, and his deliciously eccentric latest is a touching portrait of his daughter, Eden, as a young woman in their tumbledown Pyrenean farmhouse. Last seen in Gallivant (1996) as a plucky kid touring the coastline of Britain with her Big Granny, Eden, now 23, is here shown painting still lifes and singing along to the radio as the seasons ebb and flow around her. Reminiscent of Stan Brakhage's Dog Star Man, this lo-fi marvel features music by Scanner's Robin Rimbaud and a range of voices from Kötting's sound archive to explore notions of nostalgia, memory and place. and from "cinevue": The latest release to come from the BFI's very own DVD label, Andrew Kötting's This Our Still Life (2011) is a deeply personal, lo-fi collage of the director's secluded Pyrenean farmhouse (named simply 'Louyre'), where he lives with his wife Leila and daughter Eden. Eden was born with a rare neurological disease, and thus the farmhouse proves the perfect habitat for Kötting to care for and play with the 23-year-old, free from the hustle-and-bustle of London life. Kötting once again incorporates a number of signature stylistic techniques that run throughout his work (even as far back as 1996's Gallivant, where Eden made here first on-screen appearance). Film stocks are changed at will, with digital and Super 8 chopped together alongside a choice cuts from the director's extensive audio archive. The result is a fragmented, hypnotic slice of experimental cinema with just enough heart and universal appeal to warrant a wider release outside of the art installation clique. Both Louyre and Eden prove extremely watchable subjects, at times humorously documented by the camera-wielding Kötting. Eden's illness has clearly had severely damaging permanent effects on her speech and motor function, yet she is undoubtedly a content, creative, fun-loving twenty-something. Art classes and pop sing-alongs are the call of the day, with Eden’s parents keen to facilitate her every wish. Mirroring the affection between Kötting, his wife and daughter is a love for Louyre itself, a paradise of sorts where enjoyment, artistic fulfilment and learning are top of the agenda. For many, this is an unattainable pipe dream, but for Kötting the farmhouse becomes a magical, otherworldly space full or vibrancy, life and colour. This Our Still Life is a bewitching, hypnotic filmmaking experiment that thankfully works well. As a 20-year-plus portrait of Kötting's main loves - his daughter, his wife, Louyre and cinema - there is enough heart and emotional connection to entertain throughout, whilst concurrently offering up a number of deeper, existential readings for those willing to engage further

斯洛伐克新浪潮经典，这是一部仿真纪录片。 Otakar Krivanek's 1969 film Our Daily Day (Den nas kazdodenny) was a reminder that Uher's lesson was not forgotten by the Slovak film world. Krivanek (1931-1997) started with the same elements as Uher: non-actors, generational conflict, a documentary camera style—but his outcome was a much more critical view of reality. His "understatement" is sarcastic or satirical, very different from Uher's "lyrical understatement." Scenes from the life of a so-called "average" Slovak family, in which everything revolves around the graduating daughter, are reconstructed in the real surroundings of a real family; Krivanek's feature film is but a step away from being a documentary. The relationship between The Sun in a Net and Our Daily Day is similar to the difference between the Czech films Black Peter (Cerny Petr, dir. Milos Forman, 1963) and Ecce Homo Homolka (original Latin title, dir. Jaroslav Papousek, 1969).
