纪录片聚焦英国独立唱片店的辉煌历史、兴盛后的快速衰退以及近年来奇迹般的重生。从古董老店到新铺开张，从行业领导到媒体编辑，从摇滚明星到店主导购，《Last Shop Standing》收集音乐产业中的每个要素，讲述过往几十年独立唱片店的精彩故事，更集中烘托出现今经济危机、数字下载与信息爆炸的大时代大背景下，一间间独立唱片店聚集音乐爱好者和音乐家、扶持当地独立音乐文化发展而独有的珍贵价值和深厚情谊。 　　The Smiths乐队吉他大师Johnny Marr，The Jam乐队主唱兼吉他手、著名唱作人Paul Weller，英伦名团Longpigs吉他手、著名唱作人Richard Hawley，英国摇滚名家Billy Bragg，英摇名团Curve、Echobelly成员Debbie Smith、英国著名DJ制作人Fatboy Slim（Norman Cook）等熟脸均在唱片架旁亲自开讲：无论是被父母说成为荒废余生，还是创作灵感全无的午后，抑或是每周六早晨空空的钱包，唱片店总是这些回忆最好的发生地。下周一可能还要麻烦您跑到两个街区外的唱片店才能购得《Last Shop Standing》，也因为此片，独立唱片店们变得更加伟大。 　　Last Shop Standing inspired by the book of the same name by Graham Jones takes you behind the counter to discover why nearly 2000 record shops have already disappeared across the UK. The film charts the rapid rise of record shops in the 1960′s, 70′s and 80′s, the influence of the chart, the underhand deals, the demise of vinyl and rise of the CD as well as new technologies. Where did it all go wrong? Why were 3 shops a week closing? Will we be left with no record shops with the continuing rise of downloading? Hear from over 20 record shop owners and music industry leaders as well as musicians including Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Norman Cook, Billy Bragg, Nerina Pallot, Richard Hawley and Clint Boon as they all tell us how the shops became and still are a part of their own musical education, a place to cherish and discover new bands and new music.

前苏联的芭蕾舞者搭上一驾被劫往苏联的飞机，飞机落地后，他被软禁在一栋公寓之中，公寓里住着一位黑人和他的俄籍妻子，他被迫再次担任波修瓦芭蕾舞团的舞者，他一心只想逃…… 　　该片是关于一个俄罗斯舞蹈艺术家的传奇故事，男主演、俄罗斯著名芭蕾舞演员巴希利科夫的舞蹈精彩得让人窒息，催人肝胆——那是一个聚光灯下的白夜，一样的无日无夜、无边无际、无始无终，一种精神病人眼中的灰，只有一个满台奔跑的旋转的影子是其中的亮点 。巴希利科夫抠眉凹眼，有着自然卷曲的金发，不高但结实的身材，他有一种天才式的激情和技能，以及超乎常人的快速旋转能力，无论腾空于任何位置，落地时都不会失去他的平衡……。影片中不仅可以看到巴希利科夫令人心动的表演，还可以看到伊莎贝拉·罗塞里尼这 位著名影星英格丽·褒曼之女的秀丽面庞。而由著名黑人歌星Lionel Richie演唱的影片插曲《Say you, Say me》，更是脍炙人口闻名于世，获得1985年第58届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。 　　为追求艺术上的自由，享誉国际的苏联芭蕾舞演员尼古拉·德罗钦科在八年前以政治避难为由逃到了美国。一次，在前往日本表演时，发生了故障的飞机被迫降落到了苏联的西伯利亚空军机场上。苏联方面将飞机上的其他人全部放行，独独将尼古拉留下，以此向国内外表明叛逃者又改变了政治信仰，回归了祖国。为感化尼古拉，克格勃切伊科上校找来为抗议美国侵略越南而逃到苏联的美国踢靼舞演员雷蒙德·格林伍德。由于不能理解对方为什么要逃离自己的国家，尼古拉和雷蒙德间产生了敌对和抵触的情绪，在增进对对方的了解后，双方才逐渐友好起来。尼古拉同意回到以前工作的基洛夫芭蕾舞团，其目的是为了找机会再次出逃。雷蒙德的立场发生了转变，他成功地掩护尼古拉逃离了苏联，自己却被抓了起来。雷蒙德被当作人质，同另一名被捕的苏联间谍交换，回到了美国。 　　这部反苏倾向的冷战片是好莱坞出品的具高度技巧的影片，故事虽然老套，却很吸引人：一个苏联叛变者逃到了西方，而一个美国叛变者因理想的破灭又逃到了苏联。“白夜”是一个隐喻，既指苏联北回归线以北的太阳长年不落的地区，也可喻指一个真实的发生在白天的噩梦，正因为格外得明亮而荒谬，所以才格外得恐怖。从苏联叛逃的芭蕾舞演员米哈伊尔·巴雷什尼柯夫扮演了片中的尼古拉·德罗钦科，他出逃的动机同他扮演的角色相似：是为了艺术的自由。看来，艺术家必须在祖国和艺术间作出抉择。虽然此片不是他的自传，但米哈伊尔以源自相似经历的内心共鸣将这一角色演绎得生动自如、令人信服

Considered to be the first animated Soviet film, Soviet Toys was made by the acclaimed documentary film director Dziga Vertov. It is based on political caricatures by V. Deni which appeared in the newspaper “Pravda.” Russians refer to the ornaments on their New Year’s trees as “toys.” 　　After the Revolution and the Civil War, Russia was in financial ruin. To jumpstart the economy, Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy, a form of limited capitalism. NEP successfully revived the economy, but there was much resentment among the party faithful of the NEP-men who became wealthy and lived lavishly. 　　Irina Margolina (documentary filmmaker): Vertov did this film to advertise the production abilities of the new advertising agency/filmmaker Goskino, for whom he had just gone to work (the organization’s phone number and address appear in the film).

“It is a film from an extended series. It is hard to say who is the main character of “The Soviet Elegy.” There are more than a hundred faces of our compatriots. But, of course, it is not by chance that it is the destiny of a famous political figure, Boris Nikolayevitch Yeltsin, that bears a special accent in the film. Though he got to power following quite typical ways, his uncommon character puts him out of the ordinary, and in the author’s opinion it may be determined by his uncommon human nature. Our hero exists within the tragic pattern of the soviet socialist life. He is a character of a drama, of which he is one of the authors. “The Soviet Elegy” can hardly be called a documentary film in the proper sense. Of course, the author guarantees the accuracy of chronology, but he insists on an artistic mode of thinking, not on a political or historical investigation.”

影片讲述了一代勇敢而美丽的人，他们没有看到革命的破坏和内战的混乱，他们梦想建立一种新的生活，在这种生活中没有死亡，只有不可思议的爱，这种爱为他们开辟了通往伟大成就和发现的道路。关于那些在天堂和人间都是英雄的人的功绩和荣耀、背叛和忠诚。他们短暂而光明的一生经历了巨大的考验。关于一个女人，她是苏联的梦想和真爱。
