在Botelho的<想做美国总统的女人>(2003)和这部里选了很久,最后决定选这部成名作,其实两部都很幽默,他是葡萄牙当代最好的超现实喜剧片导演. 　　Maybe the best Portuguese movie ever done, "Tráfico" is a sad, sad portrait of the modern Portugal and (if there is such a thing, since Portuguese mentality seems have not changed in 800 years), in spite of its sarcastic, even surrealistic mood, a very dark and dejected film, at least for Portuguese viewers. Very funny too (yet,with a kind of humor whose nuances risks sometimes to escape unnoticed by foreign ears), with some of the more sharp-witted sayings and situations I ever saw in cinema. The dialogue with the Portuguese culture it's ever present, making of it a movie that just can be fully understood by an autochton. Notwithstanding - don't miss this masterpiece.

剧情梗概： 　　影片的第一个镜头：清晨，烟雨濛濛的江南，破旧的住宅楼下，一位老人在打太极拳。随后，这位83岁的老人面对镜头开始讲述他一生的经历。小学时中共地下党音乐老师对他影响很大，大学时在上海秘密加入中共地下党，并打入汪伪政府的特务组织。解放南京时他是渡江部队35军的政委。1949年后在历次政治运动中遭到迫害，当年同为中共地下党的妻子在反右运动中被迫害致死，他本人在文革期间多次被批斗，一条腿被打残，一人带着三个女儿终身不曾再婚。改革开发以后，他当了杭州某大学的校长。现在他的生活就是看书、唱歌和练气功。 　　导演阐述： 　　南京渡江纪念馆请我帮助拍摄当年渡江战役老战士的资料，在采访了几位老战士之后，这位老人是唯一能够打动我的，在和他相处的几天时间里，他用平和、舒缓的语调讲述了他波澜壮阔前半生和历经坎坷的后半生。他的人生经历正是那个时代的缩影，反映了整整一代中国人的历史。于是，我放弃了纪念馆的资料拍摄工作，决定以他个人的讲述创作一部纪录片。他在晚年写了一本回忆录叫《道路》，并自费印刷赠送朋友，在拍摄结束时他也赠送了一本给我。这部纪录片的片名就借用了他的书名。
