A contemplation of the New Soviet Man runs head-first into a romantic comedy with music in this film from the Soviet Union, which was highly controversial upon initial release. Dr. Stepanov (Yuri Yurev) is a well-known and gifted surgeon whose talent is matched only by his arrogance; he constantly bosses around his assistant, Fydor (Maksim Straukh), and his wife, Masha (Olga Zhizneva). Masha is beautiful and a great deal more charming than her husband, and she soon attracts the attentions of Grisha Fokin (Dmitri Dorliak), a young man who is quite infatuated with her. As Grisha pursues Masha, the characters debate the role of free love and free will within the Soviet social and political economy, as well as the juncture of the body and the mind. Strogiy Yunosha ran into considerable oposition from government censors once it was completed, and was banned by Soviet authorities after only two months of release, which led to director Abram Room's banishment from Ukrainfilm Studio. The film was later revived as part of the retrospective "Another History Of Soviet Films 1926-1968," which was presented at the 53rd Locarno Film Festival in August, 2000. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

本片记录了国产B级片演员胡子对“自己到底想要做什么？”的一段探索历程。一个没有意思的人如何才能找到他认为有意思的事来做？如果一个人终于找到了他认为有意思的事，这和他自身的存在意义又有什么关系？还是在某个时机之下两者其实是一回事？如果一个人认为他的存在是没有意义的，那么至少在他头脑中还有意义这个概念。如果他认为意义本身毫无意义，他只是自己想着“什么都不是”然后再根据这个意思否定这个意思有“什么都不是”之外的其他任何意思。把意义的概念定义为“空”不能证明意义不可以“有”。也许他只是还没有找到，也许找到了但不能确定。当然，有可能他永远也无法找到，或者即便找到了也永远无法确定...

In 1964 author Samuel Beckett set out on one of the strangest ventures in cinematic history: his embattled collaboration with silent era genius Buster Keaton on the production of a short, titleless avant-garde film. Beckett was nearing the peak of his fame, which would culminate in his receiving a Nobel Prize five years later. Keaton, in his waning years, never lived to see Beckett’s canonization. The film they made along with director Alan Schneider, renegade publisher Barney Rosset, and Academy Award-winning cinematographer Boris Kaufman, has been the subject of praise, condemnation, and controversy for decades. Yet the eclectic participants are just one part of a story that stretches to the very birth of cinema, and spreads out to our understanding of human consciousness itself. 　　NOTFILM is a feature-length experimental essay on FILM’s production and its philosophical implications, utilizing additional outtakes, never before heard audio recordings of the production meetings, and other rare archival elements.
