剧本:Abbas Kiarostami /Paul Laverty /Ermanno Olmi 这部影片是由三个来自同时代的却各自有着不同文化传承的著名导演讲述的三个小故事的合辑.影片把三个故事纠缠在一个从西欧到罗马的单程旅途列车中,尽管三个故事各自独立,尽管三个故事之间的切换也是显而易见的,但三位导演的具有不同文化背景的讲述却创造了一种独特的三重式结构,把复杂社会中人们之间的那种相互作用的关系时时地展现在这样一个旅程中. 火车车厢,本就是个狭小的空间,在这里,人与人之间的关系是很容易就能被感知,我想这应该是一个高度浓缩的关系矛盾集合体,尽管在这里还有着特殊的背景,人们知道这只是短暂的相处,因此彼此之间相对会表现得比平时不一样的状态.但在着部电影里，三位导演把各个角色间的性格特点彻底的分离,鲜活地表现了出来.那位幻想着爱的独身的老教授,不可理喻的将军遗孀和陪送她的年轻人,三个凯而特人的球迷,阿拉伯难民家庭等等，这些人都在欧洲这个同样的社会背景下,很自然地彼此联系在一起,其实我也在想,会不会是有关欧洲这样一个他们自认为是一体的背景下，人们之间的情感关系.当然,我更愿意抛弃这样一个背景,而把这些故事放在一个广泛的人类背景下,对这种人与人之间相互关系的表现.但是它同时揭示的社会问题也是不能忽视的，所以从情感上,我更愿意分开来看. 绵长的铁轨,人们各自怀着各自的心思. 老教授的深情和善良,在影片一开始的时候就把我打动.一封信,写来写去,却无终的信,在最后时刻,延伸到给了车厢连接处一位难民妇女怀里婴儿所需的一杯牛奶,在这种延伸中,老教授的迟疑,和众人的表情还有那些士兵的反应,这些都拿捏得非常精彩,我当时的感觉真的就是入了戏,自己仿似在故事中.真是奇妙. "和蔼友善的女士,虽然我们只是在一起等了几分钟的火车,说了几句话而已,但是已经足够让我发现,自己习惯了有你陪伴.实际上当火车即将离去的时候,我开始感到那种离开亲近的人们时所感受到的空虚. 我想知道.... 什么.... 你是否曾经弹过钢琴? 不，很不幸我没有弹过琴.为什么这么问? 我小时侯常常一个人在房间里,夏天的午后偶尔会听到有 人弹琴. 真的?.... 从开着的窗户传来音乐声,但是窗户里面是黑的,所以看不见是谁在弹.我就坐在那里,如灵魂出壳一般,做着白日梦. 我现在手上拿着您给我的卡片,我看到您的名字--萨宾,请允许我在写下这封信的时候,亲切的称呼您"亲爱的萨宾". 现在火车慢下来了,一定是有什么线路故障吧,这火车简直就像是有点了解我的心情,我的犹豫.一小时前我还担心回不了家,但现在,如果火车停了，掉转头开回去,我反而会高兴.但我不会放任自己的想象,像个小孩一样做白日梦,我说过,我一直都有点做白日梦的倾向.在梦里你想要什么都能实现(:)你不想要什么,什么也都会发生),梦里并非什么都需要解释.没人会问为什么，因为没有答案.梦里没有年龄的概念，我们总是年轻的,美丽的.我知道这听起来有点可悲.老年就是这样.我们隐藏一些情绪， 免得自己觉得难堪.我们害怕自己会看起来荒谬.但我知道自己的时候快要到了,有时我被一种强劲的生命力蒙蔽了眼睛,就是对幸福的期待.仿佛我还有权利陷入爱河一样.把我的心情告诉你，是否有些对你不敬呢?你不必回答.我禁不住觉得有些美妙的事情已经发生了." 泼辣不可理喻的胖老太,从她的脸上就能看出.装病霸占别人的位子,但是之前关于手机的描述能很让人惊奇,这就是电影的魅力吧,让你的思维经历了一次不可思议的体验.而跟着她的年轻人,总让人怀疑是她的儿子,可是又有点像情人,可其实他只是个社区的自愿者,而这位老女人是个将军的遗孀.老女人对年轻人呼来唤去,动不动就抱怨,霸道的让人气愤,而这个年轻人却有着一种忧郁,只是这种忧郁看起来比较滑稽.冲突不断的发生,在最后年轻人离开了的时候，这位老女人却是那么无助,拼命要寻他回来,这不能不引人思考... 还是那个乘务员,车将开往罗马,三个凯尔特人的球迷在火车上遇到了难民的弟弟.其实这三个一开场就很显眼,喧闹浮躁,没有什么志向,在超市工作，带了满袋的三明治,好不容易凑足钱买的车票和门票,只是想去罗马看自己球队的比赛.和难民弟弟聊起足球,给他看了门票,还给了他一个三明治,不想,车票却被他偷了.折腾了一会,总算确认是难民弟弟偷了票,可是又遇上了问题,三个人的心软无法应对难民的哭诉,最后又给了他们一张票.这样他们又面临被罚款而钱远远不够的困境,最后的结局也是让人无法想象到的,通过对方球迷的球迷的帮助逃脱,在这里,又和一向被讨论的球迷的问题挂上了钩,球迷其实是一起的,即使支持不同的球队,但是却有着一样的梦想-足球. 在这里,这个世界没有了分别,没有了差别,也没有了分辨的意义.

Down-on-his-luck veteran Tsugumo Hanshirō enters the courtyard of the prosperous House of Iyi. Unemployed, and with no family, he hopes to find a place to commit seppuku—and a worthy second to deliver the coup de grâce in his suicide ritual. The senior counselor for the Iyi clan questions the ronin’s resolve and integrity, suspecting Hanshirō of seeking charity rather than an honorable end. What follows is a pair of interlocking stories which lay bare the difference between honor and respect, and promises to examine the legendary foundations of the Samurai code.

In the slums of the upper West Side of Manhattan, tensions are high as a gang of Polish-Americans compete against a gang of recently immigrated Puerto Ricans, but this doesn't stop two romantics from each gang falling in love.

It’s the rainy season in the Tibetan highlands. It’s good for the crops, but bad for Wangdrak. He’s the only boy in his village who doesn’t own a pair of rain boots – and the other children tease him about it. His father has no money to buy any boots, plus he has other worries: there’s a dispute among the farmers. Secretly, his mother swaps a goat skin for a new pair of light blue boots. But when Wangdrak proudly wears them to school the next day, the children laugh at him again because it has stopped raining and the sun is shining. At least Wangdrak can count on his best friend Lhamo. Set in the vast mountains of Tibet this film affectionately portrays the story of a young boy’s dreams which are bound by the traditional structures of rural life.

改编自艾特玛托夫同名小说 获1976年第9届苏联电影节大奖

With Ran, legendary director Akira Kurosawa reimagines Shakespeare's King Lear as a singular historical epic set in sixteenth-century Japan. Majestic in scope, the film is Kurosawa's late-life masterpiece, a profound examination of the folly of war and the crumbling of one family under the weight of betrayal, greed, and the insatiable thirst for power.

On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.

After her anti-fascist professor father is dismissed, Yukie navigates love, political repression, and wartime upheaval—ultimately forging her own path in pre- and post-WWII Japan.
