簡介。。。。。。
The title of this highly-regarded Czech drama translates as Wolf Trap. Set in the 1920s, the story revolves around an ambitious young provincial politician (Miroslav Dolozai) who enters into a marriage of convenience with a smotheringly possessive -- and much older -- woman (Jirina Sejbavola). Hoping to temporarily escape his overbearing wife's clutches, the husband strikes up a friendship with her young ward (Jana Brejchova). The relationship blossoms into a deep abiding love, but the jellyfish husband can't bring himself to declare his ardor to the girl. Even after the death of the wife, the husband hasn't the intestinal fortitude to admit his passion, and the results are bleak indeed for the unfortunate ward. Director Jiri Weiss does a masterful job staging his story of frustration and denial against a backdrop of post-WWI bourgeois banality. Vlci Jama was one of the best-received entries at the 1958 Karlovy Vary Film Festival -- not to mention all the other film festivals that followed.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數:7.5/10
Robert是一位有野心的政治家,曾經爲了前程娶了一個自己根本不愛而且比自己大很多嵗的女人。他的妻子Teta是一個相貌醜陋、體態肥胖、粗俗自大、歇斯底里的女人,而且有嚴重的哮喘病。一天,Robert為妻子請了一名護理,和妻子住在一起照顧她。Jana是一個溫柔美麗、善良可愛的姑娘,Robert沒想到自己漸漸愛上了Jana,而Jana也愛上了這位學識淵博、多才多藝的市長。兩人的愛情就在地下悄悄地進行,但是Robert始終沒有勇氣公開自己對Jana的愛情,每次回到家裏都違心的和妻子親吻、毫無反抗。這不只是因爲兩人之間有瘋癲的妻子的存在,而在Robert心中更重要的是他的仕途和他的公衆形象。Jana幾乎被Robert曖昧的態度逼瘋了。影片結尾時妻子Teta去世,只剩下Jana和Robert兩個人,但是這個虛僞懦弱的男人仍然不原意將自己和Jana的愛情公之於衆,於是生氣失望的Jana拎起箱子拂袖而去······

Vlcí jáma是導演Jirí Weiss的第一部長篇,也是他最著名的一部影片,為他獲得了很大的成功和很高的聲望。導演將故事片的背景設定為上世紀20年代,揭露了一戰之後中產階級的自私、虛僞、陳腐、世故。導演以他的技巧很好的駕馭了故事片,包括心理波瀾上的表現手法、流暢的剪切、全景鏡頭的使用,等等,使這樣一部本身就非常具有深刻的社會意義的故事片,有了更加與衆不同、不同尋常的外貌和形態。
