美国甜心

本片是根据畅销书改编而成的。詹妮弗·康纳利在片中扮演一位对自己的婚姻感到非常厌倦的已婚妇女，布莱德利·库珀扮演她的丈夫，同时与另外一个女人纠缠不清。几个人的故事交错重叠，让人感叹人类行为的虚伪性：你真的了解你的男人吗？也许他满口甜言蜜语，但其实他并没有那么喜欢你！也许他和你约会，也打电话跟你聊天，但其实他并没有那么喜欢你！也许他和你每次见面都上床，但其实并没有那么喜欢你……。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power. Digitised in 4K and restored in 2K, based on the 35mm camera negative, by the National Film Archive of the Slovak Film Institute. The original film elements are preserved by the National Film Archive of the Slovak Film Institute. Eva Näripe。
