被老公后辈欺负的那天

 改编自赛珍珠的普立兹奖小说，是好莱坞在三十年代开始注意东方题材的代表性作品。影片虽是描写中国农村夫妇的悲剧故事，但主角均由美国人扮演，导演悉尼．弗兰克林也采取西方古典电影的风格来处理，在制作上相当严谨认真。剧情描写保罗．茂尼与路易丝．莱娜本来是贫困的农民，面对饥荒的威胁甚至以烤土充饥。后来茂尼得到了一笔财富，竟整天花天酒地迷恋情妇，莱娜只有发挥贤妻的耐性期待丈夫浪子回头。今天看来类似故事已显得老套，但本片的拍摄与特技表现杰出，路易丝．莱娜亦获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。

 影片以重复加碎片式的感官叙事手法，讲述了年迈且身患疾病的安东尼（安东尼·霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰）正在面临一项艰难的人生选择——是搬到养老院还是接受女儿寻找的新护工。在这个过程中，安东尼发现自己仿佛进入了一场奇怪的时空之旅，错乱的记忆和时间线交织出一段段匪夷所思的故事，而一个个陌生又熟悉的人也让他陷入迷茫。影片根据法国小说家兼剧作家佛罗莱恩·泽勒的舞台剧《父亲》改编。

　　A Boston police officer goes to Nantucket to investigate the murder of his partner, but he finds more than he bargained for.

　　Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered. She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for. A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to "back the f-off". However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight year old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.
