Mr. Arkadin1955
Discovering the past can be murder...
Claiming that he doesn't know his own past, a rich man enlists an ex-con with an odd bit of detective work. Gregory Arkadin says he can't remember anything before the late 1920s, and convict Guy Van Stratten is happy to take the job of exploring his new acquaintance's life story. Guy's research turns up stunning details about his employer's past, and as his work seems linked to untimely deaths, the mystery surrounding Mr. Arkadin deepens.

值得反复强调,威尔斯多数电影应作为本雅明意义上的Trauerspiels被理解.对前世秘密亦即权力之本质的追溯在自然史层面展开:消逝和隳颓的普遍命运要罢黜一切功业,穿过掩埋着的年份,造物的叹息声回荡于废墟之上;某个寄喻性的东西——有时是具体物件,有时是名字和故事——纠缠着将亡或无力决断的安佛塔斯,他必得通过拯救自己的历史而被从历史中拯救出来(以本片及《公民凯恩》《不朽故事》为典型).那些大仰角,表现主义布景,夸张的长镜与快速剪辑皆同巴洛克戏剧的粗野相配,身兼君主和受难者的人物,陷落于忧郁(麦克白,克莱),自戕(昆兰,阿卡丁),妄念(凯恩,安巴逊)与背叛(亨利四世,奥赛罗)……名誉之爱既毁,有何情感能栖身一颗已空了的心?行将就木的疯王只是住进浮华的仙那度,徒然不停派出他的傻子西木和小丑克拉林.
A / 瑕疵也不是没有，有几处情感点做得显然不够充分。但这令人神魂颠倒的语气、这翻手为云覆手为雨的叙事能力可真是……某些角度来讲甚至胜过《公民凯恩》。
导演实在是牛逼！
