All it takes to make a man of a boy is a woman.

At a village railway station in occupied Czechoslovakia, a bumbling dispatcher’s apprentice longs to liberate himself from his virginity. Oblivious to the war and the resistance that surrounds him, this young man embarks on a journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery, encountering a universe of frustration, eroticism, and adventure within his sleepy backwater depot.

冰红深蓝 4.00/5.00

伊利·曼佐代表作,1968年奥斯卡最佳外语片。1.改编自赫拉巴尔同名小说,将苦痛憋闷的战时往事以轻柔戏谑的笔触铺展出来,极富黑色幽默,同时解构关于抵抗战争的英雄神话:一个在妓院里割双腕的苦闷处男,在完成性事的成人礼后,终于义无反顾地为国捐躯。2.影片始终将性与民族/战争相并置,一如那一方方车站印章,既敲在德军作战地图上,又悉数盖在女车站员的身体上,还有照相馆里男女在飞机上接吻的摆拍,一夜云雨未果后,次日的照相馆即被猝然炸成废墟。3.两人将吻未至时,女列车员被开动的火车带走,这一喜剧式的片头却呼应着悲伤的收尾——米罗与火车一同离去,同归于尽。4.德方对“印章事件”的定性:侮辱和贬低了德语,面对笑逐颜开的女孩,米罗欲言又止地转身离开,一去不回。在爆炸后的漫天尘埃里,一切都显得如此荒诞而残酷。(8.5/10)
