坏小子巴比
35岁的巴比从来没有出过自己家那个脏乱低矮的小公寓,只认识他自己,家里的一只猫,和他那淫威滥施的母亲。他不仅要忍受母亲的打骂,还要和母亲做爱。但是,因这个环境而呆呆傻傻的巴比却有着可以惟妙惟肖的模仿任何人的天赋。一天,一个突然出现的酒气冲天的老头自称是他的父亲,把他赶出门。愤怒的巴比闷死了父母,走出了家门。巴比在这个陌生的世界里模仿着自己看到的一切。闹出了不少笑话,也受到不少挫折。一个意外的机会他穿上父亲的牧师服装,走上舞台开始模仿他所听到的各种声音,竟然一炮走红,受到众多歌迷的追捧。而他也发现自己有着可以与脑麻痹患者沟通的神奇能力。最终,巴比也遇到了自己的真爱。  澳大利亚1993年洛夫·德·希尔执导的R级黑色喜剧片,在93年威尼斯影展引起相当大震撼,并获得评审团特别奖,澳洲AFI电影奖最佳导演、最佳男主角等四项大奖,被称为90年代电影史上最重要的作品之一。  在这部疯狂而又深刻的片子里,导演洛夫·德·希尔把他的镜头直接指向了社会:善于模仿而又诚实的巴比就像一个镜子一样,照出了世间的万象,在他无知的种种可笑中,隐藏着奇特的庄严与悲哀。世间情态种种掩饰的面纱在他的模仿下,尽如掀裙子般被掀去,只余下杂乱而又可叹的本质。男主角扮演者克.霍伯在本片中表现出了惊人的表演潜力,巴比的纯真无知而又令人怜惜的性格让他演绎得淋漓尽致。本片在当年的威尼斯影展上引起震撼,并获得评审特别奖。

坐卧两用室
这是Richard Lester最好的一个片。  An absurdist classic  This is a wonderful surreal comedy based on the play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus. You know that it is going to be an odd film right at the beginning, when the opening credits list the cast in order of their height. The film begins with the BBC (Frank Thornton) telling us through the facade of an old television that this is the third, or is it the fourth, anniversary of the shortest war in history, lasting 2 hours and 28 minutes. England is now a barren landscape, littered with derelict cars and buildings, hills of old boots, broken crockery, and other debris. Forty million people perished and there are only 20 known survivors. The Queen did not survive, and of the 20 known survivors the next in line for the throne is a Mrs Ethel Schroake of 393a High Street, Leytonstone. Among the other survivors are Ralph Richardson (O Lucky Man!) as Lord Fortnum of Alamein, who isn't looking forward to his impending mutation into a bed sitting room. Michael Hordern is Bules Martin, who wears a 18-carat Hovis bread ring. Spike Milligan is a postman who wanders around and delivers some memorable dialogue, for example And in come the three bears - the daddy bear said, 'Who's been sleeping in my porridge' - and the mummy bear said, 'that's no porridge, that was my wife' . Arthur Lowe is slowly turning into a parrot (which is then eaten by Spike Milligan), while his wife, the owner of her own death certificate, turns into a wardrobe. His daughter is pregnant with a strange creature, which she has held inside her for seventeen months. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are a pair of policemen who perpetually tell the others to keep moving!. Moore growls a lot and turns into a dog at the end. Marty Feldman is a wellington-boot-wearing nurse. It's a hilarious, absurdist treat, and one of my treasured filmic pleasures.
