歌声不绝

　　Netflix最新制作了一系列关于文化创意时尚工业领域的艺术纪录片《抽象: 设计的艺术（Abstract: The Art of Design）》，探访全球创意艺术名家，分享这些活跃于世界顶级设计领域舞台的设计师所持的创意艺术理念。

　　这部纪录片讲述了宝莱坞著名的罗斯汉家族 - 罗斯汉·拉尔·纳加拉特、拉杰什.罗斯汉、拉克什·罗斯汉和赫里尼克·罗斯汉 -所历经的考验与辉煌。

　　"Last Chance U" follows a group of young men training to become the future stars of the NFL. Based at East Mississippi Community College (EMCC), "Last Chance U" takes us on a journey to understand the real men of the gridiron at one of the most successful, but least known athletic programs. Each player has incredible talent and drive to be the best, but each face their own unique struggles both on and off the field. As their season takes an unexpected turn, the methods of this unconventional team are deeply called into question. With much to lose, they are constantly reminded of the stakes.

　　The film (and the acting) is superbly done, but the story is intense. I like it for its&♯39; dark, thick, "Cul du Sac" psychology but it is certainly not for everyone for that very reason. Set in isolated, rural France makes this film all the more desperate.
　　The film is about strenuous relationships, loyalty - and despair. It is about accepting hardships without really understanding them. It is also about pity and how it is to be distinguished from love and admiration. I&♯39;ve seen many French films with the same intensity and I&♯39;m guessing that it will be mostly the French who will enjoy this film.
　　The acting is superb in this film – if you&♯39;re in the right state of mind and don&♯39;t loose your concentration. Jean-François Stevenin ALWAYS impresses me. He doesn&♯39;t disappoint me here either. For general audiences, however, I&♯39;d recommend his performance in "Deux Lions au Soleil" which is much more easily palatable than "Peux de Vaches".
　　Despite the fact that I like "Peux de Vaches", I have difficulties recommending it to anyone other than French audiences and perhaps someone with a morose demeanor.

　　A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
　　Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle&♯39;s red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
　　This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar&♯39;s interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle&♯39;s conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
　　One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.
