回复 :From the harsh, nomadic life on the tundra to an uncertain future with five children. Four years in the life of a strong and charismatic woman.Life is raw and harsh out in the Arctic tundra, where young Ivanna lives a nomadic life with her five children. A tough and charismatic woman who is put to the test when she has to give up the traditional life of the Nenets people and move to the city. The climate is changing, her reindeers are dying, and her husband, Gena, has turned into an alcoholic because of his job at a gas plant. And even though Ivanna can put both him - and everyone else - in their place with her killer gaze and no-nonsense attitude, she harbours a desire to liberate herself from the violent relationship. Four years in Ivanna’s life have become a formidable film created with an artist’s eye for the material texture of the world where an image of a sleeping child, three fish and a hungry cat almost become a cosmic motif. This is vital, physical film art with an unforgettable woman at its centre. Meanwhile, Ivanna’s letters, which are read aloud by herself, lift her story above the raging of the elements. Director Renato Borrayo Serrano, who was born in Guatemala and lives in Russia, has created a drama about liberation and a melancholy requiem about a bygone way of life.
回复 :1964年Mississippi（密西西比，我的印象中一直不太好，名字都那么怪）的Nioba，一个非常黑暗的夜晚，Eli MacCleary和Caroline夫妇的车子在路上抛了锚，Eli独自前往找救援，留下Caroline在车上，他回来时发现太太倒在路边的树林里，她被强奸了。不久，Caroline怀孕生下儿子Michael。转眼十七年过去了，如今的Michael得了一种怪病，肿瘤压迫脑垂体使他经常发狂，不能自制，还有他那特殊的化学反应机制，这些都被医生认为是遗传病，但Eli和Caroline知道儿子不是他们的，为了找到真正的原因，他们又回到那个他们不愿提起的地方——Nioba，也从此揭开一个陈年的惊世奇案（或许叫做“奇冤”吧！）。原来，强奸Caroline的是Billy Connors，他与另一名在当地臭名昭著的Lionel Curwin的妻子通奸，被Lionel所在地窖里，饿极之下已失去理智，但Lionel有时会从表兄弟那里拿一些人的尸体回来喂他。后来，Lionel却不知被什么给撕碎吃掉了一部分，房子也给烧了，并成了墓地。知情的只有家族里的少数几人。在那个夜晚，Billy把仇恨种在了Caroline的身上。如今的Michael夜晚会四处寻找当年与Lionel有关的人，并把他们杀了，这种仇恨太可怕了·，一切已经不受控制……。影评：一部精神病和基因变异的的电影，故事讲得比较好，从科学理论上好像有点依据，只是时间上讲不过去。因为背景在密西西比的沼泽，使影片的气氛比较阴暗，但娱乐元素很丰富。电影里一直留有一个疑团到最后才揭晓，那就是Connors和Curwin家的那段仇恨的原因，可惜被我不小心在剧情里透露了出来。Ronny Cox曾在我们熟悉的《铁甲威龙》里饰演反面角色。总的来说，题材上是一部比较成功的B级制作电影。信鬼神的可认为是Michael被附了身，信科学的则......。
