兼职女郎1994

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

　　◎1975奧斯卡最佳外語片　　◎1974紐約影評人協會最佳導演及最佳影片　　三月，空氣中紛飛飄揚著輕軟絮草，教堂的鐘響迴盪在石板路上，小鎮的春天就此揭開序幕。時序回到三零年代亞德里亞海邊的小城，墨索里尼的極右理想仍是信奉的教條，建築工人老爸、家庭主婦老媽、遊手好閒的舅舅、頑皮的小弟，男孩在天主教、法西斯和義大利傳統家庭價值中，迎接他的青春與成長。教室裡捉弄老師的惡作劇、教堂裡擔心手淫的懺悔、鄉村海邊的熱鬧婚宴，費里尼從容隨意地摘選擷取小鎮生活的切片與軼事，密密織就一片記憶之網，在時代洪流與個人思憶之間相互輝映。　　費里尼曾說：「一個人所能做的紀錄，永遠是，也只能是對他自己的紀錄」。《阿瑪珂德》不但被推崇為其個人寫實語法的代表作，也被視為他最重要的自傳作品之一。影片一方面帶領觀眾走進費里尼的童年生活，看見他純真誠摯、幽默風趣的情感源頭。在時代景況的描繪上，也跳脫了純粹客觀、歷史觀察式的審視與檢驗，從最根本的生活細節著手，真實地重現了二次大戰前後義大利境內法西斯的樣貌。　　有趣的是，在《阿瑪珂德》中，我們也可清楚地看到費里尼對女性形象的思索與著迷，聖母、烈女、蕩婦的三位一體，母親與妓女形成了互為表裡的對比，而費里尼作品中一再出現的、體態豐腴、巨大的女體，不但是哺育孩童的母性泉源，也是青年性啟蒙的開端。
