英雄再临

人人都羡慕麦克尔森一家人。作为一家之主，艾利（阿伦·瑞克曼 Alan Rickman 饰）在职场上呼风唤雨，在学术上更有颇有成就，妻子萨莎（玛丽·斯汀伯根 Mary Steenburgen 饰）是著名的精神病学家，在行业内享有很高的名望，不仅如此，儿子巴克利（布赖恩·加连保格 Bryan Greenberg 饰）更是一位即将毕业的准博士，前途不可估量。 这闪闪发光的一家人，无论走到哪里，都是人群中的焦点，而此时，艾利荣获诺贝尔化学奖的消息更是给这一家子镀上了一层金光。古人云盛极必衰，就在麦克尔森家被快乐笼罩之时，巴克利的失踪无异是当头一盆冷水，绑匪要求的赎金不多不少，恰恰就是艾利的奖金——200万美元。。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
