Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth. With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50. Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned. Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.
由于杏(平手友梨奈 飾)轉往美國的法律事務所,藏前(室毅 飾)失去了負責照看的律師,因此被所長暗示即將終止契約。剛好此時,他得知人氣“藝能型律師”樋口新(木南晴夏 飾)正準備從事務所獨立開業(yè)。藏前隨即親自上門請求:“請務必讓我在您手下工作。”在被爽快答應的當場,他慌忙簽了文件,卻不知道這正是“地獄的開端”。
露絲·威爾森、庫什·珍寶、裴淳華正商談主演改編自大熱音樂劇《The Band》的新片[最偉大的時光](Greatest Days,暫譯)。影片由科奇·吉爾佐(《名姝》)執(zhí)導,片名靈感源自英國流行組合接招合唱團(Take That)的同名歌曲。故事圍繞著五名女學生展開,她們在自己最喜歡的男孩樂隊的演唱會上,度過了一生中最難忘的夜晚。25年后,她們的生活以及生活方式發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化,她們相聚在一起回望過去并探索未來。接招合唱團成員包括加里·巴洛、霍華德·唐納德、杰森·奧蘭奇、馬克·歐文和羅比·威廉姆斯。環(huán)球音樂集團將全力助陣該項目,接招合唱團的大量歌曲將獲得使用,包括《Patience》《Back For Good》《A Million Love Songs》《Relight My Fire》《Could It Be Magic》等金曲將全部在影片中呈現(xiàn)。
改編自賽珍珠的普立茲獎小說,是好萊塢在三十年代開始注意東方題材的代表性作品。影片雖是描寫中國農(nóng)村夫婦的悲劇故事,但主角均由美國人扮演,導演悉尼.弗蘭克林也采取西方古典電影的風格來處理,在制作上相當嚴謹認真。劇情描寫保羅.茂尼與路易絲.萊娜本來是貧困的農(nóng)民,面對饑荒的威脅甚至以烤土充饑。后來茂尼得到了一筆財富,竟整天花天酒地迷戀情婦,萊娜只有發(fā)揮賢妻的耐性期待丈夫浪子回頭。今天看來類似故事已顯得老套,但本片的拍攝與特技表現(xiàn)杰出,路易絲.萊娜亦獲得奧斯卡最佳女主角獎。
