像野蛮人一样

　　This is story about a dentist with the talent of painlessly extracting teeth, and what happens to him as a result of being naturally good at his job. It is told with humour (much of it quite subtle, almost surreal, and in the background - imagine a street scene where everyone on the sidewalk on one side of the road walks in just one direction, and on the other side in the other), poignancy, and a frequent breaking of the 4th wall between the movie and the audience (think of what happens in Shakespeare's plays, and you'll be close). It also features some songs by Novella Matveyeva, a famous Russian singer-songwriter (her songs are sung by the leading actress).

法国电影大师弗朗索瓦·欧容的喜剧作品，亦是其“女性三部曲”（《八美图》《花瓶》）的最后一部，改编自法国剧作家乔治·贝尔和路易·韦纳伊的同名戏剧。故事背景置于上世纪三十年代，贫穷演员玛德琳被指控谋杀，在好友帮助下成功翻案并成为名角之后的种种故事。欧容以经典默片戏中戏的表现手法，轻松又略带无厘头地敲响了荒诞时刻：“坏人”因一出谎言成了好人，带来一场属于坚毅姐妹花的胜利。“于姨”伊莎贝尔·于佩尔以世界著名女演员莎拉·伯恩哈特为原型，在本片中饰演一名“天降神兵”般的关键人物。
