旮旯山

　　In this very late 60's irreverent, almost anarchic low-budget film, Brian De Palma defines more of his strange, given Hitchcock-like fascination of voyeurism, and attacks the issues of the day. The most prominent of which, both cringe-inducing and just plain funny, is when he focuses on the black-power movement (a black woman handing out fliers asking white people 'do you know what it's like to be black'), which is something that could only work for that time and place, not before or now.
　　But one of the key things to the interest in the film is 27 year old Robert De Niro (not his first or last film with the director), who plays this character who sits in a room looking out through his telescope at women in their rooms, setting up phony deals, and in the end basically throwing bombs. Those who have said that De Niro can't act and just is himself in every movie should see this movie, if only out of some minor curiosity. A couple of times in the film it's actually not funny, as when there's a disturbance in a black-power meeting (filmed in a grainer, rougher style than the rest of the film).
　　In the end it's capped off with a rambling monologue in an interview that tops De Niro's in King of Comedy. It's pretty obvious where De Palma's career would go after this, into slightly more mainstream Hollywood territory, but all of his trademarks are here; the dark, almost nail-biting comedy, the perfectly timed style of voyeurism, and interesting usage of locals. Think if De Palma and De Niro did a Monty Python film, only even more low-budget and in its New York way just as off-the-hinges, and you got Hi, Mom! It also contains an eccentric and funny soundtrack.

　　故事发生在1977年的法国，罗伯特（法布莱斯·鲁奇尼 Fabrice Luchini 饰）是一位作风十分独断专行的工厂老板，他不仅对手下的工人们十分严格苛刻，在家庭里亦是一位不折不扣的“大丈夫”。长久以来的压迫令工人们愤怒的呼号声到达了顶峰，他们举行了规模浩大的罢工示威，他们要更少的工作和更多的薪水，还逼迫罗伯特下台。
　　就在这个节骨眼上，罗伯特那平日里默默无闻的妻子苏珊娜（凯瑟琳·德纳芙 Catherine Deneuve 饰）站了出来，她不仅利用自己灵活的社交手腕安抚了工人们的愤怒，甚至让他们乖乖的回到了各自的工作岗位之上。在苏珊娜的领导之下，工厂恢复了生产，工人们的工作条件得到了改善，然而，对于这一切，此时正在外地疗养的罗伯特一无所知。

　　Malvís (Alfredo Landa) is sick of working like crazy for nothing. He'd rather become a bandit, that's much better, he's gonna be the fearful Fendetestas! He'll spread panic in the woods of his region. But there's a little problem: there aren't much people living in his region, everyone knows everyone and everyone is so poor, so is gonna be difficult that someone takes Malvís/Fendetestas too seriously.
　　This is a magic history, so funny, and full of situations that will make you laugh. It's also full of characters that belong to the Spanish idiosyncrasy: the strict priest, the Guardia Civil, the old devout women, the village idiot... there's even a lost soul wandering around the woods.
　　The great Alfredo Landa heads a cast that gathered together the best two generations of Spanish scene: from Fernando Rey to Encarna Paso, from Manuel Alexandre to María Isbert... A cast like that would be just unthinkable nowadays. "El Bosque Animado" was the first movie of José Luis Cuerda's trilogy of rural comedies (after this one he made the surreal "Amanece Que No Es Poco", and "Así En El Cielo Como En La Tierra". Those are movies so personal that stress the Spanish culture. The young directors should take note of films like "El Bosque Animado", instead of trying to be the new "enfant terrible" and imitating US worst cinema.

　　阿兰（丹尼·伯恩 Dany Boon 饰）和瓦莱丽（瓦莱丽·博纳东 Valérie Bonneton 饰）结婚多年，共同生养了一个美丽乖巧的女儿，然而，夫妻两人同样火爆的个性令这段并不怎么和谐的婚姻最后以离婚告终，他们彼此都发誓这辈子也不愿意再见到对方。

　　马塞洛（马塞洛·马斯楚安尼 Marcello Mastroianni 饰）、菲利普（菲利浦·诺瓦雷 Philippe Noiret 饰）、雨果（乌戈·托格内吉 Ugo Tognazzi 饰）和米歇尔（米歇尔·皮寇利 Michel Piccoli 饰）是四个事业有成但心灵空虚的中年男人，面对再无可恋的世界，四人决定以一种极其夸张的方式在极致的快感中迎来他们的死亡。
　　四人驱车来到了一幢地处偏远的别墅中，这里就是他们的死地，紧接着，一场十分荒唐却又极尽奢华的狂欢盛宴开始了，四人彻底抛弃了作为人的属性，任凭兽性肆虐。为了给这场死亡之宴增加亮点，他们邀请了三个妓女和一个小学女教师加入他们的行列。很快，对屋子里的一切忍无可忍的妓女们离开了，但小学女教师的兴致似乎比这四个疯狂的男人还有过之而无不及。

　　描述一个巡回展览会来到小镇，镇上的邮差阿叔穿上皱巴巴的制服和尺寸不合的大码鞋子，并踩上他那古董老单车，跟着热闹的人流去参观。他在展览会中偶然看到了一部关于美国邮政如何进行业务高效训练的影片后，觉得大有启发，便异想天开地模仿起来，开始将他的邮递服务加以现代化。当然他的唐吉诃德式的天真在实践过程中闹出不少笑话，在经历了一番冒险带来的奇遇之旅后，他只得回到小镇上继续那平淡枯燥的生活和工作。 法国喜剧大师雅克·塔蒂的处女作，与他后来的几部力作一样，几乎不用对白，只有各种自然的声响，加上凭演员的出色肢体动作和表演出彩。影片一如导演后来的作品，拿与周边世界格格不入的人物作为主角，用意在于抨击物质高度发展的现代社会给人类带来的不协调，对文明的进步和制度化的生活是否能给人类带来便利持怀疑甚至否定的态度。导演塔蒂有法国卓别林之称，因此影片中笑料不断。
