简介：The history of Danish country church architecture is told by showing scenes of how the church was used by the congregation, beginning with the celebration of mass in a small and simple wooden church 800 years ago, and ending with the congregation singing in a village church of to-day. The development and the growth of the pattern of church architecture is shown.Dreyer in this film shows a series of churches from different periods with churchgoers in period clothing. Each period is separated by a shot of a church bell double-exposed on the sky. Although the film has a vibrant and instructive way of communicating the different epochs and styles to students, it does not exhibit the artistic quality that usually distinguishes a Dreyer film, except perhaps in some of the costumes, which were originally made for Day of Wrath.The board of Dansk Kulturfilm in autumn 1945 decided that their planned church film would exclusively be about village churches. Dreyer would rework the script that was written by editor and folk high-school principal Bernhard Jensen, aided by a committee of experts consisting of architect H. Lønborg-Jensen and Victor Hermansen, curator at the National Museum of Denmark. Dreyer had a first draft ready in mid-March, entitled Kirken er et gammelt Hus ("The Church Is an Old House"), which was distributed to the members of the committee for their comments.In the last half of July, Dreyer and Victor Hermansen travelled the country to look at suitable churches. They researched the details and at Dreyer’s request a number of technical changes were made to the churches, including the removal of porcelain holders for electrical wiring in Tveje Merløse Church.On 4 July, Dreyer went in advance to Ringkøbing. Shooting was set to start a few days later with the arrival of the director of photography, Preben Frank, who had fallen off a ladder and broken his leg, Fortunately, he was ready to cautiously start working again within a few days, with his leg in a cast.Otherwise, the production went without a glitch. Everywhere, Dreyer said, they were well received at the vicarages and they had no problem getting enough extras. On 1 august, they returned to Copenhagen with almost all their footage in the can. They only needed to film the church in Skelby, where the weather had been against them, plus a Swedish wooden church in Hedared. The economy was distressed so soon after the war, especially when it came to foreign currency, but there were no real wooden churches left in Denmark and building an interior set in the studio would be too expensive.The finished film was shown for the first time on 24 September 1947 to a small, closed circle, which included the Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In December 1947, as was Dansk Kulturfilm’s standard practice, the film was presented to the press, politicians and others on a programme with four other short films.

简介：本片被认为是Ealing Studios出品的非喜剧作品中最优秀的一部，以黑色电影的手法刻画了伦敦东区工人阶级的浮生一日，堪称是激进现实主义（kitchen-sink）作品的先驱。2008年，在纽约的英国黑色电影放映季上，本片获得了美国影评人的高度赞扬，但是在此之前，本片一直鲜有人知，因此被认为是一部被忽略的1940年代英国电影杰作。《The Village Voice》夸赞本片是一部“描绘‘困境’与‘未遂心愿’的杰作，在闪回和多重叠加叙事方面极具创新性，韦瑟斯与麦卡勒姆的表演也精彩至极”。《Time Out》则评价本片是“令人无比兴奋的一部作品！一部生气十足却又凄惨无望的惊悚片，罗伯特·哈默的这部伦敦底层阶级乱炖所伴随的残忍无情与精准无误十分激荡人心，这是大部分电影都不敢尝试的，更别说能实现这一点了”。本片从一个阴雨连绵的周末清晨开始讲起，生活在伦敦东区的家庭主妇萝丝·桑迪盖特（乔姬·韦瑟斯 饰）偶然得知了汤米·斯万（约翰·麦卡勒姆 饰）逃狱的事情，萝丝不禁回想起往事，原来她与汤米曾是旧日情人，差一点便迈入婚姻殿堂，但就在俩人订婚后不久，汤米突然锒铛入狱，萝丝只好另嫁他人,令她没想到的是，逃狱后的汤米居然登门求助，念及旧情的萝丝只好将他藏匿在自己的卧室中。萝丝的丈夫乔治·桑迪盖特（爱德华·查普曼 饰）与前妻生有两个女儿——薇和多丽丝，薇怀有唱歌梦，与在乐队工作的已婚男人莫里·海姆斯暧昧不清，多丽丝则被海姆斯的兄弟卢看上，卢邀请她去夜总会工作，多丽丝的男朋友泰德因此与她大吵一架。福瑟吉尔警官一边追查汤米的下落，一边调查一起仓库失窃案，犯下失窃案的正是在东区游荡的怀提一帮人，他们为了转手赃物想尽办法，最终却被老尼斯利占了便宜，为了报仇，怀提决定暴力抢劫老尼斯利。到了深夜，萝丝打算帮助汤米逃跑，不料突然登门拜访的记者令萝丝陷入不知所措的困境。

导演：吉村公三郎
简介：吉村公三郎代表作，也是蘇珊．桑塔最喜愛的日本經典片之一。吉村愛向難度挑戰，喜歡實驗，討厭被歸類，是松竹的壞孩子，卻因此為日本電影開創出不少可能性。影片描寫日本戰後，末落貴族變賣大宅前舉行的最後一場舞會。吉村親歷這樣的一個舞會，他用所見所感，寫出一個個玲瓏浮凸的人物：戀棧風光的父親，目空一切的兒子，不肯放下身段的大女兒...道盡大時代的種種細碎。也是原節子代表作，這個洞悉世情的次女兒與父親起舞，成為全片焦點，也為時代作了精采的解讀。World War II is over, and the once-prominent Anjo family has fallen on hard times. They must finally sell the family home - but not before one last ball to recapture their glory days. However, old secrets and high emotions threaten to turn the evening into tragedy. Proud patriarch Tadahiko (Takizawa) can barely keep his unruly offspring in check, and tries every last trick to keep the house where he has spent the happiest years of his life. In his darkest hour, daughter Atsuko (frequent Ozu heroine, Hara Setsuko) shows her beleaguered father the hard-won dignity in starting over.SummerIFF 2007
