简介:这晚,纽约州又一名机场管理员巴克暴毙在停机坪上,尸体乾瘪瘪的被人完全抽干了所有的血。这一事件震撼了新闻界,因为先前在缅因州也发生了类似的命案,于是,“吸血鬼复活”的传言传遍了美国的大街小巷,一时人人惊慌。这晚,在马里兰州雷雨之夜,身穿漆黑大披风的夜行者再次驾驶飞机犯案,又两位无辜的市民度惨死在他手中,犯案情节竟和《吸血鬼瑞菲》的电影情节一模一样。报社主编莫里森(丹尼•莫纳汉 Dan Monahan 饰)让拥有飞机执照的资深记者理查德(米高•佛瑞 Miguel Ferrer 饰)越州对这一事件进行深入报导,到底还有多少人命丧恶魔之手?
简介:Based on an unknown Schönberg opera from 1929, From Today Until Tomorrow explores one night in a not-quite loveless marriage. A husband and wife return from a party where she has flirted with another man, while he has cast an appraising eye toward an attractive, fashionably dressed acquaintance of his wife’s. Though each dreams, briefly, of leaving the marriage for the excitement and mystery of a new lover, in the end they decide stability and comfort are more important than the fleeting thrill of new romance. Directors Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, who previously collaborated on two other films about music (The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, 1968, and Moses and Aaron, 1975), rely on long fixed shots in austere black-and-white so that the focus remains on the musical brilliance of Schönberg’s atonal score, performed here by 70 musicians. That Schönberg would choose such a relatively lighthearted message for his newly discovered musical language remains a mystery, especially since the conclusion reached by the husband and wife—to stick with the tried and true—seems directly at odds with Schönberg’s own philosophy of composing. It is just this juxtaposition, however, coupled with Straub and Huillet’s faithful presentation, that makes the opera a compelling addition to the Schönberg canon—and the film such a challenging and intriguing experience.
