介绍：Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.　　The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!

介绍：《四月的某时》(Sometimes in April)——描写西方世界没有参与调停的1994年卢旺达大屠杀的悲惨影片，加入了柏林电影节的竞赛单元，是为期11天的电影节中两部关于此暴行的影片之一与特里乔治的《卢旺达饭店》关注的是同一背景和题材，拉乌尔佩克却以不同的途径展示了内战的创伤。这两部影片和《卡雅利沙的卡门》可看出南非电影的升温。 浓笔重彩描绘出大屠杀血腥场面的《四月的某时》，比起同一题材的展映影片《卢旺达酒店》(Hotel Rwanda)，具有绝对的震慑力。　　　　这部由美国和卢旺达联合制作的影片，是第一部关于大约80万图西人和胡图族人遭到种族灭绝的主要影片，在卢旺达当地拍摄，并动用了大批当地居民作为临时演员。　　　　出生在海地的导演和人权积极分子拉乌尔-佩克(Raoul Peck)说，启用仍然对那场灾难记忆犹新的卢旺达人当临时演员，可能有助于外国观众更好地理解他们内心的恐惧。佩克强忍住泪说：“影片中所有的事情都是真实的。我认为难得有机会发生这种情况，各种族人们间的关系和冲突顷刻间全部爆发，任何可能发生的事情都成为了现实。”　　　　电影讲述了1994年4月，一名胡图族士兵在最初大屠杀的混乱里与图西族妻子和两个儿子失散的故事，10后当他与遇见他的兄弟泽维尔时，才获悉他们的命运。而身为记者的泽维尔正在坦桑尼亚Arusha的卢旺达国际法庭受审，罪名是通过电台广播煽动流血事件。影片中也提到了作为美国国务院官员的德博拉-温格(Debra Winger)，努力说服当时的总统比尔-克林顿采取行动。　　　　另一部在本周初上映的同样题材的影片《卢旺达酒店》(Hotel Rwanda)参加了柏林电影节的非竞赛单元。佩克说他有意识地决定，要比《卢旺达酒店》描绘更多栩栩如生的暴力场面。他说：“我的第一个目标是要把影片拍得尽可能真实残酷，又不会让观众掉头而去。我需要观众，我需要他们看完整部电影，走完这次恐怖之旅。这场有计划的种族屠杀发生的时候周围没有摄影机。”　　　　佩克花费了数个月的时间在卢旺达和坦桑尼亚进行调查，影片剧本中的部分内容来自审理团听证会的副本。他说，一些出演影片的卢旺达人声称他们不能演凶手，只能演受害者，因为10年前的悲剧仍然深入人心，椎心刺骨。佩克说，拍摄期间由5位专家组成的心理学家小组一天24小时都要驻守在片场。　　　　在片中扮演一名图西族受害者的比利时女演员卡罗尔-卡雷梅拉(Carole Karemera)说，电影的制作过程对许多身受其害的人来说，是一种精神治疗。她说：“经受了痛苦，你才会有羞耻心，才会安静下来。现在我们试着谈论这件事，也开始再次相信其余的人类。”
