介绍：Haunted by the memory of Walter Holderlin, a soldier he killed during World War I, French musician Paul Renard (Phillips Holmes) confesses to a priest (Frank Sheridan), who grants him absolution. Using the address on a letter he found on the dead man's body, Paul then travels to Germany to find his family.　　As anti-French sentiment continues to permeate Germany, Dr. Holderlin (Lionel Barrymore) initially refuses to welcome Paul into his home, but changes his mind when his son's fiancée Elsa identifies him as the man who has been leaving flowers on Walter's grave. Rather than reveal the real connection between them, Paul tells the Holderlin family he was a friend of their son, who attended the same musical conservatory he did.　　Although the hostile townspeople and local gossips disapprove, the Holderlins befriend Paul, who finds himself falling in love with Elsa (Nancy Carroll). When she shows Paul her former fiancé's bedroom, he becomes distraught and tells her the truth. She convinces him not to confess to Walter's parents, who have embraced him as their second son, and Paul agrees to forego easing his conscience and stays with his adopted family. Dr. Holderlin presents Walter's violin to Paul, who plays it while Elsa accompanies him on the piano.　　The film's original title, The Man I Killed, was changed to The Fifth Commandment to avoid giving wrong impressions in the minds of the public about the character of the story. It ultimately was released as Broken Lullaby.

介绍：Divided into three kingdoms -- Enfer (Hell), Purgatoire (Purgatory) and Paradis (Paradise) -- Notre Musique is an indictment of modern times.　　　　頑皮老頭高達在新作挑釁如常，堅持如舊，對電影愛情如一，但從形式到內容，卻續有新境比前作《愛之頌》更練達更擊中要害，是他近年最激的反思作品。三段結構的開篇〈地獄〉，戰地實錄與荷里活戰爭片交替，寓意彰甚：人類真會嗜戰。〈煉獄〉借薩拉熱窩做說書人，真實與虛構人物（包括高達自己）到此舉行文化圓桌會議，大家在寬恕迷宮中兜轉，唯有佇立已修復的莫斯塔古橋，才感一絲希望。高達最後領我們到〈天堂〉，人間竟有春色如許？但-有美軍駐守！全片最動人一幕：學生問 DV 可否打救電影？高達哀哀面向鏡頭，良久不語......

介绍：The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.　　The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,　　the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.　　Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.

介绍：◎简　　介　　以扣人心弦的笔法诉说身兼小偷、人质狭持者、精神病与游民等多重身份的男子史都华一生的故事除了描绘他前科累累、放荡不羈的鲜活人生，也藉此带出了英国下层社会有关暴力、毒品、监狱与犯罪等令人震撼的面貌，以极度真实而又几近残酷的写实手法，刻画出史都华失败潦倒的一生。但令人惊喜的是，作者与史都华都未以悲伤或自怜的口气来诉说哀伤的生命片段，反而能以充满趣味的口吻娓娓道来，使得整本书在浓鬱的哀愁中，却洋溢著活泼生动的韵律，是这部作品最奇特、也最具吸引力的地方。　　获奖：2008年英国电影学院奖提名最佳男演员
