情节蓝本
Charles Burnett, one of America's most highly regarded independent filmmakers, wrote and directed this domestic drama about a black middle-class family living in South central Los Angeles. However, there are no gangs, no guns, no drugs but instead a lyrical story that draws on folklore and the supernatural.
family tensions are already simmering when Harry (Danny Glover) arrives to visit his old friends. He exudes an easy charm, knows secret past and present and is soon installed in the heart of the family. However, as his stay lengthens, so does he begin to cast an even more malevolent spell, provoking turmoil, setting son against son, reviving past hatreds, and inflicting a mysterious illness.
Glover delivers a career-topping performance as the garrulous family friend, full of hidden menace, effortlessly evoking nostalgia and horror in the same breath.
As ever, Burnett provides a wonderful music track featuring gospel, blues and jazz and a cameo from the legendary Jimmy Weatherspoon.
'A slow-burning, soul-insinuating, 12-bar blues of a movie.' Tom Charity, Time Out
'Danny Glover is marvellous, and terrifying, as a charismatic old-timer.' The Times
(from the description on the back cover of the DVD)
观众心声
21/6/22：闹剧的收场太有意思
难得细腻处理些的黑人题材电影，当然传承了平淡如水只谱写日常特点的同时也将戏剧性较弱无法构成明确的中心段落从而加深对主题的突出，单论群像戏调度的角度而言我认为还是很完美的，分分钟能从多人宴会转移到单人solo的剪辑不说私下里ng了多次我都不信，可惜后半段好多时候需要完美主义来进行维系的时刻就完成得不尽如人意了，也确实说明啥好处都不能兼得，锐利性磨去了就难免得用点其他的来替代这份张力
没套路的家庭戏 今日来看简直一股清流 却不缺少戏剧冲突 也会很适合搬上舞台
黑人中产保守派南方家庭受到挑战的故事
看到Susie终于下定决心要Harry离开的时候真的是长长得舒了一口气，而在Harry去世以后Gideon也奇迹般地好转
