回复 :In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.
回复 :1950年代，国内某个偏远小火车站上有这样一群人：绰号“老解决”（赵子岳）的老站长，工作、生活经验丰富，车站与附近公社的大小事务，基本没有能难倒他的；外号“老怀表”（田烈）的老站务员，即将退休却不舍得退休，对于要来接替他工作的年轻同事，他是一百个不放心；兼管职工福利的站务员“秦广播”（陈志坚）人如其名，一天到晚播报着头条新闻；人称“小发明”（曹昌焕）的搬道员工作之余爱鼓捣小创造，他正和姐姐铁英（李长乐）计划着在小河边建个小发电站，好让车站和公社用上电，不过这事是瞒着“老解决”偷偷进行的。此外，车站附近的生产队上有一位人送外号“胖队长”（凌元）的妇女队长，她跟“老解决”已互相喜欢了很长时间，但双方都羞于表白。要接“老怀表”班的是原铁路业余学校的青年教员段志高（韩非）。满怀一腔热情投入到新的工作中时，书生气十足的段志高由于经验不足闹了许多洋相，惹得“老怀表”摇头叹气，对他颇为不满，但“老解决”很看重他这股子热心劲，认为假以时日他会有大作为。——段志高的能力，也的确如“老解决”所预言，他在筹建发电站一事上帮了“小发明”和铁英许多大忙。不久，筹建发电站一事被“老解决”得知，众人本以为他会生气，哪想他竟大加赞叹，而发现“万事俱备，只缺一个发电机”时，如何筹到一个发电机成了他的心头大事，一旁的“老怀表”也在听过段志高的方案讲述后改变了对他的看法。夜半“老解决”自言自语，所念叨的发电机被隔墙的“秦广播”理解成“胖队长”，于是次日天不亮他就迫不及待地向“胖队长”广播这条大新闻，巧的是，“老解决”刚好准备向“胖队长”借用发电机。两人随后的碰面令人捧腹。而段志高和铁英在朝夕相处中，也不知觉互生好感。
