Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!
领略莎翁文字之美，请不要去影院啃生肉，至少配台词字幕。
台词还是值得品咂的，直观地感受到了莎翁的魅力
老师连着两次课都提了这部电影，我os：那我去看看吧
前方的那把，原来是门的把手——通向D死亡的门——它打开了…
莎翁剧到底适合什么样的影像表现形式？室内+黑白+多象征
颁奖季 nothing to comment
这样的话一年能改很多部戏剧为电影啊
黑白片，但摄影技术很高超！卡斯强大啊！个人不太喜欢这种题材，3颗星。
绝妙的视觉风格，感觉把黑白光影运用到了极致，呈现的效果超越了一般意义上的复古。但同时也几乎放弃了对原作的任何解读，感觉就像是用影像的形式看了一版set design极其出色但文本保守演绎也没有态度的话剧。
太平庸了 麦克白这么经典的故事本来就很难拍出彩了 冲着黑白摄影和极简布景来看 也没感觉多惊艳 人物表演更是一言难尽了
纽约电影节开幕片，见到了Joel Coen, Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand。坦白说台词几乎一句都没听懂，莎士比亚般的对白实在考验听力，而且这场好晚好晚，开头有点昏昏欲睡。喜欢打光和摄影，结尾的设计。这部真的没有太多“科恩”的感觉。
科恩单飞之后的预热吧，摄影极具风格，结合建筑光影关系凸显人物内心的磊落与阴暗，这样的处理在以往电影中只作为辅助手段，这次科恩却把建筑视觉语音以舞台背景元素强调表现矛盾冲突。这也算是对莎翁戏剧《麦克白》的全新解读。可建筑光影交替和莎翁极具交响乐般的对白，无法在影片中交相辉映，略显撕扯。丹泽尔.华盛顿的内心挣扎实在显得有些疲惫，看不出本能的纠结，只有学院话戏剧功底的堆砌。
好无趣呀科恩为什么要拍麦克白？在剧情无创造的情况下，比角色更出戏的真的是口音。布景、运镜和表演都在全力为舞台剧感让位，电影感极弱。对麦克白夫人的塑造非常失望，居然全靠发型衬托心境。
表现主义的重现契合麦克白暴君性的一面，可电影的优点也仅限于此。
刚看完剧本看这个 这片还真的蛮遵循原著的
与其说是电影，不如说是影视戏剧更加合适。光线、布景堪称影视艺术巅峰，美学已经达到几何级别。但是吧，这片的文学性过高了，非常不接地气，大段大段的对白过去好像讲了什么，也好像没讲什么，就像语文老师在台上念了一个半小时文言文，好像觉得很nb，但是好像也喜欢不进去。另外，莎翁戏剧下这么多黑人实在让人有些出戏。
这就是学院派吗？影像逼格满满的，摄影，场景极具风格化和美学效果，极简主义的几何建筑构型，黑白画面配合烟雾缭绕的气氛。台词很古风和剧场化，是莎翁原台词还是新写的？这部可能是典型的形式大于内容？因为我看完后最大感受不是故事带来的享受与震撼，而是对美术摄影等所具匠气的佩服，而改编自同一剧本的黑泽明的《蜘蛛巢城》在电影化和叙事上显然做得更好，更多的体现了贪婪欲望罪恶等在麦克白命运中造就的悲剧。
不喜欢这样的科恩，以前的作者性荡然无存，摄影上的极度写意也无法掩盖导演创作能力枯竭的事实。反而是两位演员最出彩，只可惜他们奥斯卡级别的表演被这样一个平庸的剧本给生生的浪费了。 注：赶快让两个科恩合体吧，这部实在是没劲。
Billy Shakes for Christmas。文盲如我自然是听不太懂，但谁会料到今年最jaw-dropping的视听体验不是沙丘而是这个。I still pray to the Coen Brothers
光看画面不错，麦克白是不是黑人我也不懂，德不配位是肯定的。当大型实景舞台剧看看还行，多的意思也不大。
