年輕時的教授風流倜儻,是一個有拋妻棄子記錄的精神貴族;老來惡疾纏身,生命中只有不能承受的痛苦。餘恨未消的兒子散盡千金打點一切,站在病床邊,終於明白父親對生命的熱愛……由《單車竊賊》到《老豆堅過美利堅》,父子隔閡無分貴賤,成為電影的永恆主題,因為它像生命——待你大徹大悟,已經消逝無蹤。電影在各地得獎無數,包括康城影展最佳編劇和最佳女主角、美國奧斯卡最佳外語片等。
Professor Remy has devoted his life to wine, women and left-wing
causes, and now he faces death by cancer, certain and soon.
With no wife, no son and no friends by his side, he seems
to be heading for a miserable and lonely end. In this warm,
wise and witty story, however, he will have gotten away
with everything, and be forgiven and beloved. A film about
a man who dies about as pleasantly as it's possible to
imagine.
