兩名富貴的高中生,在巴黎生活得太安逸,於是隨手勒死了一名無關痛癢的美女,他們互不相識,但這真的是一件「無動機的罪案」?他們熱愛哲學思辨,反省二戰罪咎,反覆思量著名德國猶太裔女哲學家漢娜·鄂蘭所說的「平庸之惡」的化身?還是佛洛伊德式家族歷史的壓抑復返?片名來自爵士歌手Peggy Lee的性感名曲《發燒》(1958),由法國女歌手Camille全新詮釋,或輕快,或拔尖,或懸疑,或挑逗,如芳魂作祟,縈繞全片。

At the beginning of Fever, two Parisian high school kids, Damien (Martin Loizillon) and Pierre (Pierre Moure), strangle a woman who is “too beautiful to die.” The two teenagers don’t know the victim. Has this “crime without motive” merely happened by chance? On the other hand, Zoe (Julie-Marie Parmentier), the optician in the neighborhood, bumps into them as they leave the crime scene. Since then, the teenage murderers who follow chance and women are being followed. They often contemplate philosophical questions and reflect upon the genocide guilt of WWII. Are they the embodiment of what Hannah Arendt calls “the banality of evil” or the Freudian return of the repressed family history? The film title comes from Peggy Lee’s sexually suggestive jazz number “Fever” (1958). The French singer Camille’s rendition of “Fever” repeatedly returns to haunt the film’s soundtrack and atmosphere with its deceptive lightheartedness.
