on Track
Synopsis
Healthy, caring and hardworking, Frank is a 40-year old everyday man blessed with a loving family with whom he just moves into a new house. Contemplating a shared bright future with his loved ones, his dream is shattered when he was suddenly diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor that leaves him no more than a few months to live. This painfully realistic unsentimental yet immensely moving drama records the emotional journey of a long goodbye where the terminal patient , along with his family, go through all kinds of emotional stages, ranging from denial, anger, bargaining and a final acceptance. Worked with a small crew and shot without a script, director Andreas Dresen creates his own cinematic rendition of reality with a sense of intimacy and poignancy that are rarely seen. And it is his humanity and his genuine respect for life that makes him one of the most important and admired auteurs in contemporary German cinema.
電影簡介
人生總有走到盡頭時，但正值黃金壯年就突如其來被死神召喚，命運開的這個玩笑未免太大了。40歲的Frank有份良好職業和美滿家庭，剛與家人搬進新屋，對前景充滿盼望，只是最近常常頭痛，檢查後卻得知原來早已罹患腦瘤，而且已經到達末期，生活一下子從天堂陷入地獄。當絕症患者孤獨地走向死亡道路，身邊的至親最愛何嘗不是受盡煎熬？被譽為德國當代電影，其中最重要的作者導演，安德亞斯卓辛拒絕煽情的糖衣，以即興電影，不疾不徐的紀實手法，堅持對生命的真正尊重，目的就是要讓觀眾見證死亡的真相。我們看不到英雄式的頓悟，沒有偏離人性的樂觀，讓我們深深感動落淚的，卻是平凡眾生為獲得快樂和愛，而在希望與絕望之間掙扎救存的天性。
