简介：Paris, 1315. The Tour de Nesle, a guard tower on the banks of the Seine, has become a symbol of mystery and fear. Each morning, at its base, the bodies of handsome young aristocrats are found floating in the river, all butchered by sword or arrow. One evening, two noblemen, Buridan and Philippe d'Aulnay, find themselves in the infamous tower, lured there on the expectation of a night of unbridled passion. Little do they realise that they are to be the next victims of a woman who is determined to take revenge against all men - Margaret of Burgundy, the present Queen of France. Although Philippe is killed, Buridan escapes, and intends to blackmail the Queen. Unless she makes him her prime minister, he will expose her crimes to Philippe's brother and her husband, King Louis X. When she moves to eliminate Burdan, Margaret makes a terrible discovery... In the twilight years of his long and pretty uneven career, the great avant-garde film director Abel Gance made a number of films which, whilst not as grand and artistically inspired as his early silent masterpieces (La Roue (1923), Napoléon (1927)), still compared very favourably with the work of his contemporaries. Of these, La Tour de Nesle is a film that still stands up remarkably well today - an ambitious historical drama based on the famous 1832 play by Alexandre Dumas. It makes a nice companion piece to Gance's subsequent historical romp, Cyrano et d'Artagnan (1964). Needless to say, the film isn't to be commended on its historical accuracy. As any historian will tell you, the Alexandre Dumas version of French history is wildly fanciful, to say the least. However, this doesn't prevent La Tour de Nesle from being an entertaining and, at times, highly poignant, piece of cinema. Whilst the characterisation and dialogue leave much to be desired, the plot (a murky tale of cruel revenge and political intrigue) is gripping, and the film's artistic design is exceptional for a film of this period. Gance brings a strangely expressionistic touch to his use of colour and shade, something which adds to the darkly sinister nature of the plot, whilst imbuing the film with a striking sense of historical realism. A propos, Gance's assistant director Nelly Kaplan makes her screen début in a small role, shortly before she herself embarked on a successful film making career.

简介：影片通过一系列片断回忆一位老人所迷恋的一位极其高傲的女性。故事背景是幻想中的西班牙狂欢节。在咖啡馆中，老人把经历对游行中遇到的年轻朋友娓娓道来，这位年轻人同样是个伤心人。尽管他发誓不会重蹈老人的覆辙，但是却依然对傍晚与情人的约会期待万分。美艳绝伦的西班牙女郎，令男人神魂颠倒；位高权重的军卫被逗得心痒难耐，为她大洒金钱，只落得被玩弄摆布，与情敌决斗更差点赔上性命。 同一小说，在布纽尔手中成了超现实的《模糊的情欲对象》（1977）；史登堡亲自掌镜，双面娇娃的勾魂媚态，在如梦似幻光影下更教人欲拒还迎。是女人变幻无常，还是男人执迷自虐，才是情欲嘉年华的真实色相？大导与女神最后一次合作，虽面对外交风波与道德批判（十七分钟片段被剪），玛莲德烈治却自言是最心爱电影。
