勇闯天涯

Herbert Vesely was one of the promises for a new German cinema already in the 50's, but after the 60's his star was already dimmed. He made a small number of films in the 70's and 80's, all non too good. This biography of Egon Schiele, one of the most important Austrian artists, is an example of the pretensions and emptiness of a Vesely-film of later date. The life of Schiele is presented here as a puzzle| well, Vesely thinks that Schiele's life was a puzzle: the core of the story is centered around the famous 1912 pornography trial and using this as base the film shows fragments of past and future. The problem is that it never becomes a unity and that the order of scenes and sequences seems to be at random: a cut-and-paste job that could have had any other result. Indeed, after seeing it twice I am almost convinced of it that a unsatisfactory linear thought-out film was changed into the puzzle in the editing room. Egon Schiele was an enigmatic man, but not a total puzzle, and this film does not bring him any closer. The films also fails in conveying the eroticism and meaning of the Schiele's paintings: the camera watches and glides over the models without any understanding of Schiele's intentions, we only see beautiful naked bodies. If interested in Schiele, you better buy a book with his works in stead.。如今，“洗骨”仪式已经越来越少见，但位于冲绳群岛西侧的粟国岛仍然保留这一风俗。据说，当地人死后，尸体要埋在岛的西边，等到化为白骨时，亲人要挖出尸骨并亲手清洗，这样才能让死后的家人真正告别人世。新城一家的家乡在粟国岛的粟国村，大儿子新城刚回到栗国岛，准备帮已经离世的母亲惠美子清洗尸骨。独自在岛上生活的父亲新城信纲过得十分糟糕，因为妻子的去世，他又重新喝上了原本要戒掉的酒。大女儿优子也回到了家，在名古屋做发型师的她也遇到了生活中的各种困难。 一次“洗骨”仪式让一家人得以团聚，并开始重新审视自己……。
