天意

简介：影片主角是一个78岁的英国著名作家，他身患沉痾却仍然酗酒成性，轻诺寡言。夜晚不时陷于噩梦的环绕纠缠中，令他异想天开，一边揣摩着他最初一部作品的情节构思，一边回忆着他的往事。因此，噩梦、他的想象加上往事的回忆互相搅浑在一起，合营构成了他作品的故事框架。　　影片将文学创作的进程跟梦想、愤慨等融为一体，制作了一个精美的弗洛伊德哑谜。这是雷奈的第一部用英语拍摄的影片。剧本比力拗口罗嗦，有较重的文学味，影片被以为是雷奈的佳构，博加德的表演尤其精湛，但一般观众可能会感觉单调有趣。　　Clive Langham (Sir John Gielgud) spends one tormenting night in his bed suffering from health problems and thinking up a story based on his relatives. He is a bitter man and he shows, through flashbacks, how spiteful, conniving and treacherous his family is. But is this how they really are or is it his own vindictive slant on things
