咸丰二年（1852年），颇有姿色的叶赫那拉氏玉兰（刘晓庆）被选进宫册封为贵人，由于历史上叶赫那拉与爱新觉罗两家族有宿仇，玉兰起初不得咸丰（梁家辉）的宠幸，但善于心计的她终以一曲哀怨缠绵小调和倾城美貌将咸丰紧紧捆绑，被册封为懿嫔，又因生下儿子载淳，被进封为懿贵妃，地位一时除皇后（陈烨）外，无人可及。清宫各嫔妃争宠、咸丰耽于享乐之时，觊觎大清财富良久的英法等帝国对中国屡次发兵侵犯，胆小怕事的咸丰在肃清等八位大臣的规劝下，丢下举世闻名的有“万园之园”之称的圆明园，以“秋猎”之名携带众嫔妃逃到了热河行宫，继续“两耳不闻窗外事，一心只行及时乐”的奢淫生活。

回复 :This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs.This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal.The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society.The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.

回复 :It is a great film by a great director.Kira Muratova has never been given her due in the Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.In the "Long Good Bye" she depicts a seemingly banal story of a jealous and possessive mother (brilliantly acted by Zinaida Sharko) and her poor aloof and lonely son (the only cinematic role by the talented O. Vladimirsky). The story - which is nothing extraordinary in itself - grows into the wonderful and frightening analysis of alienation between genders and generations on the background of the even more frighteningly bleak and dehumanized Soviet reality.Kira Muratova shows the tiny details of everyday Soviet life,and, again , banal as they are ,they are a hair-raising horror.The dialogue is deliberately laconic and void of any sense, showing the ever-growing people's inability to communicate and understand each other.The sound track ( by another under-estimated talent, Oleg Karavaichuk)adds to the atmosphere of hopeless and meaningless existence.Of course,Sasha (the name of the protagonist),will leave his despotic ( but loving!) mother sooner or later, but where for?
