脱线家族

 时钟刚刚指向8点，市群众艺术馆开始了一天的忙碌，办公室主任姜明凤有节奏的脚步声，引起馆里女人们一阵无声的慌乱。经过艰难交涉，501建筑公司终于退还了群众艺术馆的一套住房。 馆里唯一的一位有文凭的中年知识分子孙玉萍，祖孙三代同住在文化舞厅楼下的一间房子里，可由于她的爱人吴心恬只是市委党校的一位普通的教员，所以，几次调房都轮不到他。只有扫肓文化程度的姜明凤，因为是文化局周局长的夫人，虽是办公室主任，但权势却大大超过了她的任职范围，为将这套住房弄到手，她一边做丈夫的工作，一边让副局长夫人魏京在下边做群众的工作。馆里大小夫人们为她要房大造舆论。 馆长郑昌盛十分同情孙玉萍，可夫人刘小蓉惧怕姜明凤，硬逼丈夫把房子给姜明凤。为难的郑馆长想以办书法展览为由，让孙玉萍搬进新房，将她的房子作展厅。郑馆长正要宣布这一决定，市里打来了不同意的电话。郑馆长的女儿郑雪琴也向追求自己的击局长的儿子周纯说希望孙玉萍搬进新房。在儿子的哄骗下，姜明凤无可奈何地放弃了竞争。吴心恬被提升为市里的副局长。郑馆长理直气壮地把房子分给了孙玉萍。 当人们去为孙玉萍搬家时，她却告诉人们已经退掉了这套房子，人们十分疑惑。吴心恬刚进家门，孙玉萍问他什么时候搬到市委家属大楼去。丈夫温和地警告了她。时钟又指向了8点，人们的耳际又传来了阵阵的高跟鞋敲击声。不过，它不再是昔日的姜明凤，而是散发着青春魅力的孙玉萍。 所获奖项 1989年获保加利亚第十五届卡布洛沃国际讽刺喜剧电影节荣誉奖

　　An outstanding comedy whose poetic style hearkens back to the films of Wes Anderson. It tells of a youngster focused on winning the nationwide drumming championship in spite of certain obstacles – such as not having any drums! A film that is every bit as hardcore as Jimmy Page’s guitar, and every bit as endearing as Robert Plant’s waistcoats.
　　There are a lot of films that stick to the hackneyed theme of the outsider bent on fulfilling his dream in spite of all the odds – thanks to which he not only achieves his coveted success but, moreover, instils hope in the hearts of the weak and degraded through his courage and determination. But none of these films has had a protagonist as charismatic as Power – a young man obsessed with drumming drumlessly (read: steady gesticulation set to the rhythm of legendary heavy metal anthems), whose aim is to win the nationwide drumming championship, support striking miners in New Mexico and win the heart of a girl who went deaf at the age of three at a Status Quo concert. This brilliant comedy – reminiscent of the films of Wes Anderson in its fascination with bizarre twists on standard genre themes – will thrill you even if you are not a fan of 1970s hard-rock dinosaurs. But you mustn’t forget Power’s creed while you’re watching: “I don’t need drums. I am drums!"
　　About the director
　　Ari Gold received a Student Oscar in 2000 for his film Helicopter, an experimental short film in which he used authentic photography, scene reconstructions and animated sequences to tell of the tragic death of his mother. The Sundance Festival accepted Gold’s short student films for three consecutive years, and one of them – the sixty-second film Culture, which the filmmaker accompanied with a 10-point manifesto signed with the pseudonym Ari von Gold – elicited (particularly in Serbia) a wave of similar films of exactly one minute in length avowing “Dogma 99”. In addition to filmmaking, Ari Gold is also a dedicated musician – he sings in the bands The Honey Brothers and The Gold Brothers, he plays the ukulele, the piano and occasionally the drums. The film Adventures of Power is his first feature-length film.

 孙博士虽然满腹经纶，无奈言语木讷、囊中羞涩，常遭妻子训斥、儿子“驾驭”，出门在外，也受尽白眼。他的学生张医生却是“遭遇激情”，身为精神病主治大夫却无力治愈丈夫的欲望。精神病人斗殴，张医生唤医务人员强行制止。电击会损伤病人的短期记忆，张医生觉得用新研制的药物结合心理治疗对病人比较有利。博士买菜刚踏进院门，便听见妻子怒斥邻居牛记者，原来博士的儿子拿牛家的金鱼喂了狗，博士妻不分青红皂白斥责牛记者不该让他的金鱼伤了她家名狗的肠胃。博士忙劝妻子息怒，不料妻子称过他买来的鱼，见不足斤两，更是火上浇油，命他回菜场讨回差价。张医生约博士星期天商谈。妻子不允：这不是美国!想性解放、自由化!博士招架不住，逃出家门。街上形形色色的广告，引发博士奇想——他要发明一种神药，改变妻子、张医生的丈夫、病人和各种怪人的脾性。博士与张医生一拍即合，两人合力研制，功夫不负有心人，新药使蛮横的妻子柔情似水、通情达理；张医生的“占有狂”丈夫变得温文尔雅、体贴入微；狂躁不安的病人也变得循规蹈矩。牛记者获悉，抢先报道，一时间，各报纷纷以醒目的标题宣传神药，各经营单位都想订购，牛记者也因此解决了夫妻分居两地无法团聚的事宜。博士的儿子乘其不备溜进实验室，好奇心起，将药剂乱配一气，致使药性大乱，服药的病人恢复旧貌，甚至变本加厉。博士被停职反省、扣发工资，而且不断遭群众围攻、责难。博士妻挺身而出，说医治脾性不靠灵丹妙药，“神药”乃是一颗爱心。
