憨豆先生精选辑

　　墨西哥2000年著名导演胡安.卡洛斯.德.拉卡作品，荣获墨西哥里尔电影奖银阿里尔奖，芝加哥拉丁电影节最受欢迎电影奖，哈瓦那电影节特别奖。
　　简介：故事发生的墨西哥城，一个家族中的成员们总是因为一些锁事而大动干戈。在一次作为私生子的罗德里格与他父亲的争吵中，祖父突然去世了，依照他们深爱的祖父的遗愿，罗德里格和堂弟悄悄带走祖父的骨灰，并偷了一辆小汽车向阿卡普尔前进，他们的旅行充满了趣味和冒险，终于来到了目的地，同时也发现了祖父生前鲜为人知的秘密...

　　本片改编自一个古典的捷克传说：一个钟表匠杰米和他那爱嫉妒的朋友——一只调皮的山羊的故事。他们俩冒险去救布拉格的巨大时钟和杰米的爱人，她被一股试图阻止钟表成形的邪恶力量所控制。

　　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.
