老牌導演卜萬蒼首部為電懋執導的作品《同床異夢》，故事諧趣，講述一個女演員（李湄）如何貪慕虛榮，不甘寂寞，甚至結婚之後，還在外面胡天胡帝，結果被丈夫的哥哥（張揚）施計作弄，頓悟前非，從此與丈夫（雷震）過著幸福甜蜜的生活。本片寓教育於娛樂，使觀眾在笑聲中領悟夫妻相處之道。電懋兩位小生張揚與雷震分飾個性迥異的兄弟，盡顯當行本色；李湄先演好高騖遠、煙視媚行的女明星，後飾洗盡鉛華、平實溫柔的妻子，也是恰如其分。最值得注意的是王萊，一向慣演年長角色的她，在片中回復青春嬌俏，令人眼前一亮。

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.
