In 1961, Stanislaw Rozewicz created the novella film "Birth Certificate" in cooperation with his brother, Taduesz Rozewicz as screenwriter. Such brother tandems are rare in the history of film but aside from family ties, Stanislaw (born in 1924) and Taduesz (born in 1921) were mutually bound by their love for the cinema. They were born and grew up in Radomsk, a small town which had "its madmen and its saints" and most importanly, the "Kinema" cinema, as Stanislaw recalls: for him cinema is "heaven, the whole world, enchantment". Tadeusz says he considers cinema both a charming market stall and a mysterious temple. "All this savage land has always attracted and fascinated me," he says. "I am devoured by cinema and I devour cinema; I'm a cinema eater." But Taduesz Rozewicz, an eminent writer, admits this unique form of cooperation was a problem to him: "It is the presence of the other person not only in the process of writing, but at its very core, which is inserperable for me from absolute solitude." Some scenes the brothers wrote together; others were created by the writer himself, following discussions with the director. But from the perspective of time, it is "Birth Certificate", rather than "Echo" or "The Wicked Gate", that Taduesz describes as his most intimate film. This is understandable. The tradgey from September 1939 in Poland was for the Rozewicz brothers their personal "birth certificate". When working on the film, the director said "This time it is all about shaking off, getting rid of the psychological burden which the war was for all of us. ... Cooperation with my brother was in this case easier, as we share many war memories. We wanted to show to adult viewers a picture of war as seen by a child. ... In reality, it is the adults who created the real world of massacres. Children beheld the horrors coming back to life, exhumed from underneath the ground, overwhelming the earth."
The principle of composition of "Birth Certificate" is not obvious. When watching a novella film, we tend to think in terms of traditional theatre. We expect that a miniature story will finish with a sharp point; the three film novellas in Rozewicz's work lack this feature. We do not know what will be happen to the boy making his alone through the forest towards the end of "On the Road". We do not know whether in "Letter from the Camp", the help offered by the small heroes to a Soviet prisoner will rescue him from the unknown fate of his compatriots. The fate of the Jewish girl from "Drop of Blood" is also unclear. Will she keep her new impersonation as "Marysia Malinowska"? Or will the Nazis make her into a representative of the "Nordic race"? Those questions were asked by the director for a reason. He preceived war as chaos and perdition, and not as linear history that could be reflected in a plot. Although "Birth Certificate" is saturated with moral content, it does not aim to be a morality play. But with the immense pressure of reality, no varient of fate should be excluded. This approached can be compared wth Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blind Chance" 25 years later, which pictured dramatic choices of a different era.
The film novella "On the Road" has a very sparing plot, but it drew special attention of the reviewers. The ominating overtone of the war films created by the Polish Film School at that time should be kept in mind. Mainly owing to Wajda, those films dealt with romantic heritage. They were permeated with pathos, bitterness, and irony. Rozewicz is an extraordinary artist. When narrating a story about a boy lost in a war zone, carrying some documents from the regiment office as if they were a treasure, the narrator in "On the Road" discovers rough prose where one should find poetry. And suddenly, the irrational touches this rather tame world. The boy, who until that moment resembled a Polish version of the Good Soldier Schweik, sets off, like Don Quixote, for his first and last battle. A critic described it as "an absurd gesture and someone else could surely use it to criticise the Polish style of dying. ... But the Rozewicz brothers do no accuse: they only compose an elegy for the picturesque peasant-soldier, probably the most important veteran of the Polish war of 1939-1945." "Birth Certificate" is not a lofty statement about national imponderabilia. The film reveals a plebeian perspective which Aleksander Jackieqicz once contrasted with those "lyrical lamentations" inherent in the Kordian tradition. However, a historical overview of Rozewicz's work shows that the distinctive style does not signify a fundamental difference in illustrating the Polish September. Just as the memorable scene from Wajda's "Lotna" was in fact an expression of desperation and distress, the same emotions permeate the final scene of "Birth Certificate". These are not ideological concepts, though once described as such and fervently debated, but rather psychological creations. In this specific case, observes Witold Zalewski, it is not about manifesting knightly pride, but about a gesture of a simple man who does not agree to be enslaved.
The novella "Drop of Blood" is, with Aleksander Ford's "Border Street", one of the first narrations of the fate of the Polish Jews during the Nazi occupation. The story about a girl literally looking for her place on earth has a dramatic dimension. Especially in the age of today's journalistic disputes, often manipulative, lacking in empathy and imbued with bad will, Rozewicz's story from the past shocks with its authenticity. The small herione of the story is the only one who survives a German raid on her family home. Physical survial does not, however, mean a return to normality. Her frightened departure from the rubbish dump that was her hideout lead her to a ruined apartment. Her walk around it is painful because still fresh signs of life are mixed with evidence of annihilation. Help is needed, but Mirka does not know anyone in the outside world. Her subsequent attempts express the state of the fugitive's spirits - from hope and faith, moving to doubt, a sense of oppression, and thickening fear, and finally to despair.
At the same time, the Jewish girl's search for refuge resembles the state of Polish society. The appearance of Mirka results in confusion, and later, trouble. This was already signalled by Rozewicz in an exceptional scene from "Letter from the Camp" in which the boy's neighbour, seeing a fugitive Russian soldier, retreats immediately, admitting that "Now, people worry only about themselves." Such embarassing excuses mask fear. During the occupation, no one feels safe. Neither social status not the aegis of a charity organisation protects against repression. We see the potential guardians of Mirka passing her back and forth among themselves. These are friendly hands but they cannot offer strong support. The story takes place on that thin line between solidarity and heroism. Solidarity arises spontaneously, but only some are capable of heroism. Help for the girl does not always result from compassion; sometimes it is based on past relations and personal ties (a neighbour of the doctor takes in the fugitive for a few days because of past friendship). Rozewicz portrays all of this in a subtle way; even the smallest gesture has significance. Take, for example, the conversation with a stranger on the train: short, as if jotted down on the margin, but so full of tension. And earlier, a peculiar examination of Polishness: the "Holy Father" prayer forced on Mirka by the village boys to check that she is not a Jew. Would not rising to the challenge mean a death sentance?
Viewed after many years, "Birth Certificate" discloses yet another quality that is not present in the works of the Polish School, but is prominent in later B-class war films. This is the picture of everyday life during the war and occupation outlined in the three novellas. It harmonises with the logic of speaking about "life after life". Small heroes of Rozewicz suddenly enter the reality of war, with no experience or scale with which to compare it. For them, the present is a natural extension of and at the same time a complete negation of the past. Consider the sleey small-town marketplace, through which armoured columns will shortly pass. Or meet the German motorcyclists, who look like aliens from outer space - a picture taken from an autopsy because this is how Stanislaw and Taduesz perceived the first Germans they ever met. Note the blurred silhouettes of people against a white wall who are being shot - at first they are shocking, but soon they will probably become a part of the grim landscape. In the city centre stands a prisoner camp on a sodden bog ("People perish likes flies; the bodies are transported during the night"); in the street the childern are running after a coal wagon to collect some precious pieces of fuel. There's a bustle around some food (a boy reproaches his younger brother's actions by singing: "The warrant officer's son is begging in front of the church? I'm going to tell mother!"); and the kitchen, which one evening becomes the proscenium of a real drama. And there are the symbols: a bar of chocolate forced upon a boy by a Wehrmacht soldier ("On the Road"); a pair of shoes belonging to Zbyszek's father which the boy spontaneously gives to a Russian fugitive; a priceless slice of bread, ground under the heel of a policeman in the guter ("Letters from the Camp"). As the director put it: "In every film, I communicate my own vision of the world and of the people. Only then the style follows, the defined way of experiencing things." In Birth Certificate, he adds, his approach was driven by the subject: "I attempted to create not only the texture of the document but also to add some poetic element. I know it is risky but as for the merger of documentation and poety, often hidden very deep, if only it manages to make its way onto the screen, it results in what can referred to as 'art'."
After 1945, there were numerous films created in Europe that dealt with war and children, including "Somewhere in Europe" ("Valahol Europaban", 1947 by Geza Radvanyi), "Shoeshine" ("Sciescia", 1946 by Vittorio de Sica), and "Childhood of Ivan" ("Iwanowo dietstwo" by Andriej Tarkowski). Yet there were fewer than one would expect. Pursuing a subject so imbued with sentimentalism requires stylistic disipline and a special ability to manage child actors. The author of "Birth Certificate" mastered both - and it was not by chance. Stanislaw Rozewicz was always the beneficent spirit of the film milieu; he could unite people around a common goal. He emanated peace and sensitivity, which flowed to his co-workers and pupils. A film, being a group work, necessitates some form of empathy - tuning in with others.
In a biographical documentary about Stanislaw Rozewicz entitled "Walking, Meeting" (1999 by Antoni Krauze), there is a beautiful scene when the director, after a few decades, meets Beata Barszczewska, who plays Mireczka in the novella "Drops of Blood". The woman falls into the arms of the elderly man. They are both moved. He wonders how many years have passed. She answers: "A few years. Not too many." And Rozewicz, with his characteristic smile says: "It is true. We spent this entire time together."
与其看这个还不如去过遍viki，兴许人那儿讲的还比你这清楚。
很好看啊！！！为何评分这么低！很真实的女通讯录爱情片！！！！
谈善言在同辈演员中已经出类拔萃许久，杨偲泳这次表现亮眼，温柔又坚定，调皮又成熟。两位女演员几场感情冲突的戏份，都很令人动容，最后互表心意的结尾看哭了。
拍的还是好看。一家子的傲慢与贪婪，最后落得这样的下场。gaga演的还不错，演出了意大利女人的彪悍。
平铺直叙的叙事，对于不了解古驰的人可以一看，就当读故事了，对于本来就了解这些的人来说，一定是枯燥无味了
后面拍得比前面好，前面实在太无聊了。反而是他被人排挤，然后被人枪杀那一段，终于有了点感觉。
看完之后偶然刷到大阪亚洲电影节的陌生预告，惊觉本片可能还拥有另一个叙事更加连贯、动机更加完整的剪辑版本。就已经看过的版本来说，阿谈很好，两个人的拉扯几乎由一个人的演技支撑大半。情节跳脱，私心无法理解三十岁的约定和婚礼上的双重许诺，只想说何以至此。一些细节还是能唤起共感，但总体的架构有不可弥补的硬伤，探讨的问题和视觉呈现的效果也都显得过分陈旧了。
电影有些矫情，有些破碎，技法也很生硬，大多情感递进都是通过水…校园之后的剧情就不太行了
不能说又臭又长但是说流水账也不过分。最大的问题在于没有节奏，一直很平，像你准备好吃大餐，结果给你上了一大桶白水让你喝俩小时，真的有点难focus。镜头每转一下就5年，这是在天宫拍的电影么？而且电影把Patrizia打造成有野心拼事业的大女主，锅给算命的背，跟真实历史出入还是有点大。包括对Paolo和Domenico的处理都不太对。Gucci经营不善卖股票主要是全球经济危机，尤其是日本泡沫经济崩盘导致日本这个当时最大的奢侈品销售市场没有了，怎么能让tom ford背锅？tom ford是legendary好吧
不喜欢就不要招惹
狗血 本以为会是女性励志 结果就是走马观花发疯一场/司机个人时装秀/看起来十分痛苦的床戏
女校部分真绝！印度日本韩国女同都能成，中国都拍到这份儿了成不了，害
3.5/5 看這卡司陣容還以為會是什麼高潮迭起的家族史詩鬥爭劇，結果老雷拍的異常平淡，不讓你感受到任何狗血的戲劇張力，就是老雷想要讓你感受到的戲劇張力，全片2小時38分拍的很工整，gucci家族的興衰史在2小時半內便交代的很透徹，老帕和雷托兩位父子檔是全片MVP，說實話我看本片的最主要原因就是為了老帕，看到他仍然生龍活虎的在耍寶真的很滿足，另外一位發光的角色絕非雷托莫屬，演家族最蠢、最沒才華的老鼠屎，在厚重的妝容下，第一次覺得雷托可以駕馭這種廢到笑的蠢蛋兒子角色，除此之外，這種家族史詩劇拍的最好的還是柯波拉，好幾次嗅到了教父的味道，卻拍不出教父的餘韻，老雷也許是拍古裝歷史題材的料，但是家族興衰史明顯不是他的長向，GaGa和司機表現都不錯，可惜電影拍的過於平淡，無法對他們的表演有太多感覺。
剧情太表层，仿佛跟看了这起真实事件的新闻文章一样，对于第一主角也就只看到一个又傻又自傲的女主，没有更多人物弧度，故事如果就只有弑夫这个重点的话，那真的太无聊了。
光鲜亮丽的流水账，Irons和Pacino还是很厉害的～
看得出雷老爷子估计已经尽力让故事精彩了，但依然还是和雷老爷子以前的电影一样四平八稳毫无起伏
2022.2.6 lady Gaga都演电影了。。居然是米高梅的作品 都好久没看到米高梅了 跟我想象的完全不一样 好几天才断断续续的看完 lady Gaga是真的不好看 除了胸大。。亚当倒是一如既往的稳 我本来还以为是他们家族的人如何经营古驰 或是有各种时尚的设计(如库伊拉那样)但没想到主要是介绍毛里齐奥古驰和他老婆以及他的父亲和叔叔还有他的儿子 5人之间的故事 没想到古驰还真是一个人的名字！女主主动的离谱 主动送攀高男主 经典边开车边口 事业心很重的女主想掌管一切 想踢除男主的叔叔和表哥 忽悠自己的表哥大义灭亲 然后又被男女主摆一道 最后叔叔坐牢 表哥的股份也全都卖给男主 后男主手下也想收购男主股份 女主花6亿雇杀手杀男主 2年后被抓 家族的互不信任导致古驰没有古驰家族的人掌管了 中规中矩
感情投入和个人经验是很真诚，但是故事内容太过流水，喜欢操场接吻、两个聊天抽烟的父亲、有点怀旧的色调。
Lady尬尬我求你要不还是回去号丧吧，别tm拍电影了。一把岁数了跟阿尔帕西诺演两口子都不嫌老跑去演黄花大闺女就算了，一屋子演技派，就你一个人换了100套衣服还是一样糟心的表演，尬死我得了。还拍了两个半小时。
大柔光我确实不太喜欢。还停留在用肉体疼痛表现内心痛苦的层面，高中生时期的感情幼稚一点我还能接受，一直到三十岁还用很梦幻手法表现未免太表面。
