剧情简介
一部苏联早期无声默片，影片由米哈伊尔·卡拉托佐夫执导，后来他还拍出了《雁南飞》，赢得戛纳影展的金棕榈奖。故事讲述一次军事演习中，一名士兵因脚上那双劣质军靴耽误了传递紧急情报，结果导致装甲列车上的队伍在模拟毒气攻击中覆灭。事后，他被推上审判席，看起来像是最直接的责任人；但随着追查展开，问题却一步步指向后方生产粗糙、责任推诿和整套机制的失灵。
我曾天真地以为，没有乌鲁谢夫斯基掌镜的卡拉托佐夫，作品或许会略显平淡。可当看到他早期默片（包括本片与《斯瓦涅季的盐》）中惊艳的画面与蒙太奇时，我大为震撼。如机枪般密集凌厉的剪辑节奏令人热血沸腾，足以让盖・马汀喜极而泣。
我完全看不懂这部电影具体在讲什么，但我觉得它很可能是俄罗斯人对优质鞋履的一曲赞歌（颇有圣・哈宾斯的风格）。无论如何，没有字幕完全不影响观看 —— 因为这部影片的核心，正是极具创造力的视觉语言。它在形式上如此大胆前卫，相比之下，绝大多数当代电影都显得苍白无力。
Having naively assumed that Kalatozov without Urusevsky would be somewhat underwhelming, I was astounded to see the brilliance of the imagery and montage in his early silent works (both here and in Salt For Svanetia). The machine-gun editing is as exhilarating as anything I’ve seen, and would surely have Guy Maddin weeping tears of joy.
I’ve no idea what the film is actually about, but I believe it may well be a Russian paean to quality footwear (in the spirit of St. Hubbins). Either way, the lack of subtitles is entirely irrelevant, as this is a film where the inventiveness of the visual language is of paramount importance – indeed, it’s so formally daring that it makes the vast majority of contemporary filmmaking seem utterly anaemic by way of comparison.
