Totally unawares, Saverio, a teacher and Mario, a janitor of the same school in which they both work, travel back in time and find themselves in central Italy at the end of the 15th century. They carry with them an unresolved squabble concerning Saverio’s sister, creating a lot of tension between the two, which will increase in the plot. From this moment on they will have to come to grips with the grotesque situation they find themselves in, trying to "hitch a lift" back to the future in a most outlandish way, using and misusing their foresight of the events taking place round that time, and generally making fools of themselves in the eyes of "normal" renaissance folks. Their meeting with Leonardo da Vinci is hysterical, when they become more and more convinced that the genius is in reality a moron. Another character they meet is Savonarola the heretic, who enjoins them to repent, before he is taken to the stake, eliciting some breezy comment from them. If it weren’t for a weird kind of homesickness, they would quite enjoy living in this period, full of daring fashions and tantalising damsels.
The couple shows great chemistry and is funny in every respect. The psychology of their characters is complex and credible - for once comical roles with a depth. Basically, Saverio is an embittered petit-bourgeois forever attracted and rejected by women, envious of Mario, an easy-going proletarian every woman falls in love with. Saverio is scheming, mean and vindictive as much as Mario is naive, generous and forgiving. What a match of talents: Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi at the peak of combined creativity. Too bad they will never come back together for another joint venture. Or maybe it is better this way: masterpieces of this level cannot be improved on, at best they can be imitated. For this reason Non ci resta che piangere will shine like a gem in the crown of the best Italian movies of all times. Sadly not many people seem to have seen it, not even in Italy, where the viewers do not need subtitles to enjoy the hilarious juggling of the two actors with the language, but their body language can be universally appreciated.
If you miss it you will have to repent!

电影都是拍当下的，所以很难不开脑洞，太共情了。配乐很不错，看完得去翻原著了。
这个不是爱情片。让我想起《俊友》那个话外音有点无聊了。男主演的好。懵懂无知到初涉世事，然后是出人头地到纸醉金迷，到幻灭迷失，最后方能大彻大悟！
今年最正统的西部片。从故事到画面，从对白到配乐，无比复古，无比传统，在这个科恩兄弟和昆汀用各种现代手法让西部片不那么西部的时代，在被政治正确绑架的好莱坞剧本陷入低能死循环的时代，《老亨利》让人重新回到约翰韦恩和伊斯特伍德纵横好莱坞时那个传奇的西部岁月。全片不仅没有黑人，甚至没有女主，剧本如主角般隐忍而克制，但该出手时绝不拖泥带水。荒凉、冷寂、写实却不沉闷、传奇而不夸张，让人重新踏上《原野奇侠》与《不可饶恕》中那块充满生死无常、人性狡诈、传说往事、宿命传承的剽悍西部大陆。
幻灭了…perla的字幕机太暗了太暗了我要瞎了ಥ_ಥ
有点了不起的盖茨比味道，可能那个时代都是这样，不对，现代也是。
就像是读了一部世界名著，精美绝伦地重塑了一个古典华丽的巴黎风情录。
我有点被Coralie打动了，Lucien和她之间的某种感情也很动人，她对美和艺术的追求，某种语调，以及内森的笔，某种真诚，是藏不住的吧
最后lucien回归家乡的样子，就是10年后的我
看吧，有金钱和文字的地方，就有虚荣、谎言、嫉妒、争斗…… 两百年前与两百年后并无差别。 Lucien 身上有巴尔扎克早年巴黎经历的影子，而Nathan则是他幻想中的自己。仔细想想演员选得挺合适的，Benjamin Voisin虽然不是正统帅哥，但脸上有那种天真与狂热交织的感觉。
前半部ascension sociale和肤浅的复仇令人反感，幻灭的下坡路开始后才显出一定深度。男女主演技不行，只能用毫无意义的大尺度裸戏来凑。最后才发现叙事者是Nathan. Marquise d'Espard的演员是个妙人。Lousteau选角也不错，不羁又市侩，大难临头也不忘戏谑。由旁白、画面和巴尔扎克撑起来的电影。关于评论界如何鸡蛋里挑骨头的那段讽刺不错。
巴尔扎克之所以永远不会过时，就是因为他笔下的故事，在内核上是跨时代的。这样一个憧憬繁华都市和上流社会的年轻人，他拥有才华，又恰巧还有一些运气和决心，于是便在浮躁的巴黎展开了他自以为是的拳脚。可是人心啊，又怎么会满足于当下呢？一旦打开了野心的大门，猛兽便会分分钟将你吞噬，更何况是这类毫无家底的小镇青年。
Remember where do you come from
『Je pense à ceux qui doivent en eux trouver quelque chose après le désenchantement.』
也没爽到什么，开始大舅哥被爆了头，大家枪法集体失准。
我觉得很久没看到扎扎实实拍好名著的电影了，当然一部分也是归功于巴尔扎克的剧本
百年前的评论、炒作、诋毁等各种手段从内核与当下无异。
没有历史视角是不行的哦——尤其对于男主这样的身份来说，复仇？——在对抗还是在面试呢？或许结尾之后才能作为真正的开端吧。
