UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
从电影形式上没有太特别的地方，但内容本身让人很触动。女主美得很特别，演得也好（siff uptown）。
历史的也是当下的，古老幽魂的返身亦是女性永恒的诅咒，正发生的高压语境不但跟随倒数计时胎死腹中的梦想，更是对保守主义死而复生抬头的愤怒瞪视。单一视角和手持拍摄的极简处理浸没困境感知和痛感传导的进行时态共鸣，战栗不绝的心理惊悚来自紧凑画幅锁住并放大绝望惶恐的神色——在闻性色变，进取有罪，欲望自由的空隙要靠怀孕免罪金牌偷来的年代，被男权意志孤立而无援的女人，被迫观看却无法施以援手的目光，周遭众人的漠视和加害模糊面孔，组成孤身对抗世界的系统。鼓点渐强提醒知情不救沦为共犯的事实，隐去血腥的堕胎仍能触犯观众就形同挑战。多少叙事隐没的伤痕，多少乘势复苏的征兆，自我献祭意味的生死一搏或可于银幕换来前程似锦的窒息松绑，但那些死于极度痛苦的无名女孩始终在场，集体受难罪孽无以偿还。政治文学分野的隐喻开头就已埋下。
六十年前法国发生的事情，现在正在发生。电影讲的是上世纪中叶的法国，堕胎违法，意外怀孕的学生，想尽一切办法堕胎，在这个过程中身心都遭受了摧残。有几场戏确实比较生猛，特别是她打算自己照着镜子用铁丝手术那一段，观众需要一定的心理承受能力。我想电影的作用正是如此，提醒观众几十年前在法国还发生着这样的事情。这样的事情对女性是相当大的侵害，以后不能再发生。这是警示。假如未来我们有一天记不得现在发生的事了，那么还有电影可以记录。
比较能代入的电影，完全的女性视角，那个年代的法国少女所受的约束和不平等甚是让人出乎意料。波伏娃说，“一个人并非生下来就是女人，而是逐渐长成了女人”。甚是同意。
科幻喜剧，这题材非常出色！！几个硬科幻剧情非常棒，绝处逢生好几次，最大遗憾是英雄最后没能归来，编剧功力还是欠缺一点点
在写The Day时注意到的一部电影。贴着人物拍摄的风格很像我下一部短片想要达到的视觉效果。剧本在不该留白的地方留白了，让我看得有些不舒服（也许是因为删减问题剪掉了）but overall it is the kind of film that I want to make. 出了完整版会再看一次
苦于疫情已久 这么多人坐在影院里为一部电影开怀大笑的场景 在这样的日子里显得弥足珍贵 这份快乐和现实意义的感动是麻花给的 也是我最爱的沈腾给的 想哭
关于宇宙，我知道一些；关于浪漫也是。我们永远无法理解整个星空正如我们也永远无法诠释浪漫。他们的命题都太难以阐述了，宇宙在于太大又神秘，我们将永远探索，理解且敬畏，究其一生；浪漫在于太小又私隐，可能就藏在饭后散步时我口袋里的一支玫瑰里，无处不在，又需要四目相对。那些故事藏在土星的星环里，你的睫毛间，马里亚纳海沟深处，你的指缝间。喜欢这部电影是因为，把宇宙和浪漫硬扯在一起，一颗星；你在身边一起看，四颗星，满分五颗星。
很真实，和女主角一起感受到疼痛和旁观者的冷漠。
第78届威尼斯电影节金狮奖获奖电影，法国《电影手册》杂志年度十佳作品。对焦女性堕胎题材，在冷冽峻切的镜头之下截取人类现实生活中正在时刻发生的真实事件。
一切都恰到好处（juste）。刚看完电影，下午就采访到了导演和女主演，值了！
麻花的超级英雄炼成记。
女人也想要享受性的快乐，欲望比羞愧更强烈！但是风险全部由女人承担，甚至死亡。时刻担心会不会怀孕，一条还是两条，男人只管爽了就好。
前段时间偶然看了四五分的月球陨落，相比之下，沈腾就太优秀了！
冰冷的器具进入Anne身体的瞬间，尖锐的痛感，如抽筋般的纠缠，都蔓延到身体的器官里。再有其他的感觉都很难再描述这部电影的观后感。
没有想到回忆录改编尽然可以拍的像青春thriller
对比 从不，很少，有时，总是，四月三周两天
从女主视角进行的直线叙事，没有枝蔓，男人们站得远远的轻巧推脱，私下交易的非法堕胎手术，直面淋漓的鲜血拍得不留情面。女性导演并不是刻板印象的细腻温柔感性或煽情，女性导演的取材和观察世界的角度，才是她们与男导演的区别。把1960年代的生死无助冷静呈现，才能让今日的人们明白，女性对自己身体的主权，是如何一寸一寸争取回来的。
由女性来书写女性困境不新鲜，而以当下议题去对照一个年代故事就显著地拉阔了该讨论适用的时空。说人话就是不妨将本片视作一个有着当代女性意识和永恒女性困境的女主“穿越”到更严酷时空的故事，“穿越”即是“正发生”，金狮值得。
