　　Two women spend a weekend together at the North Sea. Walks on the beach, fish buns at a snack stand, mobile weather forecasts. Sky, horizon, water. One of them will soon return to her family in Argentina while the other one will try to come a step closer to the ocean. She travels to the Caribbean and the foreign makes her vulnerable. Then, the land is out of sight. On a sailing vessel she crosses the Atlantic Ocean. One wave follows the other, they never resemble. Thoughts go astray, time leaves the beaten track and the swell lulls to deep sleep. The sea takes over the narration. And when the other one reappears in it, the wind is still in her hair while the ground beneath her feet is solid. She returns and the one of them could ask: "Have you changed?

　　在Jodorowsky的所有我们能看到的电影里——除过之后的《獠牙》跟《彩虹贼》，这部他早期长篇电影《凡多和莉丝》相比起他大名鼎鼎的《鼹鼠》，《圣山》和《圣血》显得十分不起眼。
　　
　　不过这部影片维持了Jodorowsky影片一贯的光怪陆离，开始的镜头就是侧躺在桌子上的莉丝生吃掉一朵花，整个故事是一对情侣凡多和他腿有残疾的女朋友莉丝一起去寻找传说中神秘的“Tar之城“一路上的经历，途中不断的有不同的怪人诱惑凡多离开双腿不能动的莉丝，甚至还有凡多的母亲，而他们却好象一直都无法离开原来的地方——酷似煤矿的小山，途中还时常出现他们的幻象（时间太久，记不清楚具体的，大家自己看），在找到了Tar之后，凡多却终于忍受不了莉丝，将她暴打致死，后来他十分懊悔，按照莉丝生前的愿望将她埋葬，在坟头上放上了一朵花，并自己躺在她坟墓旁，直到落下的树叶几乎将他埋没，至此，影片在异常欢快的音乐中结束。
　　
　　不过也许是由于对宗教的生僻和文化背景的不同，据说这部影片在墨西哥阿卡普尔科电影节首映的时候观众被吓的四散而走，是因为受不了影片中残忍的镜头，不过看了这部影片我居然莫名其妙的感伤起来，我都不知道我该去想些什么，而Jodorowsky也由此开始他被放逐到海外拍片的生涯，不过之后才有了更经典的《鼹鼠》，《圣山》和《圣血》，也更富有反宗教的意味，相比起《凡多和莉丝》更加被观众认同。
　　
　　可能此片仅仅是他古怪念头的最初尝试，虽然情节很古怪，可倒也不至于不知所云，凡多和莉丝他俩寻找的这座“Tar之城”是个异常奇妙的地方，所有的城池在大灾难降临后都被毁了，只有Tar还矗立着，所以人们传说只要到了Tar，就可以获得食物跟美酒，甚至可以获得永恒；到了Tar，才可以真正理解生命，可以爱也可以被爱，会着迷于未来，而且，Tar永远不会遗弃任何一个人…如此完美的地方，可以看成是个严重理想化的境地，接近理想国的过程自然有荆棘和劫难，更要经受意志的考验，而只有知道如何达成理想的人才能最终实现理想，一开始，凡多和莉丝相信只要找到Tar莉丝一定可以重新走路，而他们所有的问题也都会解决，所以说凡多和莉丝可以说是失败了，尽管他们找到了他们的目标，但最终还是被湮灭在了对过分理想化的Tar的畅想中，这也是我觉得这个故事还存在了一丝凄美味道的原因，凡多和莉丝的爱情悲剧可能正因为他俩的迷茫，虽然有生活的方向，却并不知道如何去达成自己的理想，最后演变为绝望，末路，自我以及互相伤害，这多多少少也印证了那个年代青年的心态——尽管Jodorowsky可能并没想这么说。
　　
　　精彩的配乐也是Jodorowsky所有影片的共同特点，可惜只找到《鼹鼠》的原声，包括本片在内的其他几部的原声只好继续寻觅了，我尤其是特别喜欢莉丝唱的那首“当我死后，将我埋在….”，曲调很是优美，声音也很有质感，尽管有那么点感伤，好象预知了这可怜女人的结局一样。
　　
　　还有就是，片头的那些画，我不知道它们是否也是宗教画，也不知道是否因为没有看明白那些画造成我对本片理解的偏差，所以希望懂的朋友给我解答吧，对于这样的影片我只能介绍，而尽可能的少去评论了。

　　In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
　　As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
　　Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
　　The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
　　Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
　　The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
　　The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.
