　　关于导演
　　大卫·格林（David Gordon Green）1975年出生在阿肯萨斯州，曾经在North Carolina学校学习电影制作，并且导演了几部电影短片和纪录片。2000年，他的第一部故事片《乔治·华盛顿》获得了Discovery大奖，他的第二部电影——2003年的《All the Real Girls》，由于对情感的真实表现，荣获了当年Sundance电影节评审团特别奖。
　　《退潮》是他的第三部电影，从他的第一部电影以来，格林一直在努力寻找新的电影语言来塑造和表现人物及其经历，在这部电影中 格林与天才摄影师迪母（Tim orr）的合作，确立了影片真实的情感与客观、冷静的镜头语言的独特结合。格林讲述了一个几乎被遗忘的美国，一群为活着而挣扎的人们的故事，他在最平凡的环境出找到了真正的英雄，挖掘到了每一个普通角色的深度和情感。
　　相对与格林以前的作品，《退潮》在结构上显得要传统一些，剧中出现了完全反面的角色，并且由一条阴暗恐怖的线索贯穿始终；但同时也延续了格林许多大胆创新的实验手法：定格的使用、情节的前后呼应等等，加上极为真实的布景以及音响的配合……《退潮》是今 年最值得期待的影片之一。
　　影片的主题是成长
　　像《乔治·华盛顿》一样，《退潮》也是以孩子为影片的核心，格林是最善于青少年合作的导演之一，也许因为他自己也非常年轻，他非常理解青少年成长中的迷乱和强烈的情感渴求，并将起非常到位的表现在电影之中。
　　在这部电影中，饰演克莱斯的小演员杰米（Jamie Bell）在格林的引导下，精彩的表现出了一个男孩成长中的转变，他由最初那个爱闯祸的农村男孩发展成后来经历了家庭的变动（卑鄙的叔父的到来给家庭带来了灾难），主动承担起照顾弟弟的责任的成熟少年，准确地抓住了人物的内心关键，完美的表现出了一个男孩 从少年到成年的心理转变过程。
　　对天才导演的争议
　　格林一贯被称为天才导演，这一说法引起了很大争议，反对者提出格林只能算是有点小才，主要是他非常年轻，因此被捧得过高，实际上他的电影结构存在很大问题。而支持者则认为格林的影片非常真实，作为一个年轻导演，他的影片能够表现出如此深刻的内涵不得不 承认他是个天才。
　　幕后
　　这部电影的拍摄中有很多人受伤，饰演成年穆恩兄弟的Josh Lucas和Dermot Mulroney在彼此的打斗场景中都跌断了肋骨，而饰演克莱斯的Jamie Bell则一脚踩在了钉子上，不得不拄了几天的拐杖。

　　在众人眼里，年轻力壮处事低调的维克多（柯林·法瑞尔 Colin Farrell 饰）在黑道的前途无量，可对于维克多本人来说，他如此努力，如此隐忍，只为了一个目的，那就是接近黑帮老大埃尔夫斯（泰伦斯·霍华德 Terrence Dashon Howard 饰），手刃仇人，报仇雪恨。
　　除了维克多外，还有一个女人对埃尔夫斯恨之入骨，她的名字叫碧翠丝（劳米·拉佩斯 Noomi Rapace 饰），很早之前，敏感的维克多就注意到了这个漂亮的蛇蝎美人，一番思量之后，他决定同碧翠丝联手，共同完成他们的复仇。就这样，维克多和碧翠丝成为了盟友，可是即便如此，强大的黑暗势力对于他们来说依然是几乎不可战胜的对手，要想取得最终的胜利，除了仇恨外，他们还需要另外一种情感。

　　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.

　　When the clever but socially-awkward Tetê joins a new school, she'll do anything to fit in. But the queen bee among her classmates has other ideas.

　　When the single middle-aged Luis travels from Barcelona to bury the remains of his mother in the vault of his family in Segovia, he is lodged by his aunt Pilar in her old house where he spent his summer of 1936 with her.
