慷慨的奉獻

　　寂靜深夜，Selly（Violenzia Jeanette 飾）、Jack（Ricky Harun 飾）、Tando（Zidni Adam 飾）三名喜好刺激的青年男女駕駛機車飛馳在公路上，突然之間，Selly的機車失控，她摔倒在地，身受重傷，昏迷不醒，Jack、Tando連忙將其送往醫院。與此同時，來自日本的女孩幸子（蒼井空 飾）正準備和當地的導游外出游玩，誰知卻不小心用車門夾上導游的手，語言本就不同的二人也慌慌張張前往醫院。不久之后，兩組人馬在這間有些陰森的醫院內會合，隱隱約約中，一個留著長發卻看不清面容的女人不時逡巡在幸子等人的周圍。　　對于這幾個有些倒霉的青年來說，恐怖而又爆笑的夜晚正慢慢拉開序幕……

《方法演技》是一部刻意追求搞笑的電影，其不動聲色的手法使其更加有趣和令人心酸。具有諷刺意味的是，這部非凡的喜劇電影中的明星是演員李東輝（由他自己扮演），他討厭喜劇表演。盡管他努力重塑自己，但機會似乎難以捉摸，他發現自己越來越沮喪。出乎意料的是，他收到了一個令人驚訝的邀請，在一部傳統古裝劇中扮演一位國王。為了完善他對這位威嚴的皇室人物的刻畫，東熙潛心于方法表演。然而，在這部歷史劇中，事情很快變得不同尋常。方法演技巧妙地平衡了混亂的拍攝環境和家庭敘事，在處理創造性元素的同時，以無縫的精確度描繪了人物的掙扎，從而產生了一部出色的喜劇。最重要的是，演員們的表演達到了恍惚的程度，確實非常出色。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
