Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.

除了几处大胆直白的裸露，脱了穿，穿了脱以外，剧情略显无聊，毫无特别看点。只有表演很卖力，可能是太过真实反而失掉了戏剧性，跟《四月三周两天》的差距显而易见。6.6
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。
除了《流量地球》的宏大叙事，中国人对近未来的畅想里也需要诙谐。故事一如既往地精巧，完整。喜剧，开心麻花已经玩明白了。
*jean才高中／大学就头秃成这样?说他40岁我都信
而且就觉得火星救援它不香了。
比较讨喜的改编作品，把整个调度框在单一人物私密空间的做法感觉是个笨办法，并不需要用一种特别绝缘的形式来表现孤立和无助
ps:选角真的梦幻联动，看着这位波伏瓦出场就很安心
“我不打算留。”“我想办法。”“我得了一种只攻击女人的病，把女人变成家庭主妇的病。”这是一个压抑、窒息、令人不安的故事，但女主的坚定眼神让人无法别过脸去。
补标#SGIFF。只有一幕直面的血淋淋但是痛感直冲每一根神经。
诚然在《四月三周两天》那样的文本与影像之后再难以有所突破，所以这电影才会取巧地去强调‘正发生’。手持摄影的临场感确实是符合的形式，不过文本上的内容还是苍白了些。很多戏份完全是乏善可陈。
PS:有几个场景是真的膈应人，怪不得据说威尼斯的时候有影评人直接看晕过去了
“我不打算留。”“我想办法。”“我得了一种只攻击女人的病，把女人变成家庭主妇的病。”这是一个压抑、窒息、令人不安的故事，但女主的坚定眼神让人无法别过脸去。
改编自Annie Ernaux同名自传作品，致只有女人会生的病。
正发生的其实是过去的往事，是根据传记体小说改编，发生于上世纪六十年代初的故事。故事发生时间更早，影片却像是罗马尼亚电影《四月三周两天》的法国版本，但故事叙述、场景把控及气氛营造上，导演显然太嫩了，比蒙吉差得太远。导演只能靠暴露及血腥镜头来博出位，很多的裸体镜头其实毫无必要。从影片所叙述来看，女主的遭遇很大部分与其性格相关，她对待生活与处理问题的方式，即使不是因堕胎也会因他事而陷入重重麻烦之中。
88年到21年，这片名简直惊悚
432将氤氲在空气中的窒息感、对时政语境的拿捏推到顶峰后，同题材玩再多摄影的花样，也难免落入“弱叙事，重刺激”的圈套。这部的窄画幅特写和浅焦跟拍，很多时候让人想到《索尔之子》，包括主人公不合时宜的执拗：驱使Anne堕胎的除了禁令，更多还有对文学（救赎）的渴望。这在任何性别思维僵化的年份，都是何其孤倔又悲剧性的坚持，做深蹲流产时用来负重的书本，也就顺势成了压垮精神防线的稻草，与结尾相映衬。在零星的亮点褪去后，余下的只能说是过于单薄，且难搅动起更绵久的后劲。
当身体成为一种命运，内心重压和生理剧痛就注定成为命运的某种考验和必然代价，而在这个过程中，近乎孤绝的状态和必要寻求的援助，又将这一切以及其背后的那副身体变成了一种政治。表达的决心和野心控制得当，摄影机紧跟面庞塑造出个体感鲜明的情绪性，而突然暴露又层层递进的痛感重击，又让强烈的生理感联结你我、社会和时代，不见刻意的怜悯或警示，只有坚定的展示和冲击。女主的演出禁得起摄影机的凝视，配乐和剪辑都很出色，整体完成度之高是年度五佳级别的。
唯盼诸君共勉——
拍得感觉挺好的，对人物情绪的变化拿捏得很到位。社会对一个想要堕胎的女性的冷漠也处理得非常冷静和现实。但不知道为什么，我其实不是很同情这个女孩。我原以为她是被强奸致孕的，结果是因为无避孕措施的酒吧做爱。嗯......这个问题的性质就很复杂了。为什么堕胎会引起这么大的争议，是因为对于“新生命”的定义不明确。受精卵是新生命吗？胎儿发育到哪个阶段是新生命？新生命是否具有和正常人一样同等的权利？当然了，无论如何定义，女性的确是遭受苦难最多的一方。这个片子把这个感觉拍出来了，我觉得就还行。但你说有怎样的深度，还需要再考虑。
