萨卢斯特(louis de funes)是位粗暴无礼、贪婪爱财的却又爱听奉承的西班牙贵族老爷,他的仆人则贫穷善良。由于一次宫廷阴谋,萨卢斯特失去了恩宠特权,于是他心生报复之心。与此同时,他的仆人爱上了德裔王后,他便有机可乘……
本片是funes继《虎口脱险》之后的一部大作,其二号男主角则是法国演员伊夫蒙当,导演是法国大名鼎鼎的喜剧天才--乌里(《虎口脱险》就是他编剧的,他一手捧红了当时名不见经传的funes)。。。由于funes非常擅长刻画贪财势利的讽刺角色,使得本片具有极强的观赏性。并且区别于其他同题材喜剧,该片在一定程度上使用了超现实的创作手法,算得上是一部超现实喜剧/戏剧。如果你喜欢具有西班牙宫廷贵族文化、文艺复兴建筑、中世纪宗教裁判、各种仪式、弗拉明戈舞、骑士、荒漠……还有funes的表演风格,就一定不要错过这部非常传统纯正的法国经典喜剧。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
When, at the beginning of Deus Irae, Father Javier stares at a crucifix, his expressions and his hands suggest that the nerves are consuming him. A flashback reveals that this priest devotes his life to visiting families that claim to have seen things that do not belong to this world and cleansing their homes from the demons that try to possess them. But, upon returning to those houses, he notices that the evidence is always destroyed. This way, he discovers that a clan is after him, and must decide whether to hide from them or join them. In times when horror cinema tends to fall into the hands of directors that seek to build narratives that are introspective and close to reality, Pedro Cristiani goes back to old-school horror, where gore and the physical experience are above any other kind of feeling. A cinema that places the camera in front of the faces of the bloodiest demons and, instead of giving logic to them, chooses to face them whatever the cost.
