一面是万丈深渊,一面是悬崖绝壁,当她恢复知觉,发现自己身陷险境,生与死就在咫尺之间。是坐以待毙,还是绝地求生?她用残破的肢体摸索活下去的可能,但正在这样的绝境之中,岂料天公不作美,一场暴雨即将来临…… 本片由澳大利亚导演Tim Egan拍摄,从最初的概念到拍摄脚本,只花了8个小时的时间,短片剧本受到导演生命中两个关键时刻的启发——一次严重的车祸,以及和一个沮丧的朋友的交谈。“我依旧记得我的手指扣在湿漉漉的路面上的那种感觉。”当时他被撞倒在繁忙的交通中心的车道上,无助的躺在沥青柏油之间,随时可能被第二辆车碾过。 不可否认导演的亲身经历让他对死亡的恐惧,以及求生的本能都有了更真切的认识。本片的细节刻画相当出色,角色的每一个动作都生死攸关,而在共同承担这令人窒息的紧张氛围的同时,内心的强大在外部恶劣的条件下却又那样不堪一击。 Tim Egan凭借这部黑暗风格的极简主义短片,一举拿下2016纽约翠贝卡电影节(Tribeca Film Festival)官方选择奖、西班牙锡切斯奇幻电影节(Sitges Film Festival)最佳短片奖、美国奇幻电影节(Fantastic Fest)、法国PIFFF电影节金瞳奖、俄罗斯TIFF电影节最佳短片奖等众多奖项。

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.
