影片主(zhǔ )角(jiǎo )(🆓)是一(yī )个78岁的英(🐌)国著名(🌰)作家，他(🕟)身患重病却仍然酗酒(🔧)成性，口(🥈)不择(zé )言(🌰)。夜晚不(🗼)时陷于噩梦(mèng )的缠绕中，令他想入非非(fēi )，一边琢磨着他(🔸)最后一(yī )部作品的情(🕯)节构思，一(🔲)边回(huí )忆(yì )着他的往(🕌)事。于是，噩梦、他(tā )的想象加上往(wǎng )(🐶)事(shì )(🥀)的回忆相互(hù )(🤷)混淆(💞)在一起，共同构成(chéng )了他作(zuò )品(🛑)的故事(shì )框架(❔)。 影片将文学(xué )(🥔)创作的过程跟幻(huàn )想、愤怒等(děng )融(róng )(🙄)为(wéi )(㊙)一体，制(zhì )(💪)造了一个(🈴)精致的弗洛(👃)伊德哑(yǎ )谜。这是雷奈的第一部用(🥕)英语(yǔ )拍摄的影(yǐng )片。剧本比(bǐ )较(🤘)拗口(❕)罗嗦(💹)，有较(jiào )重的(de )文学味(🚗)，影片被(🈸)认为是雷奈的杰作，博加德(dé )的演出(chū )尤为(wéi )精湛，但一般(bān )观(guān )众(zhòng )可能(🤔)会觉(🔍)得单调乏(fá )味。 (📸)Clive Langham (Sir John Gielgud) spends one tormenting night in his bed suffering from health problems and thinking up a story based on his relatives.
