回复 :It has been said that most great twentieth century novels include scenes in a hotel, a symptom of the vast uprooting that has occurred in the last century: James Ivory begins Quartet with a montage of the hotels of Montparnasse, a quiet prelude before our introduction to the violently lost souls who inhabit them.Adapted from the 1928 autobiographical novel by Jean Rhys, Quartet is the story of a love quadrangle between a complicated young West Indian woman named Marya (played by Isabelle Adjani), her husband Stefan (Anthony Higgins), a manipulative English art patron named Heidler (Alan Bates), and his painter wife Lois (Maggie Smith). The film is set in the Golden Age of Paris, Hemingway's "moveable feast" of cafe culture and extravagant nightlife, glitter and literati: yet underneath is the outline of something sinister beneath the polished brasses and brasseries.When Marya's husband is put in a Paris prison on charges of selling stolen art works, she is left indigent and is taken in by Heidler and his wife: the predatory Englishman (whose character Rhys bases on the novelist Ford Madox Ford) is quick to take advantage of the new living arrangement, and Marya finds herself in a stranglehold between husband and wife. Lovers alternately gravitate toward and are repelled by each other, now professing their love, now confessing their brutal indifference -- all the while keeping up appearances. The film explores the vast territory between the "nice" and the "good," between outward refinement and inner darkness: after one violent episode, Lois asks Marya not to speak of it to the Paris crowd. "Is that all you're worried about?" demands an outraged Marya. "Yes," Lois replies with icy candor, "as a matter of fact."Adjani won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her performances in Quartet: her Marya is a volatile compound of French schoolgirl and scorned mistress, veering between tremulous joy and hysterical outburst. Smith shines in one of her most memorable roles: she imbues Lois with a Katherine-of-Aragon impotent rage, as humiliated as she is powerless in the face of her husband's choices. Her interactions with Bates are scenes from a marriage that has moved from disillusionment to pale acceptance.Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and James Ivory's screenplay uses Rhys's novel as a foundation from which it constructs a world that is both true to the novel and distinctive in its own right, painting a society that has lost its inhibitions and inadvertently lost its soul. We are taken to mirrored cafes, then move through the looking glass: Marya, in one scene, is offered a job as a model and then finds herself in a sadomasochistic pornographer's studio. The film, as photographed by Pierre Lhomme, creates thoroughly cinematic moments that Rhy's novel could not have attempted: in one of the Ivory's most memorable scenes, a black American chanteuse (extraordinarily played by Armelia McQueen) entertains Parisian patrons with a big and brassy jazz song, neither subtle nor elegant. Ivory keeps the camera on the singer's act: there is something in her unguarded smile that makes the danger beneath Montparnasse manners seem more acute.

回复 :民国初年，大珠宝商沈达先生无病暴亡，悲痛至极的沈少爷终日守候在父亲灵前。深夜，一把带着黑帖的匕首飞入沈府灵堂，帖上写着："沈少爷，断指团三日内来取人心！"第二天，沈府老管家请来函大侦探杜义甫和他的女儿石楠。第三天，在外埠上学的沈小姐赶回来奔丧。在父亲生前的朋友、商会孙会长的劝说下，沈少爷陪妹妹到墓地凭吊父亲，结果遭到匪徒的枪击。在医院，沈府上下围着"死去"的沈少爷恸哭不已，而孙会长却用充满怀疑的双眼死盯着沈少爷苍白的面孔。这一切都被化装成医护的杜义甫看在眼里，于是，他求助军界朋友王营长，以绑票形式将孙什么关押。几天之后，杜义甫从逐渐康复的沈少爷口中得到重要线索。原来，沈达先生有一颗稀世之宝--八窍珠。沈达死后，沈少爷不发现宝珠已被人偷换了，他意识到父亲的死定与宝珠有关，就把自己的怀疑告诉了孙会长，从此，灾难接二连三落在他头上。杜义甫断定这是二桩窃取国宝的大案，除断指团外，还可能牵扯到政界的一些大人物，最为可疑的是财政厅长吴锡仁。吴锡仁有至双胞胎儿子，弟弟安邦是个善良的大学生；哥哥定国却是个纨绔子弟。此时，继指团的人盯上了吴定国。杜义甫推断吴锡仁很可能就是那个暗害沈达，偷换宝珠的人。事实果然如此，吴定国携宝珠潜逃途中被断指团杀死，石楠又从断指团手中将宝珠夺了回来，令双方始料不及的是，这却是一颗假宝珠。断指团被激怒了，他们暗杀了孙会长，绑架了沈小姐，并将吴锡仁押进租界区G国商人鲁斯的住所。深夜，杜义甫潜入鲁斯卧室截走了八窍珠。然而这次行动却导致杜家被抄，沈少爷再次失去宝珠，石楠为救父亲身陷囹圄，杜义甫险些丧命。一个神秘的电话使大侦探再次抓住有利战机，从鲁斯手中夺回了八窍珠。在归家途中，杜义甫遇上了一位白发老人，原来他就是16年前被害入狱的断指团创始人崔毅，而石楠就是他的亲生女儿。案子终于了结了，可等待大侦探的却是一张通缉令。杜义甫毅然将那颗宝珠沉入深潭，告别了义女石楠，从此出家隐居。
