与Stefan Uher和Elo Havatta一样,Eduard Grecner也是60年代斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的缔造者之一。他的三部影片《一周七天》(1964)《尼绒月亮》(1965)和这部《徳拉克的回归》都是斯洛伐克新浪潮电影的代表作。这部叙事方法独特带有明显意识流风格的黑白影片甚至间接影响到了后来法国导演格里耶在捷克拍摄的两部影片《说谎的人》和《Eden and After》。 A special place in the development of feature films is reserved for Eduard Grecner, the creator of just one good film, Dragon Returns (Drak sa vracia, 1967), titled after the nickname of the lead character. After his initial work with Uher, Grecner made his mark as a proponent of the so-called intellectual film, the antithesis of the sociologically, or rather, socially critical film. Grecner's great role model was Alan Resnais, a young French filmmaker who sought to introduce Slovakia to the idea of film as a labyrinth in which meanings are created not by stories, but by complex configurations of dialogue, shots, and various layers of time, thus differentiating film from both literature and theater. In Dragon Returns―the story of a solitary hero who is needed by villagers living far in the mountains, but who is rejected by them at the same time because of his detachment―Grecner brought the tradition of lyricized prose to life through a whole series of formal aesthetic techniques. Alain Robbe-Grillet immediately developed this idea in the film shot in Bratislava The Man Who Lies (Slovak Muz, ktory luze; French title L'homme qui ment; 1968), and perfected it in Eden and After (Eden a potom, 1970).
一家由黑帮操控的地下扑克赌场,突遇三名悍匪抢劫。赌场老大如临大敌,势要找出幕后黑手。他们找来得力干将杰基·科恩(布拉德·皮特饰)介入调查,让他来找出肇事者重整地下秩序。作为一名老练的赏金猎人,杰基性情孤冷而深藏不露。本来这场由三个毛头小混混设计的抢钱计划,笨拙到一望而知,可赌场管理人马基(雷·利奥塔 Ray Liotta饰)无端被人殴打,老酒鬼米奇(詹姆斯·甘多菲尼 James Gandolfini 饰)无故被杀等事件的意外穿插,又使局面陷入一片混乱。杰基抽丝剥茧,开始了他的深入调查。然而,这正是这场腥风血雨的开始,一场帮派间的温柔杀戮一触即发。 本片改编自乔治·V·哈金斯于1974年创作的小说《柯根的交易》。这部影片是布拉德·皮特和导演安德鲁·多米尼克在《神枪手之死》后再度合作的第一部长片,本片入围2012年第65届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元-金棕榈奖。
