This is the story of an A-movie husband and wife team, with an extremely literary title "TORROEMOLINOS 73", the Chinese translation seems to be more able to summarize the whole film - "Happy Porn Movie". The beginning of the film is a bit Kafka-esque absurd. The protagonist, Alfred, is an encyclopedia salesman. As a result, Alfred is about to lose his fifteen-year job. Then one day, I was suddenly called by the manager to a secret meeting in the suburbs, asking them to assist the Danish Academy of Sexology in conducting scientific research, making sex films only for sale in Denmark. When he woke up, Alfred was not turned into a speechless beetle but was stuffed into a guide tube and became the director. A guy who claimed to be Bergman's assistant kept saying Bergman's famous words in his ear. Since that day, Alfred's life has changed dramatically. Bergman said, "Movies are the epitome of reality in the eyes of the child." The Alfreds have always wanted a child, but they have the money to pay the rent, let alone feed another person, and the epitome of reality is that they are forced to In their livelihood, they are going to make an A-movie, 50,000 yuan per episode. The camera has always been the voyeuristic eye. In the camera, his wife Carmen has an unpredictable sexiness, and Alfred can't help but fly forward. From the failure of the first film to the mature use of the camera step by step, Alfred finally realized the true meaning of Bergman. The bride in the wedding dress, the female laundry clerk and the gas porter have an affair, the football baby, the romantic nurse, the beauty pageant... All the classic scenes of pornography appear in the couple's film, the couple wrote, directed and acted by themselves. The heavy and gloomy life has become infinitely better because of the arrival of the movie: color TV, washing machine, mink coat, all these material symbols have been brought home. Their film was a hit in Scandinivia, Carmen became a star in adult magazines, was recognized in a mall by foreign tourists asking for autographs, and a frightened couple decided to stop doing "scientific research." However, at this time, Alfred saw Bergman's business card "The Seventh Seal" and was deeply moved. He wrote a script called "Torremolin 73". What's even more incredible is that the company The boss actually liked this book and decided to shoot such a "literary film" with a strong Bergman style. Alfred really became a director, with his own sound engineer, cameraman, crew and actors. Under the lens, the beautiful black-and-white image shows Alfred's "born out of the sky" imagination, his deep love for Bergman, and his fiery passion for his wife Carmen. Just when the film was about to be "finished", the boss decided to add a pornographic scene out of commercial operation, which was completed by Carmen and the actor. Alfred leaves in anger, and Carmen, because of his love for Alfred, decides to help him finish the film anyway. The day of the last filming finally came. Alfred saw his naked wife at the scene. He shouted "start" with the grief in his heart. Like masturbating to the face of a pin-up girl, this is a symbol of never betrayal of love - no matter what happens, the meaning of happiness is to never give up. The end of the film is the peaceful life of the Alfred family of three years later, Alfred became a wedding photographer, and that "Torremolin 73" became the only work in his life.
The whole film is carried out in Spanish-style humor, the rhythm is enthusiastic, and the plot is carefully structured with the embarrassment of the little people, which makes people laugh several times, and it is a comedy masterpiece. Especially for Bergman's parody, from "The Seventh Seal" to "Wild Strawberry", Bergman's classic images appear frequently, and the "assistant" can be heard from time to time interpreting pornographic films with Bergman's quotations , This kind of cold humor makes people smile more after they notice it. Although most people criticized the rush at the end, the subtitles quickly rose to end the whole film, and there was no more talk about the life of the couple, but the author believes that it is this haste that shows the coldness of life even more - a lifetime It's like a lively video tape, the parts with images are climaxing one after another, right and wrong, but most of the time, life is like the rapidly rising subtitles, explaining the ending, plainly enduring, no more accidents.
