我來柏斯這麼久,從來也沒有什麼娛樂,前連子和朋友去看了兩部戶外電影,一方面本身就很愛看電影,另一方面柏斯藝術節的藝術電影多是歐洲電影,有字幕看比較容易理解;電影節就設在兩所柏斯的大學UWA和ECU,剛好也可以在校園逛逛,通常電影是在八點上映,那時天色通常還很亮,在八點之前當地人都有在附近的草皮野餐,而我在UWA發理小攤賣台灣口味的新竹米粉頓時感動不已,躺在澳洲星空下,看著歐洲的電影,吃著台灣小吃,對我而言,是這些日子以來最高級的享受了。

Ayana 在日本是幼稚園老師,跟男朋友分手後來到澳洲,現在在澳洲人家幫忙帶小孩換食宿,開著屋主給他帶步的破車我才有機會順道過來,真的覺得有車真好。
雖然我們英文都不太好,但跟她聊著未來計畫和感情問題,語言不通卻很清楚彼此的想法,而我何時心情可以放開和她一樣享受這裡的生活。

看完電影,只剩我一個人坐半夜的火車,沒有人在我身旁聽著我大肆發表觀後評論,真不能算是看電影。
CROSSED TRACKS
Director: Claude Lelouch · 103min · M
In French with subtitles
What is real and what is fiction? Claude Lelouch's multi-layered movie is a glossy melange of suspense and romance – a thriller populated by offbeat characters including a runaway husband, a serial killer nicknamed The Magician, a ghost writer and a hairdresser.
Set around the French Riviera, this psychological study centres on Judith Ralitzer (Fanny Ardent), a famous crime writer whose works, it is rumoured, may have been ghost-written by a serial killer. Lelouch has fashioned a tale of intrigue and deceit that moves along like a 60s Hitchcockian whodunnit. Nothing is quite as it seems and fate has a way of making friends and lovers out of the least likely people.
簡介翻譯如下 (假會練英文):
什麼是現實而什麼是故事,Claude Lelouch 的這部多層次電影是一部夾雜懸疑與愛情的浮誇合集–一部由非傳統角色形成的恐怖電影,包括了落跑新郎、綽號魔術師的連續殺人魔、代筆作家和理髮師。場景設定在法國里耶維拉河岸,此部心理研究以Judith Ralitzer 所扮演的Fanny Ardent 為中心,一位知名的犯罪小說家,她的作品被謠傳為一位連續殺人魔所代筆,導演用簡單的方法塑造出一篇充滿陷害陰謀、詐欺虛偽像六零年希區考克電影般進行的故事
