介子鬼城

　　Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned.　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.

　　史蒂芬（瑞恩·菲利普）与莎伦（蕾切尔·李费佛）来到波多黎各，打算接走通过中介收养的海地小女孩妮娜。他们在旅馆结识了穿着防风衣，头发乱糟糟的本杰明（库萨克）。六万元的费用付出手，妮娜却突然失踪，领养中介的工作人员不翼而飞，网站也无法打开……　　当地警察告诉他们，两人是中了钓鱼诈骗的圈套，以收养孩子为诱饵，拿到收养费后就把孩子带走，再去寻找下一个受害人。然而夫妇俩的厄运还没完，本杰明似乎是看准了两人是条大鱼，把他们监禁起来，要榨光他们所有的积蓄。

 这是一位始终以两性关系、婚姻道德为主题的电影作者，这部获得奥斯卡最佳外语片的《掏出你的手帕》也不在例外。关于影片，布里耶是这样解释的：“表面上看这是一部怪诞的电影，但实际上这是一部彻底颠倒道德标准的片子，不过表现得比较委婉且具有魅力。如果仔细观察就可以看出，所有的道德价值都被颠倒了，所有的道德传统都被抛到了一边。人物的思想状态正处于一种极端混乱的时期，今天你也许还不会把妻子当作礼物送给别人，但也许将来你就可以做到了。”

　　死于东京皇家饭店电梯里的美国黑人青年被人发现后，警方展开调查，从死者遗物中，知晓其名叫焦尼，并推断其来日目的是为找寻生母。根据种种线索，警方来到某温泉，发现知情人已被杀害，但还是知晓了知名服装设计师八杉恭子（冈田茉莉子）当年曾与一美国黑人士兵在此同居之事，遂派警官栋居（松田优作）前去美国向纽约警察肖夫坦（乔治•肯尼迪）求证。　　求证过程中，栋居陷入历史记忆与民族情结中，几欲将眼前的美国人尤其肖夫坦与当年在日本犯下罪行的刽子手混为一谈，但终回复理智完成了任务，将八杉恭子圈定为凶手，而八杉恭子不过也是历史的受害者。
