折翼

★【折翼】剧情介绍

这是一部描写痛失父亲的家庭如何渡过困境的电影。一个失去父亲的家庭，母亲独立抚养四个孩子，但是母子、母女之间却不断出现矛盾，往日的欢乐远离了每个人，每个人都受到了不同程度的伤害。

这是一部以色列电影。但这是一部没有国界的电影。没有古老厚重的历史文化，没有苦大仇深的民族情结，她只是用朴素而细腻的手法描绘了渗透在全世界每个角落里最普遍的一种感情。一个突然失去了一家之主的家庭，一个中年母亲和她的四个孩子。我这样说也许会产生误导。不错，这个题材丝毫都不新颖乃至陈腐，她很容易拍成催泪弹。这样的电影很多。比如黑暗中的舞者。这类电影简直是为了表现伟大的母爱而几乎到了不择手段的地步，将全世界的不幸都加在主角身上。当然她也有不幸和灾难－－父亲很意外地死去，将这个普通家庭一下逼入绝境，生活仿佛影片里那辆发动不起来的老爷车一样破败不堪；12岁的小儿子摔伤了脑袋昏迷不醒更是火上浇油－－痛苦和磨难是让剧中人物成长和让观众感同身受的必须。但这只是每天都会发生在世界上任何一个地方的小故事。如果说悲剧是把美好的东西摧毁给人看的话，那这点痛苦还远不足以将一个家庭打击到无法翻身。实际上她根本不是一个悲剧，整部电影充满了非常生活化的幽默和脉脉温情，让人会心微笑和捧腹大笑的片段随处可见。影片里个人觉得最经典的一段幽默插曲是四个孩子中最小的妹妹的尿床事件。

The unexpected death of the family patriarch throws every member of the Ullmann clan off course. Widow Dafna takes to bed for three months and when she finally returns to her job at the maternity hospital, she has little time for her children. Eldest son, Yair drops out of school and adopts a fatalist attitude, shutting out his siblings and girlfriend. His twin sister Maya, a talented musician, feels the most guilt and is forced to act as a family caregiver at the expense of career opportunities. Bullied at school, younger son Ido responds by obsessively filming himself with a video camera and attempting dangerous feats. The baby sister, Bar, is woefully neglected. Preoccupied with their own misery, the family is barely a family anymore. When another tragedy strikes, will they be able to support one another? Written by Sujit R. Varma
