本片取材于真人真事。故事讲述被判死刑的男主人公弗朗西斯(弗朗索瓦·莱特瑞尔 François Leterrier饰)在临刑前的几个小时内，卡通如何成功越狱地扣人心弦的故事。为逃脱纳粹监狱，卡通弗朗西斯策划了一场天衣无缝的逃亡计划。为确保计划万无一失，他不仅做足越狱准备，还在仅有的洗漱空挡，多次跟隔壁囚室的狱友联络，试图找到共同实施计划的同盟。可还没来得及他准备好一切时，就被判立刻执行死刑。最终他毅然带着年轻的囚犯男孩一起踏上了逃亡之路。极简的叙事结构，单一密闭的监狱空间，分秒必争的紧迫时间，罗伯特·布列松因本片荣获第10届戛纳电影节(1957)最佳导演奖。

回复 :The protagonist of the film is a young boy named Kuba who, due to his seriously ill sister, decides to get a quick cash by taking part in illegal car races. On his way he meets not only many difficulties but a girl Ewa, with whom he will be joined not only by love for racing.
回复 :What could the fate of the Villa Empain, Baron Empain’s crazy project in Brussels, which has gone through a long and eventful journey since its completion in 1934, possibly inspire? Katharina Kastner’s challenge was to draw the portrait of the place, keeping in mind the work of time, like in a human existence. Shot in 16mm, her film appeals to the senses, it captures the stirring of leaves undulating in the garden light, the movement of iridescent pearls, or the colourful games of a piece by Daniel Buren. Without a word, but with a caressing camera, she pays close attention to the hidden patterns on the gorgeous marbles, or to the veins in the most precious types of wood used to decorate the rooms. In slight touches, regardless of the monumental aspect of the 27.000 square-feet villa and the pool that so impressed its first visitors, Katharina Kastner o ers an organic vision of the place, which has been marked by the trials and tribulations of life, and used successively as a museum, an embassy and a squat, until its final renovation. The clever editing makes furtive connections, underlines colour associations, mixes up times and tactile sensations, while the spaces we explore keep rustling. The film takes us on a reminiscing journey, with slices of Empain’s life, from the family archive here on a holiday, there playing on the beach, images from a distant past that keep haunting the premises. The film reveals to us this living space that was designed like a piece of art, but it does so in a wandering way. This dream vision guides us through the villa like an echo of foregone fantasies, a mental space, but also a welcoming backdrop for the work of time. A bit like the fingerprint work we see in the film, or the slight touch of a pencil on a blank sheet.
