回复 :This film, very much of its time shows London in the early 1970's. Of course now a different world. Note the old fashion Underground ticket machines, and the Black and White Telly in the flat. The location looks very much like Churchill Gardens, Pimlico, with Battersea Power Station in the background. And, plenty of smoking going on, in pubs, and on the tube. The film is strangely sexy in its own way, with the young girl playing along with the much older man, its really a sexual fantasy come true. It is another one of those British low budget film where the low budget adds to rather that take away value. Watch for fun, which is what it is.

回复 :1996年威尼斯电影节Luigi De Laurentiis奖1997年西雅图国际电影节新导演奖介绍：这部貌似简单而带有记录风格的影片描绘出巴勒斯坦爱国电影人Elia Suleiman的个人寻根之旅。影片分成两部分。第一部分记录下拿撒勒古城中荒谬而寂静的阿拉伯地区。第二部分则用一种相对政治化的眼光观察这个城市，而Elia Suleiman在这部分扮演较为积极的角色。他来到自己的出生地找寻灵感，但他所看到的却是阿拉伯人民深陷在文化身份危机中的一幅幅凄惨的画面。最为显著的一个例子：一位阿拉伯少女想要在自己的城镇里获得比传统妇女更独立的地位，然而却因为居住在犹太区的居民怀有偏见而无法实现。

回复 :They come from all over the world but they have one thing in common: The Foreign Legion, their new family. The film tells their stories: of women struggling to keep their love alive, men who leave for battle, and couples forming on hostile ground.
