英國來的準新郎，空天準備在未婚妻的故鄉波蘭舉行傳統婚禮。婚禮前夕收到別墅做大禮，空天當他興高采烈在院子開挖，準備為兩人未來的家整理新貌，卻意外挖出一具白骨。婚禮當天，熱鬧的筵席從白天進行到黑夜，觥籌交錯間，新郎開始失態，還冒出流利的意第緒語。岳父擔心他有癲癇，大舅子以為他借酒裝瘋，還有個醋罈子不斷挑釁。當新娘在一旁乾焦急的時候，一位老人家發現附在新郎身上的鬼，竟是他認識的女子，情況更加混亂詭異⋯⋯。波蘭導演馬辛羅納以現代視角講述猶太傳說，新郎著了魔固然恐怖，但眾人企圖粉飾太平的瘋狂執念，更像惡鬼現形。以色列帥哥伊泰提倫把準新郎從瀟灑男兒郎變成一身二魂、備受折磨到徹底失控，演得入木三分。而本片導演於波蘭首映前陳屍酒店的噩耗，則讓這個關於詛咒的故事，更添離奇色彩。

回复 :The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years.At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with.But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood.I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential.by D.R. SHIMON@lounge.moviecodec.com
