影片(👷)主(🔨)角是一个78岁的英国著(zhe )名作家(🕋)，他身患(🛍)重(chóng )(🔱)病却仍然(🍥)酗酒成性，口不择言(🌰)。夜晚不时陷于噩梦的缠绕中，令他(tā )想入非非，一边(biān )琢磨(🐿)着(🕔)他(tā )最后一部作品的情(qíng )节构思，一边(biān )回忆着他(tā )的往(🕌)事。于是，噩梦、他的想象加上往(wǎng )事的回忆相互混淆在(zài )(⏺)一起，共同(tóng )(🚣)构成了他作品(pǐn )的故(gù )事(shì )框架。 影片(piàn )将(jiāng )(㊗)文(wén )学创作(zuò )的过程跟(gēn )幻(🐑)想、愤(fèn )怒等融为(wéi )(㊙)一体，制(zhì )造了一个精(🍄)致(⛏)的弗洛(👃)伊(🧤)德哑谜。这是雷奈的(⛳)第(dì )一(yī )部(bù )用英(🕐)语(🐀)拍(🧟)摄的影片。剧本(běn )比较(jiào )拗口罗(luó )(💝)嗦，有(🏉)较重的文学味，影片被认为是(🐛)雷奈(⛏)的杰(jié )(👪)作，博加德的(🌼)演出(chū )尤(📟)为精湛，但(🏒)一般观众(🐡)可能会(huì )觉得(😙)单调(diào )乏味。 Clive Langham (Sir John Gielgud) spends one tormenting night in his bed suffering from health problems and thinking up a story based on his relatives. He is a bitter man and he shows, through flashbacks, how spiteful, conniving and treacherous his family is. But is this how they really are or is it his own vindictive slant on things
