视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。Desolate after experiencing a traumatic incident, Mia travels to the family's summer retreat amid the snow-covered Himalayas in order to regain her strength.

Irrespective of their differing ages, social background and their ideas of happiness, a surprisingly strong bond develops betwee...。《局外人》改编自加缪同名存在主义小说，说的是一个在阿尔及利亚的法裔小职员，孤独内向，不善与人沟通，而且周围也没有人关心他。他对社会的一切事情漠不关心，甚至母亲的去世也没有让他过于伤感。后来他不慎枪杀一个流氓，却第一次引起了社会对他的关注，法庭也以他在母亲的葬礼的表现、平日生活的行为等等推断他本质顽劣。他不接受神父的告解，却对自己的生死有着肯定的看法。现实生活的荒谬，使得这个小职员成为一个无意中与法律和传统习俗格格不入的局外人。维斯康提根据法国存在主义哲学家加缪的名著《局外人》改编，却惨遭滑铁卢，不但恶评如潮，导演自己也不满意。影片主题很鲜明，有冲击力，非常忠实原著，但显得笨拙、拖沓。(此评论转自时光网，仅供参考)本片提名当年威尼斯电影节金狮奖和奥斯卡最佳外语片。。
