The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
伊朗电影杰作《风之棋局》(1976)今年完成修复并参与多个电影节,此前其实很少人看过!这部片在1976年曾入选德黑兰国际电影节并举行试映会,可惜放映被恶意妨碍——放映机发生故障,菲林亦遭到破坏,后来电影节评委将视频从竞赛中撤出。在没有发行商愿意投资的情况下,制片人再没将视频送到任何电影节或举办任何公开放映(据说著名影人Henri Langlois、罗塞里尼和萨耶哲雷在一些私人放映中看过,赞不绝口)。1979年伊斯兰革命后,此片更因其非伊斯兰教内容被禁。随后原底片丢失,坊间只流传一个经审查的低清VHS版本。 佚失四十多年后,导演的儿子竟在一个卖旧戏服配饰的跳蚤市场上,偶然地发现了此片的35毫米底片及声片!他立即买下并送到法国。视频由电影基金会修复,过程更由导演及其女儿亲自监督,此片的摄影师Houshang Baharlou亦亲身参与调色工序...
