Deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation, 20 January 2007 Author: TimothyFarrell from Worcester, MA "Wild in the Streets" comes from the same school of film making that spawned other attempts to connect to the counterculture such as "Skidoo" and "Candy". The difference between this and the aforementioned films is that "Wild in the Streets" is reasonably clever and well-made. It isn't sympathetic to the counterculture and will likely offend those with fond memories of the time. Surprisingly, it was a big hit when released and appealed to the youth whom it ridiculed so much. Unlike "The Trip" and "Psych-Out" (two other AIP films), its not an accurate representation of the movement at all. However it does work as social satire. The direction by Barry Shear is good and makes innovative use of split screen photography. Plus, he keeps everything moving at a quick pace. In its funny moments, the film works well. In its attempts at drama, its helplessly dated and just as funny as the humorous moments. Christopher Jones underplays his role and Shelly Winters overacts. Hal Holbrook offers the best performance and Diane Varsi achieves the right note of "grooviness". The script by Robert Thom has its moments, especially the ending (easily the most ingenious part of the film). "Wild in the Streets" isn't perfect, but deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation. Those into this kind of kitsch will enjoy it the most. I'd rather watch "The Trip" or "Psych-Out" however. (6/10) -from imdb

影片改编自威廉·S·巴勒斯的同名半自传性质小说,讲述1950年代的墨西哥城,40多岁的美国侨民William Lee(丹尼尔·克雷格 Daniel Craig 饰)身处一个小小的美国人社群,但过着独居生活。而年轻的学生Eugene Allerton(德鲁·斯塔基 Drew Starkey 饰)的到来,让Lee重新开始追求与别人建立有意义的关系。
在1946年,神情不安的芭蕾舞演员Rut陪伴他的丈夫Bertil结束了环意大利的学术访问,回到了瑞典。他们在巴塞尔(瑞士西北部城市,在莱茵河畔)的旅店房间里和火车上发生了争吵,他们把食物扔给了窗外饥饿的德国难民。无意间,他们听到了几个瑞典牧师关于婚姻的几句妙语,最终他们两人重修和好…… 在电影主题方面他延续了伯格曼早期电影当中性别对抗以及对婚姻关系的质疑。Rut和Raoul交往的失败以及所导致的不育是剧中关系网的死结,而她后来和丈夫Bertil的结合又产生了Bertil原来的情人Viola的悲剧,这所有一切扭结在一起就像漩涡吞没了生活中的激情。当时伯格曼和她第二任妻子Ellen闹离婚,本片可看作是伯格曼对婚姻的自况。 还有很重要的一点是,《三》是伯格曼早期电影的新尝试,这部电影并不是由故事情节进行推动,而是用人物的心理状态作为电影内部节奏起承转合的离合器,密闭的车厢为人物的情绪主导发挥提供了大舞台。这为他后来更深入的探索奠定了基础。
