Hotel manager Marcus Winter is awaiting an important visitor to the Emirates Palace Hotel.His long-time friend – the representative of a big tour operator – should be arriving soon to inspect the hotel.But instead of his friend, it’s a new inspector that comes – Sarah Riems, whose ideas concerning the needs of hotel guests greatly differ from those of Marcus.Trying to impress Sarah with the distinctive flair of his hotel, Marcus makes a grand presentation, emphasizing the spectacular regional cuisine and even taking the inspector on several trips into the breathtaking desert. Still, it looks like a hard sell…At the same time, Anna, the hotel’s decorator, excitedly awaits the arrival of visitors of her own - her pen-pal Max and his friend Holger. Although Max and Anna have only once briefly met, his extremely romantic letters have filled her heart with passion.Once her guests are settled in the hotel though, it becomes quickly obvious to Anna that the Max who had inspired such a love in her through his letters is much different than the one she now sees before her.It’s the artistic Holger who is presently stirring her desire, which leads to a growing rivalry between the two men that strains their friendship.Meanwhile, the single mother Renate and her son Tobias have traveled to the hotel for a dream holiday. Soon, Renate’s real reason for the trip to Dubai surfaces - she wants Tobias to become acquainted with his father, who operates boat tours for the hotel guests – and who doesn’t even know his son exists…
有点失望，要不是女主的演技，实在无法忍受废柴般的镜头。
前半部写实得像纪录片，每个在路上的人都有自己的故事；后半部美得像一首诗，西部广阔的风景加上唯美的配乐，孤独是自由的代价。特别喜欢75岁老奶奶离开前回忆的那段话，“我觉得我这一辈子过得挺不错了“，生命的最后能说出这样的话，那么这一趟的人生也是不错的了。
由衷感叹，独立勇敢又坚贞的硬核女性，本应拥有幸福啊，但好像只有漫无边际的孤独。
D- / 好久没看到过这么无趣的公路片了，摸不透素材选取的思路，采用线性叙事又放弃叙事逻辑而改用场景拼贴，剪辑叙事和摄像各行其道，而影像又空洞而缺乏表现力，因此填充的配乐甚是露怯，和马力克比也差太远。
See you down the road.
講的是遊牧，演的是徘徊，徘徊在回憶裡的遊魂，究竟是能逃到哪裡去啊去？
很喜欢这样的质感，接近纪录片的真诚。感谢导演，给了我宁静的片刻。
EP.1-5 《兄妹的羁绊》
对比科长的山河故人，以及近年好莱坞众多同类电影，涉足荒野之类，本片只能算是顺利完成作业。前三分之二都还保持水准，然后过多的渲染情绪的配乐，就像女性导演不自知的感性一样，让电影逐渐落入不可挽回的俗套，离表达的命题也越来越远。但这种电影，我国也就科长能拍出一部，娄烨拍出半部。ps，乔尔他老婆演起这种片，可比科长老婆水准高太多，演过她老公兄弟那么多片子，弗兰西斯依旧保持独有的特质，堪称美国电影界的女版陈道明也不为过。
偶然摧折或自然地老去
被悲伤孤独抽离后的私人救赎之旅。沿路的同类，兀自的山峦，远方的冷空气。回忆也许美，可是正在飞走对不对。
生命因奇遇而滚动
联想到阿克曼的《安娜的旅程》。区别在于阿克曼风格化的镜头语言下是非常现实主义的片子，而赵婷现实主义外表下的镜头和情节是非常浪漫主义，甚至带有乌托邦色彩的。It’s not a bad thing. I like this film and hope I can practice this kind of life myself one day.
其实本质上，关注和表达视角挺中国人的。想起了当初进藏路上的一些驴友们，还有朋友圈的“职业旅行者”。在路上，对有些人是体验人生的一种方式和一个阶段，对有些人则是内心疗愈的不能停止的精神药剂。
一个孤独女人的史诗，导演拍摄的风平浪静，科恩嫂却演绎出了情绪下的暗潮涌动。电影克制的恰到好处，是一部相当成熟的作品。
放在上大学时候年少轻狂的我为了刷奥斯卡提名片单显得逼格颇高，这类片子是一定要长评加美言几句的。但是对于现在下了班，学完习，只想闲暇时间看点片子放松一下自己的我，只想说，无病呻吟，真墨迹~
我们灿若星河
观影其实是很私密化的体验，如果它能够让我relate，那么对于我来说就是一部好电影。《无依之地》前面1小时20分钟我都是跟在大片留白的剧情后面，偶尔被细节或台词触动，而从Fern离开Dave家的那一刻开始，我开始和她一起上路了。一个人吹着海风，和路上遇到的朋友聊过往，走向未知，孤独但自由。We don’t settle. See you down the road.
中方，中国导演赵婷自幼受社会主义教育。在赴美留学期间关注美国中部底层人民的流浪生活，并拍出一部电影展现了这个受一辈子美元奴役终在晚年决定追逐自己心灵的特殊群体，揭露了资本主义残酷的社会现实。
秀雅风姿将永远翩翩
