David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
感觉表演痕迹太重 和drive my car 高下立见
讽刺力MAX，所谓获奖，所谓艺术，大多是自High。
表现手法很当代艺术，讽刺是刺到了，但又还是比较肤浅。刺不穿这么厚的脸皮的辣种肤浅。佩内洛普是挺牛的，美，还是美。还是做的很好的是，全方位的连带观众一起讽刺了：本我，朝我，虚无，爹，的揭露讽刺。
在学校在家里都找不到认同感和价值感的女儿，在超市偷东西的时候，已经想要打破这种悲哀的生活了，车开过来的时候她没有闪躲，而是闭上了眼。然而她死后，还是没人能真正懂她，暴躁的父亲，被追究的可怜的超市小哥，大家都被卷入这个追责事件里，不断被追究到底是谁害死了女孩。是谁啊。是这个社会，是构成这个压抑社会的每一分子
说讽刺艺术圈 还不如说讽刺当今的社会现象 可是又有什么错呢？资方功成名就以后用自己的钱投资电影 满足自己的一种心理需求而已 导演粉碎了奖杯 也可以理解为抛弃过去成就 对当下作品的决心和认真态度 每一个当下都应该全力以赴 不应该活在过去的成就里才能更好的创作不是么 首先一个人先偏激的语言重伤 愤怒以后失手推搡 哪来无缘无故的争纷呢 各行各业同阶层的每个人都在奋力的竞争着 掌权者乐意见到如此 掌权者保持着平衡让自己的不被夺去光芒 也是另外一种竞争 最后导演讲没想过 那么以前发生的事情有什么好去假设的 哪一个时代的残酷的呢 说讽刺演艺圈还不如说讽刺人性来的更妥帖一些
太冗长了，昏昏欲睡。在西班牙语电影里剧情可以说是毫无惊喜，不够疯。
和解为主题 原谅与道歉 都不简单
几个老戏骨飙戏，但总体也没啥特别的，所以，看完完事儿~
拍电影，看电影，看拍电影，拍看电影。你骂我，我骂你，你们骂我，我骂你们。
女司机遇到飞来横祸后尽己所能去道歉却屡不被接受，选择了自杀后还要被亲妈骂懦弱？？歪？？无法理解。这就好比有人突然卧轨自杀，你们难道要怪司机没住刹车？？？
演员都很出彩！佩内洛普真的是永远的女神！粉碎机的一幕特别有沉浸感，大概可以算是一种当代装置艺术？故事走向毫无惊喜、台词异常直白，强行被灌输并不新鲜的概念……回想起来太糟糕了。
任何在电影节上参赛的叫做≪主竞赛≫的片子，如果不是阿特曼的≪成衣≫那类完全无序全程插科打诨挖苦讥讽的作风，而且在片子结束前15分钟才贡献出第一个反高潮，那就难免普通观众和刁钻的文青影评人两边都不大讨好有共鸣。像Felix和那个阿根廷老艺术家以及恃才傲物的lesbian女导演，三个人多多少少都有点令人讨厌。This film is taking itself too seriously for its own good, so are those bitches in the film within the film.
双男主的化学反应很优，我的笑点都在学院派那位身上。潘子靠这部拿威尼斯影后也说得过去，眼神戏太到位了。
一开始真的蛮期待的 以为又是一部讽刺电影节的 但就是主题不鲜明啊…
一部话剧式电影，全片都靠台词来推进，剧情也挺幽默的
很虐的一部电影，父亲和女儿的和解来的太晚了。
飙戏精，像煎牛排？3分？5分？7分熟？哈哈哈！喜欢这种调侃，给装B一种理由！
节奏控制的很好，演员演技也全部在线，故事深度差一点，太自省了，搞得观众看的很累，像海边下跪那场戏的台词 太累了阿…，倒着抽烟细节很好，整体不错
到最后还是孤独，还是冷漠，真正的罪魁祸首一直在演一场感动自己的戏，同类题材里不算出彩。
小机灵小嘲讽，对于讽刺艺术来说过于冗长了。安东尼奥班德拉斯从年轻到年老的不靠谱。佩内罗普科鲁兹的可爱性感永不老去。
