Simon refuses to leave the spotlight at an annual thought-leader summit, leading to an obsession with his new opponent and a growing rift with his ailing wife, Claire.
影片简介 做了多年职业杀手的乔舒亚在一次合同途中,要在小奥德萨停留,因为当年的他就是从这俄罗斯移民区跑出去闯荡江湖的,这里有他的亲人和朋友。但是这次省亲彻底失败,母亲重病不起,父亲嫌他名声不好,态度冷淡,旧日的爱情和兄弟间的手足情都已成为过眼云烟,而惟有当地的黑帮对他的旧怨一丝没有减退... 影片评价 最初,导演James Gray万事俱备, 只是找不到理想的男主角----一个青年版帕西诺, 很巧他看了《凡高与提奥》, 当时的反应就是"这人是谁!", 他那时还没看过《落水狗》, 立刻找了来看, 看完了决定Tim就是乔舒亚; 他随后去找Tim, Tim和他谈过后, 当即同意出演: 那时他既没看剧本也没问价钱, 就直接签上了自已的名字. 对此Gray对记者说: 他, 有种. 对片中的一段床戏, Tim说他这么多年, 即使从前拍captives, 也没碰到过这种情况. 据他的描述, 演他女朋友的Moira Kelly是个很清高的女孩子, 而且信天主教, 拍戏之前他们都喝了点酒, 然后一遍就通过了. 有人统计Tim在这个片子里只笑了两次. James Gray评价TR, 说他"人很好, 但是被一些黑暗的东西吸引". 本片获得1994年威尼斯电影节最佳女配角

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Paul McCartney was in New York City on an airport runway waiting to fly to Britain. As he absorbed the news of the unfolding tragedy, he wondered, “What can I do?” The answer, of course, lay in music. McCartney reached out to master documentarian and long-time friend Albert Maysles, inviting Maysles to document his personal experiences on 16mm black and white film, a format seldom used in the digital age but of proven endurance and artistic quality. Over several weeks in October 2001, Maysles’ camera followed McCartney as he prepared for The Concert for New York City, a benefit he helped organize to uplift New York City during this period of uncertainty and vulnerability. The footage went unseen for years, requiring the passage of time to be put in perspective. Now, ten years later, Maysles, his directing partner Bradley Kaplan and editor Ian Markiewicz have emerged with an intimate work that explores the role of art and artists in a time of crisis.
