在1930年代,当时世界被战争而分裂,人类处在激情与痛苦当中。导演理查德·隆克瑞恩巧妙地将故事中的狡诈、阴谋、残暴,与当代法西斯象征主义结合在一起。伊安·麦克莱恩演出理查三世,他欲夺取兄长的王位,谋杀、骗婚、歼灭亲族无所不用其极,这样强烈的欲望,驱使他永无止尽的毁掉周遭的人。 影片是根据莎士比亚的名剧《理查三世》改编而成的,但是影片将故事发生的时间背景由原著中1483-1485年转换到1930年。将莎士比亚的剧作移植到其它年代,是电影人常常做的事,但是却不一定每次都做的好。难能可贵的是,这版《理查三世》不但以睿哲的智能改编了这部剧作,并且在不破坏莎翁美丽的词句下,为此剧注入现代的活力。

The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history, laying waste not only to Europe’s people but also its infrastructure, institutions and its moral foundations. Only at the war’s end was the true scale of human suffering and misery revealed, and so devastating was the scene that Europe was dubbed ‘The New Dark Continent'. But for civilians in particular, liberation often marked not the end of their troubles but the beginning of new ones, with famine and disease widespread and an atmosphere thick with ethnic tension and revenge. This film will re-examine the aftermath of the War to ask if too much stress has been laid on an optimistic view of victory in Europe with celebratory images of VE day and newsreel coverage of the liberation of places like Paris. While narratives of hope and reconciliation are important, are parallel stories showing the darker side of peace yet to receive due prominence? Liberation was bitter, bloody and vengeful, and there were profound and pervasive fears that the peace could be lost. Through rare archive and unique personal testimony, this film reveals the ‘poisoned peace’ of 1945 to throw light on a post-war Europe where civilisation teetered on the brink of chaos, but the story of the transition from war to peace forms the hinge on which modern European history turns.
