影片分为两个不同的部分。第一部分由米尔恰·韦罗尤执导，描述了二十世纪初罗马尼亚一个寡妇的悲惨生活。第二部分由丹·皮察执导，讲的是一个婚礼上的新娘。
　　米尔恰·韦罗尤(1941年出生)和丹·皮察(1938年出生)是罗马尼亚最具独创性的电影制作人，他们一起制作了两部杰出的电影：《石婚》(1972)和《金魂》(1974)。毫无疑问，两部电影都是罗马尼亚有史以来最好的电影之一，在全世界受到了巨大的好评，被纽约现代艺术博物馆收藏。
　　《石婚》根据罗马尼亚作家Ion Agarbiceanu的小说改编，描写了上世纪初特兰西瓦尼亚乡村的生活状况。这些故事充满了一种深深的悲剧性的震撼，一种似乎无处不在的宿命感。所有这些都在令人难忘的摄影中被表达出来。毫不夸张地说，每一个镜头都是一件艺术品。
　　在第一部分中，女演员 Leopoldina Balanuta 的每一个动作、每一个眼神都充满了感性和智慧，她知道如何暗示多年的生活、希望和绝望的积累、固执的爱以及在沉默的斗篷下压抑的巨大痛苦。这些有力的镜头语言，只有第二部分的 Mircea Diaconu (逃兵) 眼中悲剧性的天真才能匹配。
　　两位导演中，米尔恰·韦罗尤喜欢充满沉思的冰冷凝结的风格，而丹·皮察在他的部分，则把它变成了一个充满活力的故事，有许多讽刺的时刻，富有表现力的人物，并在最后有一个痛苦的悲剧转折。
　　无论如何，《石婚》是一部值得一遍又一遍地观看的电影。每一遍，它似乎都增长了新的维度。

Amidst poverty and the landmines Hidir struggles to keep his dream and his young son alive.

　　Coming as it does from the depths of the Stalinist regime, the Russian Road to Life is a remarkably optimistic film. A host of nonprofessional children are cast as Moscow street kids, left homeless by the Bolshevik revolution. They get into all sorts of melodramatic scrapes until they're rounded up by kindly, altruistic Soviet functionaries. The children are reformed (in the nicest possible way) and made useful members of society. Road to Life is simplistic in its solutions to society's problems, albeit no more so than the usual Hollywood product from the same period.

　　帕布斯特的《一个灵魂的秘密》(Geheimnisse einer Seele, 1926)是第一部在电影叙事中严肃地尝试使用新弗洛伊德学派精神分析原理的影片。渴望使用科学方法解决心理问题，使得《一个灵魂的秘密》成为新客观派的另一种变体。这部影片实际上是一个案例研究，一个看似普通的男人，患上了一种刀具恐惧症，他试图从一个精神分析学家那里得到治疗。尽管影片对精神分析的描述太过简单，但一些表现主义风格的梦境段落给影片增添相当多的趣味。

　　In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
　　As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
　　Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
　　The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
　　Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
　　The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
　　The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.

　　自從開始上天主教慕道課以來，恪守教義的少女瑪麗亞便遠離了流行文化，抵抗撒旦化身的種種誘惑。長大之後，嚴厲的母親仍以絕對威權的方式，約束她的生活起居與交友狀況。虔誠的瑪麗亞不但努力達到要求，為了讓罹患自閉症的弟弟能開口說話，她暗自做了一個危險的決定。
　　《少女的歧禱》以工整完美的形式，呼應片中角色的極端行徑。全片十四則標題，借典自耶穌赴難的章回短篇；十四段長鏡頭，築架出儀式般的嚴謹結構，再再讓人聯想起一九五○年羅塞里尼執導的《聖法蘭西斯之花》。不同的是，本片看似冷靜側寫瑪麗亞追求信仰而犧牲奉獻的心路歷程，實則以強烈批判性的諷喻口吻，探討極端的信仰狂熱如何成為威權高壓統治的變種，魄力驚人。
