聊斋艳谭6：玉女聊斋

　　Success in business, having a happy family, and being a rich one are what most people wish for. This is also the wish of the young man A-Hwa. Those who are hardworking, responsible and know how to be grateful will surely be rich and become wealthy.

　　有一户人家，他们世代隐居在由高墙和篱笆围起的一方天地里。与世隔绝的他们不论外界的时代如何更替，文明怎样进展，仍然固守着古老的生活方式，简朴、素雅、纯真。有时候，丰沛的阳光会穿过茂密的守护森林，毫无保留地照耀着每一棵古树、每              一寸厚土，也照耀着光影里两个精灵般嬉戏时而消失又突然显现的 少年。　　成长的路总不是一片坦途，正如叛逆的阵痛永远会如期而至。眼看着新鲜力量就要冲破这亘古的高墙和藩篱，然而母亲的离奇暴毙，妹妹的突然失踪，父亲愈发的心事重重，都令少年更加坚信自己身处在一个古老而危险的秘密之中，而这个秘密的答案，也许就能解开羁绊在自己和妹妹身上的神秘力量的终极谜题...... 

　　雾雪笼罩的怪异河岸。四处散落着钢精和水泥。一栋废弃的摩天大楼。平坦处仍未完工的公路桥。一座宏大的金属制的马的雕像。还有一座列宁的雕塑，他的右手伸展着指向空旷处。这是一个冰冷、僵化的无人之境，衰落的往昔在这里与想象中的未来接壤。人们漫无目的地穿过这个不真实的世界。原先确定无疑的事情不再令人确信，亲戚朋友都消失了，理想已经随风而散。萨莎从国外返回家乡，她死去的父亲曾经是这片建筑工地的主人，现在她继承了这笔遗产：一位正在寻找工友的吉尔吉斯斯坦工人；一位前额有块反着光的红色皮肤的建筑师；一位曾在莫斯科路障旁与叶利钦比肩站立的导游。他们中的一些人会莫名其妙地流鼻血。一位年轻的学生问道，“我们是谁？我是谁？一切都混乱无章。”　　小阿列克谢•日耳曼用七个章节，将他祖国的精神面貌压缩成一部长叙述的象征性电影，一场流畅精心设计的人与摄影机之舞。

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.
