视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。斯坦利·库布里克在电影史上留下了永远无法磨灭的印记。 他在电影制作领域的成就卓著,他的作品可以被称作最纯粹的艺术品,不断地被学生和其他电影大师拿来研究,试图从中解读出库布里克缄口不言的答案。虽然库布里克是有史以来最受关注的电影人之一,但直到现在,听库布里克说话的机会还是很少。本片收录了这位大师的珍贵的采访,其中包含哲学探讨、电影名作解析,配以拍摄现场的照片,深入解读库布里克独特的电影世界和魅力。。
