寂寞的温泉女主人

　　克拉克（马修柏德利，「酷斯拉」）是纽约电影学院的新鲜人，但他还没开始享受大学生涯就被人骗走了行李和所有财物，正当他走投无路之时，竟意外遇上偷走他财物的混混。为弥补克拉克的损失，那混混为克拉克引荐其叔父萨巴提尼（奥斯卡影帝马龙白兰度，「现代启示录」），希望他能帮克拉克安插个工作。虽然萨巴提尼所从事的〃进口生意〃颇受人质疑，他后来却成了克拉克的良师，教了他许多待人处事的经验。马龙白兰度在本片一反以往的作风改走喜剧路线，和他在其代表作「教父」中柯里昂家族的教父形象大相迳庭。

　　本片讲述了一位在东京落魄的美国演员的故事。他受雇于一家日本家庭租赁公司，充当门面上的“美籍演员”，由此通过扮演他人生活中的各种角色，踏上了一段意想不到的自我发现之旅。

　　杜尔勋爵（柯林·法瑞尔 饰）在澳门避风头时，日日夜夜混迹赌场、酗酒赌博，败光身上仅剩的钱财。他很快便陷入债务深渊，幸好一位名叫“稻茗”的赌场员工（陈法拉 饰）对他伸出援手，而来历成谜的她其实藏着不可告人的秘密。　　然而，私家侦探辛西娅·布利特（蒂尔达·斯文顿 饰）对杜尔穷追不舍，矢言揭开他百般逃避的真相。正当他寻求救赎的同时，现实却像牢笼般一步步将他禁锢，让他无处可逃。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
