Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
配乐好听，但略显泛滥，不过整体来说很成熟了，懂得克制，收放自如，一些事点到为止就可以，没有过多着墨。予人以尊严，予生命以尊重，在泥潭里寻觅转瞬即逝的诗意，十分动人了。
让人想起卡尔维诺写的：你走了那么远的路，只是为了摆脱怀旧的重负。
我们要飞到那遥远地方看一看 这世界依旧那么凄凉
房车是船舶，房子是陆地，在海面漂泊经久，已不能在陆地安睡。于路上修行，在人间流浪。不是抛弃一切上路，而是带上一切前行，父亲送的盘子，丈夫留的照片，车里装着岩石中间的那一点空气，赖以维生。见过悬崖百燕纷飞的盛景，念过与你白头不朽的诗篇，纵使生活在没有他的世界，只要在路上就不会诀别。
这种题材就该肯·洛奇来拍，此片只拍成了资产阶级体验生活，布尔乔亚心灵鸡汤，伪善底层关怀自我感动，避重就轻偷换议题，当演员置身于真实人群，表演在真实面前相形见绌，配乐全去掉，出戏得很，又不是自然风光片，收尾非常拖拉，只见天地见自己，不想见众生，
除电影本身而言，现在的Anti-Asian Hate运动/ First color Asian women 应该起到了一定的作用，不能说这没有“天时地利人和”的”运气” or 运气本事也是一种实力？
不太能看下去，没有一个事件是能令人专注的，甚至对于这样一个题材来说镜头从来没有认真倾听过它的那些上路人，总是忍不住切到麦克多蒙德。
想到了之前报道的开车离家的中国大妈，都觉的她开车驶向自由，可一路上在哪里如厕？停车时候会不会被驱赶？天冷的时候怎么办？抛锚在人迹罕至的地方谁去搭救？就像片尾致敬的那样，她不是兴高采烈地驾驶出行，而是不得不上路。愿每一个不得不远行的人平安，能遇到为你向火里投石的朋友。
第三部作品 就已经能一窥 赵婷 本人的风格了 摄影上的别致 关注西部边缘人物 辽阔的室外远景与逼仄的室内（这里是车内）近景的结合 不得不说 视听 情绪与文本结合得相当自然 具有打动人的力量和沉浸式的体验 虽个人审美上 并不喜欢这样充满学院派范儿的影片 但还是承认其成熟后的沉稳与肉眼可见的进步 另外 配乐也是亮眼的点缀8.2
巴黎终于首映了。混合职业演员和非职业演员是一件很risky的事。Einaudi的fingerprint太重了，配音煽情能少一点也许更上一个层次？片子看到一半意识到，神经系统习惯/惯性才是人类最应该抗拒的？“所谓”底层的故事，无论在哪个国家，都需要更多。但拍好真的很不易。frances mcdormand演的好，没有她这个片是另外一个样子吧。所有人都很温暖的电影，很多都描述的很委婉，留给人思考的空间很大，戏剧化降到最低，导演的基调，👍🏻。
流浪、孤独、放逐，并不是通向幸福，走向乌托邦。就像哲学里的经典命题——自由意志真的存在吗？我们的生活不完全是自己的选择，也是环境和现实作用的结果。走入流浪、孤独和放逐的生活，无关是否自由，但要坚强面对，即便在别人看来很可怜，甚至像是命运里的小丑。
飘散着纪录片风格的drama, 让习惯了一种模式过人生的城市人看到了生命的其他活法，主动选择还是迫不得已。

刚开始，你以为它只是蜻蜓点水的伪文艺，慢慢的，你会看到零星的段落，然后你会感同身受，那些在路上的人，都是回不去的人，到最后，其实每个人都如此。那些景观，有意而为之，淡化人物情感，以观察者自居，却达到意想不到的纪实感，过犹不及。有时候好的作品可能真不是艺术家的有意为之，而是即兴使然，想想李安的作品，是不是也是神一部、鬼一部，赵婷亦然。
对她来说，漂泊即是安宁。把石头扔进篝火，死去的亡灵化作满天星，每一块石头都证明，在路上。
赵婷并不像旁观者去触及一个未知的领域，她更像是一个游牧在美国西部的人间烟火，去以最高度的对任何生命的共情和敬畏，将自己融在那里。她影像所呈现的真实，就像电影中任何一个人物。在体验过人间的一切，更敢于为自己而活，即使这个过程也充满着未知，充满着痛楚，也充满着随遇而安的快感。可能是今年最佳了。。
希望所有我爱的人都不必有这样的游荡和浪漫。
代替你的归宿
其实不单单诠释的是孤独，而是如何解脱，知道最后Fern都没有走出来，在没有他的世界我该如何活下去？唯有走在路上，孤独的找答案，找到答案的时候，也就是和自己和解的时候。
好一句“回忆在，人就在”，压抑隐忍的90分钟终于等来海边冲破悲痛的情感释放，却也如此短暂又即刻上路，结尾收手稍慢，演技BGM完美，沉浸体验式镜头语言。满分。
