爱的真谛

　　When school teacher Harriet Winslow goes to Mexico to teach, she is kidnapped by Gen. Tomas Arroyo and his revolutionaries. An aging American, Ambrose "Old Gringo" Bierce also in Mexico, befriends Gen. Arroyo and meets Harriet. Bierce is a famous writer, who knowing that he is dying, wishes to keep his identity secret so he can determine his own fate. Though he likes Arroyo, Bierce tries to provoke the General's anger whenever possible in an attempt to get himself killed, thus avoiding suffering through his illness. Winslow is intrigued by both Bierce and Arroyo, and the men are in turn attracted to her. She becomes romantically involved with Arroyo. When Winslow learns of Bierce's true identity (a writer whose work she has loved and respected for years), she is singlemindedly determined to fulfill his dying wish.

　　本片改编自同名漫画，讲述了高中教师原美铃一边隐瞒与好友美奈子的未婚夫早藤的关系，一边从讲台的高处俯视观察学生们，偷偷地满足自尊心。但是，假装平静的日常生活因为自己班上的男学生·新妻的事件而开始崩溃…

 意大利导演费德里克．费里尼的中期经典作《八部半》是其成熟高峰期作品，此后开始走向糜烂而至腐败，偏于肉欲放纵和自我沉溺，像《费里尼之萨蒂尼康》（六九年）和本片，都是糜烂颓废的出色力作。本片反映了十八世纪基督道德不振后的上流腐化放纵，费里尼尽情借题发挥，展现出精英文艺在人欲横流下的腐烂情态。大情人卡萨诺华是在情场屡战屡胜的“性斗士"，不断猎艳，还参加造爱竞赛。但这大情人苦于人人只重他的性爱能力，不重视他经世济民治国的才学。而且女人们对他都“有性无爱"，当他衰老得失去性魅力之后，就只能把一个机械女人当作梦中情人，很可悲可怜。
