Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
政治这种东西从来就没有对错，只是在于哪个人被置于哪样的对立面上。
故事把那个年代的人可能会经历的所有历史事件都套到了两位男主身上，还有模板式的人物设定和关键节点抉择，这编剧大概是看了几百本二战耽美同人吧，怎么能融合的这么丝滑？
片子拍得还是很用心的，三个年轻人分别是德国、英国和犹太人。没有落入俗套的爱情故事，也没有讨论时代潮流下的个人命运，只是想认真的反映慕尼黑协定那段历史，而且最主要的，想给张伯伦重新画像。
心脏不好 数次在党卫兵搜查环节暂停 演技精湛 CP我站
电影氛围感挺强，演员演技中规中矩不是很推荐的影视作品，高潮部分不够精彩，过程不够流畅，对我而言断断续续的。
张伯伦的功与过通过两个小人物的热血鲁莽的政治行动又被审视了一次

没想到还挺好看的，节奏紧凑，演员表演也挺到位。最高赞腐女评论什么玩意，搞得我一度不想看。加一星给德国小哥的颜值。
7.8，为张伯伦翻案，是有那么点味儿了。但我同意原著的部分思想，张伯伦是个妥协派，也渴望和平。
Jeremy Irons很棒；一首德文jazz 一首片尾曲都很棒；有种追忆似水年华的味道。
很有英国味和凝重感的历史剧，尤其是张伯伦演得非常好。丘吉尔在回忆录里由衷地赞扬张伯伦是个仁慈古典派头的绅士，虽然他的努力只是延缓了一年战争。
彼时彼刻恰似此时此刻。两个年轻男主的人物设置比较吸睛，多给一星。
张伯伦错了吗？我觉得没有，历史有时候很不公平，如果没有他，怎么会有激进的丘吉尔。
街头尾随，Paul在街边坐着等他；
节奏很好 制作精良 希特勒扮相奇怪了点
张伯伦，英国的补锅匠，只是最后这口锅还是漏了。
1.张伯伦正名之战。绥靖政策似乎是当时唯一解。2.片头片尾还有片尾曲好棒。3.30年代的复古质感拉满。4.元首除了不太像，演的还蛮不错。5感情线弱了一点，最有张力的地方出现在中后段。结尾反而趋于平淡。6.最后回来的那架飞机涂装银光闪闪，非常好看。
如果可以让第三次世界大战不爆发，请尽管将前两次无尽的解读下去吧。
阻止不了,但是,,历史中的人物还是在挣扎.
拍得一般，但是现在这个档口看还是感觉不一样的。张伯伦的洗白之路。另外我非常的腐眼看人基，对不起哦。
