阿伦娜·马歇尔(黛安娜·里格 Diana Rigg 饰)是一个美艳不可方物的女明星,天性放浪的她从不掩饰对其他男性的喜爱,也十分享受被男性追求的感觉,从而彻底忽略了丈夫和养女的感受。帕特里克(尼古拉斯·克莱 Nicholas Clay 饰)是个血气方刚的英俊小伙,虽然已经有了体弱多病的妻子克里斯汀(简·伯金 Jane Birkin 饰),但他依然难以抵挡向他暗送秋波的阿伦娜的诱惑。今年,位于莱瑟库姆湾旁小岛上的度假旅馆“快乐罗杰”成为了展示罪恶的舞台,来这里渡假的所有游客,似乎都和阿伦娜有个多多少少的利益纠葛。哪里有罪恶,哪里就有波罗(彼得·乌斯蒂诺夫 Peter Ustinov 饰),这次也不例外,聪明的他将一切矛盾都看在眼底。 阿伦娜死了,这令众人毫不意外。尽管每个人都有作案的动机,但每个人又都有完美的不在场证明。究竟是谁杀了阿伦娜?其实凶手早早的,便露出了他狐狸尾巴。
In July 2016, Islamic terrorists stormed a popular café in upscale Dhaka and held its patrons hostage, killing more than 20 people and sending shockwaves across the subcontinent. Faraaz is the youngest son of a rich, politically connected family. That evening, he meets his friends at the café and finds himself caught in the crossfire. How he reacts to the nightmarish situation forms the heart of the story. Offsetting nail-biting tension with unexpected humour – often at the expense of inept law-enforcement officials – Hansal Mehta (Aligarh, LFF 2015) brings his trademark sensitivity, nuance and empathy to this fictionalised retelling. It is particularly striking for the way it looks at religious extremism from the perspective of Muslims who have seen their faith questioned and demonised because of the actions of radical extremists.
