It’s another one of Guazzoni’s ancient dramas, this time about Agrippina, the mother of Nero. After she manages to make him emperor of Rome, he finds her a nuisance. Sadly she is immune to poison and sinking her ship didn’t kill her either – she simply swam ashore. In the end a sword through her stomach did the trick: Few people are immune to that. Actually not all of the above...$叙事的转承启合错落有致$第一部意大利默片儿。讲究的服装还有实景拍摄,大跨度的场景调度(由室内切至大海),剧情安排十分紧凑,15分钟把妻杀夫助子成王而后子又杀母的古代戏剧讲得很完满,真不像是10年代的电影的感觉。要是能加上配音就完美了。包括帕索里尼和莱昂内在内的意大利人真是擅长拿捏这类题材,谁让他们有罗马呢!$Agrippina与Nero母子间的权力斗争。以毒杀丈夫始、以弑杀母亲终。10年代欧洲风格的空间调度。$影像敘事太成熟了!
