A suicidal alcoholic’s last day teems with images of anxiety and Kafkaesque paranoia. Adapted from Marek Hlasko’s novel ‘The First Step in the Clouds’, Has’ feature debut is cinematic delirium tremens, as young man Kuba Kowalski escapes his cramped flat to wander from bar to bar, unable to escape the trap of isolation. The metaphorical noose tightens as Kuba, nearly saved by the love of a good woman, dives deeper into hallucinatory intoxication.

　　The Polish doco for the BFI’s Century of Cinema distinguishes itself from all the others in the series by being the only one not to have any film critics, academics, directors, etc providing a commentary.  Instead it takes the refreshing route of having ordinary people of all ages talking about what’s special to them about movies – so we get some old folks describing their first trip to the cinema when a lot of people didn’t even know what a film was, memories of what it was like to go to the movies as children, teenagers, and adults before, during, and after WWII, and especially the key scenes from films that have made lasting impressions upon them (not unexpectedly, Wajda’s KANAL strikes a nerve), which are shown in accompaniment, so that it becomes the interviewees who ultimately decide what’s shown in the doco.  This kind of stuff is what the ‘100 Years of Cinema’ celebration is really about.

　　一部非常具有匈牙利特点的电影，无论是人物的服装，周围的环境还是影片要表达的主旨上都是典型的匈牙利风格。英国电影评论家David Robinson曾经断言这部影片在2000年以前从未在匈牙利以外的任何国家被广泛接受过，因为很多匈牙利人相信这部影片太过本土化而并不能得到其他国家人们的理解和认同。然而电影是超越国界的语言，我们会被其中任何一点优秀的品质所打动，Huszarik的改编和萨拉的摄影都是非传统的，色彩斑斓的，并且是有创造力的，这就已经足够了。影片表达的是对生命的赞美，描绘自然界中生命的循环往复和人们追忆旧梦时光时的感叹，并在正常的情节发展过程中搀入了男女主角无序的回忆片断，关于他们曾经放荡不羁的爱情生活，影像如油画般精美（Huszarik同时也是一位著名的画家）。
