生死新纪元

　　At first glance, it seems like an ordinary sports movie based on Kendo. Jaewoo, who joins the national team selection process, is treated as a soon-to-be eliminated player from the first day. However, IRON MASK does not simply follow the typical sports movie formula. It sets the tension high early on, by showcasing an intense confrontation between Jaewoo and the unbeatable top-ranked player, Taesu. From there, it gradually reveals why Jaewoo is there, peeling away the layers of his story like an onion. Thus, the film expands beyond being just a sports movie and veers into sharp psychological drama. The sharpness of Jaewoo’s emotions is vividly reflected in his Kendo, while also representing the challenges he must unravel in his life. The ending is quite thought-provoking. The captivating cinematography exudes the excitement of Kendo matches in an electrifying way, making IRON MASK worthy of note. (Rhana JANG)

　　本剧是将同时也是医生的芥川奖作家南木佳士的同名小说改编成由中村梅雀和津田宽治主演的人性剧。本剧以信州美丽的大自然为背景，刻画了从静冈医院转院到故乡医院的末期癌症患者和他为了实现他临终的愿望而真挚面对的医生们的心灵交流。导演是《某个审讯》的村桥明郎。
　　山中静夫从自己家所在的静冈医院来到了信州的综合医院。他是被宣告余命的末期癌症患者，担当医生的今井俊行，考虑到陪伴家人的负担，建议在静冈的医院进行再治疗。但是，山中说“反正要死的话，看着生长的山想死”，选择在这里的治疗。他瞒着妻子，决定亲手在故乡的墓地里造墓。知道了这个的今井，为了实现他临终的愿望，拼命地支持他。另一方面，今井因为面对众多患者的死亡而最终患上了抑郁症。

　　七年前，日本驻英领事馆发生了一起致命性的中毒事件，而唯一的幸存者也被国际犯罪组织劫走。出于政治原因，日本政府决定将此事隐瞒了下来。 七年后，前国际犯罪情报事务局理事马克·刘来到日本追查犯罪组织头目渡鸦的踪迹。东京警视厅派出特别干员杉下右京及冠城亘前往协助。然而，警方的第一个线人很快就被一个神秘的黑衣男子杀害。不久后犯罪组织入侵了外交部的官方网，并放出一段录像，在录像中的正是七年前失踪的幸存者，鹭泽瑛里佳。组织向日本政府索要9亿日元，并扬言如果不服从要求，数百万人将会见证日本的毁灭……

　　从小在训练池畔长大、以成为游泳冠军为目标的库巴（Mateusz Banasiuk 饰），一直与母亲及女友同住狭小的公寓中。夹在母亲亦步亦趋的“贴身”照顾与女友黏腻交缠的规律生活之间，爱似乎只是义务，欲望则是身外之物。更衣室里随处可见精壮男体，但面对体内升起的另类冲动，库 巴总选择在野外公厕的狭小厕间里解决欲望。直到一场派对上邂逅有着截然不同生活的英俊大学生米哈尔（Bartosz Gelner 饰），库巴潜于水面下的爱欲情潮顷刻失控，规律的生活被打破殆尽，身边的人们也被卷入情感的暗流......
　　这是一部关于爱、缺少爱、以及诚实面对爱的电影。波兰新锐导演汤姆斯·瓦西莱斯基以时而冷冽、时而狂乱的摄影，奠定了都市高楼林立、人群拥挤却疏离的故事基调。电影成功捕捉在充满教条的社会框架中、人与人之间看似稳固实则扭曲的生存状态。多层次的声音设计更将压抑的欲望层层堆砌直至爆发。

　　Massive machines require engineering extremes.
　　The massive man-made satellite, commonly known as the International Space Station, hurtling around the Earth at 27,600 km an hour, has been a temporary home for humans for the last 20 years. The biggest land vehicle on earth, a bucket excavator titled Bagger 293, that can move 240,000 cubic meters of dirt each day. Innovation has always meant building bigger, faster, taller, longer and stronger than anything that came before. We’ve seen them in dramatic visual fashion. But how do these actually work? What sets each machine apart. What big ideas drove its evolution and what limitations did this machine overcome? What forces was it built to withstand and where is the breaking point? Using CGI and expert insights, we ‘strip down’ the design of some of the world’s unique colossal machines and reveal mechanical secrets that not only made them work, but also changed the world in a big way!
　　Each episode explores four incredible machines, linked thematically. From sea and space faring designs, to mega airborne, mining and industrial machines, we’ll break down what they can do as well as key inner mechanics and materials that make it all possible. Dynamic archival footage featuring; slow motion, aerials, and time-lapses get us past the ‘caution’ tape and up close and personal with these compound monsters. CGI provides breakouts and blueprints and a look at hidden mechanisms. Adding expertise of structural, mechanical, chemical and forensic engineers to help reveal what’s at stake when these colossal constructions are put work, and how all the pieces come together to make a big impact.
