被捉奸的妻子朋友

　　超低温下で重力がなくなる“冷却線“を使って、宇宙人・ナタールが地球侵略を開始した。地球の各地では、鉄橋が光りながら空中へ浮き上がったり、汽船が山に激突したり、海が凍って空に逆流したりと奇怪な事件が次々に起こる。科学者たちのグループは冷却線の攻撃に対抗すべく、熱線砲を開発、彼らの基地があると思われる月へと向かうが……。熱線砲を抱えて月へ出発するスピップ号、途中出くわす宇宙ステーション、そしてナタールの円盤群など、宇宙空間を舞台に特技監督・円谷英二の腕が全編に冴えわたったSF映画。1959年の製作とは思えない凝ったディテールと凄まじいアクションが魅力。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

　　他那咄咄逼人的控制狂母亲　　成就了二十世纪英国最伟大的画家之一　　L.S. 洛瑞是二十世纪英国最伟大的国民画家之一，独特的画风深受英国民众喜爱。但是他的画作在早期却遭艺术评论家嘲笑为出自儿童之手，因为他笔下的人物，头大大，身体细细，就像一根根的火柴棒一样，被称为“火柴男人”。虽然说洛瑞的母亲伊莉莎白女士，一生都在阻扰他的艺术事业，但是洛瑞之所以能够成为优秀的画家，却不得不归功于他的母亲。在他父亲去世之后，洛瑞负责照顾卧病在床的母亲，每每等到她入睡了才在阁楼开始作画，全心全意，甘之如饴。抑鬱寡欢的伊莉莎白总是叨叨念著她对儿子的不满与失望，洛瑞却终其一生都在追寻著如何让母亲快乐，他的生活与他的画作都渴望著母亲的认同。本片由知名皇家莎士比亚剧场前任总监亚德里安．诺布尔担任导演，找来坎城影帝提摩西司伯饰演这位伟大的画家，以及坎城影后凡妮莎蕾格烈芙饰演控制狂的母亲。两人精湛的演技，演活了这对讽刺却又带幽默的母子。　　「烟囱林立以及冒著黑烟的天空，火柴男子出现在一成不变的工业景观裡踽踽独行。」洛瑞的作品纪录了后工业化的英国城市景观，以及人们的疏离，直到现在，仍能引起共鸣。他在晚年被皇家艺术学会及曼彻斯特学院延揽，作品曾以370万英镑高价售出。他多次拒绝了英国首相颁发的勳章，并拒绝了勳爵的封号。
