After some quick subterfuge with an employee, Charlie leaves for a weekend trip to Palm Springs with his girlfriend, Susanna (Valeria Golino).

Charlie's trip is cancelled by news that his estranged father (whom Charlie has not seen in over 20 years since he ran away from home at age 15), Sanford Babbitt, has died. Charlie travels to Cincinnati, Ohio, to settle the estate, where he learns an undisclosed trustee is inheriting $3 million on behalf of an unnamed beneficiary, while all he is to receive is a classic Buick Roadmaster convertible and several prize rose bushes. Eventually, Charlie learns the money is being directed to a mental institution, which is the home of his older brother with autism, Raymond (Dustin Hoffman), of whose existence Charlie was previously unaware. This leads Charlie to ask the question that permeates the movie: "Why didn't somebody tell me I had a brother?"

La pianiste

La pianiste? 鋼琴教師

Erika Kohut (Isabelle Huppert) is a piano professor at a Vienna music conservatory. Although already in her forties, she still lives in an apartment with her domineering mother (Annie Girardot); her father is a long-standing resident in a lunatic asylum.

The audience is gradually shown truths about Erika's private life. Behind her assured fa?ade, she is a woman whose sexual repression verges into full-fledged desperation and is manifested in a long list of paraphilias, including (but by no means limited to) voyeurism and sadomasochistic fetishes such as sexual self-mutilation.
Upon meeting Walter Klemmer (Beno?t Magimel), a charming 17-year-old engineering student from a bourgeois background, they begin to obsess each other. Even though she initially attempts to prevent consistent contact and even tries to undermine his application to the conservatory, he eventually becomes her pupil. Like her, he appreciates and is a gifted interpreter of Schumann and Schubert…

40歲的Erika Kohut(伊莎貝爾?于佩爾 Isabelle Huppert 飾)表面上是一個(gè)優(yōu)雅的鋼琴老師,外形獨(dú)特、氣質(zhì)出眾,但對(duì)學(xué)生卻無比嚴(yán)厲。一切都是她面對(duì)自己的母親無休止的折磨:專制又無理,令Erika的各種欲 望都無法發(fā)泄。Erika每每躲在廁所用剃刀傷害自己以求快感,嗅著內(nèi)褲上的味道以發(fā)泄欲望,還去租看色情錄像帶。于是當(dāng)18歲英俊沖動(dòng)的 Walter(伯努瓦?馬吉梅 Beno?t Magimel飾)闖進(jìn)她的生活時(shí),一切都改變了。他們互相需索互相慰藉,Erika以為她終于找到了自己的幸福,然而年少的Walter有一日厭倦了這種關(guān)系……

Drugged and confused, she remembers nothing of what happened after the car accident.

To her horror, she learns that her husband Douglas (Charles S. Dutton) was brutally murdered and that she is the primary suspect. While Miranda copes with her new life in the hospital, the ghost uses her body to carry out messages (most noticeably, she carves the words "not alone" into Miranda's arm) which leads her former colleagues to believe Miranda is suicidal and is inflicting the wounds on herself.

American Psycho

American Psycho? 美國精神病人

Set in Manhattan and beginning on April Fools' Day 1987 and ending in October 1989 (the April 27, 1987 U2 cover of Time Magazine and the October 1989 opening of The Threepenny Opera on Broadway are specifically referenced to bookend the book's action), American Psycho is the story of the daily life of wealthy young investment banker Patrick Bateman. Bateman, 26 years old when the story begins, narrates his everyday activities, from his working and recreational life among the Wall Street elite of New York to his forays into murder by nightfall.

Bateman comes from a privileged background, having graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard (class of 1984), and then Harvard Business School (class of 1986). He works as a vice president at a Wall Street investment company and lives in an expensive Manhattan apartment on the Upper West Side, where he embodies the 1980s yuppie culture. Through present tense stream-of-consciousness narrative, he describes his conversations with colleagues in bars and cafes, his office, and nightclubs. The first third of the book contains no violence (except for subtle references apparent only in retrospect), and is simply an account of what seems to be a series of Friday nights, as Bateman documents travelling with his colleagues to a variety of nightclubs, where they snort cocaine, critique fellow club-goers' clothing, trade fashion advice, and question one another on proper etiquette.
