法国导演维达尔想重拍一部默片时代的吸血鬼影片。看过香港电影《东方三侠》后决定启用其中的女主演张曼玉。张到法国后只能用英语与周遭的人沟通,所以拍摄过程很不顺利。这其间,大家都在议论张与服装师的异常关系,制片人也开始怀疑导演维达尔的能力和动机。有一天,导演在看完刚拍完的镜头后突然出现精神不正常的状况,制片人终于要决心撤换导演和女主演......《伊》片以戏中戏的形式展开,以虚实结合的手法表现一部影片在拍摄过程中台前幕后的种种状况,探讨人与艺术,即现实与梦幻扑朔迷离的联系。
Beautiful and raw combination of lyricism and realism in debut drama about a woman with cancer running to her gorgeous, polluted home island to face herself. When Noelia finds out that her cancer has spread, she sets aside the search for new procedures and abruptly goes from San Juan back to Vieques, the island where she grew up in southwest Puerto Rico. At home with her mother, in this place with which she is intimately tied (where the beaches are as marvelous as the sea is polluted, in the traces of US colonialism), she seeks her individual strength and takes part in environmental activism one last time. At the same time, a hurricane approaches. Glorimar Marrero Sánchez creates her own visual language in a film that tells us about disfigured bodies and land, and that both enchants and simplifies. A magnificent Isabel Rodriguez in the leading role gives Noelia dignity and an enormous power. And mediates that there is also a light in grief.
