古巴是位於加勒比海北部的群島國家，自上世紀六十年代初與美國斷交後，長期面對西方的經濟封鎖，亦令這個島國數十年來未能長足發展。滿街五十年代的古董車、路旁盡是西班牙殖民時代遺下的特色建築、行人呼出的雪茄煙圈；置身古巴國境，仿如走過時光隧道，回到半世紀前的光景。 直至2014年，古巴與美國的關係開始破冰，並於2015年正式復交。隨着禁制逐步解封，古巴也似乎無可避免地需要變天。繼亞洲的北韓後，「旅遊達人」洪永城（Tony）延續「遙遠之旅」，把握國際關係的重要時刻，踏足全美洲唯一實行社會主義的鐵幕國家－ 古巴，親身探索這個神秘國度、從心感受當地的風土人情。 Tony與攝製團隊引領觀眾遊歷古巴首都夏灣拿、哲古華拉長眠之地聖克拉拉等多個城市，登上頂級雪茄出產地雲尼斯山谷等，從而了解古美關係改善，為古巴人民帶來的影響。。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
