殡葬师莫三妹在刑满释放不久后的一次出殡中,遇到了孤儿武小文,小文的出现,意外地改变了他对职业和生活的态度。。改编自中国最杰出的文言短篇小说集《聊斋志异》。
书生蒲松龄夜宿兰若寺,被蛤蟆、乌龟两只精怪抓到古井底评判故事好坏,于一寺一井一树间,《崂山道士》《莲花公主》《聂小倩》《画皮》《鲁公女》等《聊斋志异》经典篇章,跨越沧海桑田次第展开,六种故事风格呈现出一场至奇志怪、至情至缘的视听盛宴。。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
