八十年代的恐怖电影《处刑在午夜》(10 to Midnight)中,外表不佳却颇具性格气概的老电影人查尔斯·布朗森在片中饰演一个警探,逮捕到一位专门辣手摧花的杀人犯,苦于没有证据,老查不得已设法编造证据,想送他进大牢,不料被穿帮,凶手放出来后,决定对老查的女儿下手以实行报复。为什么老查根本找不到凶手的罪证呢,原来凶手每次行凶前必把自己的衣服脱光,你想找到任何沾有血迹的衣服、裤子、鞋子,都难如登天。于是,反一号男主角吉恩·戴维斯在片中有一半的戏份都要光着身子。《处刑在午夜》在裸露尺度的把握上,真正做到了“男女平等”,你脱我也脱,像吉恩·戴维斯这种可以走偶像路线的男星,接拍《处刑在午夜》实在得不偿失,别说必须时不时的衣不蔽体,角色形象也负面到极点,从片子的票房来看,他也真是白忙了一场。可能从一开始,吸引他的只是赫赫有名的曾导过黑白原版《恐怖角》(Cape Fear)与《纳瓦隆大炮》(The Guns of Navarone)的大导演J·李·汤普森吧,可惜人有失手马有失蹄,这一回他可是脱得很没价值呐!

Akerman's Toute une nuit is a collection of vignettes depicting the fancies and dramatic moments of a number of people throughout one summer night. The film has little dialogue and relies on a remarkable series of contrasts for effect: a sultry night of deep, often painful depictions of passion visualized in a stark and grainy manner against the backdrop of a spiritless, bland Brussels.
