阿洛伊斯·利斯

In this film, a couple, after seeing the lovely job a friend of theirs has done in converting an old mill house into a cozy mansion, moves into an old farmhouse after persuading the current owner, an old man, to leave. When they arrive, he appears to be preparing to leave, but it soon becomes evident that the man has no intention of going to live with his children, and intends to stay in the house. At first, they find his presence unbearable, but when he must go to the hospital, they begin to realize that they care for the feisty old gentleman.                                                                      ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

这部作品最特别的在于整个故事是以赫拉巴尔的童年经历为蓝本，他小时候家里有座自营的啤酒厂，母亲迷人大方，父亲勤劳内向，平和的家庭却因为叔叔宛如不速之客的介入，而起了波澜 ...... 一部充满诗意、想像、幽默与捷克啤酒金黄魅力的杰出喜剧。 伊利曼佐一向被公认为是最擅长改编捷 克文豪拉拔尔作品的导演，包括【严密监视的列车】、【失翼灵雀】等，两人一共合作了五部作品。拉拔尔擅以幽默俚俗的语调来呈现人民的性格，融政治历史**讽喻于其中。
