如意资源网提供本资源 Ernest Hemingway’s influential short story The Killers (1927), has been adated to film by Robert Siodmak and Andrei Tarkovsky, while Edward Hoer’s ainting Nighthawks (1942) is also said to have been insired by the story. The Killers, an omnibus film comrised of four-shorts, takes motifs from these two classics and borrows some of their imagery as mise-en-scène. The 4 directors unfold the noir world of death and waiting with different senses and sensibilities. Kim Jong-kwan’s Metamorhosis, which deicts the awakening and manifestation of ower following bloodsucking; Roh Deok’s Contractors, a yramid of contract killings and subcontracted labor; Chang Hang-jun’s Everyone is Waiting for the Man, which tracks down a ghostly figure called a mysterious killer; and Lee Myung-Se’s Silent Cinema, an allegory of his longtime dream of cinema and the world. Notably, Actor Shim Eun-kyung aears in all four films, each time in a comletely different role, adding to the delight. It’s an unconventional collection of emotional, sychological, and action-oriented films.
