视频简介
Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut. Winner of the 1980 Berlin Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival。以扣人心弦的笔法诉说身兼小偷、人质劫持者、精神病与游民等多重身份的男子史都华一生的故事。除了描绘他前科累累、放荡不羈的鲜活人生，也借此带出了英国下层社会有关暴力、毒品、监狱与犯罪等令人震撼的面貌，以极度真实而又几近残酷的写实手法，刻画出史都华失败潦倒的一生。但令人惊喜的是，作者与史都华都未以悲伤或自怜的口气来诉说哀伤的生命片段，反而能以充满趣味的口吻娓娓道来，使得整本书在浓厚的哀愁中，却洋溢着活泼生动的韵律，是这部作品最奇特、也最具吸引力的地方。。
