Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
9/10.
第一个 识作不识 第二个 不识作不识 第三个 不识作识 这闭幕电影很绝。
3.8分。
感觉像看了三集《深夜食堂》。典型的日本式别扭/憋屈。第一个故事好狗血。
滨口在调度同志天菜和顶级绿茶演绎轻盈小品上确实有一手，比较喜欢第三个拉拉故事。以及这片的编剧和摄影都是洪尚秀吗？
虽然这可能并不是真正意义上的女性题材电影，但老雷的作品从来不缺乏坚强，勇敢无畏的女性，《最后的决斗》再到让我再次感受到了《末路狂花》的那股狠劲。
年度十佳预定！女性视角，就很轻灵高级，虽然封闭空间比较多，台词满满，舞台化了一点，但极佳的文本以及美学，显得很自然，演员被剧本带动起来，情绪充沛且真切，滨口很擅长拍女演员。偶然与想象，很贴近于戏剧作品的源头本质，三个故事都值得回味。
滨口龙介的电影让人有“只要有好的故事，谁都能拍电影"的感觉。但这样清淡自然的画面也不是谁都能驾驭的。2021年除了这部，另有一部斩获更多大奖的作品还没得以一观真是期待，滨口龙介不出名已是不行。
这部电影是三段式结构，分别是《魔法》，《开着的门》，《再来一次》，
一系列的偶然，是日常；一系列的想像，是生活。将日常生活拍得如此舒服温柔，又充满了一丝的诗意，残酷和孤独。实在是妙哉～
比随心所欲的洪尚秀更注重剧本的设计 但尚未有侯麦那种信手拈来一针见血的尖锐
每个故事都关于爱情，每个故事都有惊喜，完全不落俗套。扎实的剧本，台词过硬，每个故事都有适度的缝隙留给观众去想象，滨口龙介大赞。
滨口一如既往没让人失望，情愫在整个影片中环绕。选用的关键词也特别相关情欲这个词。看得出来滨口想要突破文学，但对于电影来说，对话的长度或多或少成了累赘，而小说并不是。已经是相当克制的手法呈现，我感觉还差那么一点点，或许下一部能有所突破吧。
感觉像看了三集《深夜食堂》。典型的日本式别扭/憋屈。第一个故事好狗血。
看似剧本驱动，形式简洁富于节奏，实则超级难拍。对演员的要求极高，滨口折磨起演员来想必不下于小津。
太好了，《夜以继日》看到了滨口龙介的技术水平，这个短片集看到了他的才华和灵气。如果说洪尚秀的电影是一篇篇散文，那么滨口龙介就是一首诗歌。用有限的场景，简短的篇幅，让人看到了无限延展的故事。就是“好像什么都没说，却又说了很多”的感觉。最后一部分最温柔治愈，把女性之间的情感用“偶然相遇”的故事平淡的讲述。第二部分女主角读书的部分迸发的情欲，虽然拍摄克制，但比朴赞郁的《小姐》更甚。喜欢程度:《再来一次》＞《开着的门》＞《魔法》。评分:8.5/10。
到现在最喜欢的一部滨口龙介，每个故事都很值得玩味，都有很迷人的女性角色，最喜欢第三个，完美诠释了偶然与想象的内涵
镜头跟洪常秀的一类，但跟那种日常不一样的是这边的人物凸显出来的情感层次感更强一些。最后一个故事，如果我早几年看到的话可能没办法有所感触，但是我现在这个年龄就刚刚好能体会到，难能可贵的陌生人。
威尼斯非竞赛单元全球首映，超爱雷爵爷的《天国王朝》，没想到有生之年还能看到他再次指导历史题材电影。男人的行为永远是为了争夺脸面，为了宣示权利，无人关心受伤害的女性，她的发声遭到质疑，她的命运身不由己。
滨口好喜欢又一个窗口的封闭的空间啊，车厢、电车厢、办公室、 带窗子的客厅、带窗子的咖啡厅，像是一个盒子，戏码在这里面上演，最喜欢第二个故事，不是特别喜欢第三个故事，假定性叠加假定性，已经超过偶然太多了。
