John Kent (Randolph Scott), a former star football player at Harvard, goes to Paris with his friend Huck Haines (Fred Astaire) and the latter's dance band, the Wabash Indianians. Alexander Voyda (Luis Alberni) has booked the band, but refuses to let them play when he finds the musicians are not the Indians he expected, but merely from Indiana (Huck Haines and his Indianians Band).
John turns to the only person he knows in Paris for help, his Aunt Minnie (Helen Westley), who owns the fashionable "Roberta" gown shop. While there, he meets her chief assistant (and secretly the head designer), Stephanie (Irene Dunne). John is quickly smitten with her.
Meanwhile, Huck unexpectedly stumbles upon someone he knows very well. "Countess Scharwenka", a temperamental customer at Roberta's, turns out to be his hometown sweetheart Lizzie Gatz (Ginger Rogers). She gets Huck's band an engagement at the nightclub where she is a featured entertainer.
Two things trouble John. One is Ladislaw (Victor Varconi), the handsome Russian deposed prince and doorman who seems too interested in Stephanie. The other is the memory of Sophie (Claire Dodd), the snobbish, conceited girlfriend he left behind after a quarrel over his lack of sophistication and polish.
When Aunt Minnie dies unexpectedly without leaving a will, John inherits the shop. Knowing nothing about women's fashion and that his aunt intended for Stephanie to inherit the business, he persuades Stephanie to remain as his partner. Correspondents flock to hear what a football player has to say about feminine fashions. Huck gives the answers, making a lot of weird statements about the innovations John is planning to introduce.
Sophie arrives in Paris, attracted by John's good fortune. She enters the shop, looking for a dress, but is dissatisfied with everything Stephanie shows her. Huck persuades her to choose a gown that John had ordered discarded as too vulgar. When John sees her in it, they quarrel for the final time.
John reproaches Stephanie for selling Sophie the gown. Terribly hurt, Stephanie quits the shop. With Roberta's putting on a fashion show in a week, Huck takes over the design work, with predictably bad results. When Stephanie sees his awful creations, she is persuaded to return to save Roberta's reputation.
The show is a triumph, helped by the entertaining of Huck, Countess Scharwenka, and the band. (A pre-stardom Lucille Ball, with platinum blond hair, appears uncredited in her first RKO film[4] as a model wearing an elaborate feather cape, after the vocal by Dunne, in the fashion show.[5]) The closing sensation is a gown modeled by Stephanie herself. At the show, John overhears that she and Ladislaw are leaving Paris and mistakenly assumes that they have married. Later, he congratulates her for becoming a princess. When she informs him that Ladislaw is merely her cousin and that the title has been hers since birth, the lovers are reunited. Huck and Lizzie, who decide to get married, do a final tap dance sequel.
现代艺术都还没搞明白的人，给你展示未来艺术。你觉得扯不扯？
很奇怪的体验，视觉收获极大大过了内在情感收获，所以我坚持认为这不是电影，这是你去逛艺术馆，里面名叫“大卫柯南伯格”的艺术主题分展，包含生物朋克，基因改造，器官裸露，人体解剖，行为艺术，前卫性爱等主题，请按指引依次浏览，门票不退不换，姑且认为苍白单薄的艺术本身就可以叙事，那逛次展能逛出来多少收获也就取决于观众了。
越来越不喜欢这种概念片，完全放弃了故事和叙事么？
哇看的我真是不明所以全程满脸肌肉抽搐，可能我还是很难欣赏身体恐怖类型的恐怖片。
柯南伯格已经进入亟需完成个人作者神话物语的desperate阶段 which is just not exciting anymore
我就记住了：开头一个吃塑料的小孩被谋杀，结尾一位老艺术家开始尝试吃塑料……而中间发生了什么已经记不太清了：几场表演，几次谋杀，一些身份不明的人，一些空洞到令人发指的对话（不知道为什么我一直觉得Léa Seydoux就擅长这种空洞到令人发指的角色，比如《法兰西》里的那位记者）……以前柯南伯格搞“肉体恐怖”，这部片里借了很多以前的梗（肚子上开个口子当作接口，顺便成为新的调情手段，完全是《录影带谋杀案》的想法嘛，40年了都快），但其中的肉体基本上不再恐怖，而是变成了一坨能指堆起来的海洋/实验室/垃圾场，在里面你不会找到任何所指……于是这部电影就成了一部彻底去政治化的美学尝试，在这点上也只能是及格吧。
欣赏不来，器官恐怖还不如那些纯粹的分尸血浆，到头来难道是个环保片？
这个导演和男女主阵容和主题我本来以为尺度很惊人的，没想到走的概念流。大导演的好处就是无需限制级画面就可以让观众有限制级体验。剧情真的挺无聊的，有些概念很有趣，比如进食椅，那个解剖仪器几度引起不适，我反而挺喜欢耳朵人的🤦🏼♀️
柯南伯格还是一如既往以他高概念的世界观作为其创作核心，秉持着悲观的态度审视着地球上日新月异的技术革新。在前卫的设定下摆出一道人类未来宿命的论述题，“Surgery is the new sex ”，以维果汹涌而优柔的表演为主导的，是忠于行为艺术的纯粹践行者与探寻文明演化方式的传道士的自反过程，试图阐释激进的body horror与切割肉体带来的感官刺激放大鉴美的荒谬与潜在语境中媒体态度的失真。从工业文明出发，蕾雅与小k对身体态度的改变延伸至人体异化后的反噬，既是对自然伦理的挑战同时也是对旧有哲学思维的颠覆。饱含对资本垄断的批判倾向，是作为样本符号被政府用于收割的科技载体，在虚空中依附于进化的随机性与无序性，拥抱或是排斥那尚且残留的官能反射，回归欲望的容器，这是独属于柯南伯格寓言化的病理切片。
大闷片，文戏冗长，讨论议题谜之过时，怎么看都觉得应该是导演20年前的作品。《裸体午餐》里的奇异器官，《欲望号快车》的性爱观念，《感官游戏》的骨头工艺，放在2022年就觉得有点吃老本了。
性与切割一度想到《盲兽》，风格化的观赏性还是有的。开始说环保之后一切变得索然无味。
失掉的而感到遗憾，我们正在那条神奇的单单
Porn is also a kind of art.
福柯，颅内高潮，New-fashion sex。
肉体恐惧上升为肉体崇拜。壳是后期作品（《大都会》《星图》），核是早期作品（《感官游戏》《欲望号快车》《录像带谋杀案》），解刨具像化的 “内在美” ，享受创伤和痛苦带来的快感制造未来的新型性爱和人类。在这个时代还能看到保持自己独有风格的电影实属难得，老爷子再接再厉！
“Surgery is the new sex.”
刚最开始看预告的时候，我还以为这是一部类似《钛》，通过画面上的重口味刺激人的心灵的生猛电影呢，刚开始看的时候觉得还是有那味道，往后面看感觉自己还是太天真了。与钛相同的是，两部电影都有自己各自的重口味画面来表达各自的观点，但不同的是本片并没有用太多的重口味画面刺激观众内心，柯南伯格是通过用陈旧的叙述方式给本篇注释了关于对未来世界人类身体的变化、艺术的新形式、人类身体变化带来的影响等哲学话题而深入观众内心，不是所有人都会理解这些观念，也注定不易消化，不是所有人都会喜欢的，所以当然不是能轻易拿大奖的片子。恐怕当代用这种风格拍出这样概念的的导演也只有柯南伯格了，大家好好珍惜吧
K你怎么了啊，演技看得我捉急，雷老师可塑性真的很高
不懂！
假如每年都能长出一个新的肾的话，那每年都能用上苹果最新款啦🐶
