The main story is set in a British Military Intelligence Office in Whitehall during 1956, where a small group of foreign affairs analysts find their quiet existence disrupted by the Suez Crisis. Ewan McGregor plays Mick Hopper, who is doing his national service as an interpreter of Russian documents. Bored with his job, Hopper spends his days creating fantasy daydreams that involve his work colleagues breaking into contemporary hit songs. Louise Germaine plays Sylvia Berry, the blonde wife of the violent Corporal Pete Berry (Douglas Henshall). Sylvia is an object of desire for Mick's fellow clerk Private Francis Francis and a middle-aged pipe-organist named Harold Atterbow (Roy Hudd). Unlike the street-wise Hopper, Francis is a clumsy Welsh intellectual whose academic career has been interrupted by his army call up. The appearance of the bookish niece of a seconded American officer enables the two conscripts to pair off with suitable partners, after initial mismatching. Some of the side themes include the influence of American rock and roll on English society, the gulf between the senior analysts, who are regular army officers, and the conscripted other ranks, the work of Russian playwright Chekhov, and the appreciation of opulent theatre pipe organs. The unusual context — a military culture transplanted into a civil service style office environment — reflects Potter's own national service during the 1950s. While this piece has the form of a romantic comedy, unlike the less conventional works of Dennis Potter's middle period, it is not without graphic sex and violence, as well as Potter's characteristic flashes of dreamlike imagery. The centrepiece of this production is the surreal musical sequence set to the song In a Persian Market.
2.主演不会抽烟
内容密度充其量是个短片。神神叨叨，不知所谓。
浪费了那么多实力演员，编剧和导演是挺能幻想的，没什么逻辑。
焦俊艳的脸两颗星
这几年结婚风险，生娃焦虑，中年危机，各种影视剧整齐划一要向大家传递：和错的人在一起，步步都是杯具。
集合了多种禁忌的隐藏关卡型虐恋，做了不少铺垫，但还是少了真正意义上的呼应，形式上的情不自禁无法动人。
两星半吧，最好看的就是片尾林更新的彩蛋，为这个加半星。
做作！发神经！对演员的喜爱也不上升电影本身了。一边一副不要想歪的擦边球，一边还要强调不是女子高中生不行……有病，还是理直气壮的有病
啥问题都检查不出来 但是草莓医生一直说阿震还是有病 这医生简直就是有病。
如果最后真的成功了那我觉得观感会更好，现在这个结尾实在是搞不明白女心理师到底是要救赎他还是要再让他变回去。整部电影可以看到诱导犯罪的整个过程(虽然有点太极端了)，悬疑感也是很不错的，也很有迷惑性，从一开始给出几个莫名其妙的片段线索到后面慢慢变为合理的解释，有给人一种意外的感觉。

明明断在失足落下那里就是大团圆结局了，结尾没啥意思
古屋兔丸帝一之国还能理解，这部就完全理解不能了～
中年婚姻生活肯定会是空洞、乏味、无趣的，就像这部电影一样。有的地方没必要走神叨路线，陈湘琪再次在电影里复制了有如当年的“撞门”的表演神迹。镜头切换看不懂，很多无对白的镜头，导演刻意用这种镜头语言的表达来体现情感？看得好累。
考古死亡通道，爱犬召唤实验，凯瑟琳，柔道女，文学女，预知女，外加拥有同等技能的心理催眠前女友；一开始布局下大棋的气氛营造挺好，还以为会像《恶之教典》那样来个暴走大龙凤啥的，结果计划白痴不说，还来了个 body count zero 的寂寞，伤心:(
对中年人生的呐喊，但无论是危机还是出轨，都没有任何劲道。影帝影后各自在努力发挥却没有任何火花。

内容偏单薄一些，但靠演员和细节撑起来了一些。善于在语言止步的地方打开故事，沉默里都是戏，把人物处在忍一忍和不能忍的边缘状态表现了出来。
蛮无聊的，也不知道钱翔为啥越来越像钟孟宏。要拍冰冷的夫妻生活，不能借鉴下萨金塞夫吗？而且既然出现了秘书这个角色，为啥不花更多点笔墨？
太逗了哈哈哈哈哈这年头狗都懂数理化，没想到有一天会被一只狗的智商碾压，最意外的居然是“林狗”演的
