Divided into three kingdoms -- Enfer (Hell), Purgatoire (Purgatory) and Paradis (Paradise) -- Notre Musique is an indictment of modern times. 頑皮老頭高達在新作挑釁如常,堅持如舊,對電影愛情如一,但從形式到內容,卻續有新境。比前作《愛之頌》更練達更擊中要害,是他近年最激的反思作品。三段結構的開篇〈地獄〉,戰地實錄與荷里活戰爭片交替,寓意彰甚:人類真會嗜戰。〈煉獄〉借薩拉熱窩做說書人,真實與虛構人物(包括高達自己)到此舉行文化圓桌會議,大家在寬恕迷宮中兜轉,唯有佇立已修復的莫斯塔古橋,才感一絲希望。高達最後領我們到〈天堂〉,人間竟有春色如許?但-有美軍駐守!全片最動人一幕:學生問 DV 可否打救電影?高達哀哀面向鏡頭,良久不語......

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
