无言以对2011

眼下，年近中年的瑞恩（戴恩-库克饰）和凯特（伊丽莎白-米歇尔饰）的婚姻也已然步入困难的境地，两人虽不约而同地想努力维系这看上去已然末尾不安的一切，并试图经过“怀孕生子”这一最传统的手腕来弥合这个二人之家的缝隙。但是，事实并不像两人思索的那般复杂。两个在感情上已然逐渐疏远的人，就像是生疏人普通在各自的生活轨迹上，只是在方式上分享着一个家同一个房子罢了。瑞恩，一个从小就听着祖父母口中的浪漫故事长大的男人，在历经生长后的他却关于爱情的信任微乎其微。由于，儿时父亲的离家出走以及对母亲情感与肉体的不忠，让他恨透了这一双父母带给自己的肉体教诲甚至深深影响。也直接招致了他自己内心关于家庭和妻子甚至爱情与人生的信心……塔拉（阿雅-沃尔克曼饰），一个过于自信的独身女人也就此介入了瑞恩的生活里来。戏剧性的是，瑞恩虽是个团体生活上的失败者，但其在职业上的强项却是很不错的治疗专家。他的病人艾利格拉（凯莉-霍克饰）正在依托他的专业治疗，从自己窘迫的生活与任务中缓慢复苏过去。与此同时，瑞恩的妻子凯特正养精蓄锐并想方设法担负起重组家庭的重担。生孩子虽不是一天两天的事，身为律师的凯特却在好友弗兰基（朱莉-本茨饰）的协助下，竭力将一切做好……幕后花絮作为一部规范的独立制造电影，影片以看似真实的视角与叙事方式，将一个当今社会较为普遍的家庭伦理效果铺陈出来：不幸的生长阅历，难以自治的生活轨迹，让一个外表成熟内心却充溢灰暗角落的男人，在面临人生与家庭中诸多难题与关卡时，做出的种种选择以及付出的种种努力。导演马修-李欧特维勒，一个异样特性鲜明的独立电影人。从编剧到导演，制片到演员，再从剪辑到导演助力，简直一切电影行业里的职位都逐一体验和尝试过。而他参与制造的数量并非单一的电影作品中，也有《逆流而行》、《超级英雄》和《每一天》这样的准精品。尤其是2008年之后，马修表现得异常生动，简直每年都有新作问世。而这部《无以报答》也是其时隔3年后再执导筒的新作。从目前曝光的唯逐一款预告片来看，电影从叙事结构到剪辑技巧上都还令人满意，其融汇之中的些许惊悚元素亦能经过看似平淡的家庭琐事与主人公的情感变故中得以展现，让人小有等候！In 2001, Matthew Leutwyler co-founded the L.A. based production company Ambush Entertainment with partner Miranda Bailey with the philosophy of producing a wide range of original and diverse feature films.
