剧情简介
Robert Tucker, a sorrowful, solitary man, given to bouts of weeping, tries to balance his life caring for his aging mother, his Catholicism, his homosexuality, and his dull job. One night, after his mother has gone to bed, he dons leather and heads for a private club. He telephones a tattoo artist with a special request. He goes to confession, accusing himself of despairing. He cries out during a nightmare, waking his mother. "You're a good boy," she's told him. He prays the Stations of the Cross, and he lives out his own sorrowful mysteries.
观众心声
以远离港口的轮船开始（仿佛在说一辈子的漂泊不定），镜头推近主角哭泣的脸庞——中间插入与母亲的回忆镜头——最后再满满回到港口处。下一幕缓慢的摇摄调度，只为简短的两句对话——再次插入回忆镜头，钟表走秒声与母亲的面孔共存，让人感受到时间的存在。特伦斯·戴维斯在三部曲的第二部，进行了声画不同步的探索：画面为主角在教堂的弥撒，声音为主角想进行私处的纹身，仿佛忏悔室面对未知者的一次忏悔，而后一次的忏悔声伴随的画面为同性之爱——也以此作为全片的表达。同时梦境作为一个剧情点，却也可以不明确其真实性：可以作为整晚经历后入梦的噩梦（梦见自己的死亡），也可将整晚经历作为一个梦，作为潜意识的书写。
貌似特伦斯·戴维斯早期很倾向男同啊，宗教的禁锢、潜伏的死亡和汗淋淋的欲望在梦境里纷呈并惊醒；平移长镜风格尽显，时间的断裂与延续，母子关系的探讨。
声画关系。开场很美，海鸥，离岸的船，倒牛奶的手，酣睡的老母亲，you are a good boy，无法自制的哭泣。演员太棒了，看着他的眼神，就想替上帝宽恕他的一切。
Pray for wanderer, pray for me. Pray for sinner, pray for me. 神圣的罪恶带来了无尽的恐惧，忏悔的谎言得不到终极的救赎。一面在神父前欲言又止，一面是紧抓臀部的画面，言辞如此，心灵那般，声画分离出人与罪人。
+ 有关声画的思考更进一层，可惜有些地方处理得不够好，刻意了。
