过去南非仍采取黑白种族隔离政策时，西方曾拍摄不少攻击此政策的影片，本片是其中佳作之一，改编自真人真事。

剧情透过白人新闻记者戴娜的十三岁女儿莫莉的眼光，观察当时南非社会不人道的特殊状况，以丰富而动人的感情场面来烘托出严肃的主题。

莫莉之父因从事反对运动躲避官方追捕而逃到国外，母亲则被南非政府施行“九十天拘禁法”，成为第一位因反对黑白隔离而遭拘禁的白人女子。她与家人长期分离，又遭逼供而不肯招认同志，一度企图服药自尽。莫莉与两个妹妹在外婆照顾下亦遭严密监控，形同家庭破碎。悲愤的莫莉经由母亲的解释与本身的遭遇，逐渐了解双亲为什么要从事反对运动。

1983年在阿根廷，民主政府替代了独裁政权，被关押五年之后的弗洛雷阿尔获得了自由。深夜里，走在回家的路上，弗洛雷阿尔感觉一切都变了，他的家庭，他的朋友们，他的国家。独自徘徊在街头的弗洛雷阿尔漫游在梦境与痛苦，生者与死者之间……在这个蓝色的朦胧的南方，带着碎片般的回忆，弗洛雷阿尔发现，对于一个政治犯来说重返原来的自由生活是多么的不容易。
这又是索拉纳斯一部反映社会现实的地道的阿根廷影片，片中不时响起戈耶内切演唱的探戈《南方》，一首讲叙希望和宽容的老歌，对于独裁统治刚刚结束，却仍处在伤痛和疑虑中的阿根廷人来说，这也许正是他们需要的。

别以为奥里维拉太公的东西总那么让人昏昏欲睡，其实他也有清醒的时候啊。。。尤其在早期的作品和这部影片里。
One of the great unseen films
When this film was screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival, the Festival's Director spoke, practically begging the audience to "stay for the last 15 minutes. It will be worth it." In fact, the entire film is "worth it." From start to finish, it is an honest and well-crafted surrealist film, indeed in the tradition of Bunuel. It's tone and assault on bourgeois society is reminiscent of "The Exterminating Angel". But while "Angel" gets bleaker and bleaker as it progresses, "Os Canibais" becomes funnier and funnier, until, in the last reel, it explodes in a frenzy of absurdism that would make a devout Dadaist giggle.
Should it ever resurface, British and American viewers will easily understand that "Os Canibais" is a film 20 years ahead of its time. It is not the Thatcher/Reagan pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps world that "Os Canibais" is lampooning, but the obscene world of the New Rich as personified by those who shop for shoes while one of the world's great cities drowns.

An American filmmaker travels to modern day Berlin to make a film based on a real-life incident from 1942 in which 13 Jewish prisoners from a concentration camp were promised freedom if they appeared in a German propaganda film. Unfortunately, the Germans lied. The psychological process undergone by the modern filmmaker while shooting the story provides the basis of this arty and challenging film.

In the 12th century, Buddhism was still a relatively new religion in Japan. At that time, one school (Shingon) offered extensive training in complex and very demanding practices which might eventually bring about spiritual purification and realization. Various Zen schools offered students a lengthy path, literally composed of a blank wall and unceasing meditation. Yet another school (Tendai) emphasized complex metaphysics and the study of philosophical systems. Basically, all of them were designed to cater to the few who were able to give up everything else in their lives and focus on liberation, such as scholars and noblemen. In this historical and biographical drama, this is the situation that the young Shinran (1173-1263) discovered when he began exploring Buddhism as an alternative to the violence and ceaseless civil wars that racked Japan at the time.
