When Michel gets the life-sized sex doll he ordered, shipped directly from Japan, he is only intrigued by it at first. Then the silent unresponsiveness of the thing begins to haunt him, and he finds himself reacting to it as if it were an equally unresponsive living woman. As time passes, more and more of his life is spent trying to satisfy or placate its relentless silence, and he goes somewhat mad. He dresses the doll and takes it with him wherever he goes. When his usually very tolerant wife discovers what is going on, her jealousy knows no bounds and she attempts to imitate this threatening love-object. The light-hearted quality of this addle-pated fantasy darkens quickly when various neighborhood men attempt to put the doll to its originally intended use.

La escopeta nacional

other title: 国家的枪 / La escopeta nacional
Few sacred cows go un-gored in this satirical Spanish movie. In Spain, as in England, instead of getting together over a round of golf, it is customary for the power elite to gather at a country estate for a long weekend of "hunting," which basically consists of standing in one spot shooting at game which is being driven toward the hunters. Between shots, the elite converse. In the story, a Catalan businessman pays an impoverished nobleman for the use of his country estate and its game. He is hosting this party to win the goodwill of a group of investors whom he hopes will back one of his schemes. Sprinkled among the businessmen are some more twisted types, every one of them a genuine aristocrat or the member of some government or other -- even a dictator in exile from his Latin American country. A powerful but disapproving priest surveys the scene with outspoken scorn. When the businessman learns that he has backed the wrong horse, and that a new government is being formed, he scrambles to curry favor with those few of his guests who are part of the next group to come to power.

本片改编自1933年发生在西班牙的一桩轰动一时的真实事件。欧洲女权主义运动先驱Aurora Rodríguez Carballeira(出生于1879年)因失望或者说理念不和,在绝望中谋杀了她视为匠心之作的,天赋异禀(8岁时就会说6种语言),年仅18岁的亲生女儿Hildegart(在母亲的熏陶和培养下并且继承了父母优秀的遗传基因的Hildegart在语言,文学,法律和哲学方面均造诣非凡。13岁就被著名的马德里大学附属法律学校录取,在校期间她还给哲学专业的学生上过课。Hildegart短暂一生里最引人注目的作为是担任西班牙社会主义工人党的领导以及观念超前的欧洲性改革运动的发起人(恰恰是后者高调的自由派女权主义理念同其母的保守的激进派思维产生了剧烈的冲突,部分导致了悲剧的发生!))。最终Aurora被判刑26年,1955年老死于一家马德里的精神病院。
