UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
从心理剧转向惊悚片，做了类型的变化，这反过来又给侦探故事提供了导火索。主要元素是莱达在海滩发现的一个玩偶，这既是连接主角的对象，也是一个重要的隐喻。拥有娃娃后，丽达也变成了一种玩偶：能储存记忆却无能为力的躯壳。不断的计划和对不存在的生活公式将她带进死胡同。影片的问题是编导把一个人的心理创伤变成了一部关于女性如何受苦的电影，这就远没有前者深刻了。
原聲帶能不能加出CD，好想收ㄛ🥺
主题的女性困境是我喜欢的。但表现的就中规中矩。细节有但最后的和解真的不具说服力，普通。
有点boring，看一半看不下去了，一开始以为是悬疑片呢
我看完觉得跟《驾驶我的车》正好对应，一个西方一个东方，一个女性一个男性，一个文学一个戏剧，最后都跟自己和解。话说终于在片里认出了一堆熟人，还有女主的几件浴衣好看的。
整体太乱了... 乱到一切都没有说服力...
三十年前的Tw地景記憶… 新浪潮電影的'味道'，侯導監製，第一部杜比立體聲電影，善用定鏡+'畫外之音'敘事… 電視廣告可以提名一個配角… 感覺80～90年代的電影人們 雖然可能資源有限，但有相對寬廣的創作空間(對比今日 電影愈來愈流水線化/商品化)… 少年們莽撞衝動的銳氣，總想要衝破一些什麼，幫派/械鬥/嗑藥，模仿著'大人'模樣，最後也埋葬了自己… 比[浪流連]系列優秀不止一個[艋舺]… (22🐴奇幻影展_4k修復版)
叒一部恐婚恐育教育片，不同时空的母亲，相似的艰辛，全程焦虑不安，纯心理情绪推动，细腻而震撼。编导摄影主演全女性班底，非常优秀！
可能因为不在那个context下所以很难被打动，少年无脑冲动或许才是应然，出身中产反而习惯算计
飞机片。理解了Accented Cinema为什么说这部片要在大荧幕上看，Coleman的怼脸拍真是太多啦。以四部曲终篇为出发点，但是对于书的引用却极为含蓄，也算有点意思。
全片埋在無法預料的懸疑氣氛中，就連真相披露以後也還是令人不安，不是個愉快的觀影過程。
偷娃娃，清理娃娃时候的虫子着实有点让人不适！最后我们还是忠于自己吧。新年第一部不婚不育的电影，这女的是不是有什么精神疾病？？
30年後看，完整保留了1990s初台灣的婚喪禮俗和社會風貌。表現出了浪擲青春的江湖義氣，但是要仔細想一想才能認出人物理出大致劇情。配樂放到現在也很厲害，還有一段羅大佑&林强的《皇后大道東》live表演。2022.7.2，高清修復版，南港喜樂時代，贈票。
最好的是配乐，意象隐喻的手法有点太多导致很多隐喻我都没有太理解（可能单纯是因为我白痴…）
与台湾新浪潮美学一脉相承的黑帮片，一众实力派演员为两个青涩的小主演铺出了高可信度的叙事环境。电影的技巧很丰富，纵深调度，镜面，自然遮挡，声音引导，绵长的凝视镜头，POV，每场戏都做了充分独特的构思，也因此少了像侯孝贤一以贯之的自然流畅感，多了几分匠气。人物的情绪流露自然到让人惊讶，青春冲动，乡土情结，代际关系，以及充满叛逆的文化符号，没有特别集中的冲突和充满野心的宏大叙事，而是用轻弹的笔触勾勒出成人的污秽世界，裹挟其中、沉溺其中的少年终将被暴力吞噬。
明知道是歧路，但还是会向往 @2018-09-28 11:18:54
影像的陈词滥调无法掩盖女性体验的意义，但相较同类型的《从不很少有时总是》却显得过于断裂：感觉逐渐让位于肢体记忆，飘移的手持于是只能成为一种标准而丧失了自由投注的力量
什么玩意！继驾驶我的车以后又一个无病呻吟和故弄玄虚
非常netflix，各种机巧外露，迫不及待，没有大师相。中老年知识女性的情欲拍得我一点共鸣都没有，看着非常尴尬。唯一能共情的是养儿的心灵创伤部分。失望。
30 年后 颜正国坐完牢当了导演 《少年吔》已杀青
