花之夏 / 石森瑞穗 [HIGR-048]

　　火、水、风、土、和空气，生命五种核心元素曾经注入在一本书--命运之书。黑暗笼罩了大地，需要借助笔和书的力量，但这本书却失踪了，人们以为它永远消失了，但数百年后却又再度出现……

　　在二次世界大战后，即将结婚的花花公子开车到赌城作最后一次寻欢，不料邂逅了美丽的女歌手，并发现了她是赌城大亨巴格西的情妇。他该回到自己的规律生活中，还是继续追求这段冒险的爱情呢？名编剧家尼尔赛门由自己的爱情经历创作出本片，对男女之间的感情游戏有深刻的体会，所以剧情虽然简单，趣味性倒不弱。亚历克．鲍德温和金．贝辛格因拍摄本片而牵上红线，可见其演出投入。此外，金．贝辛格亲自主唱片中歌曲，颇有几分性感歌星的架势。

一对出现感情危机的情侣，奔赴荒山深处的度假屋，展开浪漫之旅。然而各怀心事的两人彼此设计，意外被卷入一场绑架与追杀。荒山夜逃、冰湖惊魂，在绝境的生死考验中，他们被迫携手同行，危机四伏间，爱与信任被重新唤醒，二人终于明白相守的意义。

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.
