视频简介
Double agent Picasso Trigger is assassinated in Paris by double-crossing bad guy Miguel Ortiz. Then Ortiz begins eliminating agents of The Agency who were involved in his brother's death. The Agency (belatedly) springs into action to stop Ortiz' heinous activities. The usual gunplay, romance, and nifty toys with bombs ensue.。A young Indian newlywed finds his independent wife troublesome and seeks help and advice from his overbearing mother, a supposedly worldly wise friend, an American seeker of enlightenment and a swami.。这是史诗片巨匠冈斯的早期作品，原版长达九个小时。 影片讲述一个类似现在电视肥皂剧的故事：铁路工程师从一次车祸中救回一个女孩，把她当作女儿来领养。不料他自己和儿子都对女孩产生好感。为了不让儿子占有她，遂把女孩嫁给了一个富人。但儿子和养女之间有着压制不住的爱情。儿子跟她丈夫发生争执，不幸死亡。老人把儿子的死归咎于养女，不愿再见到她。后来他眼睛瞎了，养女偷偷回来照料他，直至为他送终。 影片的革命性表现在如下方面：开场的火车事故蒙太奇采用快速剪辑，极具震撼力；平庸的剧情中增加了大量文学典故，丰富了内涵；摄影和剪辑均具有一定的形式感，如镜头的节奏跟音乐相吻合，画面中的机器被用作现代化的象征等，开启了“纯电影”的先河。片名指命运的轮回、欲望的轮回，由车轮形象来暗示。。
