David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
Charlotte 好美 大概因为成熟女人的那种温柔吧 长卷发也是氛围感加分 整体的氛围感超好
78/100 #EFM# 有一些“低清私影像”，将档案片段巧妙地缝在其中，也总有一些时间上的跳转。片刻细腻，总能找到轻盈又深沉的忧郁情绪。人们不缺爱，但从不会停留。仿佛唤起了过去的巴黎的一段时光。
“我一开始想象的生活并不是这样的，但我们还是尽力去热爱它了，对吗？”
家庭里的每个人都有自己的小世界与能量，但彼此的心又是能够保持开放与连接的
巴黎真是电影里永恒的文艺之都，每个导演都能在它身上汲取别样的灵感。这不是侯麦和戈达尔的巴黎，更不是雅克塔蒂和卡拉克斯的巴黎，这是一群提着易碎灯笼的夜旅人，在黑暗中拥抱着彼此孤独的巴黎。电影的后劲很大，如平淡生活中默默积蓄的力量。我想导演一定是个温柔的人，不然拍不出如此温柔的电影。
我坐上巴士 陪心爱的女孩追梦
当旅途随故人散去，喧嚣白夜不再拥有私密慰藉的契机，烙印在瞬间的欢愉与孤独总是会在未来的情景中留下线索，成为不愿闯入的经验永远根植在下一段旅程的开场，照映着这片时空存在的绚烂……
音乐好好听，几位主角的嗓音好可爱啊，想学法语的同学可以来“听听”，看看美丽的城市风物，找找心动的感觉～一部看上去“与世无争”的主竞赛电影，有轻盈温柔的怀旧质感，氛围舒适，十分难得。72.Berlinale
生活的下一页总是未知的，但我们仍要翻开下一页，而有一种真挚的东西是永存的，时间无法使它停止。塞纳河畔的夜色，化成极尽温柔的抚慰，是即使受伤也要自由追寻的灵魂。
独自离婚带娃，过乳腺癌切除手术，前夫拒付孩子抚养费——家庭主妇被迫重新进入社会工作，拿着微薄的薪水。貌似体面的中产却也只是期待爱情的平凡人，笨拙亦真诚地应对生活的艰难。电影的节奏掌握得非常好，沉郁的现实底色上漂浮着轻盈乐观的感性与情绪。夜晚的塞纳河，清晨的高层建筑，导演去掉了巴黎那种傲慢，轻浮和mean的装饰，仿佛在顶层阳台俯瞰夜晚城市一刻身边奏响的舒适婉转的夜曲。

很暖心的片子，借电台之名温柔的看待着由几个小人物所折射出的更多人的困境，最后那段关于夜旅人的解说特别好，太温柔了。
今早在淅沥的雨声中看完的。豆瓣统计我看过127部法国电影，但没有一部和它一样。尤其是在现今的2022年，竟然还能看到如此赤诚的电影，真的让人意想不到，如获至宝！
看完心里有点难受，每个人都在挣扎着活着，体验一点小小的甜头，就仿佛活着是受罚，一点点的希望和温暖足以让人不绝望至极。甘斯布真美啊，怎么会有人这么美，苍薄脆弱的美。
这是我的第50部小夏，一路看着她从小萝莉被岁月刻画成了憔悴绝美的母亲。跟Béart的对手戏不多，却极精彩。是个平凡的生命片段，如何经历摧残又幸存下来，因为和熟悉的及陌生的人们相互扶持。时代感极强的BGM、France Inter、夜间广播，他们甚至提到了Lenoir大叔，亲切得要命。
不知道是缅怀时间还是巴黎的夜如始自终，与甘斯布仿佛共享过同一个巴黎夜，同一种忧郁日复一日地淌过塞纳河，覆盖了街道，在铁塔午夜最后一次闪灯的时候画下句号。只有铁塔的灯光是平等的，不论是16区摇着红酒的old money，还是战神广场上抽廉价烟的流浪汉，那时那刻，看到灯光的所有夜旅人都获得过短暂的幸福。我也害怕我触碰过的一切被我毁掉，害怕幸福的人都是可怜的胆小鬼，一边渴望着幸福，一边亲手毁掉。
这就是我最喜欢的电影类型，舒缓的节奏，不需要强烈的戏剧冲突推动情节开展，人物关系松弛温情有爱，配乐和布景审美在线，可以看上一天一夜。No. 1700!
这部电影真温柔啊，温柔地甚至有些软弱，细声细气地说，“这就是人生”吧！
看这种家庭剧情片我的眼泪就不会缺席，后面四个人围抱在一起时，音乐欢快，但我却狂掉眼泪。妈妈重返社会，在工作中成长；被人善良对待，她也将爱意回报出去；受过伤害，依旧能勇敢接受新的约会。妈妈是好温柔的人呀！小女孩则有种忧郁和天真混合的美，为了保持彼此间纯粹的感情，选择告别这段温馨的日子，电影院常客的她最终找到了与电影有关的工作。她和儿子的关系会有些像《Normal people》吧。“有一种温暖的东西，是永存的”，好想遇到温暖的人和事，虽然现在是夏天。晚安晚安，夜旅人。
