近期，一部名为《Churails》的巴基斯坦网剧经历了被禁播，又在观众的愤怒下，重新上线的过程。这部10集的连续剧讲述了4个不同背景的女人，因为父权制的不公而走到一起，成立了一个秘密侦探机构“Churails”（女巫）的故事。 四名女主角，一个是曾为律师的上流社会家庭主妇，一个是势利的活动策划人，一个是十几岁的拳击手，一个是刚出狱的杀人犯。她们开了一家时装精品店，作为秘密侦探机构的幌子。这份侦探工作，本是为了帮助怀疑丈夫不忠的女性找到证据，但随着情节的发展，它触及了一些不容忽视的议题，如童婚、骚扰、虐待、强迫婚姻、种族主义、阶级不平等、同性恋等等。从威胁对妻子家暴的丈夫，到解救陷入强迫婚姻中的Churails成员，面纱反而成了她们执行任务时隐藏身份的重要掩护。 该剧在巴基斯坦和印度都获得了热烈的反响。许多人对该剧大加赞赏，说它开辟了新天地，打破了陈规...。One day, thinking that it will make your wife and friends smile, you shave off the moustache that you have had for the last ten years. No one notices or, even worse, everyone pretends not to notice and your smile soon fades. Before being wiped off your face. You insist but people tell you that you've never had a moustache. Are you going mad? Are people trying to make you think you are? Or has something in the world's order gone awry at your expense? Adapting his own 1986 novel, Emmanuel Carrère – whose books Class Trip and The Adversary became Cannes Competition titles by Claude Miller and Nicole Garcia, respectively – provides a feast of sustained tension as the man's wife and his closest friends deny that he ever had a moustache. Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained. The film won the Label Europa Cinemas Prize at Directors' Fortnight in Cannes. 一天，你滿心以為給妻子和朋友開個玩笑，把蓄了十年的鬍子刮掉。但可惜完全被人忽視了，或更可悲的是每個人都假裝看不到，很快，你得意的笑容不見了，笑臉再也掛不住。你堅持，但所有人都跟你說你從未蓄過鬍子。莫非你神經錯亂？是否所有人都想令你以為自己瘋掉了？又或者，是因為你的緣故而搞亂了世界的某種秩序？ 本片是導演艾曼雷．卡雷爾改編自他自己一九八六年出版的小說。他的另外兩本小說《 Class Trip 》及《 The Adversary 》曾分別被葛羅特．米勒及妮歌．加西亞兩位導演改編成電影並先後成為康城影展的參選影片。在本片中，因為男人的妻子和老友否認他曾經蓄鬍子而令整個故事維持在緊張的氣氛中。 喜歡結局完整的觀眾可能會感到不高興，但欣賞引人入勝的故事和精湛演技的觀眾則會看得津津有味。本片在康城影展的導演雙週中奪得歐洲電影標籤大獎。 Source: The 34th French Cinepanorama, Hong Kong。
