necrophilia
Y
戀屍癖
D
–noun
Psychiatry. an erotic attraction to corpses.
The artist is apparently going mad. He sits up night after night, staring into his candle, speaking with his wife of his strange dreams (or are they memories?). Bergman penetrates the man's subconscious to [extract] a series of bizarre nightmares and imaginations. He slips these hallucinations back and forth across the line of reality, so that occasionally what seems to be a dream becomes gruesomely real. This is the case with the most powerful image in the film, an act of necrophilia that becomes a practical joke.
。死亡

"We have some serious work to do here; we're trying to resuscitate this franchise from the fucking cellar... so just shove off."

epigram
a short poem or statement
The personal and social conflicts among these characters ultimately result in tragedy for Bast and disgrace for Wilcox, but the film's wider theme remains the need, in the words of the novel's famous [epigram], to "only connect" with other people, despite boundaries of gender, class, or petty grievance.
epilogue
at the end of a literary piece
Although this film is often credit with being the first major film to include "character epilogues" stating what happened to each person after the events of the film, this was actually done prior to this film, two years earlier in The French Connection (1971).
elegy

eulogy

threnody
dirge
James Mason trying to hide his joy as he marches, in time to a [military] dirge, to view the [mortal] remains of his unloved wife.

Though Richard Linklater and Kevin Smith may get most of the [credit] for giving birth to the downwardly-mobile post-adolescent [talkfests] of the '90s independent film boom, writer/director Whit Stillman's [auspicious] debut served to establish the other end of the [spectrum].
auspice
He turns to the [auspices] of the eccentric Mr. Bridger (Noël Coward in his last film role), a suave, [regal], [in]carcerated English crime boss with a peculiar fascination with the Queen.
Black wrote the screenplay for Ron Howard and Brian Grazer at Imagine Entertainment under the auspices of a deal with Universal, but that studio put the film into turnaround.
In an unusual move that pays off handsomely, Milgard has chosen to shoot this low-key pic in 35mm anamorphic widescreen, under the auspices of cinematographer Tim Orr, best known for his work on David Gordon Green's films.
Burt Lancaster, who'd previously established himself as a hero-victim in a series of films noirs made [under] the auspices of Universal and as a costume hero in a pair of Warner Bros. period adventure films (The Flame and the Arrow, The Crimson Pirate), transformed himself into the quintessential macho leading man with his performance.
。先知

prognosis
While the prognosis for the Robocop remake is still uncertain, this should put to bed rumors that director Darren Aronofsky had [qualms] about going ahead with the film because MGM wanted it to be in 3D.【醫】預後
In a different interview with The Playlist Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was set to play the film's lead role, [echoed] Renner's prognosis.

presage n. v.
a presentiment or foreboding
Though [criminally] overlooked in their own [lifetime], Galaxie 500 later emerged as one of the pivotal underground groups of the post-punk era; dreamy and enigmatic, their minimalist dirges [presaged] the rise of both the shoegazer and slowcore movements of the 1990s.

Indeed, the foreboding music suggests some very serious consequences up ahead for Keith, Sophie, and their wildly inappropriate connection.
bode
to portend, to be an omen of
"Valkyrie" could bode [well] for UA
omen
good or bad
portend
Result is a [perceptive] character drama both delicate and tragic. Lack of star [wattage] or a high-concept [hook] may keep distribs at bay, though [warm] festival buzz and [supportive] reviews could portend specialized release.
portent
specific event, usually a misfortune
portents of [war].
an occurrence of [dire] portent. (significance)
premonition
I had no premonitions, although I suppose I should have had. It all seemed so natural and so innocent.
bespeak
Rose's petulant theatrics don't bespeak the [perils] of boundary-free parenting so much as a mental disorder, or a coarse [screenplay]
to bespeak a [seat] in a theater.
[This] bespeaks a kindly heart.
Both the razor-sharp focus on the subject matter and the strong filmmaking discipline bespeak a [tenacious] commitment to the project.
