UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
Antonio Capuano与法比奥的那段对话，生动地阐释了什么叫做自我致敬。
NO.10 如果满分是5分，我给这个电影打一百分。整部电影就是在说一句话， 「 我对现实失望了，希望电影能给我们创造一个不一样的世界。」
《绝美之城》导演索伦蒂诺献给那不勒斯的一首赞歌，这座南意大利城市精美建筑与蔚蓝大海构建出如梦如幻的景致，然而又充满着混乱与世俗夹杂的味道，不断演绎着人生大喜大悲的戏剧，让人在短短时间内在天堂与地狱之间蹦极。影片的故事混合着导演自己的经历，有着丰富细节的家族故事，给影片增色不少。马拉多纳像个影子似的，存在于影片之中。他以上帝之手挽救了男主角，随着生活的变故及随之而来的成长，他也淡出画面之外。
索伦蒂诺的私电影，原本以为会是马拉多纳的记录片来着www
我就这样跟着年轻的Sorrentino dwf了四次💗
上帝之手并非万能之手， 通过难以言喻的悲伤，一位少年最终成为一名男人
3.5 难得不让人反感的男性气质影片，或许成长才是大家共同的泪腺
总去拿过去的导演来比较索伦蒂诺太欺负人了
天性的钝感面对瞬间崩塌的情感废墟，既无法排解消化，更不能凭空消失，只能够堆积在记忆深处，孤僻的少年有了悲伤的理由，也正是对这一段记忆的提取和调用，让索伦蒂诺的电影拥有无与伦比的时间感，情感可以在生命的两头任意折返，却不停留，而城市充沛富丽的美学氛围，提供了不可多得的艺术训练，生活状态下随时随地展现的意味，让索伦蒂诺的镜头带有自然流淌的哲学浸染。这段成长故事是真诚的，也是虚构的，如同博尔赫斯的诗歌，“无数哲学和历史的园地，记忆那阴森的金色光泽，深夜里飘散着的素馨香气。那一切全都失去了意义。你默默地搜寻着的诗句、你梦里的涛涌或如锦夜色中，忘却了黎明的星辰都救不了你。你所关注的只是一个女人，那女人与别人一样，却又迥异。”致自己，致那忧伤的人。
费里尼的阿玛珂德，锡兰的野梨树，阿方索卡隆的罗马，索伦蒂诺的那不勒斯，Nostalgia，轻轻地念出“那是ta家啊～”
「马拉多纳帮那不勒斯拿到了联赛冠军，可我不知道我还能不能快乐了。」
那不勒斯的日与夜，那不勒斯的海与城，人民的生活、讨论的话题，发生的故事，从一个小男孩的成长故事串起，美好的事物总是令人向往，期待下一次去意大利时可以去那不勒斯一探究竟。
索伦蒂诺足够真诚，用饱满的情感讲述了自己的青春的痛苦和欲望。相比之下，肯尼斯布拉纳应该赶紧把《贝尔法斯特》打包扔进垃圾桶，假装自己从没拍过。
海邊藍色的那不勒斯，遼闊而迷離，伴隨著馬拉多納的到來，略微岣嶁的青澀少年，和一大家老小們歡快而悠閒的生活著，各種雞毛蒜皮的小事，性感的小姨，出軌的父親，活潑的母親，惡作劇的歡樂，似乎就這樣一直過著，等待馬拉多納將會帶來的冠軍，然而，一場變故奪去了少年的父母，也是因為他要看馬拉多納現場而躲過劫難，瞬間的長大，終於讓少年明白了自己的方向，上帝之手，指引他走向未來導演的夢想…
Sorrentino的影像从来都是难以言喻的，在这里，他用自己的坦诚剖析过度充盈的城市背后的空洞、和那些琐碎生活中的情感余波。他用自得且冷静的语气叙述个人、城市、时代的链接，用风光去遮蔽那些属于私人的滑稽、失序、辛辣和活泼。在一种怀念的是视角下，那些属于1980年代Napoli的早已散失的人文精神被再次找回，充填Fabietto的周遭生活中的空缺，它们是绝美的、浪漫的、完整的、真实的，它们被观察、互动，最后再随着前往罗马的列车驶回我们的回忆里。
我觉得这部电影比性冷淡风的《驾驶我的车》好多了，应该获得奥斯卡最佳国际电影。
众人的脸庞，身边的故事，夏日的城市……
少年对世界的好奇、困惑、憧憬，生命中突如其来的悲伤，前路的抉择与惆怅；同为对过往岁月的缅怀，同样的自传性质，比故弄玄虚的《罗马》自然太多了。
记忆的幽远和神秘，梦幻的轻盈与俨然，导演将二者混淆，精巧构思出一场触及心灵深处的私人化影像表达。致敬加缅怀，不论是费里尼、马拉多纳，还是父母亲友，大家都通过电影又活过来一次。创作者本人化身主人公，流连于一次次往事中，既置身其中，又游离事外，宛如幻影般徜徉。不禁让人想起《阿玛珂德》，同样是意大利，同样是难舍的旧日时光，同样是离奇的情节，怪诞的行径。费里尼对电影，对后世的影响：正在他缺席之时，彰显他伟大之处。
1984年夏天，马拉多纳创纪录转会意甲吊车尾的那不勒斯，消息发布前一晚主人公法比奥父母关系破裂，电影故事由喜转悲；1986年夏天墨西哥世界杯马拉多纳步入巅峰，上帝之手击退了英格兰，那不勒斯狂欢之余法比奥父母因故离世，法比奥也完成了成人礼；1987年夏天，马拉多纳率领那不勒斯获得队史上第一个意甲冠军，而法比奥则在夺冠的同一天选择离开那不勒斯。这是索伦蒂诺写给那不勒斯的情书，写给他心底的天堂与罪恶之城。
