由彼得•奧圖主演，英國導演羅傑•米契所執導的《維納斯》是一部觀眾會喜愛，影迷會由衷感謝的電影。
七十四歲的老演員莫瑞斯，曾在倫敦劇場界小有名氣，但現在他只能在電視劇裡接演在兒孫環繞的病床上安息的老人之類的小角色。如果情史是衡量人生的標準，那他曾有過輝煌的人生。現在，他的老年生活就在每日早晨與三、二同齡好友在咖啡廳「分享」各種顏色的藥丸以及檢視朋友在報紙訃文版面大小中度過。
莫瑞斯有老年男性很難倖免的攝護腺肥大的問題，醫院的手術切除了他早已嚴重萎縮的男性雄風，但是切除不了他在看到好友伊恩的姪孫女後再度勃起的性趣。但別誤會，這不是一部一樹梨花壓海棠的「蘿莉塔」故事，莫瑞斯這位剛從鄉下到都市來，不斷吃著洋芋片等零食，啤酒可以連喝四、五瓶的少女身上看到的與其說是「性」，不如說是他所懷念的有汁有味的生命與生活樂趣。
伊恩原本以為來與他同住的姪孫女潔西將是一位可以細心照護他的可愛小護士，還準備了小鈴鐺，想如貴族召喚女僕一樣對她隨搖隨到。孰料，桀驁不馴、脾氣不好、還會在檸檬紅茶裡加牛奶的姪孫女正是他不堪驚動的老年生活最大夢魘.... |

| 【電影觀點】《虎豹小霸王》：一個女性的凝視 |
| 如果我是個美國60年代的少女，我想我現在應該已經離家出走，搭上便車成了「花的小孩」，並追著搖滾歌星四處跑吧！這是個有點叛逆的青少年想法。但是如果我是個家庭主婦呢？我想我會跟現在的家庭主婦沒兩樣，只是除了迷戀費翔，我應該會迷戀勞勃瑞福（Robert Redford）。我相信只要是18歲以上的女性，都很難不愛上勞伯瑞福魅力四射的男子氣慨。雖然我不是生在那個年代，而且也只看過他這部成名片《虎豹小霸王》，不過──只要一部就夠讓一個女人上癮了。 |

| Ararat Ａ級控訴 |
Raffi: Were you serious about what you told him?
Ali: What?
Raffi: That you don't think it happened?
Ali: What, the genocide?
Raffi: Yeah.
Ali: Are yuo gnna shoot me or something? Look, I never heard about any of this stuff when I was growing up. You know? I did some research for the part. From what I read there were deportations and lots of people died. Armenians and Turks. It was World War 1.
Raffi: But Turkey wasn't at war with the Armenians. I mean, just like Germany wasn't at war with the Jews. They were citizens. They were expecting to be protected. That scene you just shot was based on an eyewitness account. Your character Jevdet Bey, the only reason they put him in Van was to carry out the complete extermination of the Armenian population in Van. There were telegrams, there were communicators...
Ali: Look I'm not saying that something didn't happen.
Raffi: Something...
Ali: Look, I was born here. So were you right?
Raffi: Yeah.
Ali: This is a new country. So let's just drop the fucking history and get on with it. Noone's gonna wreck your home. Noone's gonna destroy you family. Hmm? So let's go inside and uncork this thing and celebrate. Hmm?
Raffi: Do you know what Adolf Hitler told his military commanders to convince them that his plan would work? "Who remembers the extermination of the Armenians?"
Ali: And nobody did. Nobody does.
