本片改编自同名漫画，讲述了沉迷游戏、巧克力和猫、毫无恋爱兴趣的高中生星野杏子（上白石萌歌 饰），被魔法使莉莉强行卷入“一个月内必须恋爱”的任务中。为拯救因恋爱能量枯竭而濒临崩溃的魔法界，莉莉夺走杏子的快乐来源，并制造一连串浪漫陷阱，试图让她坠入爱河：酷帅转学生香月司（高桥恭平 饰）、天然幼驯染速水纯太（木村柾哉 饰）、傲娇王子小金井圣（中岛飒太 饰）轮番登场，还出现了强制同居、班级重编等浪漫套路。面对一波波胸动心跳的攻势，杏子能否坚持自我、恢复平静生活？“我是浪漫杀手——谁来都放倒！”

 以《返家十万里》扬名的导演卡罗尔·巴拉德一鸣惊人之作。以戏剧化的抒情风格描述一名男孩在船难中跟黑神驹同时漂流到荒岛上，人与马建立了两位一体的非凡感情。后来他们获救重回人类社会，巧遇老牌马术教练，乃被训练成出色的赛马和小小年纪的骑师，在一次比赛中获得冠军。全片的摄影极为优美动人，尤其当时的童星凯利·里诺在沙滩上跟黑神驹玩耍的场面，在视听效果上呈现出大自然之美的极至。米基·鲁尼饰演的驯马师在片中也占有重要地位，一老一少和马之间的三角互动关系爆发出感人的火花，堪称同类影片中的一流代表作。

　　Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.　　Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?　　n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.　　What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.　　On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.　　One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.　　Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
