After the tremendous popular success of the
Fantômas novels, both of the major French
film studios — Pathé and Gaumont —
vied for the rights to produce films based
on the series. Gaumont won, and from
April 1913 to May 1914 Louis Feuillade
directed five Fantômas films which critic
David Thomson has described as "the first
great movie experience."。影片讲述了三段故事,三个人生的爱恨情仇。滚滚红尘,欲望都市,每天都上演着男欢女爱,悲欢离合。程序员谢朗风流倜傥,泡上澳门黑社会大佬的掌上明珠霍安娜;安娜美艳、单纯、蛮横,却被谢朗的半真半假的谎言打动,于是泡妞变成被泡,二人信誓旦旦永不相负。然而一夜欢愉之后,大佬带走了爱女,留给谢朗的只是无尽的惆怅。。
