David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
人没出去魂丢了 最后两段时空线索的交叉还蛮好看的 虽然也猜到了结局
挺有意思的电影 ，看上去有点血腥却用诙谐的手法去表现。PS：女主很有味道！
男主演技出神入化，像是从原著小说走出来的。
没读过茨威格的原著，看完有点懵逼，于是补了一些相关内容，于是给了4星。
挺有意思的片子，讽刺中满含欢笑，不得不说字幕组玩梗真有一套👍🏻
想尝一口伊朗猪肉，两口子猎人对比动物觅食捕杀那段很棒。
法国人真是什么都能想出来拍。肉铺夫妻意外撞死了一个素食主义者，他们把这个倒霉蛋分尸后竟然误吃了他的肉，然后他们发现素食主义者的肉超级香。于是，他们不仅自己吃，而且把肉放在肉铺出售。这种肉卖得特别好，大家慕名而来，很快就卖光了。为了继续吃到这种美味，夫妻俩开始捕杀素食主义者。俩人不仅因此吃到了美食，赚了很多钱，而且还增进了感情。挺好笑的恐怖喜剧，不仅黑了素食主义，而且好像还黑了穆斯林，因为他们把这种肉叫做“伊朗猪肉”。
法版的“人肉叉烧包”，这部是卖的肉，直接吃！电影偏黑色喜剧风，没啥恐怖情节，总体合格，不过编导的三观有些不正。
yue…伊朗猪真的那么好吃吗。翻译得好幽默😅
如果你做一件事情是为了娱乐，往往不能做到极致。如果是为了生存，那么可能会与极致有一面之缘。如果是为了物质的存活，或许能够接近极致，至少不会太远。如果是为了精神的存活，那么就是无法超越的极致。在这种情况下，天赋能够贡献的能量已经少到可怕。
为什么才7.4？这么好的电影，反战、反迫害，哪怕就当悬疑来看，也很优秀啊。比小说留下的空白还多。我也喜欢小说
6.8分。
救命我真的看饿了，拍得好香好好吃啊！本肉食爱好者想立刻去大炫烤猪五花！肉店夫妻档联手猎食素食者，全程搞笑，看的黄秋生版本狠狠地get了，感谢有趣的字幕组- ̗̀(๑ᵔ⌔ᵔ๑)
动物世界的蒙太奇很有意思。整体上欢乐恶趣味。
让主角杀的第一个人是个袭击者，第二个是个恬不知耻的涩男。
太欢乐了，素食者招惹谁了？看完含泪又多点了一份五花肉…
素食主义者根本想不到其实自己更美味，很绝妙。
法国版人肉叉烧包，有点观影不适，还好法式幽默拯救了这部片子，打了4星但不推荐观看
最后和朋友一起吃人肉，竟然吃到心率调节器，这对傻夫妻是蛮傻的，不会检查一下再带给朋友一起吃吗！不喜欢这种恐怖片，唯一精彩的地方就是分割尸体的镜头比较真实！
结尾完事也太快了吧
