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.
生而为妖，缺偏要人间走一遭，先做女儿身，又当男儿郎，酸甜苦辣都尝遍，让一个妖把人做了个明明白白。好看！
女巫换装秀以及欧洲原野风光摄影，外加一点看似高级，内核却空洞的女性主义，以及克尔凯郭尔的存在主义。一言以蔽之，不如咱的《聊斋》。
在宏大历史和难以直面的社会现实中寻找一种表达方式，来关照同性情感的发展与蔓延，是电影最大的亮点。导演对于主角的感情表达是克制的，但是确是最真实的。
故事很扎实，男主被小卷毛掰弯的过程很有意思，只是俩人那啥啥啥进入正题也太快了哈哈哈哈哈～～最后，我们为生活在这个开放的时代而感到幸运…
母亲节最佳的一首电影诗。
空洞无聊，Terence Malick copycat
虽然知道是真事改编的，但是有可能是因为真事改编的吧，张力有点不太够，单整个电影的氛围感很好，男二在审讯室的眼神很吸引人。
让你留恋不放手的是什么
可能是甜剧看多了，如果结尾能来个像《跆拳道》一样的结尾就给5星了，但总体还是很不错滴🌞
少有的 没有很多BGM的电影 胶片的颗粒感 若有似无的白噪音 复古的色调 男主压抑却又按捺不住的那颗心 骗了所有人 唯独骗不了自己
很不错的男同毛片（波兰语，听起来和俄语很像，算是毛片吧），片中男主也观看了男同毛片，女主比较美。80年代+波兰+男同=绝望
固定机位好多
昏黄的色调不会让我感到很压抑，反而使我感到一种油画般的质感。总体有点流水账，但也不差
这几年看过的最好的同影，导演挺牛b的。片子能拍成这样，绝对是有前途的一流导演，有成为大师的潜质。对这个导演的其他作品都感兴趣了。 看了几遍以后发现越看越好看。波兰导演是不是都是学院派的师傅教出来的，这电影简直可以成为教科书了。看了导演的其他作品，虽然风格和节奏不一样，但是同样完成度超级高。那么年轻那么优秀的导演，以后会继续关注导演的新作。ps:貌似导演第一次拍床戏就是这部，这也太牛了
恐怖又成了噱头，这显然是部文艺片。起初昏昏沉沉，观感逐步上升，对烦人的台词和晃悠悠的镜头也适应了些。艺术表达上小有成效，例如一开始猫的视角就很有意思。主要就是借女巫传说，讲了一个女孩如何重新做人，学会“爱”的故事。之前没看过这类扒皮变身的电影，可给个好评，最后落点还是真爱无敌，俗套又感人。
哪里有压迫，哪里就有反抗
不是说它不好看，但是每一个女性通过各种换皮来实现成长的故事为毛最后都要归结到生孩子。要说《奥兰多》这种是92年拍的也就算了，都30年过去了你们对女性人生的体会还最后落在繁殖上？？？
看看小国家怎么拍电影的！成本小，但是剧本好，演技好！寓意深刻！
我一度以为，这是在讲不通状态的母子（女）关系，可能也有，但多半是我想多了。
怪诞，看似是一个女巫的故事，其实是一个人类自我探索生命意义的过程
