一位小说家发现自己笔下的恐怖故事一一成真，她返回故乡，面对自己写作灵感的源头：那些来自过往的恶魔。。1999年，非洲塞拉利昂深陷内战的战乱纷飞之中。普普通通的渔民索罗蒙（迪杰蒙·豪索）被迫为一家钻石矿厂工作，一次偶然机会，在山涧河流中清洗淘到的石头时，索罗蒙发现了一颗精美的石头，那是一颗世上少有的粉红钻石，而它不仅能帮助自己的家庭，也能解救成为难民的妻女，挽救被抓去当童兵的最心爱的儿子迪亚。因此，虽然面对着死亡的危险，索罗蒙还是不顾一切地藏起了钻石。
丹尼（莱奥纳多·迪卡普里奥）是个靠非法交易钻石和武器为生的贩子，因为走私而被关进监狱的他无意得知了索罗蒙的钻石，他清楚那样稀有的钻石价值连城，完全能助他逃离非洲，逃出暴力腐败的罪恶圈。在一个调查钻石工业复杂黑幕的美国理想主义女记者曼迪（珍妮弗·康纳莉）的帮助下，三人开始了穿越战乱区域的长途逃亡......。One day, thinking that it will make your wife and friends smile, you shave off the moustache that you have had for the last ten years. No one notices or, even worse, everyone pretends not to notice and your smile soon fades.
Before being wiped off your face. You insist but people tell you that you've never had a moustache. Are you going mad? Are people trying to make you think you are? Or has something in the world's order gone awry at your expense?
Adapting his own 1986 novel, Emmanuel Carrère – whose books Class Trip and The Adversary became Cannes Competition titles by Claude Miller and Nicole Garcia, respectively – provides a feast of sustained tension as the man's wife and his closest friends deny that he ever had a moustache. Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained. The film won the Label Europa Cinemas Prize at Directors' Fortnight in
Cannes.
一天，你滿心以為給妻子和朋友開個玩笑，把蓄了十年的鬍子刮掉。但可惜完全被人忽視了，或更可悲的是每個人都假裝看不到，很快，你得意的笑容不見了，笑臉再也掛不住。你堅持，但所有人都跟你說你從未蓄過鬍子。莫非你神經錯亂？是否所有人都想令你以為自己瘋掉了？又或者，是因為你的緣故而搞亂了世界的某種秩序？
本片是導演艾曼雷．卡雷爾改編自他自己一九八六年出版的小說。他的另外兩本小說《 Class Trip 》及《 The Adversary 》曾分別被葛羅特．米勒及妮歌．加西亞兩位導演改編成電影並先後成為康城影展的參選影片。在本片中，因為男人的妻子和老友否認他曾經蓄鬍子而令整個故事維持在緊張的氣氛中。
喜歡結局完整的觀眾可能會感到不高興，但欣賞引人入勝的故事和精湛演技的觀眾則會看得津津有味。本片在康城影展的導演雙週中奪得歐洲電影標籤大獎。
