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.
一群不出名的导演和演员，完成了一部同样不知名、但完成度意外很高的电影。文艺片的空镜头、复古的乡村色调、在线的逻辑剧情、以及最后的悬念和反转，如果稍加包装，换成大牌明星和更具冲击力的视觉效果，说不定会火……但现在这状态，不正和影片的片名以及剧中的女主角的人生一样么？
让人感到惊艳的悬疑文艺片。破案并不是这部电影的主要内容，悲伤才是它的基调，用旧案追查的形式来完美串联。节奏极好，每个角色都照顾到了，它更像是一部群像戏，17年前那些人们的悲哀和17年后的悲哀如出一撤。台词说“现在没有人会那么无私为别人了”，但是真相却进行了最彻底的驳斥，过去有时代的悲哀，但是也有难能可贵的纯粹。被轻视的画像师、一腔热血却委屈的刑警队长、被困住的舞团首席、想要摆脱旧生活的仓库管理员......交织成了远山淡影。除了剧本细腻之外，夸一下视觉，镜头调度水准非常高，后期的调色也高级，质感极佳。很久没有这么走心的文艺片了，希望除了线上以外也能登上大荧幕，它值得。
剧情能看出来狠下了番功夫，也加入了导演对文艺的追求，就是女主二人的身份互换弱逻辑，另，几个男角色不是很喜欢，值得翻拍
-所谓远山，看下来原来是看山那三个步骤。
只是大结局处理的太过文字！差点火候啊！勉强四星
除了远处的山，飘着的云烟，似乎和远山淡影没什么关系。警察瞧不上画像师、暴躁有能力的老刑警、身份互换式的存亡与复仇，都算是老梗，说不上好，但也不能说它坏。
5.3，摄影品味不俗，美术可以过关，但编剧和导演真的很拉胯，编剧bug遍地，导演不知道哪儿下机位，不知道该用谁的视角讲故事，不知道一场戏里应该关注谁跟谁，空镜不是分隔符，空镜是叙事，有表意的好吗？剪辑就是一通胡剪，最不要脸的是宣发，什么“我们错过了戛纳”……要点脸可以么？戛纳跟你有什么关系？下作！
导演: 贺泉
Bug一堆，不过用心拍剧情片的电影导演也不多了
语言: 汉语普通话
镜头真不错，然而人物塑造是个大问题，加了不少剧情笔墨来塑造人物，然而撑不起这样的台词，反而整得人物有点不对味儿

富有文艺气息的悬疑片，视觉氛围营造得不错。相比于中途就猜到结局，反倒是人物的行为逻辑有些难以自洽，影响了质量
从画面和色调等工业角度来说，优于一般的网大。剧情故事讲得挺用心，也有些小心翼翼，但毕竟还是有些单薄，说是犯罪悬疑，其实更多的还是对特定时代的描写，重重顾虑之下，可能也就平平淡淡了。
剧情的硬伤还是不少的，比如王队的刻画过于脸谱化，也许编剧想要塑造铁汉柔情的形象，结果呈现出来的却是喜怒无常的角色；再者就是不要老是想着zz正确，为什么非得要女女爱，难道这是高分秘诀？ 最后就是演员的表现力问题了，也许都是新演员吧，即使导演刻意用慢节奏来掩盖不足依然让人出戏。道具的问题就不多说了，一双二十多年前的舞蹈鞋居然还那么崭新？二十年后的凶手跟当年长得一模一样？
作为一部小成本电影，做到这个程度已经是很好了
作为一部小成本电影，做到这个程度已经是很好了
网大身份的电影，制作还是比较细腻的，整体结构、叙事方式都不错呀，结局符合预期。
文艺片式的悬疑片，作为小成本电影已经非常好啦，节奏很细腻，灰调的光影，私心非常喜欢这种连接陈年旧案的故事
一开场，89式警服的警衔有点低了，不严谨
