茫茫黑夜漫遊
導演:尚﹣皮爾.福埃爾/法國/2011/1020mins 是的,你沒有看錯,片長並沒有多左個零,是整整十七個小時的史詩,與詩。新浪潮的死剩種福埃爾改編塞利納的法國文學巨著《茫茫黑夜漫遊》。流浪漢費迪南走遍一戰的法國、殖民的非洲、資本主義的美國,只發見自己的良知隨步伐泯滅。人獸辯證間,救人命的醫生連最後一絲慈愛都丟給了野狗。千錘百錬的超長鏡頭手到拿來,在極暗的環境下拍攝,白日陰霾,闇夜無盡,塞納河成了吸納世間汚穢的深河。對黑暗的禮讚從未如此徹底,凝看深淵, 卻發現深淵在回看你。不設中場休息。 Journey to the End of Night (Voyagea au bout de la nuit) Director: Jean-Pierre Fouard / France / 2011 / 1020min Cast: Elisabeth Herbert, Scott M. Grosvenor, Marcel White This seventeen-hour poetic epic is, indeed, an epic. Fouard, nicknamed “The Last Man of the French New Wave” is undeniably the last man. Having reached his own very old age, he bravely adapts Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s Journey to the End of Night – a story about a wanderer named Ferdinand travelling around wartime France, colonial Africa and capitalist USA, only to see himself lose the basic emotions of compassion and humanity. Filmed in almost complete darkness, his extreme-long shots continue to be a trademark. Under his camera, France becomes a living hell and the Seine a deep river that absorbs all suffering and being. No intermission. 十二嘢
導演:麥斯米蘭.鈞特勒/奧地利、德國/2011/98mins 十二是時光的度量衡,也是黃道帶劃過的天宮數目。彷彿前作《八月的綿羊》(2001)和《柒》(2006) 意猶未盡,誓要哂冷論盡十二星。納粹橫行的背景給出最極端的人性試煉,唯溫柔與暴烈未必在你掌握之中。十二位演員分別隸屬十二星座,與導演以互動形式構成劇本,務求能在戲裡演盡本我真我超我。它既呼應占星典型,也力圖推翻成見,要你看到人馬的緩慢、處女的膨脹、巨蟹的父權……只有蠍子仍然不是渡河的好伙伴,歹毒到底,是因現實裡導演剛被天蠍玩謝之故。 Twelve Director: Maximilian Güttler / Austria, Germany / 2011 / 98min Cast: Edith von Rohmein, Wöddgang Schmidt-Allewig Twelve is an important component number when measuring time – and is the number of astrological signs of the zodiac. Güttler’s previous August Goes Out Like a Lamb (2001) and 7 Again (2006) were not a conclusive examination of the topic, so this film showcases all twelve horoscope signs. The Nazi-era provides the story’s background and depicted is an intense examination of humanity. Twelve actors have a different horoscope sign and each depict the stereotypical characteristics of their sign. You see the slowness of Sagittarius, the arrogant Virgo, the paternalism of Cancer… Scorpio is depicted as unfaithful and malicious, as usual - because of the director’s own experience with that star sign. 偷腥迷情 導演:彼得.査德本/英國/2011/121mins 保險經紀保羅有個賢淑美麗G級妻子,還有一對IQ分別145和180的子女,保單亦如同旺角的傳單般湧來,生活看似十分美滿,無可挑剔。誰知好景不常,燈火闌珊處,每個人都有他自己的跟蹤狂。智破吊香鬼的過程是懸疑、搞笑、暴力、諷刺共冶一爐,觀眾大可各取所需。但殊途同歸,結局還是回歸査德本經典的驚慄場景。妻女、父母、同事、姨媽姑姐無一倖免,全都複雜得叫你永遠猜不透。懷疑逐步蠶蝕保羅的心神,造成不可挽回的悲劇。影評人Sisick讚說這是研讀心理學分析的最佳文本。 She Cheats Me, She Cheats Me Not Director: Peter Chadborn / UK / 2011 / 121min Cast: Emmanuelle Sinnar, Christine Scott Promas Insurance agent Paul has a beautiful wife with a great pair of G-cups, two intelligent children and business is booming. His life appears to be perfect; however, there is always a shadow under the light and everyone has a stalker. This battle of wits is a combination of mystery, comedy, violence and satire and as the story’s different strands meet, the ending is a Chadborn-style horror scene. Paul’s stalker is actually a protector. His wife and children, parents, work colleagues and relatives cannot escape the unfolding, unexpected complications. Suspicion gradually erodes Paul’s sanity, eventually causing an irretrievable tragedy. The critic Slaboff Sisick declared this movie the best psychoanalytic study ever filmed. 看另一片海
導演:西奧多洛斯.洛普洛普洛斯/希臘/2012/158mins 流亡在外的導演欲回鄕尋找具歷史意義的幾卷菲林,可惜旅途因大霧而折返。有家歸不得的他唯有繼續拍戲渡日,卻因國債問題苦無資金。此時失散多年的母親突然帶著他夢寐以求的菲林現身,可惜連沖灑菲林的公司都面臨破產。絕望的他在街上蹓躂,發現戰火已經蔓延到他的所在,此時他被迎面而來的摩托車撞上,當世人在急救他的肉身,他的靈魂在大氣裡飄浮,見盡人間的國破家亡,亦目睹經濟敗破的本相,無論是生是死,他對歷史與藝術的凝望與對話,從不止息。 See Another Sea Director: Theodoros Loplopolos / Greece / 2012 / 158min Cast: Tony Seriovillos An exiled-director-abroad begins a journey of homecoming and a search for lost historical film footage. Unfortunately, thick mist ends the journey and with no choice he stays in a country experiencing a serious economic crisis. He spends his days making a movie – although he hardly has a budget. Surprisingly and without warning, his long-lost mother appears with the missing footage. This does not improve his situation, as the film’s producer is bankrupt. The depressed director walks the streets and realises that war has now spread to this country. Meanwhile, a motorcycle hits and kills him. His spirit floats in the air and witnesses the suffering during the ensuing economic collapse – it all ends in a thought-provoking conclusion. |
