第72届戛纳电影节必看影片
第72届戛纳电影节日前开幕了,角逐本届金棕榈奖的电影中,哪些最值得一看?来看看BBC电影专家的推荐。
Portrait of a Lady on Fire 《年轻女孩的肖像画》
French writer-director Céline Sciamma made her name with a trio of coming-of-age films: Water Lilies (2007), Tomboy (2011) and most recently the critically acclaimed 2014 drama Girlhood, which opened Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and was described by The Observer’s Mark Kermode as “honest, empowering and electrifying”.
法国编剧兼导演瑟琳·席安玛凭借成长题材电影三部曲而扬名天下:《贪得无厌的人们》(2007年)、《假小子》(2011年)和前几年广受好评的《女孩帮》(2014年)。《女孩帮》是当年戛纳电影节导演双周单元的开幕影片,被《观察家报》的马克·科莫德描述为“诚实、赋予人力量、令人振奋”。
A period piece, Portrait of a Lady on Fire marks a departure of sorts for Sciamma. It’s set in 18th-Century Brittany and stars Water Lilies’ Adèle Haenel as ‘reluctant bride-to-be’ Héloïse and Noémie Merlant as the artist commissioned to paint her portrait in secret. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is the first of Sciamma’s films to be in competition for the Palme d’Or.
年代片《年轻女孩的肖像画》标志着席安玛告别旧题材的一次启程。这部电影的背景设定在18世纪的布列塔尼,曾出演过《贪得无厌的人们》的阿黛拉·哈内尔饰演“不愿出嫁的准新娘”爱洛依丝,诺米·梅兰特饰演受人之托暗中帮她绘制肖像画的艺术家。《年轻女孩的肖像画》是席安玛第一部参与金棕榈奖角逐的影片。
Parasite 《寄生虫》
Bong Joon-ho’s latest film is a tragicomedy that explores the power dynamics between two families who live in very different social circumstances. Bong Joon-ho, director of dystopian climate-change sci-fi Snowpiercer (2013), has said he thinks Parasite may be too localized to be “100% understood” by foreign audiences. And yet the differences between the two families, he said, “mirror the universal gap between the rich and the poor”.
奉俊昊导演的这部新片是一部悲喜剧,探索处于截然不同的社会环境中的两个家庭之间的相互作用和影响力。曾导演过反乌托邦主题的气候变化科幻片《雪国列车》(2013年)的奉俊昊表示,电影《寄生虫》本土气息浓厚,可能无法被外国观众完全理解。但是这两个家庭之间的差异“折射出贫富人口之间普遍存在的鸿沟”。
The Dead Don’t Die 《丧尸未逝》
With a sequel to Zombieland, a prequel to Night of the Living Dead and a new Walking Dead spin-off in the works, the zombie genre is showing no signs of dying out. Even the Cannes Film Festival is getting in on the undead action, with beloved US indie director Jim Jarmusch’s star-studded feature The Dead Don’t Die.
《丧尸乐园》续集、《活死人之夜》前传和《行尸走肉》新番都在制作中,僵尸题材的热度丝毫不减,就连戛纳电影节也加入了这一行列。本届戛纳电影节上映的《丧尸未逝》由备受喜爱的美国独立导演吉姆·贾木许执导,多位明星参演。
Bill Murray, Chloë Sevigny and Adam Driver play a deadpanning, befuddled trio of small-town cops faced with an invasion of brain-eaters, while Tilda Swinton appears as a no-nonsense mortician with a Scottish accent. An eclectic and mouthwatering cast of actors includes regular Jarmusch collaborators.
比尔·默瑞、科洛·塞维尼和亚当·德赖弗饰演小镇的冷面警察三人组,面对食脑者的入侵,三个警察一头雾水。蒂尔达·斯文顿饰演严肃干练、带有苏格兰口音的殡葬师。演员阵容十分强大且多样化,包括多位吉姆·贾木许的御用演员。
Little Joe 《小小乔》
In a creepy genetically modified-plant sci-fi from the Austrian director Jessica Hausner, the ‘Little Joe’ in question is a bright-red flower, cultivated to bring happiness to its owners. When Alice (Emily Beecham) takes it home for her son, they begin to realize the plant may not be as benevolent as it appears. Ben Whishaw, Lindsay Duncan and Kerry Fox co-star in the British-Austrian film that marks Hausner’s first appearance in Cannes’ official selection.
在奥地利导演杰茜卡·豪丝娜导演的这部讲述转基因植物的惊悚科幻片中,“小小乔”是一种鲜红色的花,培育目的是给主人带来快乐。当爱丽丝(艾米丽·比查姆饰演)将花带回家送给儿子时,他们开始意识到这种植物也许并没有看上去的那么善良。本·卫肖、琳赛·邓肯和凯瑞·福克斯参演了本片,这部英国奥地利合作电影也是豪丝娜首部亮相戛纳正式评选环节的电影。
But Hausner is already a familiar face on the Croisette: she previously won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the festival with Lovely Rita (2001), and her films Hotel (2004) and Amour Fou (2014) also competed in Un Certain Regard.
不过豪丝娜早已是戛纳常客:她先前凭借《任性天使》(2001年)赢得戛纳电影节“一种关注”单元的一等奖,她的电影《鬼饭店》(2004年)和《疯狂的爱》(2014年)也曾入选“一种关注”竞赛单元。
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 《好莱坞往事》
Quentin Tarantino sets his sights on late 60s, Manson-era Hollywood, with Leonardo DiCaprio as washed-up actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt his stunt double Cliff Booth in the pair’s first appearance together on screen. Al Pacino, Tarantino regular Tim Roth and Dakota Fanning also feature, with Damian Lewis playing Steve McQueen and Margot Robbie as Dalton’s ill-fated neighbor, Sharon Tate.
昆汀·塔伦蒂诺将这部电影的背景设定在上世纪60年代末的好莱坞,曼森家族崛起的年代。莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演过气演员里克·达尔顿,布拉德·皮特饰演他的特技替身克里夫·布斯,这是小李子和皮特首次同台飙戏。参演本片的还有阿尔·帕西诺、昆汀的御用演员蒂姆·罗斯和达科塔·范宁。戴米恩·刘易斯饰演史蒂夫·麦奎因,玛格特·罗比饰演达尔顿的邻居,红颜薄命的莎朗·塔特。
