第72屆戛納電影節必看影片
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
《年輕女孩的肖像畫》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”.
法國編劇兼導演瑟琳·席安瑪憑藉成長題材電影三部曲而揚名天下：《貪得無厭的人們》（2007年）、《假小子》（2011年）和前幾年廣受好評的《女孩幫》（2014年）。《女孩幫》是當年戛納電影節導演雙週單元的開幕影片，被《觀察家報》的馬克·科莫德描述爲“誠實、賦予人力量、令人振奮”。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’ Hélo?se 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《年輕女孩的肖像畫》標誌着席安瑪告別舊題材的一次啓程。這部電影的背景設定在18世紀的布列塔尼，曾出演過《貪得無厭的人們》的阿黛拉·哈內爾飾演“不願出嫁的準新娘”愛洛依絲，諾米·梅蘭特飾演受人之託暗中幫她繪製肖像畫的藝術家。《年輕女孩的肖像畫》是席安瑪第一部參與金棕櫚獎角逐的影片。
Parasite
《寄生蟲》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”.
奉俊昊導演的這部新片是一部悲喜劇，探索處於截然不同的社會環境中的兩個家庭之間的相互作用和影響力。曾導演過反烏托邦主題的氣候變化科幻片《雪國列車》（2013年）的奉俊昊表示，電影《寄生蟲》本土氣息濃厚，可能無法被外國觀衆完全理解。但是這兩個家庭之間的差異“折射出貧富人口之間普遍存在的鴻溝”。
The Dead Don’t Die
《喪屍未逝》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.
《喪屍樂園》續集、《活死人之夜》前傳和《行屍走肉》新番都在製作中，殭屍題材的熱度絲毫不減，就連戛納電影節也加入了這一行列。本屆戛納電影節上映的《喪屍未逝》由備受喜愛的美國獨立導演吉姆·賈木許執導，多位明星參演。Bill Murray, Chlo? 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.
比爾·默瑞、科洛·塞維尼和亞當·德賴弗飾演小鎮的冷麪警察三人組，面對食腦者的入侵，三個警察一頭霧水。蒂爾達·斯文頓飾演嚴肅幹練、帶有蘇格蘭口音的殯葬師。演員陣容十分強大且多樣化，包括多位吉姆·賈木許的御用演員。Little Joe
《小小喬》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.
在奧地利導演傑茜卡·豪絲娜導演的這部講述轉基因植物的驚悚科幻片中，“小小喬”是一種鮮紅色的花，培育目的是給主人帶來快樂。當愛麗絲（艾米麗·比查姆飾演）將花帶回家送給兒子時，他們開始意識到這種植物也許並沒有看上去的那麼善良。本·衛肖、琳賽·鄧肯和凱瑞·福克斯參演了本片，這部英國奧地利合作電影也是豪絲娜首部亮相戛納正式評選環節的電影。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.
不過豪絲娜早已是戛納常客：她先前憑藉《任性天使》（2001年）贏得戛納電影節“一種關注”單元的一等獎，她的電影《鬼飯店》（2004年）和《瘋狂的愛》（2014年）也曾入選“一種關注”競賽單元。Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
《好萊塢往事》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·塔倫蒂諾將這部電影的背景設定在上世紀60年代末的好萊塢，曼森家族崛起的年代。萊昂納多·迪卡普里奧飾演過氣演員裏克·達爾頓，布拉德·皮特飾演他的特技替身克里夫·布斯，這是小李子和皮特首次同臺飆戲。參演本片的還有阿爾·帕西諾、昆汀的御用演員蒂姆·羅斯和達科塔·範寧。戴米恩·劉易斯飾演史蒂夫·麥奎因，瑪格特·羅比飾演達爾頓的鄰居，紅顏薄命的莎朗·塔特。
