回复 :The film accompanies Magaye Niyang, a star of Touki-Bouki, a 1972 classic directed by her own uncle Djibril Diop. Following this path, we are witness of Niyang travel to a special screening of the film, which has a public release in his old town. Niyang seems detached and with a heavy longing from the past, and therefore, the film debris permeates everything with unescapable sorrow and fascination.Diop film is, first and foremost, a nostalgic travel through memory, time and recreation. It is also a watermark in contemporary experimental documentary, a very intimate portrait of a lost long journey through the past that isn’t returning anymore, a detachment of rejected fame, recognition and connection which is heavily grounded on a legacy that belongs to the past, and that connects directly to a country (Senegal) and its heritage, which is sometimes feel excruciating for the old ones (a testimony such as the taxi scene in the film, where the cab driver longs for changes, and claims that the old generation had done nothing for that).Mille Soleils (A Thousand Suns) and, in itself, Mati Diop’s crucial talent, should be a point of reference into what could easily be one of the most interesting proposals of hybrid documentary cinema which has come from France, and which deals with a strong African heritage. Since 35 Rhums, where she proved her actress talent, Diop seems like a true promise for the following years of cinema.
回复 :一辆囚车上的黑人卡尔林与一个白人杰克逊,被铁链锁在一起。在逃亡过程中,虽然白人杰克逊瞧不起黑人,处处为难卡尔林,但卡尔林不计前嫌帮助伙伴逃跑,且恢复了已经丧失的优良品德和对他人的爱。这是一部反对种族歧视的优秀作品,在第31届(1958)奥斯卡评选中获得最佳摄影金像奖和最佳创作剧本金像奖,在1958年第8届西柏林国际电影节上获男演员奖。
回复 :位于加拿大曼尼托巴省的城镇温尼伯,听来遥远陌生,在盖·马汀的掌镜下,却生成了乡愁的有机体。透过梦呓的旁白说书、迷幻写实的黑白光影,导演亲自带路,娓娓道来家乡的历史、自然与人文踪迹,以及谜样传说。建构故事与剪接纪实之余,导演对家乡的抒情神往与奇想,让影片依附着神秘和追忆穿越时空,恍如隔世却又亲密温馨。现代, 加拿大 Manitoba 省 Winnipeg 市~ 导演 Guy Maddin 独坐在火车上, 正准备离开黑白色的家乡 Winnipeg, 和处处监管着他一举一动的母亲~ 一路上, 他在半梦半醒中忆述故乡的种种往事, 一些充满回忆的建筑物, 还有童年时与家人相处的点点滴滴~评语加拿大导演 Guy Maddin 最近几部电影都沾上一点自传气息, “Cowards Bend the Knees” (弱者无腰骨) [2003] 以自己为主角讲冰上曲棍球, 上一部长片 “Brand Upon the Brain!” (追忆少年狂) [2006] 仍充当主角诉说一个奇情侦探故事, 今次索性以自己的童年和家乡 Winnipeg 的历史为题, 拍出一部充满奇想的自传电影~ 又或者如映后摄影师兼监制 Jody Shapiro 及导演在访问中所言, 称之为一部 “幻想纪录片” (docu-fantasia) 或更加合适~Guy Maddin 一向扮默片残片的新潮复古风格在这里依然处处可见, 不过这手法在此更成为一种实用而贴切的表现形式, 配合有如印象主义式的超快速剪接和导演本人不停喃喃自语的内心独白, 以表达主角 Guy Maddin (Darcy Fehr 饰) 半梦半醒的混乱思绪和复杂错乱的回忆片段~ 黑白菲林和残片朦胧不清的效果, 也正好切合长年严寒飘雪, 色彩单调的城市 Winnipeg 的风貌~在 “My Winnipeg” 故事中反覆重现的种种元素, 简直像是心理分析理论的教材, 例如缠绕心头不去的童年往事, 儿子对母亲又爱又怕的矛盾关系~ 那些一闪即逝的字幕卡就如被抑压的旧记忆, 主角对河流交汇处和母亲双腿的迷恋, 就如他一直潜藏在心底的 fixation~不过, 要是太严肃和理论性地分析这电影, 或会忽略这其实是一部非常有趣, 非常感人, 非常富创意, 刻意让真实与虚构混驳不清的独特作品~ 电影一方面把 Winnipeg 这个天气异常寒冷的偏远城市写成一个饶富诗意, 满街都是梦游者的地方, 又把城中的历史大事串连成一个个私人的回忆, 对一些具纪录价值的建筑物加上个人的情感投射, 爸爸的冰上曲棍球场和母亲的发廊固然是的场所, 就连镇上的名人们也成为追忆依恋的对象~
