第70届戛纳电影节17日在法国南部海滨城市戛纳拉开帷幕,为全球电影爱好者带来一场电影盛宴。从开幕电影《伊斯梅尔的幽魂》到戛纳首部VR影片《肉与沙》,BBC文化频道为您整理了本届戛纳电影节不容错过的12部精彩影片,一起来看看吧。



Ismael's Ghosts

《伊斯梅尔的幽魂》



In the year that Cannes celebrates its 70th anniversary, it's fitting that the opening film – Arnaud Desplechin's Les Fantômes d'Ismaël (Ismael's Ghosts) – is a more-French-than-French affair. The Gallic auteur is a firm friend of the festival, with several of his previous films, including Ma Vie Sexuelle, La Sentinelle, and Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian debuting in the competition. Mathieu Amalric heads up an ensemble of French acting royalty that includes Marion Cotillard, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Louis Garrel. Amalric plays Ismael, a film-maker whose life with Sylvia (Gainsbourg) is interrupted when his lost love Carlotta (Cotillard) returns from the dead.


今年的开幕电影是阿诺•德斯普莱钦的《伊斯梅尔的幽魂》,在戛纳电影节70周年之际选择一部彻头彻尾的法式风格电影开幕很合适。这位法国导演算是戛纳电影节的老朋友了,此前,他拍摄的《西葫芦的生活》、《哨兵》以及《吉米•皮卡尔》等多部电影都曾进入戛纳主竞赛单元。该片由马修•阿马立克领衔主演,还汇聚了玛丽昂•歌迪亚、夏洛特•甘斯布、路易•加瑞尔等众多法国大牌演员。阿马立克饰演电影导演伊斯梅尔,他的旧爱卡洛特(歌迪亚饰)的死而复活,打乱了他和希尔维亚(甘斯布饰)的生活。


Flesh and Sand

《肉与沙》



Alejandro González Iñárritu has established himself as one of the great technicians of contemporary cinema, so it makes sense he would be the first mainstream director to turn to virtual reality. Developed over four years, Carne y Arena (Flesh and Sand) is a six-minute 360-degree installation designed for solo viewing that follows a group of migrants from Mexico into the US and shows, with visceral "you-are-there" flourish, the hardships these immigrants endure even without Donald Trump's border wall in place. It's the first VR work to appear at Cannes.


亚利桑德罗•冈萨雷斯•伊纳里图已经是当代电影界最优秀的电影技师之一,所以他成为第一位涉足虚拟现实的主流导演也是合情合理。《肉与沙》制作历时4年,片长6分钟。片中360度全立体的画面可供单独观看。影片讲述了一群墨西哥移民进入美国的故事,用写实的内心戏展示了这些移民所忍受的艰辛,而这还是在特朗普提议的边境墙没有建成的情况下。《肉与沙》是第一部亮相戛纳电影节的虚拟现实影片。


Jeannette: The childhood of Joan of Arc

《童女贞德》



French director Bruno Dumont explores Joan of Arc's spiritual and patriotic awakening as a child in this musical film based on Charles Péguy's 1910 poem The Mystery of the Charity of Joan of Arc, which looked at the visions that inspired her to join the fight against the English during the Hundred Years' War. Dumont focuses on how the young girl transformed from peasant to warrior, arguing that: "Everyone knows her story in adult life and her end but I don't want to re-visit what's already been done. What hasn't been explored so much is her childhood… What interests me is how Jeannette became Joan of Arc."


查尔斯•皮盖伊1910年的诗歌《圣女贞德仁慈之谜》描写了是什么鼓舞贞德在百年战争期间加入反抗英国的斗争。法国导演布鲁诺•杜蒙以这首诗歌为基础,拍摄了歌舞片《童女贞德》。该片讲述了童年贞德灵魂和爱国之心觉醒的故事。杜蒙重点刻画了童女贞德如何从农民转变成一名勇士的过程,他说,“所有人都知道圣女贞德成年后的故事和她的结局,而我不想再老调重弹。她的童年故事还有很多没有被挖掘……而珍妮特如何转变为圣女贞德才是吸引我的地方。”


The Square 

《自由广场》



Ruben Östlund has some issues with the contemporary art scene. "In the art world," the Swedish director said, "you bring everything you do into a theory level, where it loses its contact with the outside world in many ways." He should know. His new film, starring Dominic West as a US artist showing off a new installation that's supposed to encourage consideration and humanistic regard, is loosely based on his own experience. Östlund once debuted an installation where two people enter a square space meant to symbolize a street intersection, and in that space they interact with each other following the courtesy and deference of motorists to pedestrians encouraged by traffic laws. Art should "remind us of those humanistic values," Östlund says. "I think that this is not very common in the art world."


鲁本•奥斯特伦德对当代艺术界有些看法。这位瑞典导演说,“在艺术世界里,你把自己所做的一切都上升到理论的高度,这样切断了艺术与外界的许多联系。”他对此深有体会。奥斯特伦德的新片《自由广场》基本基于他的个人经历,片中多米尼克•威斯特饰演一位美国艺术家,他大肆鼓吹一个本应该宣扬关怀和人文主义的新装置艺术品。奥斯特伦德曾经推出一个装置艺术品,在这件作品中,两个人进入代表着街道十字路口的空间,在这里他们发生互动,在交通法规的引导下,开车的人对行人有礼而尊重。奥斯特伦德说,艺术应该“让我们想起那些人文价值,我认为这在艺术世界中不常见。”


Okja

《玉子》



Bong Joon-ho has brought dark wit, intense emotionality, and jaw-dropping twists to a series of genre mashups: the monster movie The Host, murder mystery Mother, and dystopian action thriller Snowpiercer. His latest is a Spielbergian story of a young girl, Mija, whose friendship with a massive CGI creature, named Okja, is threatened by a mysterious corporate entity that wants to spirit the beastie away.


奉俊昊将黑色幽默、强烈的情感以及惊人的反转融入一系列题材混搭的电影中,比如怪物片《汉江怪物》、凶杀悬疑片《母亲》以及反乌托邦式的动作恐怖片《雪国列车》。他的最新作品《玉子》是一部“斯皮尔伯格式”的电影,讲述了小女孩美子的故事。美子和一头巨大的特效生物玉子的友情受到了威胁,一个神秘集团想要将这只怪兽秘密带走。


The Beguiled

《牡丹花下》



Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Colin Farrell star in this remake of the 1971 Clint Eastwood revenge tale set in the deep South. Kidman is the headmistress of a girls' boarding school, who agrees to shelter a wounded Union soldier (Farrell). Oscar-winning director Sofia Coppola has shifted the original film's narrative focus from soldier to women, ramping up sexual tension in a film that's competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes.


《牡丹花下》是克林特•伊斯特伍德1971年同名影片的翻拍版,是一个背景设定在美国南方的复仇故事。该片由妮可•基德曼、克斯汀•邓斯和科林•法瑞尔主演。基德曼饰演女子寄宿学校的校长,她同意收留一名受伤的联邦军士兵(法瑞尔饰)。奥斯卡获奖导演索菲亚•科波拉将原版电影中的叙述焦点从士兵转移到片中女性身上,将影片中的性别冲突放大。该片将在戛纳角逐金棕榈奖。


Happy End

《快乐结局》



Students of Michael Haneke's work know that the title of this film is likely to be ironic: the great Austrian filmmaker and two-time Palme d'Or winner is not known for his cheery disposition or feel-good vibes. Details have been kept tightly under wraps: all that is known is that Happy End is set in the French port of Calais and in London, and is billed as a portrait of a bourgeois family. Its producers have said that the European refugee crisis will be "mentioned" and "integrated", but have stressed that it will not be the subject of the plot.


研究过迈克尔•哈内克 45 33775 45 15290 0 0 2825 0 0:00:11 0:00:05 0:00:06 3034作品的人应该知道,这个电影标题很可能是反语:这位伟大的奥地利导演曾两次夺得金棕榈奖,他的电影可不是以乐观向上著称的。电影的细节严格保密:唯一已知的是《快乐结局》的背景设定在法国港口城市加来以及伦敦,该片号称是一个中产阶级家庭的写照。《快乐结局》的制作人称,影片将“涉及”难民危机,在电影中“融入”这个话题,但他们强调这不会是电影的主题。


Wonderstruck

《寂静中的惊奇》



The source material for Todd Haynes' Wonderstruck is Brian Selznick's YA book of the same name, which alternates pages of text with illustrations and was itself inspired by a documentary about deaf children's visual hyper-awareness. Echoing Selznick's approach, half of Haynes' Wonderstruck – which is set in 1927 and 1977 – will be silent, with a number of roles featuring deaf actors. Thirteen-year-old Millicent Simmonds stars as Rose, who runs away from home in search of her idol Lillian Mayhew (played by Julianne Moore), with Michelle Williams and Tom Noonan also featuring. The heart-warming family film is a departure of sorts for Haynes, whose previous movies have often explored transgressive or clandestine relationships.


托德•海因斯的《寂静中的惊奇》改编自布莱恩•塞尔兹尼克的同名青年小说。这本书的灵感来自一部讲述失聪儿童敏锐视觉的纪录片,书中配有插图。为了和原著呼应,影片的半段将以默片形式呈现,故事背景设定在1927年和1977年,其中一些角色由失聪演员出演。13岁的米利森特•西蒙兹饰演罗丝,她逃离家乡寻找自己的偶像莉莲•梅休(朱丽安•摩尔饰),米歇尔•威廉姆斯和艾米•哈格里夫斯也参演了。海因斯以前的电影通常探讨的是大胆越轨、不可告人的关系,这次他一改以往风格推出了一部温馨的家庭片。


The killing of a sacred deer

《圣鹿之死》



Colin Farrell reunites with off-beat Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos for this psychological horror-thriller, following the success of dystopian dating drama The Lobster, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2015. Farrell stars as a surgeon whose idyllic family life takes a sinister turn after he develops a bond with a fatherless teenage boy, Martin (Barry Keoghan), forcing him to make a shocking sacrifice. Nicole Kidman stars as the surgeon's wife.


继反乌托邦式的婚恋电影《龙虾》大获成功、拿下戛纳最佳评委会奖之后,科林•法瑞尔和希腊鬼才导演欧格斯•兰斯莫斯在心理惊悚片《圣鹿之死》中二度合作。法瑞尔在片中扮演一位成功的外科医生,在他试着和一个没有父亲的少年马丁(巴里•基奥汉)亲近之后,他平静的家庭生活发生了恐怖的转变,迫使他做出难以想象的牺牲。妮可•基德曼在片中扮演法瑞尔的妻子。


Loveless

《无爱可诉》



Andrey Zvyagintsev is Russia's best-known director. His 2014 film Leviathan was a hit at Cannes in 2014 – many felt it was robbed of the Palme d'Or – and it went on to win wide international acclaim and a nomination for the best foreign-language picture at the Oscars. Set in Moscow in the warm summer months, the film stars Maryana Spivak and Alexei Rozin as a couple whose son goes missing while their relationship is unraveling. Zvyagintsev has set the bar for himself rather high: he has said he would like Loveless to be compared with the great Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage.


安德烈•萨金塞夫是俄罗斯最著名的导演。2014年,他的电影《利维坦》成为当年戛纳电影节的热门影片,很多人认为该片才应该是当年金棕榈奖的得主。之后,《利维坦》在国际上收获了广泛好评,并获得奥斯卡最佳外语片提名。《无爱可诉》将背景设定在莫斯科的夏季,Maryana Spivak和Alexei Rozin饰演一对夫妇,在他们闹分手期间他们的儿子失踪了。萨金塞夫这次给自己设的目标更高:他说过要将《无爱可诉》与伟大的瑞典导演英格玛•伯格曼的《婚姻生活》作比较。


Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to power

《难以忽视的真相2》



With the tagline "Climate Changes, Truth Does Not", the follow-up to 2006's Inconvenient Truth updates the Oscar-winning documentary for a new era – one in which Donald Trump is the US President. Directed by husband-and-wife team Jon Shenk and Bonni Cohen, the documentary again follows former Vice President Al Gore as he travels the world sounding the alarm about climate change. The original film became one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time, with Gore's high-tech global warming road show front and center. This one doesn't aim to simply retell the same story, though. "An Inconvenient Truth has a very specific style that we were never looking to replicate," says Cohen. "We tend toward the following action, watching events and characters unfold, not doing too much scripting beforehand."


这部纪录片是2006年奥斯卡获奖纪录片《难以忽视的真相》的续集,影片以“气候变化,事实不会变”为宣传语,在特朗普担任美国总统的背景下进一步探讨气候变化问题。乔恩•申克和邦妮•科恩夫妻担任影片导演,片中美国前副总统阿尔•戈尔前往世界各地敲响气候变化问题的警钟。《难以忽视的真相》的第一部是有史以来票房最高的纪录片。第二部不是为了仅仅重复同样的故事。“第一部有其特定的风格,我们从不想复制。我们希望观察事件发展、将角色展开,而不会事先写太多的剧本。”


120 beats per minute

《每分钟120击》



Robin Campillo was one of the screenwriters for 2008's Palme d'Or winner The Class; this year the Moroccan-born French filmmaker makes his directorial debut at Cannes with 120 Beats Per Minute. Set in the early 1990s, when HIV was still little known and understood, the film follows a group of activists who fought government inaction and public indifference to the virus under the slogan "Silence = Death".


罗宾•坎皮略是2008年金棕榈奖获奖影片《课室风云》的编剧之一;今年,这位摩洛哥出生的法国电影人凭借《每分钟120击》首次以导演身份亮相戛纳电影节。故事背景设定在上世纪90年代初,当时人们对HIV还知之甚少,影片讲述了一群社会活动家高举“沉默=死亡”的标语,抗议政府对HIV的不作为以及公众的冷漠。
