1. 備戰

Normal
When our lives and experiences are not "normal", why we still have to live and act normal? I enjoy my uniqueness. And please bear with me, yes, u have to. No choice.
Random Five
1. 找回很久沒有聽的幾首歌,其中一首是Bon Jovi的(You Want To) Make a Memory。
2. 不人道的等待,難受。要撐住。
3. 今天在office忽然很想買東西,於是上網解決,快手在amazon買了四隻OST,愉快。其實另外有三件衫在anthropologie的shopping cart裏等待着我的最後一click。
4. 這四天都沒有喝酒啊。其實我一直都是有限度的喝喝而已。
5. 想不到第五。Have a happy weekend!

關於作家的兩齣
The Invisible Woman 狄更斯的隱密情人
Charles Dickens,有哪個學生沒讀過他的著作? 原來他有個秘密情人,還有值得進場捧場的Kristin Scott Thomas,當然不想錯過。
由Ralph Fiennes自導自演,我最熟識他的演出有The English Patient,沒有好感,Harry Potter擁躉對他當然不陌生,Voldemort喎。近來也有看他在The Grand Budapest Hotel的演出。這次應該是他第二次執導長片,算是很不錯的了。
我喜歡故事本身,還有似有還無的感情瓜葛,很subtle的關係,不過對女主角Nelly(Felicity Jones)來說是悲劇一場。Felicity Jones有獨特氣質,不算很漂亮,但足以飾演一個令人魂牽夢繞的女人(演出包括:The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Brideshead Revisited, Doctor Who, The Tempest, SoulBoy),她的母親Mrs. Frances Ternan(Kristin Scott Thomas)為了女兒的未來,儲心積慮為她安排一生,也造就這個悲劇的延續。
也很喜歡Charles Dickens妻子和Nelly對手戲那幕,是電影中最重要的幾幕之一。
更喜歡故事中提到The Great Expectations中的Pip及Estella,記得是當年中四時讀English Literature有讀的小說,這對小情人我們畢生難忘。
Rotten Tomatoes有76%
'The Invisible Woman,’ About Charles Dickens’s Mistress (New York Times)
Violette 字裡芳華
story: Violette Leduc, born a bastard at the beginning of last
century, meets Simone de Beauvoir in the years after the war in
St-Germain-des-Prés. Then begins an intense relationship between the two
women that will last throughout their lives, relationship based on the
quest for freedom by writing to Violet and conviction for Simone to have
in their hands the fate of an extraordinary writer. (imdb)
主角是著名法國影星Emmanuelle Devos,看過她很多的演出。
法國小說作家Violette Leduc原來是個先驅,很有代表性的前衛女子,即使在現今社會也會是個女中豪傑。不是麼,2014年我們還在爭議出櫃和同性戀的什麼什麼,那個年代她已經勇敢地把自己對同性的愛與慾一一寫在書裏。
不過電影中她對publisher Simone (Sandrine Kiberlain)的瘋狂沒有很具體地讓觀眾感受到。故事本身是吸引人的,也沒有悶場。
喜歡Violette和她母親的關係,她形容與母親的疏離對其影響之深遠,但故事中她母親不時出現,也為她付出不少。
導演Martin Provost本身是個演員,導演作品只有六齣,前作Séraphine 我好像是在飛機上看的。

四齣
Abuse of Weakness 女導與情盜
主要是捧Isabelle Huppert的場,結果是非常的失望。故事是導演自己的真人真事寫照,荒謬的悲劇其實可以拍得很好看,結果是更荒謬的成品。不看沒損失。
故事主要是說女導演因中風,病癒後偶而半若兩人,在電視節目上見到一個老千,很適合作其下一部電影的主角。而她自己則一步一步成為他的目標/羊牯。
劇情令人覺得既愚蠢又荒謬,近乎浪費時間的一齣。
Attila Marcel 迷幻了記憶
視覺色彩都很吸引,故事有趣,不過沒有驚喜。
導演Sylvain Chomet前作有聞名的The Triplets of Belleville和The Illusionist,自然有期望。故事其實吸引,悲喜交雜,色彩令人看到喜那邊較多。

男主角的身世是可憐的,幸而最終遇上美貌與音樂才華並重的中國女子。
電影幽了中國人一默,卻又有點隱喻。
其實現在的法國片是不是都不敢開罪強國人?
Yves Saint Laurent 聖羅蘭
可以拍得很好看很吸引的biography,很多幕都略嫌有點拖長,欠緊湊,令人失望。
飾演Yves Saint Laurent的Pierre Niney比YSL真人好看一點(但都和俊俏相距甚遠),不過演技值得欣賞,把YSL演得更吸引。飾演其另一半Pierre Berge的Guillaume Gallienne戲份極重,由於故事本身是改編他的著作,都從他個人作出發點。飾演Victoire的Charlotte le Bon漂亮得像個陶瓷娃娃,十分迷人。
My Name is Hmmm... 我的名字是...
作為agnes b的首作其實已經合格有餘,不過不喜歡,或許是題材太沈重吧。
可以的話都不會揀這個題材的電影看,太沮喪太恐怖太不人道。本來還以為是Agnes b的個人寫照,原來不是。她說就是因為自己是業餘,什麼題材都可以拍,於是選了她認為非常普遍的社會現象。

女主角之一是很夠份量的Sylvie Testud,看過她多齣電影的了,依然演技出色,她一向都是不靠外表的演技派,多得她的參與,令電影有點看頭。
