简介:19世纪,描写美与丑的文学作品风靡一时。“美”之古怪亮丽,有供人欢愉的脱衣舞会所,有病势严重的私生子,有麻木不仁的上层人士,有父亲之命的婚姻,还有未遂企图的凌辱糟蹋,以及其他。“美”之感情丰富,既有美丽者如真爱,也有残酷者如恐惧与恨。被身处社会上层的爱人无情抛弃之后,可 怜的女人为了支付儿子的医药费,无奈旋舞于众人之前,卖弄色相。受迫于父亲之命,心早有所属的姑娘不得不面对即将于一位年逾古稀者结为夫妻的残酷现实。摄于1921年,法国马塞尔·莱皮埃导演,片头字幕中特别注明:这是一出“闹剧”,表达了莱皮埃对汤玛斯·英斯那种平凡的轶事式的题材的轻视,他以标新立异的形式讲述了西班牙舞女西比拉的悲剧命运。莱皮埃从法国的印象派画家和美国的格里菲斯以及瑞典的斯约斯特约姆的艺术成果中吸取营养,把特技作为重要的电影表现手段。影片中精练而完美的摄影技巧,使西班牙的户外风景和室内布景协调一致,并对剧情发展到起重要作用。影片还探讨了艺术技巧抒发激情的方法。

简介:The subject of Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub’s Der Tod des Empedokles (The Death of Empedocles, 1987) is the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles (c. 490 BC – 430 BC), who lived in the Greek colony of Agrigentum in Sicily. His theories are mentioned in several of Plato’s dialogues. He maintained that all matter is made up of four irreducible elements: water, earth, air and fire. A mystic and a poet, he is considered to be the founder of classical rhetoric. He is also thought to be the last Greek philosopher to write in verse; two fragments of his works survive: Katharmoi (Purifications) and Peri Phuseôs (On Nature). An advocate of democracy, he came into conflict with his fellow citizens of Agrigentum and, as result, was banished with his young disciple, Pausanius. When he was asked to return, he preferred to commit suicide by throwing himself into the active volcano at Mount Aetna.The German writer Friedrich Hölderlin wrote two versions of Der Tod des Empedokles in 1798 and 1800, and a final third version in 1820, all three ultimately unfinished. They were conceived as five-act tragedies and all three differ in plot. According to Michael Hamburger, Hölderlin’s English-language translator,the main reason why Hölderlin finished no version of the play must be that he remained too closely identified with Empedocles, at the very period in his life when his own view of the poet as philosopher, prophet and priest – and as tragic hero – was subject to perpetual crisis and re-examination.Huillet-Straub’s The Death of Empedocles is based on Hölderlin’s first version (the longest of the three), whereas Black Sin is based on the third version.

简介:Like his fiery study of a popular milieu in Fièvre, Louis Delluc's early masterpiece of impressionist cinema, La Femme de Nulle Part, is almost impossible to see outside of rare archival projections in Paris. Shot in natural settings, and stripped of all that is not cinema, Delluc's psychological drama featuring symbolist muse Eve Francis is an experiment in 'direct style.' A fascinating study in the relationship between past and present, memory, dream and reality, this revolutionary film would be a source of inspiration for successive filmmakers, from Francois Truffaut to Alain Resnais.

导演:香特尔·阿克曼
简介:Akerman's Toute une nuit is a collection of vignettes depicting the fancies and dramatic moments of a number of people throughout one summer night. The film has little dialogue and relies on a remarkable series of contrasts for effect: a sultry night of deep, often painful depictions of passion visualized in a stark and grainy manner against the backdrop of a spiritless, bland Brussels.被认为是仅次于让娜 迪尔曼的该导演另一部杰作

导演:阿贝尔·冈斯
简介:这是史诗片巨匠冈斯的早期作品,原版长达九个小时。影片讲述一个类似现在电视肥皂剧的故事:铁路工程师从一次车祸中救回一个女孩,把她当作女儿来领养。不料他自己和儿子都对女孩产生好感。为了不让儿子占有她,遂把女孩嫁给了一个富人。但儿子和养女之间有着压制不住的爱情。儿子跟她丈夫发生争执,不幸死亡。老人把儿子的死归咎于养女,不愿再见到她。后来他眼睛瞎了,养女偷偷回来照料他,直至为他送终。影片的革命性表现在如下方面:开场的火车事故蒙太奇采用快速剪辑,极具震撼力;平庸的剧情中增加了大量文学典故,丰富了内涵;摄影和剪辑均具有一定的形式感,如镜头的节奏跟音乐相吻合,画面中的机器被用作现代化的象征等,开启了“纯电影”的先河。片名指命运的轮回、欲望的轮回,由车轮形象来暗示。

简介:Though Delluc's career was short-lived, it burst vigorously(7 films in 4 years)that it forever left its imprint on french cinema history, and they rightly honoured him by giving the annual Prix Delluc to the best French film of the year. He was responsible for the creation of influential cinema journals like Le Journal du Ciné-Club and Cinéa, founding numerous film societies, writing countless articles and coining the term "cineaste". Delluc believed that films should be set in the natural without elaborate posturing, and characters should be portrayed in an intimate way where the past and present, illusion and reality can be correlated, all considered to be avant-garde at its time. He died only a few weeks after the shooting of The Flood at the age of 33.

主演:Giorgio,Passerone
导演:Jean-Marie,Straub
简介:The lines start with “O Somma Luce” which is the title of the film and also the 67th line of the 33rd canto in “Paradiso” of Dante’s “Divine Comedy” to the end of “Paradiso”. The film is completed with music and lines instead of emotions and narrations. This is a recent attempt to combine film with literature.The film begins with a black screen and the music of Edgard Varese. The BGM is “Deserts” that was recorded in 1954. After some moments of darkness, the music ends and a middle-aged man sits on a hill, reciting something. He is Giorgio Passerone, an Italian literature professor, and he is reading out of the last part of ‘Paradiso’ of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Jean-Marie Straub expressed how he thinks of Dante through a subtle accent and dialect. The director who had encoded many great artists and musicians including Bach, complete the combination of Dante and Varese, which could seem strange. (Lim Kyung Yong)

简介:1984年七月, Varda 在 Avignon 的一棟養老院裡看到一個名為《活生生與人造的》(Le vivant et l'artificiel)的展覽。展覽場裡,藝術品與動物、人工心臟、發霉的牆壁混亂地共存著。視覺上的震憾讓她久久不能自己,於是她決定帶領我們,重回險地。我們看到一間間住宅,或空的、或滿的。隨著時間流逝,卻留下奇怪的痕跡。另外, Varda 也在這家養老院裡遇到了即將是《無法無家》裡的「女僕」 Yolande Moreau 和「老太太」 Marthe Jarnias 。Varda 曰:『在高速火車的搖晃下,我無法讓自己不去想–那些我的精神正試著去吸納的不協調的影像。一到巴黎,我立刻打電話給 Louis Bec 和 Bernard Faivre d'Arcier ,要求他們讓我去拍這個展覽,不是為了去理解它,而是為了從中汲取靈感。他們答應了。幾天之後,我們出發前往拍片。在回到 Avignon 的高速火車的搖晃下, Nurith Aviv 要求看我的大筆記,好知道他將要拍的是甚麼。筆記紙幾乎還是空白的,我們只看到一些標題:廚房、父母的房間、用餐、窗戶。所有的家庭生活都註記到了,但沒有一樣是準備好了的。整部影片完全是以即興的方式去拍的,沒有標記、沒有脈絡。我只不過是跟隨著因參觀現場而感受到自己真實的心臟跳動,和那些仍然令人感到溫暖的老人的存在。』A.

简介:新浪潮老将里维特的雄心大作,分战争篇和监狱篇上下两部。本片以德莱叶和布列松为目标,希望成就新的经典。 传奇历史事件「圣女贞德」发生时,以文字记述事件流传出去的方式尚未普及,因此事件留下来的属于史实的原始记录非常的少。但是圣女贞德的故事,却不断出现在文学作品、舞台剧、歌剧(神剧)与各种电影版本中,这背后一定是有它的原因的。该片讲述圣女贞德从被俘,到被审判,直至最后被处死的过程。在1430年5月23日的一场小规模战斗中,贞德被俘虏了。当她下令军队撤退回贡比涅城时,她处在军队的最后方以确保所有人都退回了城里,但就在这时贡比涅城因为害怕英军跟着闯入,没等到所有部队撤回便将城门关下,贞德与剩余的后卫部队便遭到了勃艮第人俘虏。最后法庭总结了贞德的12项罪行指控,但这些指控都和在审判中的纪录相互矛盾。在各种方式逼迫之下,不识字的贞德没有意识到死刑的逼近,签下了一份她完全看不懂的公开弃绝书。贞德还有另外一个罪名:像男人一样穿衣服。这在1431年可是一项大罪。贞德在战场上穿的是甲胄,但是在军营里却穿的男装,据记载,她穿的是一种很短的灰色的束腰外衣,套在朱红布料做的、织的很密的长筒袜子上面。那个时候还没有橡皮筋,男子的长统袜的顶端都开有成对的扣眼,中间用绳子串起来系紧。一般人用七种以上的花色来系这种袜子,而贞德用了20种,而且还系得很紧。主要是为了保护自己“奥尔良少女”的身份。在监狱里,贞德宣称,没有紧身的袜子,她感到很不安全,她要和教廷抗争到底,准备接受自己的命运。后来,她被套上一身长袍。行刑时,她没有遗言,只是向敌人发出了嘲笑。死刑于1431年5月30日在鲁昂进行,目击者描述了死刑的那一幕。贞德被绑在火刑柱上,她不断的祈祷著,并向旁边的神父请求让她握著一个小十字架。

导演:居伊·德波
简介:Voice 1 (male "professional announcer" type): This neighborhood(1) was made for the wretched dignity of the petty bourgeoisie, for respectable occupations and intellectual tourism. The sedentary population of the upper floors was sheltered from the influences of the street. This neighborhood has remained the same. It was the strange setting of our story, where a systematic questioning of all the diversions and works of a society, a total critique of its idea of happiness, was expressed in acts.These people also scorned "subjective profundity". They were interested in nothing but an adequate and concrete expression of themselves.Voice 2 (Debord, monotone): Human beings are not fully conscious of their real life - usually groping in the dark; overwhelmed by the consequences of their acts; at every moment groups and individuals find themselves confronted with results they have not wished.Voice 1: They said that oblivion was their ruling passion. They wanted to reinvent everything each day; to become the masters and possessors of their own lives.Just as one does not judge a man according to the conception he has of himself, one cannot judge such periods of transition according to their own consciousness; on the contrary, one must explain the consciousness through the contradictions of material life, through the conflict between social conditions and the forces of social production.The progress achieved in the domination of nature was not yet matched by a corresponding liberation of everyday life. Youth passed away among the various controls of resignation.Our camera has captured for you a few aspects of a provisional microsociety.The knowledge of empirical facts remains abstract and superficial as long as it is not concretized by its integration into the whole "” which alone permits the supersession of partial and abstract problems so as to arrive at their concrete essence, and implicitly at their meaning.This group was on the margins of the economy. It tended toward a role of pure consumption, and first of all the free consumption of its time. It thus found itself directly engaged in qualitative variations of everyday life but deprived of any means to intervene in them.The group ranged over a very small area. The same times brought them back to the same places. No one went to bed early. Discussion on the meaning of all this continued...Voice 2: "Our life is a journey "” In the winter and the night. "” We seek our passage..."�Voice 1: The abandoned literature nevertheless exerted a delaying action on new affective formulations.Voice 2: There was the fatigue and the cold of the morning in this much-traversed labyrinth, like an enigma that we had to resolve. It was a looking-glass reality through which we had to discover the potential richness of reality.On the bank of the river evening began once again; and caresses; and the importance of a world without importance. Just as the eyes have a blurred vision of many things and can see only one clearly, so the will can strive only incompletely toward diverse objects and can completely love only one at a time.Voice 3 (young girl): No one counted on the future. It would never be possible to be together later, or anywhere else. There would never be a greater freedom.Voice 1: The refusal of time and of growing old automatically limited encounters in this narrow, contingent zone, where what was lacking was felt as irreparable. The extreme precariousness of the means of getting by without working was at the root of this impatience which made excesses necessary and breaks definitive.Voice 2: One never really contests an organization of existence without contesting all of that organization's forms of language.Voice 1: When freedom is practiced in a closed circle, it fades into a dream, becomes a mere representation of itself. The ambiance of play is by nature unstable. At any moment "ordinary life"� can prevail once again. The geographical limitation of play is even more striking than its temporal limitation. Any game takes place within the contours of its spatial domain. Around the neighborhood, around its fleeting and threatened immobility, stretched a half-known city where people met only by chance, losing their way forever.The girls who found their way there, because they were legally under the control of their families until the age of eighteen, were often recaptured by the defenders of that detestable institution. They were generally confined under the guard of those creatures who among all the bad products of a bad society are the most ugly and repugnant: nuns.What usually makes documentaries so easy to understand is the arbitrary limitation of their subject matter. They describe the atomization of social functions and the isolation of their products. One can, in contrast, envisage the entire complexity of a moment which is not resolved into a work, a moment whose movement indissolubly contains facts and values and whose meaning does not yet appear. The subject matter of the documentary would then be this confused totality.Voice 2: The era had arrived at a level of knowledge and technical means that made possible, and increasingly necessary, a direct construction of all aspects of a liberated affective and practical existence. The appearance of these superior means of action, still unused because of the delays in the project of liquidating the commodity economy, had already condemned aesthetic activity, whose ambitions and powers were both outdated. The decay of art and of all the values of former mores had formed our sociological background. The ruling class's monopoly over the instruments we needed to control in order to realize the collective art of our time had excluded us from a cultural production officially devoted to illustrating and repeating the past. An art film on this generation can only be a film on its absence of real creations.Everyone unthinkingly followed the paths learned once and for all, to their work and their home, to their predictable future. For them duty had already become a habit, and habit a duty. They did not see the deficiency of their city. They thought the deficiency of their life was natural. We wanted to break out of this conditioning, in quest of another use of the urban landscape, in quest of new passions. The atmosphere of a few places gave us intimations of the future powers of an architecture it would be necessary to create to be the support and framework for less mediocre games. We could expect nothing of anything we had not ourselves altered. The urban environment proclaimed the orders and tastes of the ruling society just as violently as the newspapers. It is man who makes the unity of the world, but man has extended himself everywhere. People can see nothing around them that is not their own image; everything speaks to them of themselves. Their very landscape is alive. There were obstacles everywhere. There was a cohesion in the obstacles of all types. They maintained the coherent reign of poverty. Everything being connected, it was necessary to change everything by a unitary struggle, or nothing. It was necessary to link up with the masses, but we were surrounded by sleep.Voice 3: The dictatorship of the proletariat is a desperate struggle, bloody and bloodless, violent and peaceful, military and economic, educational and administrative, against the forces and traditions of the old world.Voice 1: In this country it is once again the men of order who have rebelled. They have reinforced their power. They have been able to aggravate the grotesqueness of the ruling conditions according to their will. They have embellished their system with the funereal ceremonies of the past.Voice 2: Years, like a single instant prolonged to this point, come to an end.Voice 1: What was directly lived reappears frozen in the distance, fit into the tastes and illusions of an era, carried away with it.Voice 2: The appearance of events that we have not made, that others have made against us, now obliges us to be aware of the passage of time, its results, the transformation of our own desires into events. What differentiates the past from the present is precisely its out-of-reach objectivity; there is no more should-be; being is so consumed that it has ceased to exist. The details are already lost in the dust of time. Who was afraid of life, afraid of the night, afraid of being taken, afraid of being kept?Voice 3: What should be abolished continues, and we continue to wear away with it. We are engulfed. We are separated. The years pass and we haven't changed anything.Voice 2: Once again morning in the same streets. Once again the fatigue of so many similarly passed nights. It is a walk that has lasted a long time.Voice 1: Really hard to drink more.Voice 2: Of course one might make a film of it. But even if such a film succeeds in being as fundamentally disconnected and unsatisfying as the reality it deals with, it will never be more than a re-creation "” poor and false like this botched traveling shot.Voice 3: There are now people who pride themselves on being authors of films, as others were authors of novels. They are even more backward than the novelists because they are unaware of the decomposition and exhaustion of individual expression in our time, ignorant of the end of the arts of passivity. They are praised for their sincerity since they dramatize, with more personal depth, the conventions of which their life consists. There is talk of the liberation of the cinema. But what does it matter to us if one more art is liberated through which Tom, Dick or Harry can joyously express their slavish sentiments? The only interesting venture is the liberation of everyday life, not only in the perspectives of history but for us and right away. This entails the withering away of alienated forms of communication. The cinema, too, has to be destroyed.Voice 2: In the final analysis, stars are created by the need we have for them, and not by their talent or lack of talent or even by the film industry or advertising. Miserable need, dismal, anonymous life that would like to expand itself to the dimensions of cinema life. The imaginary life on the screen is the product of this real need. The star is the projection of this need.The images of the advertisements during the intermissions are more suited than any others for evoking an intermission of life.To really describe this era it would no doubt be necessary to show many other things. But what would be the point?Better to grasp the totality of what has been done and what remains to be done than to add more ruins to the old world of the spectacle and of memories.1. This film, which evokes the lettrist experiences at the origin of the situationist movement, opens with shots of the Paris district frequented by the lettrists in the early 1950s.
