Spielberg on Blue Is the Warmest Color

Steven Spielberg (史蒂芬史匹柏)擔任本屆坎城影展評審團主席,事前有人質疑他日趨大眾取向可能不利於《Blue Is the Warmest Color》獲獎,結果出人意表。

史匹柏在記者會公開讚美:
For me the film is a great love story that made all of feel like we were privileged to be flies on the wall, to be invited into this story of deep love and deep heartbreak. The director did not put any constraints on the narrative and we were absolutely spellbound by the amazing performances of the two actresses, and especially the way the director observed his characters and just let the characters breathe.
我認為這部電影是偉大的愛情故事,讓我們覺得擁有殊榮能化身牆上的蒼蠅,獲邀深入故事裡的真情與心碎。導演的敘述手法絕無畫地自限,兩位女主角精湛的演出讓我們目眩神迷,尤其是導演的觀照方式,讓角色真實呼吸

現場記者提到評審團的決定是否有電檢或政治考量,史匹柏回應:
Whether it plays in the US was not a criterion for our choices. We just liked that someone had the courage to tell the story. Politics were not in the room with us.
電影能否在美國上映,並非評審要項之一。我們只是欣賞說出故事的勇氣。政治不在考量範圍內。

(雖然此刻法國有反同志婚姻的示威,他謹慎地只以美國為例)
Gay marriage is something that many brave states in America are resolving,…. This film actually carries a very strong message, a very positive message.
美國許多有勇氣的州政府正在處理同志婚姻…..這部電影確實傳達出非常強烈,非常正面的訊息。

頒獎時,特別請兩位女主角與導演一起分享榮耀,史匹柏說明:
It was an obvious conclusion that without Léa and Adèle, the synergy could not have happened. If the casting had been even slightly different, if anything had been a little left of centre, it wouldn't have worked. It was the perfect choice from a sensitive film-maker."
很顯然如果沒有Léa 和Adèle,就不會產生綜合效果,如果演員不同,如果重心有點偏移,電影不會成功。這位敏感的電影創作者做了絕佳的選角。

另一位評審,導演Lynn Ramsay表示:
"People saw beyond the fact that it was a lesbian love affair. Everyone could recognize their own relationships in it, whether straight or gay."
觀眾不是單純地看一部拉子的愛情故事。每個人都能由自己的感情從中獲得認同,不論是異性戀還是同志。

Blue Is the Warmest Color

最新消息,它獲得本屆最佳影片!

本屆坎城影展競賽片" La vie d'Adèle" 英文片名:"Blue Is the Warmest Color"由曾獲兩屆凱薩獎最佳導演Abdellatif Kechiche(阿布德拉提夫․柯奇許/阿布戴柯西胥)執導,最近首映,多數影評大為激賞,但是片中的寫實的愛場面引起討論,演員感到非常意外:




導演以《La Faute à Voltaire 都是伏爾泰的錯》(2000)成名、2003年以"L'Esquive" (Games of Love and Chance 愛情躲貓貓),及2007年以"La Graine et le Mulet" ((The Secret of the Grain 種子跟鯔魚 )獲凱薩獎最佳導演.

劇情是少女 Adele ( 很多影評看好 Adèle Exarchopoulos(右)的表演)成長啟蒙與情慾的覺醒. 她就像一般的高中生,結交男友,初嚐禁果.但是她常幻想的對象卻是藍髮的藝術系大學生Emma (由Farewell, My Queen 暗戀皇后的宮女Lea Seydoux(左)飾演 ) 兩人互相吸引陷入情網.

電影出現非常寫實的性愛鏡頭,長達十分鐘. 由於相當逼真,有報紙就打趣可以拿來當作女同志性愛指南. 不過有更多影評認為拍得非常傑出:

"The Guardian" 寫道: "Praised for its tenderness and intensity, it has been hailed as a landmark in cinematic depictions of lesbian love and female sexuality."

另說: "one of the most beautifully and unobtrusively observed love stories I've seen on film.”

EW.com:... In this case, when the sex scene was over, after what felt like it must have been 10 minutes of writhing, moaning erotic hunger, people in the audience burst into whoops of approval and applause — something I have never in my life seen happen after a sex scene. It’s not so much that the audience was being cute, attempting to acknowledge that the scene was “hot” (although yes, it seriously was). What they were applauding was the authenticity: the fact that the heat was real, and thus the heat had become the drama. Very Last Tango, except minus the perversity.

不過兩人最後因為社會背景,以及不同的人生目標而分手,算是成長的苦澀結果,而非歸因於異性戀或同性戀.

Film.como提到片中的分手戲是近年來極度令人心碎的電影片段,作者承認他這個大男人在片尾不禁留下淚水:......There’s a “let’s meet for closure” scene that is so heartbreaking, so true and, importantly, so true to these characters and their specific relationship that it (deep breath now) ranks as one of the most emotionally devastating moments I’ve seen in a drama ever.


不少人稱讚本片是今年影展最棒的作品,對全球拉子觀眾而言,將是下半年集體盼望的盛事.

最新消息,它獲得國際影評人協會費比西獎。這個獎項通常在影展頒獎前發佈,今年坎城影展獲此獎作品雖不只一部,但可見本片頗獲好評。有些影評用「史詩般」來形容這部三小時的長片。電影圍繞著兩位女主角一段相當長時間的感情關係,從高中女生直到成年成為老師。

不過導演描繪女主角在少女時期的性愛鏡頭引起一些負面聲音。雖然大多數影評認可導演的創作意圖,但有人質疑是剝削未成年人的身體,而且不該如此消費女演員。

本片已取得美國發行,預期它會引發更大的爭議。
