[豆瓣] Whit Stillman's Top 10 Criterion Collection
你們都知道筆者有多喜歡 Whit Stillman 這位掉書袋掉得比較不著痕跡的伍迪艾倫，與小克的舞廳時光，以及如何迫切地欲窺探獨立製片小甜甜 Greta Gerwig 領銜之最新作品 Damsels in Distress，筆者也希望不久的將來可以把以上三個句子的「你們」和「筆者」交換位置。Whit Stillman 聞於天下而後隱於天下，淡泊名利可比義大利建國三傑之馬志尼，九零年代拍了雅痞三部曲奠定小資青年躁語症 (logorrhea) 電影完美典範，除了每日反覆觀看憂鬱女孩預告三百回，我們來瞧瞧 Whit Stillman 選了哪些電影作為他的十大標準典藏：(居然沒有侯麥!!!) (兩部希區考克)
#1
四百擊 Les quatre cents coups
99 min. 1959
by François Truffaut
It seems that any filmmaker’s first film idea is something about the mawkish predicament of a ten- or twelve-year-old child quite a bit like themselves—and usually their careers end with this choice (Sundance and other debut-oriented film festivals their final resting place). Truffaut took this dimmest of subjects and made one of the most radiant films of all time, in glorious black and white.
任何導演的電影初想似乎離不開一位如自身寫照，十歲或十二歲男孩的感傷困境—他們的生涯通常也如此了結。(日舞與其他懷抱處女情結之影展作為歇腳亭) 楚浮以此幽微主題拍出了影史上最璀燦耀眼的作品，黑與白間光彩奪目。
#2
貴婦失蹤案 The Lady Vanishes
96 min. 1938
by Alfred Hitchcock
So well made, so clever, you have to laugh—perhaps the cleverest thriller ever. What I especially love in Hitchcock is the level of social detail: you get an intense feeling for the time, the place, the social structure, and all social forms. The two cricket-buff characters went on to have their own series of films.
如此優質，如此聰明，你不得不放聲大笑—或許是影史上最聰明的驚悚電影。我特別獨鍾希區考克對於階級之細微描繪：賦予時間，空間，社會結構與諸多社會禮教的觸感。兩位板球狂接著發展出系列招牌電影。
按：筆者沒看過該片，本段若有謬誤請指正。
#3
不速之客 The Harder They Come
120 min. 1972
by Perry Henzell
As close as any film I know to folk art—how this film came about, how it could be the way it is, is a mystery and a miracle.
與任何一部所我知道的民俗藝術電影相比—這部電影是如何發生的，如何就是這樣，仍舊是個謎團與奇蹟。

第七封印 The Seventh Seal
96 min. 1957
by Ingmar Bergman
A film that picks the viewer up and changes him forever. The first “art film” I saw, in a college screening, and I haven’t seen it since, perhaps not wanting to tamper with that memory. Memorable also for providing more parody fodder than any other film.
一部挑選觀眾，並永遠改變他們的電影。某次大學放映現場，我觀影經驗的第一部「藝術電影」，之後就沒有看過第二次，可能我不願意攪亂那記憶。比其他電影提供更多惡搞泉源也相當值得玩味。

老人痴影症：地下水道 (Kanal)
按：一九五七年坎城影展評審團特別獎，與安德烈華依達 (Andrzej Wajda) 的【下水道】(Kanal, 1957) 並置。
#5
淑女夏娃 The Lady Eve
94 min. 1941
by Preston Sturges
Sturges takes a whole assortment of disagreeable elements—cliché rich people, cliché cardsharps, snakes, and slapstick—and makes one of the greatest romantic and funny comedies. The cast one must adore—never better.
史特吉斯取樣形形色色不討喜的元素—陳腔濫調有錢人，老套老千，陰險奸角與低俗鬧劇—製成了影史之一最偉大的愛情電影與滑稽喜劇。無法不喜愛的卡司—無法超越。
延伸閱讀：
老人痴影症：淑女伊芙／淑女夏娃 (The Lady Eve)
按：一九四二年奧斯卡最佳最佳原創劇本提名
#6
瑪丹娜街圖的交易 Big Deal on Madonna Street
106 min. 1958
by Mario Monicelli
I discovered the film on TV in Spain and still like the Spanish title, Rufufu—signaling it as a travesty of a Rififi-style clever caper. The original Italian title—I soliti ignoti (Persons unknown)— also becomes very good once you’ve seen the film. Just the way the characters eat food in the movie is delightful, and the filming style classic and brilliant—a comedy of great elegance. The only two autographs I’ve collected are Mario Monicelli’s and Diana Ross’s (whose “I’m Coming Out” greatly aided the Last Days of Disco soundtrack).
我在西班牙電視機裡發現了這部電影，更喜歡其西班牙片名，魯夫夫 (Rufufu)—示意了該片為【男人的鬥爭】(Rififi) 風格之搶劫諧仿電影。義大利原文電影標題—未知人物—看過電影後也富饒韻味。劇中角色飲食方式令人愉悅，拍攝風格古典而高超—一部大優雅喜劇。我唯二收藏的親筆簽名來自馬利歐莫里切里與黛安娜羅絲。(羅姬演唱之「我將破繭」為【最後的迪斯可時光】原聲帶注入五光十色)
按：克勞蒂亞卡蒂娜主演，一九五八年奧斯卡最佳外語片提名，當年得主為賈克大地【我的舅舅】。

老人痴影症：男人的爭鬥 (Rififi)
#7
妙管家／我的高德弗里 My Man Godfrey
by Gregory La Cava
The first I ever heard from Criterion was a call to work on the commentary track for My Man Godfrey, but there’s still nothing I can say about it. There it is, and there are the magnificent contributions of William Powell and Carole Lombard, director Gregory La Cava, and writers Eric Hatch and Morrie Ryskind.
首次知曉 Criterion 大名來自一通邀請我為【妙管家】錄製講評的電話，但我還是不知道該說些什麼。在你眼前，威廉鮑華與卡洛林白，導演格雷哥萊拉卡瓦及編劇艾瑞哈奇與摩瑞萊金的卓越貢獻。
按：一九三七年奧斯卡最佳男主角、男配角、女主角、女配角、導演與劇本提名。
#8
黑人奧爾菲 Black Orpheus
100 min. 1959
by Marcel Camus
I love films that are great not only in themselves but in the idea of them that stays in memory. But this then can dwarf the actual film, which perhaps it has in the case of Black Orpheus—some aspects now try one’s patience slightly. A few years back a Brazilian film was touted as the realistic and gritty version of the story, by those who knew the actual milieu—another black eye for realism and grit.
我喜歡那些不只是本身偉大，縈繞腦海印象也同樣偉大的電影們。【黑人奧爾菲】則提供後者大於前者之案例—某些觀點現在稍微考驗了觀眾耐心。幾年前一部巴西電影被宣傳為寫實與粗粒版本的奧爾菲故事，藉由經歷其真實社會背景的人們—另一雙寫實主義與真實勇氣之眼。
按：這部電影除了擊敗【四百擊】拿下一九五九年坎城金棕櫚，也勇奪一九六零年奧斯卡最佳外語片，嗯。
#9
美人計 Notorious
101 min. 1946
by Alfred Hitchcock
The charms of the other Hitchcocks—I would like to have included The 39 Steps but don’t have the room—to which are added an atmosphere of such intense passionate tension and threatened betrayal, as well as a cast of archetypal beauty.
希區考克無遠弗屆的魅力—我還想列舉【國防大機密】但已無餘裕—添增幾許高強度炙熱張力與受迫背叛氛圍，以及美麗原型。
按：一九四七年奧斯卡最佳男配角，最佳原創劇本提名。
#10
天堂的孩子 Children of Paradise
163 min. 1945
by Marcel Carné
So beautiful and beautifully evocative—a film that allows space for imagination—but my gosh it’s long.
多麼美，美得勾心動魄—一部允許想像空間的電影—但這想像空間還真長遠。
按：一九四七年奧斯卡最佳原創劇本提名。

[野獸邏輯] Ludivine Sagnier, I wanna eat you all...
My dear Ludivine Sagnier, shall I compare thee to a summer's day? I love you so much that I wanna eat you all, just like Béatrice Dalle did to Nicolas Duvauchelle, or Vincent Gallo to Florence Loiret Caille in Trouble Every Day (2001).
親愛的小呂呂，我該把汝比擬為夏日否？我愛妳如此深切到想吸吮妳的全部，就像賽魯對十七號和十八號那樣。[這個願望實在很難達成筆者快瘋了，總不能在履歷上寫專長係意淫女明星吧！！！]
我的野獸邏輯 (Flandres, 2006) 如下：
1.
Uniqlo sucks.

Ludivine Sagnier wears Uniqlo.
3.

[訃聞] Lizzy Caplan, the poor man's version of Zooey Deschanel? (檢附2011年度最佳電影名單) [法蘭柯只能猩球崛起
still from Bachelorette (2012)
Lizzy Caplan
30 June 1982, Los Angeles, California, USA
Elizabeth Anne Caplan
5' 5" (1.65 m)
She graduated from the prestigious Hamilton Academy of Music in Los Angeles, California, Class of 2000. Her classmates included actor Emile Hirsch.
Named one of Variety's Top 10 Actors to Watch 2006.
(其實之前就有注意但沒放在心上) 無意間新發現之 starlet 小星宿，被遺忘的印象來自【辣妹過招】琳賽蘿涵原生朋友【１２７小時】法蘭科妹妹，然後筆者要為了她觀賞【柯洛佛檔案】。
認識到乍看之下素有「窮人版本的 柔依迪香奈」稱號的 Lizzy Caplan 竟然和 Zooey Deschanel 共同出現在福斯美劇【俏妞報到】(New Girl, 2011)，一方面對於「前」日舞影展小公主 (sorry, I'm a indie snob) 年過三十選擇在小螢幕唱歌跳舞自我剝削感到不勝唏噓，一方面對於曾經是筆者女神的 Zooey Deschanel 錄音室專輯只有主打歌令人印象深刻就算了，馬上有窮人版本這事實更讓人驚覺好萊塢快速新陳代謝之殘忍，與獨立製片女明星沾染主流體制粉味的悲慘宿命。
Zooey Deschanel，就讓妳的 career performance 就停留在【愛情冒險家】(The Go-Getter, 2007) 吧！！！
當眾人忙著對 Penn Badgley 取得 Jeff Buckley 角色哀鴻遍野時，筆者心中暗自竊喜好家在，不給 James Franco 沒關係，千萬別淪落到庭院深深深幾許的吸血鬼身上就好，但 Janis Joplin 角色最後居然被貶謫到過氣甜心 Amy Adams 手中，教我們演而優則歌的 Zooey Deschanel 情何以堪？(未老先衰事業都已經走下坡了還給我發生這種慘案)
現在觀賞這支出現【猩球崛起】超現實場景的音樂錄影帶，筆者不禁於心田深沉地吶喊：「為什麼 Jeff Buckley 角色不給法蘭柯！！！」
法蘭柯：「所以我只好去演【猩球崛起】(也爽) (洩憤) 啊！不是廢話嗎？」

Writer: Whit Stillman (screenplay)
Greta Gerwig ... Violet
Adam Brody ... Charlie
Analeigh Tipton ... Lily (Crazy, Stupid, Love.)
Caitlin Fitzgerald ... Priss (Newlyweds) [美女雲集呀!!!]
Whit Stillman Returns to Filmmaking After 14-Year Break
Throughout the ’90s, Whit Stillman could be counted on for his wry depictions of the American upper class, inspiring the likes of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach.
Yes, No, Maybe So: Damsels in Distress
Greta Gerwig was superbly authentic, touching and funny in Greenberg, but her off kilter whimsy got lost and was wasted on Arthur. Stillman might know what to do with her.

"Woody Allen had an erotic renaissance with Scarlett. He can have a neurotic renaissance with me!"
-- Greta Gerwig in PAPERMAG, Feb. 22, 2011
當我們的小克 (Chloë Sevigny) 年華不再荳蔻只能載浮載沉電影圈，上帝賜與筆者另外一位怪女孩，Greta Gerwig。
她參與 mumblecore 運動如火如荼地建立新生代獨立製片小甜心崇高地位，接著在 Noah Baumbach 電影打響全球 (遠及柏林) 知名度，措手不及地擄獲筆者芳心。她因此取得了好萊塢門票，台灣觀眾可以在【阿舍正傳】(Arthur, 2011) 預告零分零九秒驚鴻一瞥其美若天仙五秒鐘，美國侯麥 Whit Stillman 更是力邀葛瑞塔領銜主演影迷望穿秋水可比泰倫斯馬力克的睽違十三年大作【憂鬱症女孩】(Damsels in Distress, 2011)，各位看倌請捫心自問評評理，為什麼 Greta Gerwig 不是此時此刻最可愛又迷人的
以下為紐約最優秀的雜誌 BlackBook 專文摘譯：
Greta Gerwig is standing barefoot in her apartment wearing a black Vena Cava dress, while a makeup artist applies foundation to her legs in preparation for her second appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Looking up from her ankles, the 27-year-old actor asks the room, "Guess what I’m going to say tonight?" But before anyone can respond, she answers, "I get to say, It’s great to be back! I’ve always wanted to say that!"
葛瑞塔葛雯正裸足身穿黑色名牌服飾站在她的公寓裡，化妝師忙著為其玉腿打點，好參加第二次吉米法倫綜藝秀。凝視踝關節，這位芳齡二十七的女演員問大家：「猜猜我今晚開場白是什麼呢？」趕在有人回答問題前，她說：「本人衣錦返鄉哩！我一直想逮到機會說這句話！」
Fancy outfit dilemmas are new to the California native, who, a few years ago, was writing, directing, and starring in movies with budgets similar to those of most Hollywood wrap parties. Back then, Gerwig, along with a group of friends and collaborators that included filmmakers Joe Swanberg and Mark and Jay Duplass, cornered the market—if you can call it that—on highly personal and largely improvised films about 20-something being and nothingness. They were seen as pioneers of an affordable digital movement, catnip for festivals and journalists, who dubbed it "Mumblecore." In tiny movies like Hannah Takes the Stairs and Nights and Weekends, Gerwig played hyper-verbose, intensely desirable, and romantically beleaguered young women lost in the bigger picture. Her performances in these films are so naturalistic as to border on non-acting.
名牌服飾舉棋不定對這位加州女孩是個新體驗，她在幾年前是預算和大部份好萊塢殺青派對差不多電影的編劇，導演以及女主角。當時，和親密戰友如電影人 Joe Swanberg 與 Duplass 兄弟，在市場上，若煞有其事，奠定了高度個人化與即興發揮，關於二十幾歲年輕人廢物的電影語言。他們被視為數位風潮先鋒，影展貓薄荷糖，影評為其新撰專有名詞 "mumblecore"。於小電影如【漢娜搭電梯】和【夜晚與週末】，葛瑞塔飾演在商業電影飾演難追尋的喋喋不休，人見人愛，為愛痴狂年輕女子。她的演技如此渾然天成到幾乎不像在演戲。
Without this under-the-radar background, it’s unlikely Gerwig would have been cast in last year’s Greenberg, Noah Baumbach’s comedy of dysfunction, in which she appeared opposite Ben Stiller as Florence Marr, an adrift, endearingly sloppy personal assistant who falls for Stiller’s pathological curmudgeon. Gerwig’s performance earned her accolades, culminating in a 2011 Independent Spirit Award nomination for best female lead. Despite Greenberg’s similarities to Gerwig’s earlier DIY projects, it was, by her standards, her entrée into the mainstream.
撇開其低調出身背景，葛瑞塔似乎不會出現在去年【愛上草食男】(什麼鬼翻譯!!!) Noah Baumbach 的功能失調喜劇，她飾演一個煞到班史提勒病態機歪魅力，漂泊隨性的個人助理。葛瑞塔表演大獲好評，榮獲二零一一年獨立精神獎最佳女演員提名。即使類似往日原創作品，對她來說，那是接受主流擁抱的門票。
The majority of people who swarmed cinemas to watch No Strings Attached (the film topped the American box office on its opening weekend) were probably unfamiliar with Gerwig, a slightly dorky girl with soft features, a gummy smile, and tousled hair—worlds apart from the trim and tanned Hollywood princesses who populate most big-budget fare. But those steeped in Gerwig’s still-nascent oeuvre were left questioning how someone who had poured herself so fully into wonderfully quirky cinematic experiments could now be a part of the very machine those films seemed to reject. "Framing those movies by saying that they were the antithesis of something builds a negative narrative of what they were," says Gerwig, who recently wrapped Damsels in Distress, the fourth offering from New York auteur and arthouse favorite, Whit Stillman. "Mumblecore wasn’t about giving the middle finger to anyone. It was really joyful, but it wasn’t very rock ‘n’ roll."
魚貫而入去看【飯飯之交】這種鬼電影 (美國首週票房冠軍) 的庸俗大眾可能不太熟悉葛瑞塔，一個怪怪女孩，有著柔軟身體，靦腆微笑，蓬亂頭髮—和俐落棕褐的好萊塢公主天差地遠。但看過葛瑞塔蓬門今始為君開作品集的朋友們，無不驚訝為什麼這位如此投入怪女形象的小妮子可以出現在完全相反的制式電影。「框架那些電影是某種電影的反物質，對其本質是個負面描述」，剛拍完紐約傳奇，藝術片頭挑 Whit Stillman【憂鬱症女孩】的葛瑞塔說：「mumblecore 並無向任何人比中指之意圖，它不太歡樂，但也不怎麼搖滾叛逆。」
Gerwig’s apartment, a spacious three-bedroom walk-up in the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge, could only be occupied by movie fanatics. (Sure enough, Gerwig shares her home with two other filmmakers: Ariel Schulman, co-director of last year’s documentary sensation Catfish, and Sam Lisenco, a producer with Red Bucket Films.) Vintage, framed movie posters and old photos adorn her walls. The remaining wall space is obscured by their VHS and DVD collection, precarious towers stacked next to one another. It feels almost voyeuristic to watch her getting powdered into camera-ready perfection while surrounded by the curated detritus of her everyday existence. One of Gerwig’s cats, Paw Newman—she has another named Diane Kitten—leaps into her lap. Petting him, she breaks into a fit of laughter. “I must look like Dr. Evil right now!” she says from her perch in the makeup chair, adding, "This is a really poor representation of my life. I bring a little bit of non-glossiness to glossy movies, and it’s cool that I get to do that, but normally I look like a scrubby teacher’s assistant."
葛瑞塔的公寓，曼哈頓橋下三房無電梯，完全被電影夢幻逸品佔據。(當然，葛瑞塔和另外兩位電影人是室友：去年議論紛紛假紀錄片【非識不可】副導 Ariel Schulman，瑞德巴克影視製片 Sam Lisenco) 古老電影海報和舊照片遍佈牆壁，剩餘空間則給錄影帶 DVD 收藏疊床架屋。看著她在鏡頭前搔首弄姿，對比週遭日常碎屑有種窺淫快感。保保紐曼和安安基頓，葛瑞塔的兩隻貓咪，正坐在她腿上。一面拍撫寵物，一面志村大爆笑，「我現在看起來一定很像【王牌大間諜】邪惡博士！」於化妝倚補充：「這是很糟糕的生活寫照。我為精緻電影添增樸質氣息，那當然很酷，但大部份時間我看起來像個卑微的助教。」
Gerwig, who once aspired to become a playwright, also has the approachability of a TA, an infectious kindness that obscures her serious triple-threat potential. Natalie Portman agrees. "Greta is incredibly smart and curious about everything. She not only acts the shit out of a scene, but she could also write or direct it better than anyone in the room," Portman says. "She’s also so graceful and egoless, and she infects any room she’s in with good times. Greta is a rare combination of the coolest and kindest person I know. "For her part, Gerwig speaks with a fondness for everything and everyone, even the guy who held her umbrella to protect her makeup from the glare of the sun during a humid summer shoot." "What a lovely young man," she says as her makeup artist lightens her eyebrows. "His name is Valentin and he’s a fencer at Harvard. The guy holding my umbrella? Harvard."
葛瑞塔，曾經嚮往當個劇作家，也有機會當助教，一個遮掩她多才多藝潛能的傳染性善意。(請協助筆者翻譯) 娜塔莉波曼同意。「葛瑞塔不可思議地聰穎，對宇宙萬物感到好奇。她不僅會演戲，也可以比在場所有人當個更好的導演或編劇。」波曼說。「她也很優雅且謙遜，而且總是讓美好時光咻一下地就過去了。葛瑞塔是我所認識最酷與最和善的人之稀有綜合體。她滿心歡喜地談論宇宙萬物，即使是不讓濕熱夏日艷陽破壞美美妝的撐傘男，『好可愛的男生』當化妝師揚起她的眉稍，『他叫華倫庭，他是個哈佛籬笆匠。為我撐傘的哈佛男子。」
(這張有神似小克)
That summer shoot was Arthur, a remake of the classic Dudley Moore comedy about a dedicated drunk with the wealth of a prince and the wit of, well, Russell Brand. Gerwig peforms opposite the British prankster as Naomi, a tour guide who might just be Arthur’s salvation. Gerwig and first-time director Jason Winer had trouble defining Naomi’s character, so she expressed her opinions the old-fashioned way: an epistolary "diatribe" addressed to Winer. "I wrote that if Naomi were a song, she’d be Nina Simone’s "Ain’t Got No, I Got Life." She’s completely fearless, and she’s one of those characters who appears in a lot of movies from the '80s. She’s that kind of freewheeling, unreliable city girl on-the-go, and wherever she’s going, it’s always more interesting than where you’re going. She usually has crazy hair, and maybe she’s on roller skates."
那夏日艷陽乃為了拍攝【阿舍正傳】(這翻譯真好阿舍本身有田橋仔意思)，杜德利摩爾喜劇經典重拍，關於一個擁有王子財富與，羅素布蘭德，智慧的杜康鬼。葛瑞塔和這個英式惡作劇鬼對戲，一位可能是亞瑟救贖的導覽娜歐蜜。葛瑞塔和處女導演傑森溫納在詮釋娜歐蜜方面有歧見，所以她以老學校表示意見：寄給溫納的書信體「譴責」。「我寫到如果那歐蜜是一首歌，那她就是 Nina Simone 的 "Ain't Got No, I Got Life."。她大無畏，出現在許多八零年代電影。她是那種百無禁忌，自由自在的城市女孩，不論她要往哪走，總是比你選的路途有趣。她有一頭亂髮，也許她在雲宵飛車上。」Gerwig, who grew up in Sacramento with dreams of a New York life—a goal she realized when she enrolled at Barnard College, where she majored in English literature with a concentration in theater and philosophy—infused Naomi with the joy and spontaneity of her personal promised land. Her character embodies the spirit of a Manhattan that Arthur, in his wealthy bubble, has never known, and it’s the same one with which Gerwig herself associates. "The best things in the city are free," she says. "And when you’re not wealthy—which is often the case for young people—it can be exciting when you’re forced to choose between spending the money you have on food or on a subway token." According to Brand, Gerwig and her character share many of the same eccentricities. "Like Naomi, I think people aren’t quite sure what to make of Greta—she's such a peculiar and unique commodity," he says. "When she was a little girl, she used to mow the front lawn in her nightie and tell concerned neighbors that she was forced to do chores by her parents, like a modern-day Cinderella. Indie-rella."
葛瑞塔，成長於沙加緬度懷抱紐約夢，註冊柏納大學時懷抱的夢想，她主修英美文學，專攻戲劇與哲學，為娜歐蜜注入應許之地的歡愉和天成。她的角色體現曼哈頓精神，那是班傑明泡泡裡的亞瑟未曾知曉，也是葛瑞塔本人所體現。「這城市最棒的事物就是自由」她說。「而且當你並不是田橋仔，常為年輕人案例，被迫選擇花錢在食物或地下鐵代幣相當刺激。」根據布蘭德，葛瑞塔和她的角色共享許多古怪特質。「猶如娜歐蜜，我認為人們不太知道要怎麼理解葛瑞塔，她是如此古怪與奇特。」他說。「當她是個小蘿莉，她常常穿睡袍在前庭草皮除草，並告訴關切鄰居她被父母逼迫從事庶務，好比現代灰姑娘。獨立製片小甜甜。」
On her way to the Fallon taping, Indie-rella sits in the backseat of her Town Car—a New Yorker’s horse and carriage—dressed in that black Vena Cava dress, a gift to her from the label’s co-founder, Sophie Buhai. (Buhai is also Schulman’s girlfriend.) The outfit Gerwig was planning to wear is still trapped in that rogue FedEx truck. Outside Rockefeller Center, she signs her name for a few autograph sharks who seem unsure of who she is, only that she looks famous. Once inside studio 6B, where Late Night is taped, Gerwig is ushered into the Bird Room, a small cubicle that, with its dandy Victorian décor, could double for Oscar Wilde’s boudoir. As a producer runs through the show’s proceedings, there’s a knock at the door. "Yaaaaay!" shouts a manic Jimmy Fallon in his unmistakable squeal. He wraps Gerwig in a tight embrace, telling her how happy he is to see her and reassuring her that their segment will be great. The exchange leaves her at ease, and, while snacking on Doritos and waiting for her cue, she watches David Duchovny play to the Late Night crowd, shooting a birthday cake into a basketball net. Soon, she will be on that same stage, but just before she goes on, someone asks her to add her name to Fallon’s guestbook, which Gerwig does happily. "Jimmy!" she writes. "You’re the first talk show I ever did twice! (It’s great to be back.)”
重返法輪功錄影現場途中，獨立製片小甜甜搭乘她的城市車輛，紐約馬車，車穿黑色名牌服飾，來自該品牌始創者 Sophie Buhai 的禮物。 (Buhai 同時也是 Ariel Schulman 女朋友) 葛瑞塔打算穿的華服仍困在飛碟快遞。洛克斐勒廣場外，她餵了幾隻似乎不知道她是何許人的簽名鯊魚，只因為她看起來似乎是名人。在法輪功綜藝秀錄影現場，葛瑞塔被亞瑟小子到博德之房，一個可能是王爾德起居室的維多利亞小隔間。當製片順流程時，敲門聲響起。「歐耶！」吉米法倫驚聲尖叫。他緊抱葛瑞塔，告訴她他有多高興看到她，並確保該集將會很精采。面對這舉動葛瑞塔處之泰然，她正喫著玉米片等待提示，望著穆德探員混雜觀眾群，將生日蛋糕投入籃框。她很快會和穆德探員同台，但在那之前，有人請她在法輪功簽名簿留名，葛瑞塔高興得很。「吉米！」她振筆。「妳是我第一次第二次參加的脫口秀！(本人衣錦返鄉哩！)」

[選戰] [風雲] Ryan Gosling：這張海報單純想表達喬治克隆尼比我帥一萬倍 ↓ 2011/11/29

翻譯照慣例一點也不信達雅，煩請詳讀英國優良讀物《獨立報》之優美原文報導。所以片商是故意排在選舉時間上映【選戰風雲】嗎？爛死了。Evan Rachel Wood 是小克接班人，辦公室情境外套必勝。

Ryan Gosling : "I think like a girl"
Of late, Hollywood has been pondering the question: "Is Ryan Gosling the new George Clooney?" Clooney both stars in and directs Gosling, 30, in political thriller The Ides of March, the poster for which apes a Time magazine cover in which the pair's faces are not only juxtaposed but morphing directly into each other. So often the mother of reinvention, no wonder Hollywood is confused. So too is Gosling's mother.
最近，好萊塢一直思索著這個問題：「雷恩葛斯林是新一代的喬治克隆尼嗎？」克隆尼在自導自演政治驚悚電影【選戰風雲】與三十歲的葛斯林合作，海報仿效《時代》雜誌封面，兩人臉孔不僅並置，也溶接了彼此。難怪舊瓶新酒之母好萊塢困擾不已。葛斯林的媽媽也不例外。
"I think the poster is just Clooney showing how much better-looking he is than me," laughs Gosling, "but my mother saw something else entirely. She called me and was so excited, saying, 'You're on the cover of Time magazine!' I had to say, 'No, it's just the poster for the movie, ma'."
「我覺得這張電影海報單純想表達喬治克隆尼比我帥一萬倍」葛斯林笑著，「但我媽慧眼獨俱。她興奮地把我叫過去說『我兒子上《時代》雜誌封面哩！』，我趕緊解釋「麻，那只是電影海報啦！」
Such milestones are not far off since, no disrespect intended to the esteemed Clooney, Gosling is streets and years ahead of his perceived career mentor's standing at the same age. Just 26, the Canadian-born actor received his first Best Actor Academy Award nomination, for his role as a drug-addicted teacher in Half-Nelson. Clooney didn't snare the role which made him famous –TV's ER – until he was 33, and was 44 before he was nominated (and won) in the Best Supporting Actor for 2006's Syriana.
里程碑仍在不遠方，並無對克隆尼大大不敬之意，葛斯林已經成就了克隆尼這位可預期生涯導師於同時期難以向背之成就。加拿大小子二十六歲即以【我的左派老師】成癮老師角色榮獲首度奧斯卡最佳男主角提名。克隆尼直到三十三歲才咬緊日後讓他走紅的【急診室的春天】影集角色，二零零六年【諜對諜】拿下奧斯卡最佳男配角時已屆四十四。
按：不過克隆尼的奧斯卡時刻搞得跟終生成就獎沒兩樣就是了。
The Ides of March is already garnering its own Oscar buzz and Gosling a buzz all his own as Hollywood's newly anointed leading man under 40. Certainly, there are other pretenders nipping at his ankles (fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds, and Bradley Cooper, to name but two) but Gosling, for now, is clearly ahead of the rest of the pack-in-waiting, if conflicted about it.
【選戰風雲】被寄予鍍金厚望，葛斯林也正步入四十歲以下男神殿神龕。當然，有其他複製貓正囓著他的腳踝 (諸如老鄉史考莉喬涵森前 (棄) 夫或醉後大丈夫，兩個沒什麼料的咖) 但葛斯林此時此刻完全不給其他候選人看到車尾燈的機會，如果存在些許衝突。
按：Ryan Reynolds 演一百部【綠光戰警】可能都無法超越跟 Scarlett Johansson 結婚這檔演藝生涯高峰。
"I'm just so sick of myself. I can't imagine how everyone else feels. And there's just nowhere to go but down really from here. So, hey, it's been nice. It's been real." He laughs hard, puts on his grey, self-designed leather jacket and feigns leaving, with some good reason. In the space of only three months, he has been seen as a ripped lothario who eventually finds love in Crazy, Stupid, Love, the moody disaffected driver of Drive, and now borderline nefarious political press secretary Stephen in The Ides of March. It is not, of course, that Gosling dictates film release dates, but it would be euphemistic to call him anything but "in your face" currently.
「我受不了自己了，我無法想像其他人怎麼受得了。我無處可逃，只有自此跌入深淵。所以，瞧，不在乎天長地久，只在乎曾經擁有。」他放聲大笑，穿著他自己設計的灰色皮夾克假裝要離席，夾帶一點好理由。短短三個月內，他是【熟男型不型】浪子回頭的浪蕩子，他是【落日車神】柔情鐵漢，現在他是【選戰風雲】曖昧不明險惡政治文宣史蒂芬。當然葛斯林並未刻意挑選電影上映日期，但不說他紅遍每條大街小巷就是種委婉。
Fortunately, his current frequency in film is not to be confused with repetition. The Ides of March proffered Gosling a meatier character role, and an unusually high fear factor. "It scared me for sure. I don't know if you can imagine but it's a very nerve-racking thing to walk into this world, which is right in George's wheelhouse."
幸運者，他出現在電影的頻率並未因重複而被混淆。【選戰風雲】給了葛斯林一個比較有血有肉的角色，以及超級危險因子。「我備受震懾。我不知道你是否能想像，但我身鈊煎熬地走入這世界，喬治克隆尼掌舵的這世界。」
按：迪奧：「耳朵好癢。」
Does he have any opinion on the Clooney comparison? Gosling almost spits out his mineral water in disbelief on hearing the line. "Who the, what the?" he laughs, looking genuinely perplexed. "I don't even know what to think about that. Let me get back to you."
對自己被與克隆尼比較有什麼看法？葛斯林不可置信得差點脫口而出口中的礦泉水。「哇哩勒？」他笑著，看起來毫不做作地費疑猜。「我根本不知道該如何自處。給我多一點空間，好讓我再想一想。」
He combines his firm but friendly demurral with a huge not-too-fake-white smile and I suddenly understand why every woman I know (and teenage girls galore) are doolally for Gosling. Long-ago-proved acting chops aside, he is handsome but not threateningly so, boyish but not immature, and earnestly, unashamedly in touch with his feminine side.
當他結合了堅定但友善的猶豫，與雪白又不會太假的笑容，我終於理解為什麼每個認識的女人 (以及成千上萬的花樣少女們) 皆為葛斯林痴狂。先不論早就備受肯定的精湛演技，他很帥，但又不帶威脅，男孩子氣但耳朵後面又不會濕濕的，誠實，毫不忸怩地面對他女性化面向。
按：常被比為老頑童卡萊葛倫的喬治克隆尼，其實單就陽剛雄性更神似父權形象 Burt Lancaster。喬治克隆尼就帥得很有威脅感，若要說帥得不帶威脅，可能要追溯到五零六年份的保羅紐曼才行。然後丹尼爾克雷格 reminds me of 史帝夫麥昆 (Steve McQueen)。
保羅紐曼，一種印象
「我認為他的俊美，沒有威脅，不走極端，更為淡化。」
─我的新好朋友 a.k.a. 政戰魂
"I think like a girl, I think," he says, in answer to a question about growing up with his mother and sister (his parents had divorced). Having been bullied at school thanks to his early TV success, Gosling was home-schooled by his mother for a year, which meant an ever greater female presence in his life. "I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn't know how to think any other way. My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up. Because I was home-schooled I didn't have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls. All of that had an effect on my brain."
「我腦袋像個女孩，我覺得」他如此回答關於和母親與姊姊陪伴成長的問題 (父母離異)。從小就是個家喻戶曉電視明星讓他在學校被霸凌，葛斯林家中自學了一年，母親於生活中扮演著比母親更為重要之女性存在。「我實質上自幼由母親與姊姊撫育。我無法想像沒有她們的世界。姊姊是我最好朋友，我的成長英雄。自學緣故我沒有太多朋友，而且我跳芭蕾，那通常是是女孩子在做的。諸多種種影響著我的想法。」
Though he insists he has "no free time" currently, when he does, he is often found at a Los Angeles ballet studio. "I practise whenever I can," he says, without a modicum of embarrassment.
即使他堅持目前沒有自己的時間，浮生偷得半日閒總出沒於洛杉磯芭蕾舞蹈教室。「我擠出海綿裡的時間練習芭蕾」他不帶一絲羞怯地說。
Have myriad LA mums not spread the word as to exactly where Hollywood's latest heart-throb can be readily observed putting in his pliés? He seems not really to have considered the prospect.
洛杉磯媽媽海是否已盛傳好萊塢當紅我心遺忘的節奏開放大家觀賞芭蕾蹲？他似乎不太在意。
"A lot of the students are young girls so they're there with their mums but they just kind of watch and tell me to keep it up. They try and be positive but I'm so bad. I don't even know what I like about it but it's like acting, I'm just compelled to do it and I do it to find out why. The not knowing is interesting."
「那裡許多學生都是媽媽陪伴的小女孩，但她們總是注目我，然後叫我加油。她們想正面鼓勵我，但我很遜。我甚至不知道我是喜歡芭蕾哪裡，但就跟演戲一樣我無法克制，我得起而行好知其所以然。未知事物是有趣的。」
It may be a reaction to the burgeoning attention he can no longer fend off, but at other times Gosling already speaks like a politician and admits to being even more fascinated by the political world since wetting his feet for The Ides of March.
或許是對無法招架之快速竄紅的回應，但葛斯林自從在【選戰風雲】小試身手後，他已經習得政客談吐，也承認自己更為政治圈所吸引。
"It's not that I see this particularly as a political film or something with a political message. It really is just a thriller set in a political arena. It could just as easily have been in Hollywood or on Wall Street. But the research was so interesting. I learned a lot. I met some politicians, I had a lot of help and I needed it."
「倒不是說我認為這是部政治電影或帶有政治訊息。這只是部設定於政治版圖內的驚悚片。那很有可能發生在好萊塢或華爾街。但功課研究很有趣。我學到許多。我認識了一些政治人物，獲得許多協助，我也真的需要他們。」
He says the parallels between Hollywood and politics have since become glaringly obvious. "It's very hard to be honest in both jobs. You can't really tell the truth because everything you say is taken out of context and cut up. You just have to be careful what you say."
他說好萊塢和政治的類比已經相當明顯。「兩種工作都很難誠實。你無法說實話，因為你說的任何一句話都會被斷章取義，望文生義。你只能字字斟酌。」
I mention a recent interview in which he apparently claimed he'd be retiring from acting within the next decade. He sighs deeply, almost without realising it. "That's exactly what I'm talking about. What I said was that I've been acting since I was 12 [he starred alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in the children's TV series The Mickey Mouse Club] and I've been feeling very creative lately but that I can't see myself maintaining that pace or doing this for the rest of my life. I really can see directing becoming a big part of my life."
筆者提起最近一篇報導寫到他大剌剌地宣稱自己將在十年內退出戲子之路。他仰天長嘯，幾乎不知其所以然。「老師苦口婆心講，你們都沒有在聽嘛！我是說我十二歲就開始演戲 ［和賈斯汀汀柏雷，小甜甜布蘭妮及克利絲汀共襄盛舉迪士尼電視劇《米老鼠俱樂部》］ 我現在還是感到創意充沛，但我無法想像有生之年繼續維持這步調或當演員。我想跟喬治克隆尼一樣演而優則導。」
Like Clooney, Gosling's early years are deeply cemented in TV, though he says he felt all along "that there would be a place for me somewhere in the film biz". It wasn't until 2004 that he hit pay dirt with nostalgic romance The Notebook opposite fellow Canadian and then girlfriend Rachel McAdams. He previously dated Sandra Bullock – they met on 2002's Murder by Numbers – and is now dating Eva Mendes, his co-star on The Place Beyond the Pines, which he recently completed for director Derek Cianfrance. Cianfrance also directed Gosling in last year's much-acclaimed Blue Valentine, and he professes a desire to work again with directors he has established a shorthand with.
猶如克隆尼，葛斯林早期生涯奠基於電視圈，即使他覺得「好萊塢一定有我發光發熱之處。」直到二零零四年他演出了卡薩維蒂家族之恥【手札情緣】與當時的加拿大女朋友瑞秋麥當絲對戲。曾經約會過珊卓布拉克—兩人結識於零二年【拿命線索】—目前和伊娃曼德絲打得火熱，當今美國獨立製片業界最炙手可熱導演德瑞克西洋法蘭斯新片【松柏長青】的女主角。
葛斯林在去年最優秀電影【藍色情人節】與西洋法蘭斯合作，心中萌生與一拍即合導演再度共事種子。
按：Nick Cassavetes & Zoe R. Cassavetes 這對兄妹檔加起來的才華可能都不及老爸三十七萬分之一洋溢。
按：珊卓布拉克……
見證兩位明日之星的誕生
"The Place Beyond the Pines was the best experience I have ever had making a film. It's because Derek and I now have one film behind us and a history. We can talk to each other in a way we never could before so Pines is an evolution. I feel like I've been dating all these film-makers and now I just want to get married."
「【松柏長青】是我最棒的拍片經驗。因為和德瑞克之前合作過一部電影，儼成歷史。我們彼此可以前所未有的方式對談，所以松片真是進化創舉。感覺就像我和一票導演們約會過，而老子現在只想結婚。」
He will also reteam with Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn for the upcoming remake of Logan's Run but says, contrary to reports, babies are not next on his agenda. "Out of context too. I was saying that genetically we are programmed to have certain instincts and if you're not fulfilling those instincts, they can manifest themselves creatively."
他亦再度聚首【落日車神】導演尼可拉溫丁黑芬重拍【攔截時空禁區】但堅稱，和媒體報導相左，(和黑芬的電影) 心血結晶並不在他的時程表裡。「也完全沒道理。我是說就基因角度我們正計劃培養某種本能，但你若無法實踐這些本能，他們自己會像水裡的魚一樣跳出來。」
按：I think Ryan Gosling's gonna define my sexuality again ♥♥♥
按：什麼爛翻譯呀！
閒聊科幻片《Logan's Run》
「大多數的影迷都認為此片很 cult & campy，因為女主角 Jenny Agutter 長得很漂亮性感，而且從頭到尾都幾乎衣不蔽體……」
─華文字幕傳奇 PromLin
With Gosling now booked up for months, does he not find the prospect claustrophobic? Actors, after all, are wont to espouse the benefits of time of and living life as acting enhancements.
預約案件量達數月，他是否對其錦繡前程感到幽閉恐懼？演員總是習慣提倡時光荏苒與人生體驗帶來演技的成長。
"I've never booked myself up like this. I used to make a film every year or two. A week after I finished The Place Beyond the Pines, I started on my current film Gangster Squad [with Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Emma Stone]. We'll see. I may come to regret it but I just want to be making films right now. The opportunities are so great I don't want just to be hanging out. I feel like this is the time for me to be productive."
「我從未把自己的時間排這麼滿。我以前一兩年只拍一部片。【松柏長青】殺青一星期後，我開始拍【落日黑幫】(西恩潘，喬許布洛林，艾瑪史東領銜) 等著瞧。可能會後悔，但我此時此刻就是想演戲。機會太美好，我不想曠日廢時。增產報國大好時機。」
按：Gangster Squad 導演 Ruben Fleischer 成名作品為艾瑪史東主演之【屍樂園】(Zombieland, 2009)。
Gosling can sometimes be spotted at Disneyland, as he was last month in the company of Mendes. "I have a love/hate relationship with Disneyland but what's so interesting to me is that the attention to detail there never gets old. There's always something new to find, something they've thought of. And there is always the idea of somebody who had a dream and made it so real you can walk around in it. "
葛斯林有時候會出沒在迪士尼樂園，上個月和曼德絲小姐。「我對迪士尼樂園愛恨交織，但有趣的是他們對於細節仍保持巨細靡遺精神。總是有新發現，他們所能想到的。總是有某位名不見經傳小子美夢成真，成真到你真的可以走進去玩耍。」
Gosling's own interesting dream is, it seems, only just beginning.
葛斯林，天空是你的極限。
本文謹獻給我的BFF。

經檢視其作品清單，歷經【充氣娃娃之戀】到【藍色情人節】兩年完全沒有演出的潛龍勿用，我們得到一個更精粹，更出神入化的雷恩葛斯林。論天然美貌或許稍稍遜色喬瑟夫戈登李維、麥克彼特、詹姆士麥克艾維等花瓶，但若提變色龍演技與上戲的帥氣，其他小可愛們完全不是對手。

I mean they spend their whole life looking for Prince Charming and then they marry the guy who's got a good job and is gonna stick around."
狄恩：「我覺得跟女人比起來，男人才是真正浪漫。我們說要結婚就是要結婚，遇上喜歡的女人以前就死不結婚，因為這女人實在太美妙了不娶她就是智障。但女人只會到某個地點挑個最好的選擇在那裡……噢他有份好工作。她們花費一生尋覓白馬王子，然後嫁給那位有份好工作，宜家宜室的白馬王子。 」
如果筆者把心中的電影拍出來，拍出來的 best scenario 就是【藍色情人節】這部滿溢戀人絮語與不語的當代經典美國製立製片，唯一缺點乃女主角太路人。死前必做十件事：觀賞【藍色情人節】DVD，只在有帥到掉渣的小恩恩出現的片段吻兩下打兩槍。【落日殺神】蠍子外套超帥！我也要！我也要！我也要！

Hitchcock: Confessions of an Art Film Fanboy
"My boyfriend's got a HUGE cock, and he..."
"What? Your boyfriend's got a HITCHCOCK? How happy would that make him? I'd like to meet your boyfriend, though I don't know what that means..."
前些日子經夏綠蒂與莎曼莎綜合體之 友人 引介，走往某藝廊參訪，面對魚貫而入的藝術品與藝術家們，筆者不斷質疑自己就竟是喜歡電影作為一門藝術？亦或僅係膚淺的藝術電影迷弟？如果筆者真從電影裡參透了什麼，為什麼換個媒介就如此忸怩不安？我不知道，筆者只知道我還有太多電影來不及看，太多迷弟模式 (fanboy mode on!!!) 來不及開啟。要繼續做個前腳跨出一步，隨即後腳縮回半步 (every time we take one step forward, you take 2 steps back) 的踟躕不前聖盃國王 (King of Cups) 就是了哼哼。前進與後退之自辯得參考去年在馬倫巴雕像。
既然說到塔羅牌就一定要提個【ＪＯＪＯ冒險野郎】(JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)，前些日子同事說她問工作抽到星星 (The Star)，筆者興奮地疾呼冷氣一哥空条承太郎的白金之星是史上最強的替身，當場在 (再度) 辦公室情境被動作 (台語) 外星人十五分鐘。然後空条徐倫的愛慕者安納蘇，其實就是 Anna Sui，第六部《石之海》(Stone Ocean) 大概達到這部科幻時尚經典的娘砲泰鼎了。【】是筆者專門用在電影的標點符號，《》則是電影以外作品例如音樂專輯或書籍，所以對於【ＪＯＪＯ冒險野郎】筆者採【】代表該怪力亂神邪典第四部《不滅鑽石》(Diamond is unbreakable) 之隱晦層次與情感波動足以媲美電影！
相當不熟稔的賈克‧李維特 (Jacques Rivette) 如是說，能夠被希區考克東區粉圓小小影響死而無憾，不知道要貼在哪裡所以先貼在這裡哈 ↓
I guess I like a lot of directors. Or at least I try to. I try to stay attentive to all the greats and also the less-than-greats. Which I do, more or less. I see a lot of movies, and I don’t stay away from anything. Jean-Luc sees a lot too, but he doesn’t always stay till the end. For me, the film has to be incredibly bad to make me want to pack up and leave.
And the fact that I see so many films really seems to amaze certain people. Many filmmakers pretend that they never see anything, which has always seemed odd to me. Everyone accepts the fact that novelists read novels, that painters go
to exhibitions and inevitably draw on the work of the great artists who came before them, that musicians listen to old music in addition to new music… so why do people think it’s strange that filmmakers – or people who have the ambition to become filmmakers – should see movies?
按：布魯諾‧杜蒙 (Bruno Dumont) 很明顯就是李維特說的那種刻意強調自己沒很愛看片，拍出來的片又鳥到一種極致之廢物噗噗。
When you see the films of certain young directors, you get the impression that film history begins for them around 1980. Their films would probably be better if they’d seen a few more films, which runs counter to this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced if you see too much. Actually, it’s when you see too little that you run the risk of being influenced. If you see a lot, you can choose the films you want to be influenced by. Sometimes the choice isn’t conscious, but there are some things in life that are far more powerful than we are, and that affect us profoundly.
If I’m influenced by Hitchcock, Rossellini or Renoir without realizing it, so much the better. If I do something sub-Hitchcock, I’m already very happy. Cocteau used to say: "Imitate, and what is personal will eventually come despite yourself." You can always try.

Womb (2010) not just a Eva-Green-so-hot movie by Benedek Fliegauf
原本還猶豫是否要去電影院觀賞這部電影。一來 Eva Green 自龐德電影後
要不是預告看起來挺正經，導演又被封為 貝拉塔爾接班人，筆者可能就這樣錯過了目前為止今年第二優秀的作品。尼可拉溫丁黑芬的【落日車神】是一部讓筆者 speechless 的黑色電影新經典 (獨行殺手加計程車司機!!!)，米蘭達裘麗則以【戀愛離線中】跳脫那惡名昭彰的 scatology，帶給觀眾更多蛻變與驚豔。就在筆者驚呼同一個禮拜居然上映了截至該週末本年度最佳電影前兩名，下個禮拜【複製情人】這片名實在不怎樣的作品出現了。
「複製人聞起來有塑膠清潔劑的味道。」
從導演認為本片更貼近希臘神話 Orpheus & Eurydice 的愛情史詩不難看出其永恆超然，不同於同為輕科幻愛情故事【別讓我走】(Never Let Me Go, 2010) 中複製人只是無知的小綿羊，女主角決心可比奧菲斯勇闖地府，即使被烙上亂倫印記也要把男主角找回來，兩人重逢溢著苦澀，而自我救贖也可以伴隨 reciprocity。
筆者非常喜歡導演處理鏡頭的方式，靜謐，充滿情感，尤其美得超現實的海濱小屋，在不恣肆沉溺之長鏡頭下回應了「海枯石爛生死相許」之古老命題。劇本發展內斂，不搧情卻也絲毫不忸怩，Eva Green 示範了讓專業影評人無不驚嘆其 遠超出花瓶所該俱備之精湛演技，身為人母的蕾貝卡撫育還是孩童之小湯米，欣然接受青梅竹馬再次映現，面對成人湯米釋放恐懼與憤怒，我們看見展現堅貞無畏與誠實坦然的愛情模樣。
多倫多影展是本片目前最大曝光點，仍未於美國院線上映導致難以在影評圈傳佳音，如果就這樣悄悄地被擺在錄影帶架上，極度被低估之【複製情人】將會是你我最相見恨晚的瑰寶。
匈牙利導演 Benedek Fliegauf 交出第一部英語劇情長片前，金馬影展零五年 匈牙利新浪潮 單元曾收錄他的【迷幻天堂】(Dealer, 2004)，零八年影癡Ａ段班單元收錄【銀河影像】(Milky Way, 2007)，零四年手冊封面採用【撒旦的探戈】劇照，舉辦了 貝拉塔爾 導演專題，想當然耳，筆者一定是都沒看過才會在這裡該該該。結果貝拉塔爾超難看，林北就是不知道吃馬鈴薯有什麼好看啦！← 長鏡頭的時間感。

眾所皆知筆者視與 Ludivine Sagnier 結婚為畢生心願，於毫無疑問史上最偉大的二零一零年金馬影展 目賭 女神風采後更加堅定志向。為了證明父親為英文教師的莎妮耶，真的不是因為英文很遜所以沒有演好萊塢電影，請參閱下方中英對照訪談內容。廢話不多說，希望筆者可以在三十五歲之前辦個 Ludivine Sagnier 影展，並邀請她參與映後座談，共進晚餐後順利求婚成功。(兩者之間的連結仍然很遙遠且全然未知)
為了製造 the groundhog day of the day I met Ludivine Sagnier 真實感，筆者的 msn 暱稱至今仍保持著「莎妮耶會來我快瘋了我要翹班我要逃兵我要輟學我要去當追星族！！！」之文字敘述。
[配合天藍色內褲小妹之天藍色字句係空穴來風之設計對白]
You started so young Cyrano de Bergerac (1990). You were all of 9 or 10!
妳很幼齒就開始演戲了。【大鼻子情聖】當時妳才九歲十歲耶！
People always ask me how I got started. My story is so common that it's a bit tiring. I went to an audition with my sister who wanted to be an actress and they asked me if I wanted to do an audition and they picked me and didn't take her. It happens so many times in the industry. I've talked to a lot of actresses...
人們總是詢問我如何起始演藝生涯。我的故事陳腔濫調到懶得再講了。我跟想當演員的姊姊參加某次試鏡，工作人員問我想不想試鏡，結果人家只挑妹妹沒選姊姊。這行的陳腔濫調，與其他女演員交流之結論。
So when you were first coming up as an actor in France were you conscious of this great legacy. Like you're next in line after Huppert and Deneuve and well, so many actresses... France makes great ones.
所以當妳首次成為法國女演員，妳有意識到其中偉大傳奇嗎？就像妳是雨蓓或丹妮芙等女神的後繼者……上帝創造法國，法國創造女人。
LUDIVINE: NO! I Didn't see myself that concretely... I didn't like myself that much in the beginning. But it's funny because I just shot a movie where I was playing Catherine Deneuve in the 1960s and she is playing me older. It's Beloved from Christophe Honoré who I did Love Songs with. Maybe this time I had the feeling that we are part of the same family, that we have a common story. First she was my mom in 8 Women. Then I was Chiara's sister in Love Songs and Chiara is her daughter. And now Chiara is my daughter in Beloved. Everything is so mixed up!!!
不！我腦袋沒有那麼空谷麗……我一開始沒有那麼喜歡自己。但滑稽的是，因為我剛拍完一部我飾演六零年代丹妮芙，丹妮芙飾演年長我的電影。請各位支持今年金馬影展萬人空巷之【巴黎小情歌】(只會用帥哥美女騙觀眾進電影院的) 導演克里斯多福歐諾黑最新力作【小情歌唱不完】，我說不定又會抽空來個女神降臨喔！或許是因為血濃於水，我們一家都是人。最初她在【八美圖】是我媽媽。然後我在【巴黎小情歌】是馬斯楚安尼頭長在女人身上的妹妹。現在琪雅拉在【小情歌唱不完】是我和馬斯楚安尼的女兒。我快精神分裂哩！
And now I dare think we share the same history. When I started... NO.
才怪。
It must be so flattering to play a younger version of her. She's one of the greatest movie stars of all time.
可以飾演年輕丹妮芙一定飄飄然吧！她是影史上最偉大的電影明星 之一。
It was amazing. To me Catherine Deneuve. Especially in the '60s... [She loses her thread for a moment here with appropriate awe...] All these images! François Truffaut and Jacques Demy. All this New Wave I was fed with as a young actress. It's such a privilege to project myself into this period of time because of course I didn't get the chance to meet them. It was a huge present. It was great, really.
馬德里不思議。凱薩琳丹妮芙。六零年代……[她拋出適當數量之驚嘆號完恍神了一陣子] 美好的六零年代！法蘭西斯楚浮與賈克德米。我身為年輕演員就被照三餐餵食的新浪潮。投射自己至該年代是種特權，因為我當然沒有機會參與他們。天上掉下來的禮物。真的。
Now in Love Crime you're playing opposite another terrific actress Kristin Scott Thomas and it's very much a two-hander. I was surprised to hear that you had no rehearsal time, really. It was just meet and shoot?
現在妳和另外一位偉大演員克利絲汀湯馬斯史考特互飆遠超出花瓶所該俱備之精湛演技，並大玩雙面手法。聽到妳沒有彩排時間令我驚訝。所以是相見歡完就馬上拍攝？

最後決定叫女神汀姊
Yes, it was very spontaneous. Maybe she didn't have the time or Alain didn't think it was necessary -- I wish we had but it wasn't really possible.
是的。或許是汀姊沒時間。或艾倫覺得沒必要─我也希望可以彩排，但當時真的莫文蔚 。
Love Crime, being a noir of sorts, is very stylized. There wasn't a lot about it that was naturalistic per se. And actually a lot of your movies have been that way: 8 Women, Peter Pan, Water Drops on Burning Rocks... Is this your preference, these heightened acting challenges like musicals or thrillers?
【愛之無盡犯罪】作為一部黑色電影，非常地風格化。一點也不自然。事實上妳很多電影都是走 campy 風：【八美圖】【小飛俠彼得潘】【乾柴烈火】……這是妳個人偏好，這些挑戰遠超出花瓶所該俱備之精湛演技的歌舞片或驚悚片？
Not necessarily. But, you know, what I like is to be able to bounce from genre to genre. [She pauses to consider why she's done so many....]
倒也未必。但你知道的，我喜歡悠遊於各種類型。[她停下來思考為什麼拍了那麼多 campy 風]
People just project my image onto those kind of stories. When I started to shoot Love Crime I had just finished a movie [Lily Sometimes] that -- unfortunately it's not going to be out in the US -- but it's a very down to earth movie. Diane Kruger. We play sisters in the country side: barefoot, very natural, no makeup. Maybe that's not my image -- somehow against my will I have this sophisticated image that doesn't really fit with what I really am. But that's life.
人們只會投射我的形象到那樣的電影。【愛之無盡犯罪】開拍時我正好剛殺青一部電影 (不設限的美麗)─很可惜在美國不會上映─但那是一部嗅得到泥土味道的自然電影。黛安克魯格。我們飾演鄉間姊妹花：光著腳丫，清新自然，沒有化妝。或許那不符合我碧姬芭杜接班人的形象─本人真的不是什麼法國小辣椒。但這就是夜市人生。
Would you ever do a heavily green screened or f/x driven movie again after Peter Pan.
妳在【小飛俠彼得潘】後還會對綠螢幕演戲嗎？
LUDIVINE: Yes. [She, well, it's confidential. Something is brewing which she won't talk about.]
商業機密。
I actually loved your Tinkerbell. So bratty and the physicality you brought to it was topnotch. Just... well it was so accurate and you don't see that often with Peter Pan.
我超愛妳的奇妙仙子。如此鮮嫩，凱莉米洛整個遜掉。如此精湛，蒂娜菲 (Tina Fey) 整個遜掉。
Thank you. Maybe it struck you because the director had inspirations that were not totally Walt Disney cliches. There's this French artists who had pictured Tinkerbell as this petite brunette -- a bit ghetto style -- she was one of our inspirations.
謝謝。或許是因為導演沒有遵循迪士尼公式。某位法國藝術家刻劃了奇妙仙子這位金髮小美人─帶點街頭風格─她是我們的啟蒙。
You mentioned images that came to mind with Deneuve and what directors project on to you ... how about the public? I don't know how often you're recognized here or at home but do people assume things about you from the movies?
妳提到丹妮芙形象與導演對妳的期望……關於大眾想像呢？我不知道你在美國或家鄉多常被路人指認，人們會因為妳演過的電影而對妳有刻版印象嗎？
After Swimming Pool. [Pause] People were thinking I was the hottest chick on earth and I was going to get undressed every five minutes. I was like, "hmmmm, you might be mistaken." But otherwise... You know, in France, people don't really get harassed when they're famous.
【池畔謀殺案】後。[語重心長] 人們開始認為我是地球上最性感的騷貨，然後我每五分鐘就會袒胸露乳。我心想「我不是安心亞喔！」不過……你知道的，在法國名人不太會受到騷擾。[各位觀眾請做筆記，以上才是本人不太想到好萊塢發展的主因]
Most but not all of your films have been in France. Are you looking for more international opportunities?
不是所有的莎妮耶電影都是法國電影。妳想成為國際紅星嗎？
I am trying to diversify, it's true. For example I've asked to be part of an Asian festival jury because I want to be closer to that cinema. I think there's a real emerging cinema in South Korea. I'm a big fan of those movies.
我試著呈現自己多樣面向。例如我曾提議擔任亞洲影展評審團成員 [不過好像也沒人屌我]，因為我想更親近亞洲電影。南韓電影正竄起。我是南韓電影粉絲。
按：筆者從此不敢再壞嘴韓國電影了。
"La Nouvelle Vague" in France. It happened because people didn't have money. They were in a hurry to get their films done and they worked in a state of emergency. And that's the reason why those movies are so fresh and spontaneous and somehow they had a way of resetting reality. Usually the energy comes from rising economies. I'm very curious about that.
法國新浪潮。肇因於不是每個導演都跟夏布落一樣老婆家裡都很有錢。他們想趕快把電影拍完，兵馬倥傯。所以拍出來的電影如此新潮與即興，某種程度上他們有辦法重現真實。而通常那能量來自經濟發展。我對此很好奇。
I have a manager in the US, and you know, I'm still curious but not the typical "American dream" because what I want first is to have a cohesive career. That's important to me.
我在美國有經紀人，不過你知我也知，我還是對美國夢持懷疑態度，我更希望有個連貫的演藝生涯。那對我很重要。
Well honestly, French cinema is better for that anyway. When people get older the roles are still great. That's not as often the case here.
好吧我承認妳還是繼續當法國內銷一姐好了。法國老人還是可以拿到好角色。好萊塢那套妳我心知肚明。
按：看看 Marion Cotillard 因為英文很爛成了多恐怖的法國花瓶，君未見【全面啟動】慘不忍賭呀！！！
I'm interested in building something strong and solid. You know in America there's this cult of suddenly getting infatuated with someone. Squeeze him or her to the last drop and then -- pffft -- Away to the bin!!! [Laughter]
我想成為一個強大的女演員。妳知道美國人會突然風靡某人的風潮。擠壓他或她到最後一滴柳橙汁，然後─[難以翻譯的狀聲詞] 就丟到冰庫裡冷藏。[小麻雀妳這個只會裝可愛的白痴等著瞧吧！本人才是承襲丹妮芙血統的正港法國一姐，呣哈哈！]
I'm more ambitious somehow. I want to stay longer. Life is a marathon and not a sprint.
我現在是兩棲動物。我希望我的演藝事業能夠長長久久。生命是場馬拉松而不是一百公尺短跑。
筆者觀賞【黑天鵝】最大感想就即 Mila Kunis 根本是窮人版 Marion Cotillard 呀！ 
Shawn Marion 對不起妳很可愛，但妳在 [當好萊塢今最被吹捧過度的導演] 諾蘭電影倩女幽魂實在太欠婊了。
Shut up, just shut up. You had me at the second you stepped on your little worried shoes.
如果出來的是十五年前還 保養得宜 十分性感 1 的丹妮芙，剝削感和滄桑感都不會那麼嚴重。
好怕小 lulu 戲份比重同預告，那就構成今年最大地雷。金髮 (妹) 是上帝的賜禮。
1 詳【犯罪家譜】(Généalogies d'un crime, 1997) by Raoul Ruiz 1941~2011。
Marion Cotillard & this dude called Yodelice...
為什麼我心目中的神之經典名曲可以被這兩個傢伙搞得這麼難堪？(但還是不及 Miley Cyrus 演唱少年仔的氣味)
怎麼辦我越來越討厭 Marion Cotillard 了！
David BOWIE - Velvet Goldmine
原來絲絨金礦原本是首砲歌，這也解釋了同名電影【絲絨金礦】為什麼要用該首歌曲當片名。

Velvet Goldmine (song)
1.
"Velvet Goldmine" is a song written by David Bowie and recorded during the The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars sessions in 1971.
2.
However, it did not make it to the album and was eventually released as the B-side to the UK rerelease of "Space Oddity" in 1975.
3.
Bowie originally wrote the song as a rather adult description of him making out with another man. Social pressures, combined with an only-half-hearted interest in the material, resulted in Bowie rewriting the song to be slightly more ambiguous.
4.
The song title inspired the name of Velvet Goldmine the film.
5.
Despite being originally only released as a B-side, this song has become very popular amongst fans and has been released on at least one "best of" compilation.
Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit
That's what I'm talking about interpretation, greatest rendition ever!!!
