Cannes Film Festival: 1964



一九六四年也是相當重要的轉捩點,兩部電影《窈窕淑女》和《秋水伊人》彷彿向影迷發表聲明:全世界最美麗的女人之頭銜,正式從羅馬甜筒小公主轉移到雪堡傘店未成年孕婦身上,尤其前者一直被赫本迷如筆者棄嫌,也因為賈克德米的金棕櫚,筆者由好萊塢黃金年代陣營,正式投向法國新浪潮的懷抱,奧黛莉赫本在心目中的地位也被凱薩琳丹妮芙取代。黃金年代。

米榭李葛蘭首部配樂電影乃高達《女人就是女人》,說不定為賈克德米《蘿拉》譜曲也跟御用攝影師拉烏寇塔 (Raoul Coutard) 一樣,都是高達整組人馬大方出借的。米榭李葛蘭以和賈克德米之合作關係為人津津樂道,高達也有不少安娜電影原聲帶收錄米榭李葛蘭曲目:《女人就是女人》《賴活》《法外之徒》。













簡單來說,拉烏寇塔 (Raoul Coutard) 先生是六零年代的神,除了和高達密集合作,還有賈克德米《蘿拉》、楚浮《槍殺鋼琴師》《夏日之戀》《黑衣新娘》以及柯斯達加華斯《焦點新聞》(Z)。以下是拉烏寇塔之高達 (前) 卡麗娜時期編年史:



1960 《斷了氣》Breathless(A bout de souffle)

1962 《賴活》My Life to Live(Vivre sa vie: Film en douze tableaux)

1963 《小兵》Little Soldier(Le Petit soldat)

1963 《槍兵》The Riflemen(Les Carabiniers)

1963 《輕蔑》Contempt(Les Mepris)

1964    《法外之徒》Band of Outsiders(Bande a part)

一九六三年的《豹氣蓋山河》堪稱該屆坎城影展最囂張!直接把活生生的豹子牽來了,不過囂張也囂張得理直氣壯,威斯康堤就靠著這隻豹拿下金棕櫚。《紅色沙漠》男主角 Richard Harris 以《如此運動生涯》(中文片名參考自老人痴影症) 拿下坎城影帝。鳳宮劫美錄。

Interviewing Anna Karina on Thu 21 June 2001 洋娃娃‧魁儡‧史艷文
























Being directed







CM: One last question. Which is - Watching all your films over the last week... 



最後一個問題。這禮拜看了這麼多安娜卡麗娜電影……





AK: I've been a little bit too long, hein?



我故事真的鋪陳太久,對吧?





CM: No, not at all, not at all.



一點也不。一點也不。





AK: That's because I haven't been in England for a long time.



那是因為我好久沒踏上大英帝國領土了。





CM: Watching the films over the last couple of weeks, what's really striking is how different they are, and how different you are in them. How did you prepare for each one? Was there a... How did Godard direct you?



這幾個禮拜看了許多安娜卡麗娜電影,令人驚奇的是電影各有千秋,電影裡的安娜也別有風情。妳是如何準備每一個角色的,或者說高達如何導戲?





AK: Godard doesn't really direct anybody you know. He's like, holding you, inventing everything. It's like a ballad. It's like something you... It just works.



他其實不太管演員怎麼演戲,你也知道。先抓住你的人,靈感於是泉湧。就像首民謠……反正高達就是有那個本事。





CM: Okay, let's just take Alphaville. What did he tell you about Alphaville? What did he say?



好的,我們拿《阿爾伐城》當範例。《阿爾伐城》是關於什麼的故事,他到底講了什麼?





AK: Well he never tells anybody anything. We never had a script. What I can say is that... You just saw the film. What was amazing, maybe not today but at that time, there was no light, you know, and he went to England to make a stage, is that what you say? He went to the labo...



他從不向任何人說明任何事。拍高達電影是沒有劇本的。該怎麼說呢……看電影就知道了,酷炫的是,可能現在還好,當時沒有燈光,於是他到英國取經,他到史艷,那個單字叫什麼來著……





CM: Laboratory. 



實驗室。
 



AK: Laboratory. Because there was this new pellicule.



實驗室,因為某種新技術剛發明。





CM: Film. Kind of film.



膠捲之類的。



按:技術層面專有名詞請不吝指教!





AK: No; not film. Yes film. Pellicule. And he went to England to learn about this because it was very ... you just saw the film, as you can see it's very sensitive, .... Because what he liked about this was you didn't need to make a lot of light you know. There was no need for that. So he stayed for three months in London in the labotary, labortry



不,不是膠捲。是膠捲,某種新技術。然後他到英國取經,膠捲相當敏感,不需要打太多光就可以拍電影。他在倫敦的史,史豔宅了三個月。





CM: Lab, lab. In the lab.



史,史艷文。





AK: Okay, in the lab. Let's be American. And he learned about that and he came back and he said to everybody, "I've got this new film to you know, without light. It's fantastic. You can film at night, you can film everywhere." And everyone said, "You must be joking, there's no need. This is full of shit. It's never going to work." And of course so we started the film with Eddie Constantine, with everybody, and Raoul Coutard, who was the chef of photography, he was not allowed to put any light. I mean sometimes you see an ampoule, how'd you say - a lamp? That's all. And there's no light. And he said, "I don't even want to go to the rushes. There will be nothing on the screen. He was sure of it." He was mad.



好的,史艷文。英文真難。從倫敦學成歸國,高達信誓旦旦地說:「老子已經學會膠捲的妙用,這實在是太神奇了,不用打光就可以拍電影,夜間拍,隨處拍。」「你頭殼壞去不成?外星人呼叫地球。」當然我們還是得乖乖聽話,我們包括艾迪康士坦丁,拉烏寇塔,不被允許打任何光的攝影師。有時候只有登跑在黑暗中指引你,那個單字叫什麼來著……燈泡?一言以蔽之,不准打光。然後他說:「我懶得去沖底片了啦!銀幕上什麼東東都也不會有。他堅信不移。」神經病!



按:我們還包括尚皮耶里奧,客串幫康士坦丁和安娜開房間的小服務生。





Godard_Coutard-2-2-a3382 ← 簡單來說,拉烏寇塔先生是六零年代的神。









He was right, Jean-Luc, because, I don't know, I haven't seen the copy tonight, but normally you can really see people, even with no lights. So Jean-Luc was right. And of course he had a lot of ideas like that. But I guess... We had to make a lot of shots, because it was so sensitive, the film. So he was afraid of small problems on the screen. But it worked.



事實證明高達永遠是對的,我還沒看今晚的電影,但沒有燈光伸手還是可以見五指的。高達永遠是對的,高達是個天才。但我猜他必須一個鏡頭拍很多次,因為膠捲感光度比較強,怕小問題投影到大螢幕會擴張為大問題。總之,高達是個天才。





CM: Okay, thank you. Now we'll throw it open to the audience. Over there.



見好就收。現在我們開放現場同學發問,第五排左邊數來第三位。























A doll and a marionette







Q: In all the films that you did with Godard was there any moment where you said, "No I will not do this, it's crazy, it's not going to work?"



在所有高達安娜傳世經典裡,有沒有讓妳說出:「老娘打死不從,這太荒謬了,外星人呼叫地球。」的時候?





AK: No, because we never knew before what we were going to do. We had the dialogue five minutes before, so we were so involved with learning the text that we're not even asking what's going on. (laughter)



沒有,因為我們根本不知道接下來要幹麻。五分鐘前才拿到對白,所以我們只想快點搞清楚到底要說些什麼,根本沒時間問問題。(哈)





Q: Was Godard curious about other directors?



高達對其他導演有興趣嗎?





AK: Sometimes he was very jealous, yes. (laughter). But most of the time with Visconti he was very proud. Because Visconti is a fantastic director too.



有,高達是個善妒的傢伙 (哈)。他認為自己和威斯康堤是一時瑜亮。





Q: Did he ask you about what Visconti was like to work with? Was he curious? Was he a big fan of Visconti?



他有問妳和威斯康堤的合作經驗嗎?他有一直問嗎?他是威斯康堤的頭號影迷嗎?



按:《異鄉人》(Lo Straniero),一九六七年馬斯楚安尼共同領銜主演。





AK: Oh, a very big fan. No he didn't...Jean-Luc doesn't ask that kind of question. He is very respectful when he admired somebody like Visconti. But on the other hand sometimes, he didn't like me too much to, I'm talking about when I was very young of course, he didn't like to work too much with the other directors, but well I did because I haven't done only seven films in my life. I've done about 67, or something like that, plus the TV and the theatre plays. Well, Jean-Luc is somebody who is very respectful, and he loves what's beautiful. It's the most important thing I guess. You cannot be jealous of something... I mean what's beautiful is beautiful, you like it. When you love art, you're like that.



瘋狂粉絲。其實高達不會問那種問題,對於崇拜對象他是很尊敬的。從另個角度他不太喜歡我和其他導演合作,我是說我當時還年輕,他不喜歡和其他導演合作,而我得那樣做,因為演藝生涯只拍了七部電影。約莫一九六七年,再加上電視劇與舞台劇。高達是個必恭必敬的人,他嚮往美,那是生命中最重要的事我猜。你不需要去忌妒什麼……我是說美的存在無從忌妒。當你喜歡藝術,事情就是那麼一回事。





Q: (In French). How did it feel to be treated as a doll and a marionette?



(法語) 對於被視為洋娃娃魁儡做何感想?





AK: D'abord, j'adore les poupées et les marionettes. I love it. (laughter) But I really feel like a woman too and I think that... Bon, vous comprenez l'Anglais ou pas, par ce que vous parlais Français? Probablement mieux que moi. Non non. I loved it. I really felt like a woman, and I mind to be sometimes a marionette, sometimes a doll, sometimes a chipie, sometimes somebody else. That's the art of an actress. Or and actor. It's not a problem. Maybe you should see all the films of Jean-Luc Godard - you've only seen two you told me - before you make a judgement. Because I think he's one of the directors who has done the most variation. And done the possibilities for the actors to give all kind of sentiment.



起初,我愛死洋娃娃魁儡了 (哈)。嗚啦啦……還是操回法蘭西第四共和小俏妞母語吧!你這死英國佬是不會講英文喔?法語又沒老娘英文好…… 不,我並不在意,身為女人,變換角色如魁儡、洋娃娃、婊子、任何人都是演員該嚐試的。或許你該看完高達全集再下評論,因為他是最多才多藝的導演之一,也為演員創造各種可能的情感。



按:法文段落請不吝指教。





Q: What was it like to work on Fassbinder on Chinese Roulette?



和法斯賓答合作《中國輪盤》感覺如何?





AK: Oh it was a very exciting two years. He was a little bit down at that point, but, did you see his film? Did you like it?



相當刺激的兩年。他當時有點低盪,但你看過電影了嗎?喜歡嗎?





Q: Yes.



喜歡。





AK: I think it's a film that's got some kind of ...It's very strange but it's a good film. And well it was kind of the same thing. We had the dialogue about five minutes before we were shooting, and so we went to Cannes. And we stayed away about three weeks and then I kind of got bored, because I've got to learn German because nobody speaks French. I went to the village by foot and I bought a lot of books for kids about five or six years old, because I said, "Well this is terrible, this is tisch..." And then they started to like me because I wanted to learn German. After three weeks I spoke German, so I speak German in the film. It's true.



我覺得那是一部優秀的詭異電影。法斯賓答和高達一樣,開麥拉五分鐘前才交出劇本。身在坎城卻沒有人說法語,休假三個月我得精通德意志基本會話才不會無聊。我徒步至小鎮村,買許多書送給小朋友,因為老娘破口大罵:「這是什麼鬼地方?一切都遭糕到極點……」劇組才開始喜歡我,因為老娘想學德意志基本會話。三個禮拜後老娘德語說地輪轉,所以拍德國片不需要配音員。信不信由你。





掌聲鼓勵鼓勵!

Anna Karina & Jean-Luc Godard in Cléo de 5 à 7 (1962)

















Interviewing Anna Karina on Thu 21 June 2001 法蘭西第四共和小俏妞












Anna Karina was interviewed by Colin MacCabe at the National Film Theatre on Thursday 21 June 2001 before a screening of Alphaville, part of the Godard season at the NFT.

















Becoming French





Anna Karina: Bonsoir

晚安。





Colin MacCabe: I know that people here will want to ask questions so I'm going to ask just a very few to start us off, and warm us up. The first thing I'm going to ask you Anna is to tell us about what you're doing now. I know you've just been shooting a film with Jonathan Demme, but you've also been telling me about an exciting development which I think you should share with the audience.



我知道現場很多影迷想問問題,本人將善盡拋磚引玉之職責所在。安娜安娜告訴我,妳最近都在忙些什麼?強納森德米電影拍攝中,但安娜有更酷炫的計畫要和影迷分享。





AK: Yes that's right, I just did... well I'm singing a song. I'm singing a tango would you believe [laughs]. I wrote the lyrics and it's a wonderful woman called Rachel Portman who wrote the music and Jonathan Demme is really a fantastic and lovely director and he's really so wonderful. We just finished this about one week ago in Paris. What else do you want to know?



是的……我在唱歌,唱探戈你相信嗎 (哈)?我負責寫詞,一位芳名瑞秋波曼的妙女郎譜曲,而強納森德米實在可愛又迷人。這是發生在巴黎一個禮拜前的事了,還有其他問題嗎?





CM: I want to know about your new career...



我想試探妳的演藝生涯第二春。





AK: well, right, it's true. Since one and a half years I'm doing concerts in France and Japan and all over Europe with a young group and we're singing French songs and we're having a great success. It's like a new life.



沒錯……十五個月內奔走於歐陸與東洋,和年輕團隊分享成功經驗,的確是演藝生涯第二春。





CM: We're hoping that... Anna has been to Japan and other countries and we're hoping that her band will arrive in Britain in the near future. If we wind back from the present to the past, could you tell us how you came to end up as a ... I mean you were born in Denmark and then you became a French star. How did that happen?



我們真心期待……安娜在日本和其他國家舉辦巡迴演唱會,我們日夜企盼安娜撥冗光臨大英帝國蓬蓽。如果時間能倒流,是否能告訴我們安娜是怎麼進化……我是說出生丹麥,然後成為法蘭西小俏妞。來龍去脈。





AK: I'm a fourth French [laughs]. I'm not a real Froggy but... Well I kind of figured.... Well... I came to France because I was a run-away girl. I went to France when I was sixteen-and-a-half because I had problems in my family like... so I came to France and I didn't have any money and all that so I made drawings on the road, on the streets to earn some money, but that didn't pay very well. So after a while I went to see the ...un curé, comment dire...a priest. On the Champs Elysees there's a kind of church, a Danish church, and I went to see the priest and I ask him if he could not find me a kind of room somewhere, and he did. So I lived there and I went around in Paris and suddenly I found a place where I thought was great and that was St Germain les Près. And then somebody asked me if I would like to make some pictures and I said, "Yes". I said, "Well, it might be dangerous..." at that time there was [...], you know, young girls to South America and all that. So I said, "well, if you come with a lot of people it will be okay." That was very naïve of course. But they did; they came with the hairdresser, with the assistants with the photographers and all the people arrived. So I did some pictures, and I was very excited because I earned some money to live, to eat. I was very skinny. I had one dress - a black dress I remember, and one pair of shoes - they were white. It was really not very.... So I did, it's becoming too long this story...



我是法蘭西第四共和小俏妞 (哈)。本人
並非生來就是個法蘭西小俏妞……這個嘛……唉喲……我為了當逃家小俏妞才跑到法國的。二八佳人和家裡相處不愉快才跑到法國,身無分文只好當起街頭小畫家,收入不十分優渥。沒多久我就去找沈夫……那個單字叫什麼來著……神父。香舍麗榭有個修道院,丹麥修道院,拜託神父尋我個安身之處。解決住宿問題後,來個花都一日遊,我發現聖傑曼德佩區是個好所在。接著有人想用小姐是否願意拍沙龍照的伎倆和我搭訕,我說好,其實在那時空背景下是有點不安全的,二八佳人被遣送到中南美洲的案例不是沒發生過。所以我補充:「本小姐拒絕孤男寡女共處一室」相當二八佳人我承認。但他們是認真的,造型師、助理人員、攝影師紛紛登場。於是我拍了些照片,賺了些外快飽足民生。我當時是排骨精,一套黑色洋裝,一雙鞋,雪白如白雪。那實在不是非常……我是不是該講重點了?





CM: Well, speed it up.



快馬加鞭。





AK: So I did these pictures and I said, "Can I get my money" and the lady said, "No, we have to release the pictures in the papers before you get paid." And I said, "Well that's terrible." She said, "Well, we'll give you some pictures to show and we'll give you some addresses to go and see some people." So I went to see Le Journal Elle. You've head about that? And Madame Lazares was there with another lady called Coco Chanel and Coco Chanel said, "Who are you?" and I said, "I'm just me - I'm called Anne Karine" She said, "Well - you wanna be an actress?" I said, "Yes" and she said, "You're gonna call yourself Anna Karina." Et c'est Coco Chanel qui ma donné mon nom. Par hasard. Et moi je savais pas qui c'était, j'ai dit, "Oui Madame." I didn't know who she was. Mais c'est la vie hein? J'avais 17 ans. C'est normal.



所以我拍了照片,然後說:「老娘可不是慈善家。」「在我們把照片刊登在報紙前妳都得當慈善家。」「法克尤。」「小姐小姐別生氣,通往大明星的康莊大道已經鋪妥。」於是我前去 ELLE 雜誌社,拉札蕾夫人和可可香奈兒首當其衝,可可香奈兒問本小姐怎麼稱呼,我答道:「本小姐就是我,安娜寇忍。」「想當女演員?」「酷炫。」「從今以後,安娜寇忍將改名為安娜卡麗娜。」這就是安娜卡麗娜的典故。我當時並不知道可可香奈兒是誰,我當時只有十七歲。



按:安娜本名 Hanne Karen Blarke Bayer。

Meeting Godard







CM: And then the legend has it, you'll tell us whether it's true or not, that Godard saw one of these pictures. Is that right?



傳說高達相中其中幾張照片,是否為真?





AK: Well, afterwards, to earn my life I did a lot of pictures because I had to live, I had to eat. So he saw me in a publicity sample, for a soap. And then he asked me to come and see him so I got this letter and it said, "Would you like to come and see me? I want you to do a little thing in 'Breathless'." And I said, "What do I have to do?" He said, "You have to take your clothes off." So I said, "No, I'm not going to do that." So I went away. And then I forgot about this because you know... Three months later he asked me again and I didn't know so I had this rendezvous and so I came and ... this telegram, because you know at that time we didn't have all the stuff we have now... And it said, "Would you like to come and see Jean-Luc Godard chez ...". Et j'ai dit, "This time it might be for the great part, the first part, the leading role." So I said, "Well, this is a joke..." and I said to my friends, you know I had friends like Claude Brasseur, and [...] , and they said, "You must go and see this guy. He did a film. It's not out yet but everybody says it's fantastic." So I said, "What is this? It's Jean-Luc Godard. You must go and see this guy." So I went there and I he said to me, "Okay, come and sign this contract tomorrow." I said, "What? What is this?" I recognised his glasses, his dark glasses and I said, "I know I have to take my clothes off." He said, "No, no. It's a political film." "What!"



錢歹賺,拍照是為了謀生。他相中我眾多照片中的香皂廣告,情書寫著:「妳願意接受我即將驚世之作《斷了氣》御用女主角的頭銜嗎?」「你想怎樣?」「脫光妳的衣服。」「神經病!」老娘立刻閃人,試圖忘記方才的尷尬。三個月後變態墨鏡男再次邀約:「妳願意和尚‧盧‧高達在某時某地見面……這次會是美好時刻女主角。」「你搞笑功力有待加強。」朋友聽完力勸我接受變態墨鏡男的邀約,聽說他拍了部片,試映結果大家都說很屌,我說:「尚‧盧‧高達是吧!」三見鍾情變態墨鏡男開口:「筆在這,白紙黑字好說話。」「這是什麼東東?」我認出那深色墨鏡後的變態臉孔,脫口而出:「我就知道,妳又要我把衣服脫光光。」「不了,這次是政治電影。」「三小?」





[laughter]

噗噗。





I cannot speak. I'm 18 years old. I would never know how to do that Monsieur. He said, "Don't you worry. You just have to do what I tell you to do." I said, "Okay. But what do we have to do?" He said, "You just come with your mother tomorrow and sign your contract." I said, "But I can't do that. I'm under-age and my mother's not in Paris and I have to send..." And he said, "Oh la la la la. Your mother, your mother. Ask your mother to take the airplane." So I said, "My mother, she never took an airplane. And she doesn't want to do that maybe." "Oh la la la."



二八佳人初長成,十八歲的我辭窮了。真不知道該怎麼拿變態墨鏡男是好。他說:「請寬心,妳只要照我說的話,一個口令一個動作就好了。」「成,現在是怎樣?」「攜母陪伴,白紙黑字。」「這將面臨法律問題,本小姐為成年,正處於被羅曼波蘭斯基意淫的階段,法定代理人,母親是也,人又不在巴黎,我得寄封白紙黑字……」「嗚啦啦!妳知道這世界上有一種大眾運輸工具叫飛機嗎?」「我媽有懼高症,從沒坐過飛機,也不想坐飛機。」「嗚啦啦!」



So after a while I phoned my mother and said, "You've got to take the airplane to come and sign. And she did."



事到如今我只好硬著頭皮請我媽克服懼高症,她做到了。

Effeminate ***


effeminate







Yahoo!奇摩字典



a. (形容詞 adjective)



          1.    女人氣的;柔弱的;無男子氣概的

                      He spoke in an effeminate voice.

                      他講起話來一副娘娘腔。





Dictionary.com



–adjective 

1. (of a man or boy) having traits, tastes, habits, etc., traditionally considered feminine, as softness or delicacy. 

2. characterized by excessive softness, delicacy, self-indulgence, etc.: effeminate luxury.  



–verb (used with object), verb (used without object) 

3. to make or become effeminate.  





The Columbia Guide to Standard American English



effeminate, female, feminine, womanly (adj.)   

 

Effeminate applies to males certain behavioral qualities usually associated with or attributed to females, and in that use it is frequently derogatory: a man labeled effeminate is usually thought to be weak and unmanly. 



Feminine is the adjective indicative of qualities usually thought to be typical of women, including some qualities traditionally considered desirable—gentleness, modesty, dependence, and the like—but now viewed less positively by many. 



Womanly, which has primarily favorable associations when applied to females, differs from feminine in suggesting qualities particularly or solely associated with maturity, especially in contrast with girlishness. 



Female is the sexually explicit adjective; its basic information is biological. 



See GENDER (1); GENDER (2); MANNISH.

The Columbia Guide to Standard American English



sanguine, sanguinary (adjs.) 

  

The Latin sanguis, "blood," is behind both of these, but their meanings differ sharply. 



The medieval sanguine humor was dominated by the blood; 

hence a sanguine person was red-cheeked, vigorous, and cheerful, and so sanguine came to mean "cheerful, optimistic, confident." 



Sanguinary, however, means "bloody, bloodthirsty, or bloodstained" and by extension "grim, cruel, murderous."

Snapping off lines as crisply as Bugs Bunny might bite into a carrot, the sculpture-bearded Downey invigorates the entire proceedings in a way no other actor ever has in this field.

—Synonyms 

1. visit, vent, unleash.





The Columbia Guide to Standard American English



wreak, wreck (vv.) 

   

Wreak once meant "avenge," but today its most frequent use is in the still-useful cliché [wreak havoc], meaning "cause destruction, devastate." 



Wreak is pronounced to rhyme either with reek or wreck, hence the occasional confusion of spelling wreak as wreck, abetted (教唆) by wreck’s somewhat similar meaning and their probably shared Indo-European etymon. 



Other verbs regularly used with havoc include raise, play, create, and work, this last sometimes raising questions about a possible confusion of wrought and wreaked. 



Best advice: stick with wreak (rhymed with reek), raise, play, and create havoc, and use these clichés sparingly.

You can’t blame Gwyneth Paltrow



看這電影動機有二:葛妮絲派特蘿 & 小勞勃道尼,但喜歡後者程度還沒有到百分之百捧場的程度,再加上鋼鐵人側面沒有鼻子儼然是個忍者龜,因此看片動機百分之百是葛妮絲派特蘿,而且我不太懂影評為什麼這麼喜歡這電影?好看程度大概比蜘蛛人第一集再難看點,無驚喜但可接受,背景故事加減擠點劇情。



Terrence Howard 是整形後的 Patrick Ewing。死不看變形金剛因為想保持童年2D印象,就像娜塔莉波波十四歲看的一樣。最後恭喜兇手葛和兔唇哥的愛情片前進坎城,相夫教子別忘了照顧影迷,妳還是美麗如往昔。東尼史塔克,我們綠巨人諾頓見。
