剧情介绍

  Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
  Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
  As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
  The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
  Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

    这电影看得我磕磕绊绊,可能也是不太会欣赏,但是有一种加缪的感觉,说不好...

    希林很适合这部片,他站在那里,就有法比安身上该有的一切气质与执拗,那个年代有人在为女性权力抗争,搞一栋透明玻璃的高楼招募年轻男性供有钱妇人消遣,也有厌恶男性至极的女人们扎堆在一起,但却还是有濒死的老头差点打死美丽较弱的妓女。拉布德的自杀是对那个社会的绝望,“法比安淹死了”“有条鱼淹死了”那个世界烂透了

    #9th德影展#完全打破了无主之作给我的预期,用碎片化剪辑和劣质影像呈现“巴比伦柏林”的选择令人惊喜,据说原著更加意识流(下次一定看!)“我们的时代对天使并不友好”,成为不合时宜的人或小丑是相似的时代下主流之外的人的唯二选择,片中的迷乱魏玛似曾相识。最后有汤希的现场连线,爱生活,爱汤希,爱人道主义的歌德学院。

    因为盼星星盼月亮了一年多中途也因自身原因错过了一次,所以这次实在不想再等就从葡萄牙德国电影节那花了四欧元租了72小时并伴着葡语字幕看完了整部,人生又添一奇妙经历🥲……结果是我没有怎么看懂,希望今年有机会重温。看下来的感觉是,拍摄意图很复古(甚至能看到用footage设定场景再拍新镜头这种,上学期正好讲到了),但拍摄手法让这部电影感觉有丝混乱。这个结局呜呜呜呜………希宝大概是贡献了他演艺生涯中最大的裸露戏和最认真的打架戏吧。

    #VIFF2021 拍得真不太行。开场三分钟长镜从现代穿越回90年前,喻示全球加速右转的当下与山雨欲来风满楼的1931并无二异,各种娴熟运用的技法让人着迷。可后面却越来越泄气,镜头也变得平庸,所谓的“渐入佳境”无非就是叙事更主流,再无出彩之处。如果这个故事交给娄烨来拍,起码能短三分之一,也会更有厚重感。

  • 贵欣彩 9小时前 :

    平实,甚至可以说平淡,几乎不加任何修饰。这与其说是一部电影,不如说是一堂历史课。让我们能够通过一场会议的内部视角,去观察这个历史性的决定在这样一种体制中是如何做出的。这是一堂异常昂贵的课程,也是一场始终未被充分吸取的教训。可以肯定的是,类似的事情还会发生,类似的事情也正在发生。

  • 章涵菱 5小时前 :

    法比安纯粹又迷茫,是疯狂时代里我们每一个人。镜头太棒,三个小时一点都不觉得冗长。片后连线汤姆希林,他说拍摄时期的他处于迷茫状态,恰好和片中男主状态有重合,于是能更好演绎。

    1.从柏林地铁站开始,把我一下子拉回德国的1931,复古的拍摄技巧,摇晃的镜头,胶片感的色调,语音书般的旁白…立刻让我置身于那个动荡、迷茫、躁动的时代…这是我看过的配乐、摄影、旁白、表演配合得最好的电影,没有之一。如同同时在看小说、话剧、电影和经历生活。 2.关于结局,令我叹为观止的结局,不会游泳的Fabian沉入水底,他的灵魂在火焰中死去…还有每天三点等待他的爱人… 3.活着只是侥幸,死亡才是必然,关于Labude,他的悲剧一开始就注定了,世界容不下一个超脱的圣人…他被拉走,彻底和我们告别的时候,亮起的是烟花。 4.这是最有默契的恋人,也是最动人、克制的爱情故事… 几乎所有台词都有荡魂摄魄的力量… 5.一部纯粹的电影,触碰到了人类的终极问题,生命、爱情、死亡 6.这部电影还有第二个名字
