【心得】《The French Dispatch/法蘭西特派週報》電影心得

/有雷/


法蘭西特派週報,一份雜誌,一則小品,三個故事與一篇訃聞,我會說這是一本藏著記憶氣味的小鎮風光。


現在進行的彩色畫面,如同閱讀文字的黑白畫面,在雜誌中穿插的彩頁,情緒高潮的彩色瞬間。看第一次《法蘭西特派週報》時眼花繚亂、再也無法吸收過多訊息到只能跟著節奏做出反應。第二次看的時候,會發現更多巧思細節,這就是Wes Anderson電影作品的魅力。讓人目不轉睛、順著流線思考,再荒誕的劇情都順理成章。我們看文章的時候,是不是也會在回頭重新閱讀的過程中找到更多樂趣?

尚未出刊的雜誌,溺愛記者的主編正在審稿,任性地讓咖啡廳服務到家,印刷截稿的時間就要到了,但一篇都不能少。

第一篇:小品。記者親自帶領著我們進入小鎮―安威的過往與今日,騎著單車經過興建的商場工地、響起音樂的咖啡廳、高牆內的瘋人院、經常淹死人的河道、準備深夜槍戰的街頭。沒有華麗的包裝,只有真實風貌的小鎮。

第二篇,記者站在演講臺上,與觀眾分享監禁於瘋人院內畫家的崛起故事,耐力超越運動員的冷酷獄警,處於抓狂邊緣的畫商,終於聳立農田稻作中的溼壁畫。藝術的價值是被賦予,或是本身的存在。

第三篇,記者應該保持中立報導的學生革命運動,是舞臺劇也不是舞臺劇,面對刻意選擇的現況是否應該感到哀傷,修訂版的宣言及打字聲,已經寫了一千字,不許偷看。理想與現實的道路,是並存還是被吞噬。

第四篇,記者接受電視採訪,挑戰過目不忘卻回憶起舉辦在意圖使人迷路警局內的餐桌上奇遇,採訪傳說中的料理大廚,意外陷入父子情深的深夜警匪追逐。採訪的內容寫下了,在垃圾桶的紙團中。

訃聞,是主編也是雜誌的訃聞,由全體記者們共同編寫,今天有人生日,但沒人會吹熄蠟燭,在辦公室內不許哭。

藏在《法蘭西特派週報》中的氣味清晰可見,本不是用來保養皮膚的松節油,在床上與桌子邊緣的烤焦土司,藏在小蘿蔔中苦苦的鹽。

使用Vlog、學術演講、紀錄片、舞臺劇、電視採訪與漫畫等,多種不同媒體方式來呈現。運用熟悉的平行與垂直鏡頭,突發的手持畫面、進入迷幻環繞與定格畫面所結合而成電影體驗。

準備再看幾次。

擁抱過往、接受一切、掌握命運的Cody Fern

下文節錄自 Cody Fern 的 Instagram (目前該照片及文章已刪除) Incoming essay... I'm not a person who likes to look back. Lately, my life has been overflowing with wonder and magic. I'm happier than I've ever been. But I've also noticed a rising anxiety - especially with social media. I’m a private person. I prefer mystery. But I'm pulled into the past every time I see a photo from a long (and purposefully forgotten) era - a photo that I didn't choose to put out into the world. It's confronting. Cringing, I look at these old pictures and think about who I am now and who I was then and the wide gulf that stretches out between us. Who was he? Why did he dress like that? What's with that hideous haircut? Why wasn't he 'cooler' or at least, why didn't people like him? Why didn't he like himself? I judge him and all of his choices. The gulf gets wider and my anxiety grows. Here's the thing - I was nerdy, sensitive, awkward and afraid. I was a day dre...

《Call Me By Your Name 以你的名字呼喚我》中譯修訂 page 156 我在等你

---原文--- Looking at him now from the balustrade, I felt something so tender for him that it reminded me how eagerly I had rushed to B. to catch him before he'd even made it into post office. This was the best person I'd ever known in my life. I had chosen him well. I opened the gate and skipped down the several rocks and reached him. "I was waiting for you," I said. "I thought you'd gone to sleep. I even thought you didn't want to." "No, Waiting. I just turned the lights off." I looked up to our house. The window shutters were all closed. I bent down and kissed him on his neck. It was the first time I had kissed him with feeling, not just desire. He put his arm around me. Harmless, if anyone saw. "What were you doing?" I asked. "Thinking." "About?" "Things. Going back to the States. The course I have to teach this fall. The book. You." "Me?" "Me?" He was mimicking my...
