史楚錫流浪記 Stroszek (1977)

德國導演Werner Herzog的作品一向__, 早就知曉
適逢個人現實生活近排錯折連連
今晚睇完尼套 "Stroszek"
都幾明白當年加速ian curis自決的源由

其實自己對該片的結語只有一句: 木馬也要繼續轉圈 ...
人浮於事, 既然不甘自決, 唯有繼續轉圈
既然沒有那種活出彩虹的命,還不是____

トニー滝谷 東尼瀧谷 Tony Takitani (2004)







插畫師東尼瀧谷的母親早逝,父親是一個到處流浪的爵士樂手。他那充滿混血兒味道的名字,更令他成為同輩嘲笑的對象。既沒家庭又沒朋友的他,從小便被孤獨和寂寞包圍。當他遇上了比他年輕15年的英子時,兩人即墮入愛河並結為夫婦。溫暖的婚姻生活令東尼漸漸擺脫孤獨。正當東尼以為這是他人生最幸福的時候,英子愛購買名牌服飾的習慣卻越來越失控,購得癖不斷蠶食二人的婚姻,更令英子失去性命。無法接受現實的東尼,找來一位與英子長得一樣的Hisako,並要她每天都穿上英子的衣服….


《東尼瀧谷》改編自村上春樹的短篇小說,導演市川準把村上春樹小說中的「喪失感」和「孤獨感」完全表現出來,再加上[土反]本龍一的音樂,令電影散發著村上春樹作品中獨有的孤寂感。電影由ISSEY尾形和宮澤理惠主演。《東尼瀧谷》在多個國際電影節中均獲得非常好的成績,包括在2004年8月舉行的瑞士羅加諾影展中贏得評審員特別大獎等。



愛,豈能複製!— 東尼瀧谷


影片改編自村上春樹的同名短篇小說,導演市川準拍出了最濃烈的寂寞情緒:慘淡的色調、虛無的構圖,再加上阪本龍一的簡約配樂,將村上春樹筆下的都市孤獨很好地呈現在銀幕上。宮澤里惠一人分飾兩角,帶領觀眾走出憂鬱的囚牢,好像只差最後一步,又好像是漫漫長路。導演市川準說:「我過去也試過改編文學作品,但這一次不同。若果仍依照舊有模式去製作的話,就無法傳達原著那份深沉氣氛。所以,我採用象徵手法去處理,令他們變得很虛幻的人工化味道。我也想觀眾為角色留下深刻印像,便要求尾形一成與宮澤里惠一人分飾兩角。還有,我利用了旁白,他低沉的聲線簡直是為這部電影而設,讓觀眾與電影世界保持一段距離:一方面可以100%傳達原意,一方面又不受敘事方式約束。這些,都是建基於要『回應村上春樹的文字世界』。」

聽風的歌 (風の歌を聴け) Hear the Song of the Wind(1980)






聽風的歌 (風の歌を聴け) Hear the Song of the Wind(1980)

村上春樹曾入選日本芥川賞及奪群像新人獎的處男長篇小說,原著洋溢着青春的徬徨迷惘,以都市人的感覺和 60年代嘲諷的眼光,描述充滿「空白」與「虛無」的逝去青春。


據說因為導演大森一樹是村上春樹的學弟,劇本又忠於原著,所以才獲授權拍成電影,可是影片被指不太能表現到原著中那種輕鬆中帶點悲哀的感覺,單看預告片便十足電視肥皂劇,有傳村上自此片後,已不大願意其長篇小說拍成電影。

Burst City (1982)

Directors: • Sogo Ishii
Irreverent, Manic, Anarchic And Energetic - Burst City Is Pure Punk!
Set in a barren, futuristic Tokyo of highways and wastelands, a rowdy group of punk bands and their fans gather to protest the construction of a nuclear power plant. Riot police and the factory owner's yakuza friends soon move in to break it up. However, the arrival of a pair of mysterious, metal-clad bikers and a revolt among the disgruntled construction crew makes for a situation that spirals dangerously out of control...
Directed by Sogo Ishii (Electric Dragon 80,000V, Gojoe, Angel Dust), Burst City boasts an impressive lineup of early 80's Japanese punk bands, including The Stalin, Battle Rockers, The Roosters, and Inu. An eclectic mix of Mad Max-style imagery with yakuza elements, filtered though a punk sensibility, Burst City reveals the seeds of many of the developments in contemporary Japanese cinema and beyond. Brimming with incredible energy and first-rate rock 'n' roll, Burst City is a lost masterpiece of extreme cinema that has influenced everyone from Takashi Miike to Shinya Tsukamoto.

Electric Dragon 80,000V (2001)



Actors: • Masakatsu Funaki • Tadanobu Asano • Masatoshi Nagase
Writers: • Sogo Ishii
Producers: • Takenori Sento
Directors: • Sogo Ishii

There Is No Higher Voltage!

Reptile investigator Dragon Eye Morrison has possessed high-voltage superpowers ever since a childhood accident at a power station. With megawatts of power coursing through his body, he discharges his surplus energy by playing high voltage rock 'n' roll with his electric guitar. He spends his days looking for lost lizards in the alleyways of Tokyo, and his nights fighting the reptilian part of his brain that is making him increasingly violent. A shadowy figure named Thunderbolt Buddha soon surfaces and begins following Dragon Eye about town. A former TV repairman turned super-villain, Thunderbolt Buddha uses his high-powered love of technological devices to aid in his evil plans. Powered-up to the max in his electrical body suit, the two finally come face to face in an all out electrified rock 'n' roll battle for the supremacy of Tokyo!

Starring Japanese megastar Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Last Life in the Universe, Zatoichi) as Dragon Eye Morrison, and directed by cult icon Sogo Ishii (Burst City), Gojoe, Angel Dust), also starring Masatoshi Nagase (Suicide Circle, Hidden Blade, Stereo Future) as Thunderbolt Buddah. A hyperkinetic descent into electro-charged punk madness, set to an eardrum-shattering industrial punk/noise soundtrack by Mach 1.67, Electric Dragon 80,000V transcends film to become an overwhelming, all-immersing experience. Nothing will prepare you for the assault on the senses that is Electric Dragon 80,000V!



Carnival Of Souls (1962)




Actors: • Candace Hilligoss • Sidney Berger • Frances Feist • Herk Harvey

Writers: • John Clifford

Producers: • Herk Harvey

Directors: • Herk Harvey

Herk Harvey's macabre masterpiece gained a cult following through late night television and has been bootlegged for years. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, Carnival of Souls was intended to have the "look of a Bergman" and "feel of a Cocteau," and succeeds with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score. Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) survives a drag race in a rural Kansas town, then takes a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her to an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Criterion is proud to present the ultimate special edition of his eerily effective B-movie classic that continues to inspire filmmakers today.

Writers: • Gyorgy Palfi
Directors: • Gyorgy Palfi
From the nightmarish imagination of Gyorgy Palfi comes Taxidermia, a surrealistic assault on the senses following three generations of men (an obese speed eater, an embalmer of giant cats, and a man who shoots flames out of his penis), who are all damned from birth.
