French May应景之作：康城60大寿金棕榈大战大盘点（鉴赏版）(2)

虽然Coen兄弟贵为两届康城金棕榈得主，但艺术价值方面，我觉得俄国的两位导演可能会score，说不定能拿下导演或者人文奖。

《日之丸》（The Sun）的导演Alexander SOKUROV在他的“权力三部曲”（关于苏联首位领导人列宁最后时光的Telets（2001）和关于日本投降前后日皇裕仁的Solntse (2005) ）之外，带来一部平民视觉的政治批判片《Alexandra》。这部戏很令人惊喜地呈现作为俄国家丑的车臣战争，通过一个前往车臣探营的母亲的视觉来反映战地的无常。

Synopsis

Chechen Republic, present day. Russian troop positions. Alexandra Nikolaevna is a grandmother who has come to see her grandson, one of the best officers in his unit. She will spend a few days here, and will discover a new world. In this male world there are no women, no warmth or comfort. Daily life is meagre, people are shy of their feelings here. Or maybe there simply isn't time or energy for feelings. Every day and every hour questions of life and death are decided here. And yet people still live there.

 

这位导演之前的作品不是太政治性就是太先锋，这次取回一个较容易引起观众共鸣的人性化格调，会不会让他的第五次康城提名取得一点回报呢？

 

因为本届的评委团中的四名女评委似乎都很受注目，我隐约觉得，较为偏柔的作品可能会受惠。所以这部以母亲为主角的战地电影似乎有点黑马相。
