(討論電影:超時空泡泡女 Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust(馬場康雄,2007))
很有趣的是,故事的進展中還擔心著能否阻止條例公布的時候,「歷史」已隨著年輕的下川路得知真弓是自己女兒的一刻,改寫了過來(其實是未來的真理子影響下出現的結果)。回到家裡「教女」的那一幕,其實是反映了90年代日本人看似是墮落,其實道德界線還是存在的。(…閱讀全文)

出發點不是為自己,是為國家,相信只有強烈民族意識的人民才會這樣做。幾經波折,最後主角將任務完成,回到現在,發現除了國家經濟恢復,也驚訝自己的生活也改變過來,這是沒預料到的,也是為別人付出的獎勵。(…閱讀全文)

(討論電影:惡女花魁 Sakuran(蜷川實花,2007))
片名翻譯表現出她是個「惡女」,但是除了「爛口」及打架,確找不出她「惡」在那裡。
反而那種我行我素,敢作敢為,才是江戶時代「惡女」的要素。
即如師傅出道滿十年引退,當家花魁為愛郎而死於非命,都是在吉原這片煙花之地「安守本份」。
她卻自踏入吉原那一天開始,便想著要離開,即使成了花魁,也沒有放下這個念頭。
只是離開的方式,由自己一聲不響,變成嫁入名門而已。(…閱讀全文)

(討論電影:武士之一分 Love and Honour(山田洋次,2006))
含劇情描述
姑且不說木村說對白現代感重有點古怪,傻氣的面容及正經非常的表情所帶來的落差,可說是演活角色的重點。
雖然失去了工作能力,但作為武士仍有一些東西是需要堅持,需要靠自己雙手去保護,即使是以性命作代價。
不只是武士,每個人都有些值得自己去堅持的信念,去保護的物事。
至於是否值得豁出性命,就看那些信念物事對自己有多重要。
若果遇上新之丞般的情形,你會是拚死一鬥,還是忍辱偷生?。(…閱讀全文)

(討論電影:唱盤上的單行道 One Way Street on A Turntable(麥海珊,2006))
含劇情描述
山田洋次對上班族的無奈,一部比一部透徹,所以《武士之一分》的黑色幽默特別多,如下級武士從未見過藩主,中毒後終於有此機會,受盡庫蚊纏身卻只換來一句「平身」,對追求虛名極盡諷刺之能事。日語中「一分」可以翻譯成中文裡「自我」、「自身」,山田洋次心目中的武士自身,除了被侮辱時要懂挺身而出外,還是珍惜與家人的平凡生活最要緊。(…閱讀全文)

讚了一大輪,其實也掩蓋不了故事方面的薄弱。沒有驚喜情節也沒有動人場面,結局時主角的決定其實也不太容易令人信服。是原著問題嗎?日本漫畫通常都有這毛病的--興畫面營造而薄故事內涵。

《超時空泡泡女》故事天馬行空有點荒謬,橋段也一般,一邊看一邊已估到下一步主角會發生甚麼事,但就是看得人開心。導演馬場康雄在座談會上說,電影靈感來自「回到未來」和迪士尼世界,於是拍了這部帶點科幻的電影。(閱讀全文)

Fair Trade 就是解決所有問題的方法嗎?咖啡豆農民的困境,就只是大財團對農民;和大國對小國的剝削這麼簡單嗎? Fair Trade 的理念是為農作物加上一個溢價,在這個情況之下,農民還會去冒險轉型嗎?(…閱讀全文)

Sway (Japan, 2006) (吊橋上的秘密)
…Sway is most cleverly and aptly titled. For one thing, a key fateful event in this intriguing film takes place on a swaying bridge. For another, the title also can to be taken as referring to the way in which opinions, including those of the offering’s main character, can swither or even swing from one point to another…
Granted that I am not the best person to judge but the film additionally struck me as having provided some very perceptive portraits of a Japan that’s more socially heterogenous than many people are apt to assume…
I Don’t Want To Sleep Alone (Taiwan & Malaysia, 2006) (黑眼圈)
I think it only fair to suggest that a viewing of this film requires a large amount of patience; something that many in the audience whose screening I attended appear to have, as they gave the work a generally positive reception. On the other hand, there also were a few walkouts…
Cold Blade (Hong Kong, 1970) (龍沐香 - 楚原) (非HKIFF電影)
Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust (Japan, 2007) (超時空泡泡女 )
Twenty. That was the number of times, believe it or not, that I counted the audience at the sold-out screening of this screwball time-travel offering were moved to not only roar with laughter but actually loudly applaud in reaction to something that they had gleefully seen unfold on the Hong Kong Cultural Centre’s Grand Theatre’s massive screen!
…what ultimately makes this standout movie work so well has to be the bravura performances of its main actor and actresses…

前言:最古老的行業
有人說性工作是最古老的行業,《惡女花魁》也是以古老的藝伎行業作題材。無可否認,「妓」之為業基本上是男權下的一種壓迫性的產物,將女性的身體像貨物一般擺弄放賣,以滿足男性之欲望為要。而當中的女性在這個大氛圍之下,在這碩大無朋的男權屋簷下自有求生之道,在壓迫之中體現自由,在有限程度下自我發展。正如片中的「金魚」比喻一樣,藝伎就像活在水缸中的金魚一樣,在這個特定條件下才更顯妖嬈。

最喜歡此片不自命高不可攀,懂得偶而運用輕鬆的調子,在帶點繃緊嚴肅的故事推進當中,鬆弛一下觀眾的神經,而非一股腦兒地全程把觀眾的情緒「扯行」。劍拔弩張得恰如其份,亦多得飾演家僕德平的笹野高史的精采演出泡製笑料。(…閱讀全文)

在電影節遇上《超時空泡泡女》,可以抱著觀看《回到未來》的心情,投入劇情上的驚險刺激,開懷大笑一番;可以為銀幕上的阿部寬和廣末涼子著迷;還可以為了飯島愛和飯島直子客串亮相而拍案叫絕。然而,日本為何在此時此刻出現這樣的一部電影,也是值得思考的。影片以日本經濟泡沫爆破作為背景。正如經濟低迷時期的香港以懷舊潮流來麻醉止痛一樣,導演馬場康夫在《超》片裡,就帶領觀眾懷了一趟 1990 年的舊,玩弄所謂的集體記憶,以時代差異與時空錯置來製造出大量笑料,讓大家暫時忘卻現實裡的痛。

電影學者談及多齣電影:
Paolo Gioli (保羅.治奧利)
Traces of traces (1969)
My Glass Eye (1971)
Anonimatograph (1972)
Paolo Gioli has been making experimental films since the 1960s. From one angle, his approach converges with the work of filmmakers like Ken Jacobs and Ernie Gehr. Gioli employs optical printing and other techniques to halt, fragment, and superimpose images, many of them from found footage…
Cold Blade (1970) (龍沐香) (楚原)
Cold Blade (1970) is a very different affair. This swordplay classic directed by the versatile Chor Yuen for Cathay has been fairly hard to see…
Cold Blade begins with a graceful title sequence showing our two heroes practicing their signature moves in slow motion and floating aerobatics. These maneuvers will of course prove important at the climax. The story was written for the screen, but it’s as full of twists and double-dealing as a martial-arts novel…
Bubble Fiction: Boom or Bust (2007) - by Baba Yasuo (超時空泡泡女)
Here’s one Asian film that won’t be remade in Hollywood; it’s already an unembarrassed riff on Back to the Future…
Naturally, Bubble Fiction is filled with retro music, dances, fashions, and hair styles, with plenty of in-jokes about J-pop culture and references to its Hollywood source…
The director painstakingly reconstructed the Tokyo of the time, including elaborate desserts and hand-punched train tickets…
On the Edge (2006) (黑白道) (邱禮濤)
On the Edge (2006) from the Herman Yau retrospective here at the festival, is one of the very best…
Thanks to a flashback structure, we see Nick’s rise in the gang juxtaposed to his slump once he’s back in uniform. Without being heavy-handed, the film juxtaposes a scene of Nick trying to return to civilian life with a parallel moment in his Triad days. It isn’t easy to advance two stories at once, but Yau manages it easily…
