33屆電影節之二 《非洲有個羅里活》
討論電影: 非洲有個羅里活 Peace Mission (Dorothee Wenner, 2008)
其實呢套片拍得真係麻麻,好多Cut Away都係亂黎,個節奏又古怪,
冇端端影埋AMAA個大佬做Gym, 又影Peace (主人翁,非洲電影學院大獎創辦人)既兄弟,完全不理解

前記
電影節今晚開幕,明日上班,本得到一張2145場的票子,但繼續浪費,以免無力工作。本來撥給許鞍華《天水圍的夜與霧》的時間,部份用來完成這篇選片筆記。
第十二年看香港國際電影節,第十三屆,第十二次自己買票。剛好一打(十二)。工作量增,星期一至五仍只望晚九點半場,但也不敢一星期三晚如是。星期六日加公眾假期則未必天天三四場,原因是吸引的片不夠多——自去年開始,自覺能吸引自己,或是真的好而未看過的電影,漸漸少了。圈點之後,正節期二十二場,節後回顧展十三場;我跟影友打趣道,恐怕再過些年,對電影節所放老片的興趣會對新片濃。
以下是今年的零碎選片筆記。
奇魅
荷里活和寶里活都不再陌生,努里活(Nollywood)除了經本地報章小專欄介紹,和伸手可及而不看的「你管兒」(Youtube)視頻外,未嘗一顧。《Peace Mission》可當作新味入門。乍看Peace一字,以為片子把尼日利亞劇情片興盛等同和平行動,一讀訂票冊子的英文簡介,才知Peace是受訪女士的名字。希望片子是DV製作,跟努里活大片的載體看齊,那就風味倍添了。
《The Good, the Bad, the Weird》是東亞式的北美牛仔片,有其神但人和地已非正宗,預示古怪。選《Chandni Chowk to China》和《Jade Warrior》為的都是看看外國配中國,會有如何的好戲。
導演們的「連續片」
寧浩和我同齡,追看他的新片《瘋狂的賽車》實想到「同齡」這一因素,另一原因是想延續從他短片前作《奇蹟世界》(2007)得到的速度感。賈樟柯好像繼續沿河溯源,《二十四城記》由似三峽往重慶,《河上的愛情》擺明見河。
是枝裕和、Atom Egoyan和Abbas Kiarostami都是熟名字,基阿魯斯達米的《Shirin》,會帶來多少張鮮明的臉?
老片:劉別謙、俞賢穆、Bergman、Antonioni
前些年電影節有Ernst Lubitsch的回顧展,看過的影友紛紛說他的笑戲寫的如何精到。今年電影節帶來他的一部默片《Pharoah’s Wife》,看看無聲是否勝有聲。
俞賢穆的《誤發彈》在年前的韓國電影回顧展看過,肌理豐富,人人有戲,值得一看。然因為看過,不妨把目光轉往另兩部今年選映的後作:《Kim’s Daughter》和《Rainy Days》。褒曼回顧展橫跨兩年,今回選了六場,比較隨意。安東尼奧尼的回顧展號稱全展,《La Notte》、《Blow Up》或《Beyond the Clouds》沒趁機重溫,《中國》也因時間不合放棄了,希望再看《Red Desert》時不要睡著。
另一些選擇
《Agrarian Utopia》是今年電影節唯一泰片代表。《About Elly》是因為伊朗。《Che》上下兩集一場價錢,但說「一張票睇到笑」確有點褻瀆味。《選舉》去年錯過了,今兒找到機會看一次。其餘選片,暫不細表。

談及電影”臥虎”
Watching the unexpectedly solid Wo Hu (2006). Wong Jing is widely known as the great vulgarian of Hong Kong cinema; nothing is too lowbrow to be tossed into his movies. I like some of his work, but I worried when the opening credits of a serious picture like this listed Wong as producer. Despite my concerns, this turned out to be a strong cops-and-triads pic. The presence of Eric Tsang, Francis Ng, and Jordan Chan helps a great deal, and Marco Mak’s direction is efficient enough. The real strength is the script, with a plot that is unusually taut for a Hong Kong movie…
電影”天行者”
Seeing James Yuen’s curious Heavenly Mission (2006)…
One of many crime movies screened in the Panorama section of the festival, this is neither the worst nor the best. The plot proceeds spasmodically, and our mysterious protagonist seems a little too passive. Nice to see Ti Lung again, though, playing an aging and pacific triad boss. Nice also to see for once Thailand treated not as hell but rather as purgatory…
電影”給他們一個機會”
Enjoying in an old-fashioned way Herman Yau’s Give Them a Chance (2003): The notion of a movie about how HK teenagers become breakdancing stars didn’t seem promising, but it turns out to be a sweet piece of work. Yau has always had sympathy for grassroots life here, and he makes his ensemble plausible and sympathetic.
At a time when most HK directors seem wall-eyed for the Mainland box-office, here is a movie that is utterly local. It even has two English titles, Give Them a Chance and Give Me a Chance, just going to show that it wasn’t made for us Anglos. Actually, though, it speaks to anybody…
還有與Athena Tsui去購物, 和Raymond Phathanavirangoon吃晚飯, 去了看舞獅…

關於《鎗火》
無他的,真的很喜歡《鎗火》,片中很多的鏡頭,很多的片段都十分經典,未知有沒有人沒有看過,但不得不提的是於荃灣廣場內的鎗戰一段,片末於樂口福五人同桌,一頓飯後的鎗戰,甚至片中多個鏡頭擺位,都是近年十分經典的作品。
關於《Scrap Heaven》
這一類的日本電影近年於日本市場都很充裕,以年輕的青春演員拍攝一些充滿年青味道的電影作品,《天堂失格》其實真的很有年青味道的作品,但可惜的是過了火位,過了火,就沒有追看的感覺了。(…閱讀全文)
