北京星期天
Sunday in Peking
 

《北京星期天》是法國新浪潮散文電影導演馬凱的北京遊記、流動的回憶照相本,也是他第一部商業發行的電影。1956年一出手就在電影節擊敗雷奈、丹美等勁敵獲得短片大獎。幕後參與皆一時之選,Pierre Barbaud(曾擔任《廣島之戀》、《去年在馬倫巴》演員)配樂,Georges Delerue樂隊指揮,Agnes Varda中文參議。1955年正值共和國六週年,馬凱與藝文界代表團參訪中國六週,在北京待了三週,紀錄下天安門前五彩繽紛的國慶遊行,北京居民健康活力的運動神態。鏡頭下色彩斑斕的北京變化快速、充滿希望,搭配旁白思索中西文化、古今北京,為創傷前的中國留下珍貴紀錄。

“Nothing is more beautiful than Paris, except the memory of Paris. And nothing is more beautiful than Peking, except the memory of Peking. And I, in Paris, I remember Peking and I count my treasures.” Sunday in Peking is French New Wave essayist auteur Chris Marker’s Beijing travelogue, a photographic memory album, and his first commercially distributed film. It won the short film award at the Tours Festival in 1956, trumping contenders such as Alain Resnais and Jacques Demy. Back in 1955, Chris Marker, Paul Ricoeur, Armand Gatti were among the French delegation invited to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. Marker observed China for six weeks and spent three weeks in Beijing documenting the colorful, spirited parade in front of Tiananmen and the Beijing citizens’ display of gymnastics and physical exercise. The thoughtful commentary track adds to the colorful images meditations on Beijing’s past and future in comparison with Western civilization, leaving precious testimony to a pre-traumatic China.
