導演「跟隨」兩個阿富汗少年橫跨四分一個地球走上偷渡之旅,「印證」他們悲哀的故事—以紀錄片的手法拍攝劇情片,抽取後者的人工化虛偽,注入紀錄片鮮有的人物側寫,就像電波少年歷險之旅︰做足準備設好框架拍攝,讓非職業演員永遠出人意表的反應感動人心。米高溫達波頓的《情慾九歌》鬧得滿城風雨,然而這部批判性與感性兼備的佳作更顯出其功力。榮獲柏林影展金熊獎最佳導演獎。

Enayat and Jamal are Afghan refugees who live in a camp in Peshawar, the capital of Afghanistan. They plan an escape to Great Britain with the help of people smugglers. Their dangerous journey leads them along the "silk road" through Pakistan, Iran and Turkey towards London. They don't know another analogous tragedy of Dover port will happen in the container they hide in. Michael Winterbottom's docudrama is not just a road movie but a human document of urgency and commitment that allows us to experience the humanity of the people some contemptuously refer to as refugees. It steers clear of direct politics, but it is clearly a slap on the recent hardening of European immigration policies.

我們會要求發落無期徒刑的少年犯,面對被肉體囚禁多時的靈魂卻顧左右而言他。雷蒙游泳時遇上意外,自此步入長達近三十年的植物人生活,在病床上看著同一個山同一片天。身旁有喧鬧的紛爭,女律師想替雷蒙爭取安樂死合法化,兄長想重燃弟弟的意志,卻沒有人了解他的真正需要。《不速之嚇》後艾美利巴回歸探討人倫的作品,仍保持前作《沒有最後一課》質疑現實制度荒謬的取態。奧斯卡最佳外語片得主。

Sea Inside is a story of Spaniard Ramón Sampedro, a quadriplegic who fought a 30-year campaign to win the right of euthanasia. The film explores Ramón's relationships with two women: Julia, a lawyer who supports his cause, and Rosa, a local woman who wants to convince him that life is worth living. Through his love, these two women are inspired to accomplish things they never previously thought possible. Despite his wish to die, Ramón taught everyone to encounter the meaning, value and preciousness of life. Though he could not move physically, he had an uncanny ability to move others. The director imposes a neutral value judgments allowing each character full range to express his or her feelings effectively and, at times, movingly. Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Academy Award.

下一站天國 After Life

日本 Japan / 1998 / 118mins /

導演 Dir: 是枝裕和 Hirokazu Koreeda
演員 Cast: Arata、寺島進 Susumu Terajima、香川京子 Kyoko Kagawa

下一站天后又好、下一站彩虹又好,誰的尾站不是天國?原來在踏入天國之前,我們要選取最堪回味的片段,那時的快樂便可長留心中,但餘下的會全被抹掉。每個已矣的死者,嘴角帶著溫暖的微笑,回看人生不同場口,是歡笑多於唏噓。是枝裕和 (《誰知赤子心》) 空手入白刃之作,平和而淡然的手法包裝著犀利的構思,關於死亡的世俗化想像一概抹掉,因為死正是生的一個句點而已。

When people die, they have to spend a week with counselors to choose a session of memory which they can take to eternity. They describe the memory to the staff who works with a crew to film it and screen it at week's end. Twenty two dead arrive that week, assigned to three counselors and a trainee. For some the choice is easy and they are instantly able to provide the moment. And those who are unable to find their perfect moment need extra help to recall past loves and lost days of their youth. Combining documentary reflections with perfectly works of actors, the film's tone, style and performances are simple yet immensely powerful.

一生何求 Eternity and a Day
25/12 (Sun) 12:00noon

希臘 法國 意大利 Greece France Italy / 1998 / 132 mins /
希臘語對白,中英文字幕
In Greek with English & Chinese Subtitles
導演 Dir: 安哲羅普洛斯 Theo Angelopoulos
演員 Cast: 般奴堅斯 Bruno Ganz、Isabelle Renauld

要不是《希臘三部曲》劇本太吸引,本片可能已成為安哲羅普洛斯下山之作。秉承希臘哲人的理性,畫面卻不失詩化,廣為人所認識的長鏡頭運用氣定神閒,堪稱到達意識流電影的極致。詩人苦於一生人未有代表作,展開創作之旅時遇上聰明小人蛇,從他身上投射出自己的影子,結局更是教人對這位殿堂級導演的過人創造力而讚嘆。康城影展金棕櫚及評審團大獎得主。

A dying author spends his final days reminiscing on what he sees as a failed life. His time spent wandering the gloom is interspersed with flashbacks of his wife and their home near the sea. In his wanderings around the city he meets an Albanian refugee child and the two share a few moments of friendship before each goes on to his destiny. Angelopoulos never intends to be the director who is just there to entertain you, but Eternity and a Day is easily the most "accessible" film he's yet made. Nevertheless, the film remains powerful and haunting in the manner of Angelopoulos' best works
