被譽為艾慕杜華歷來最成熟的作品。老公遠在外地行軍,好友又嫌疑是老公情婦,家事一塌胡塗,言情小說家獨守空房思年華,中女失婚之苦有誰知?與其孤獨地對著打字機,好友建議她到雜誌社投稿改變一下生活習慣。自我重建如火如荼,會否因夫君的回歸而毀於一旦?導演今次收起七情六慾以寫實通俗劇作主題,大膽一新其創作風格。榮獲提名西班牙電影大獎高美獎最佳女主角及最佳導演。

Leo Macias, writer of wildly popular romantic novels, leads a shattered life with a failing marriage, a bickering mother and a neurotic sister. Struck by writer's block, she becomes a newspaper critic under a pseudonym, and trashes her own bestsellers as sentimental and simplistic. A surprisingly restrained film by Almodovar (no drag queen or raunchy sex), THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET delivers, with his off-the-wall humour, heartfelt messages about love lost, loneliness and self-rediscovery.

改編自村上春樹同名小說。孤獨精東尼瀧谷自小無依無靠,他第一次感受到生之樂趣是邂逅英子的那天,可惜婚後失控的物慾間接令英子死於非命。他沒法再度忍受寂寞,便找來替身穿上亡妻的衣服。導演特意用俐落的影像演繹作者意識流文字的淡然優雅,那滯在喉頭卻上心頭的失落感更深深刻入觀眾腦海。連影片長度都拿捏得恰到好處,市川準沒有令廣大的村上春樹迷失望。瑞士盧卡諾影展國際影評協會獎及評審團特別獎得主。

The first Haruki Murakami's work to be adapted for cinema, TONY TAKITANI is a story of a technical illustrator whose solitary childhood and self-sufficient life leave him isolated from the outside world until he meets and falls instantly in love with Eiko the shopaholic, fifteen years his junior. With gorgeously sparse score by Ryuichi Sakamoto and a faithful script eloquently executed, the film successfully translates Murakami's sense of solitude and strange otherworldliness to the screen.

 

何必偏偏玩謝我 Adaptation
17 Sept 12:15pm
美國 USA / 2002 / 114 mins /
英語對白,中文字幕 In English with Chinese Subtitles
導演 Dir: 史畢克鍾斯 Spike Jonze
演員 Cast: 尼古拉斯基治 Nicolas Cage、梅麗史翠普 Meryl Streep、基斯谷巴 Chris Cooper

鬼才編劇憑《玩謝麥高維治》一舉成名,但靈感隨即枯竭,人到中年無嘢好玩,唯有擺自己上檯,揭瘡疤走偏鋒繼續天馬行空。主角身陷創作危機,片商為表支持,叫他改編暢銷書就算交差,但「創意二手飯」原來唔係咁易啃。要是你亦曾有過失眠、心煩、性無能等病徵,恭喜你,相信你亦如筆者一樣擁有無限創意潛力。榮獲提名奧斯卡與金球獎最佳劇本。

The agony, loneliness and insecurity of the screenwriting process are vividly and painfully brought to slovenly life in this self-deprecating, biting and witty feature written by Charlie/Donald Kaufman, who attempts to adapt Susan Orlean's non-fiction book The Orchid Thief, the story of a plant dealer who clones rare orchids then sells to collectors. The plot here does not matter. It is the seamless blending of fantasy and reality in this outrageously offbeat comedy that deserves rapturous applause.

 

Capote 冷血字傳
24 Sept 12:15pm
美國 USA / 2005 / 115 mins /
英語對白,中文字幕 In English with Chinese Subtitles
導演 Dir: 賓納米拿 Bennett Miller
演員 Cast: 菲臘西摩荷夫曼 Philip Seymour Hoffman、嘉芙蓮堅娜 Catherine Keener、基頓哥連斯 Clifton Collins Jr.、 麥克彼歷格 Mark Pellegrino

《珠光寶氣》作者杜魯門為求以驚天血案作題材,他主動與死囚建立友誼,一於讓殺人犯做文學實驗品。可是彼此關係漸變複雜,既要扮憐憫搏信任,又想他們早點正法以便作品出版,良知與私慾正不斷折磨著他。導演全程不作道德批判,卻主張以奇鋒演繹以表露主角深層矛盾,菲臘西摩荷夫曼的舉手頭足與高八度聲線讓奇情小說家變得有血有肉,金球獎與奧斯卡雙料影帝榮譽確是實至名歸。

The brutal murder of a family in Kansas 1959 brings Truman Capote, in company with his friend Harper Lee, to the small town in search of materials for a magazine article. Digging deeper into the story, fuelled by extensive interviews with one of the murderers Perry Smith, Capote finds himself increasingly intrigued and later torn by the odyssey, to create what finally becomes his landmark piece In Cold Blood – morally ambivalent and deeply personal – that defines modern non-fiction novel.
