回复 :Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after.Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development.Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards.No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career.A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag.Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival.In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
回复 :威廉赫特(William Hurt)大显绅士矜持和中年沧桑的近年佳作。这次赫特饰演胸怀理想的大厨戴夫,在人迹罕见的纽芬兰悬崖上开了家高级法国餐厅,初时自然门可罗雀,好在蛊惑邻居出谋献策,谣传此区出现珍贵海鸟,刹时间观鸟者蜂涌而来,戴夫的餐厅亦成为潮流热点。谁知蛊惑邻居是福星,也是祸星,不但随他来餐厅打工的姨仔(《私人红灯区》的茉莉·柏嘉Molly Parker饰)把戴夫推进恋爱迷雾,他秘藏的白色粉末更招来各路英雄对餐厅虎视眈眈......导演史托拉根那逊获誉为加拿大电影的新希望,把一部黑色喜剧拍得风趣脱俗、佳句连篇。三主角一冷一热一娇,化学作用强,演绎男性友谊和忘年奇恋亦是情味浓郁。
回复 :Schultze gets the blues里除了敦厚的Schultze和他的手风琴,还有Keramikzwerger(瓷矮人),真的是很可爱的一部电影。弥漫着一股慢悠悠的田园气息,不慌不忙,对于退休老人来说,他拥有“世界所有的时间”(die Zeit aller Welt)。虽然总是一片灰蒙蒙的天空,错落有致的音乐贯穿始终,观众尽管看不见,却能感受到一角蓝天。外表虽然如德国电影一贯的冷静,却掩盖不了蠢蠢的热情。
