回复 :本片为侯孝贤向法国导演艾尔伯特•拉摩里斯(Albert Lamorisse)拍摄于1956年的短片、在电影史上有重要地位的《红气球(Le Ballon Rouge)》的致敬之作,也是他继《咖啡时光》之后拍摄的第二部致敬外语片。Suzanne(朱丽叶•比诺什 Juliette Binoche)每日为一出筹备中的改编自中国元曲的木偶剧《求妻煮海人》中角色的声音演出以及其它琐事忙得焦头烂额,加上丈夫Pierre远在加拿大蒙特利尔写小说,儿子Simon(Simon Iteanu)成了“累赘”,无奈,她请了在巴黎念电影的中国女孩Song(宋芳 Song Fang)照料Simon。与Simon在一起时,Song双手始终不离摄影机,并向好奇她在拍什么的Simon提及《红气球》。Suzanne的房客Marc(Hippolyte GirardotLouise)仗着是Pierre的朋友,时常做出一些令她愤怒的事,而房租更是借口生活贫困已经好几个月未交。Suzanne有心接在布鲁塞尔的女儿Louise(Louise Margolin)回巴黎念书,决定赶走Marc,却不得Pierre理解。将一切看在眼里的Song没有参与类似琐事,她与Suzanne保持着淡然的朋友关系,多数时间想的只是她的电影:Simon发现一个无人理会的大红气球,拉着它穿越巴黎的大街小巷的过程,被她记录在摄影机里,成了一部电影中的电影。之后,该红气球也似有生命般,始终在Simon出现的地点上空飘来荡去。
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.
