周末颇看了些好电影,Sex and Lucia(Lucia y el Sexo)是其中一个。
我对于好电影的标准特别宽泛,只要画面唯美,音乐动人,情节紧张曲折,结尾出乎意料,我就觉得是一部好电影,无他,给我带来两个小时的愉悦,这不就是一部好电影么?
露西亚的情人就是这样一部好电影,整整两个小时,呼吸一直随着情节跌宕起伏,每个转折我都尝试猜测结果,每次都猜错。直到最后,结果出来,不那么阴郁的结果,留给看的人一丝阳光。
以下内容是剧情介绍,如果准备自己看的就请跳过,以免破坏新奇感:
The story has two main threads, one taking place in the present, and one taking place six years earlier leading up to the present. What is clear is that Lorenzo (Tristan Ulloa, Don't Cry Germaine) is famous author with writer's block. Years ago, he had a one-night stand with Elena (Najwa Nimri, Before Night Falls, Open Your Eyes). She had a daughter, but he doesn't know this.
In the present, Lorenzo's relationship with Lucia (Vega, Nobody Knows Anybody, I Will Survive) is just over. Lucia cannot stand Lorenzo anymore, and he now realizes how much he needs her. After a phone call from the police, Lucia believes Lorenzo is dead and goes to the island that inspired Lorenzo's writing to search for some sort of catharsis. There, she rents a room in a boarding house and spends the day traveling around the island. Medem then flashes back and shows the how Lucia and Lorenzo got together. Lucia was a huge fan of Lorenzo's first book, and she essentially threw herself at him. Their initial relationship consisted mostly of sex, which Medem filmed in unnecessarily graphic detail, as is the style in Europe these days. This can show any number of things; how tenuous their relationship is, how strong their relationship can be based on so little, or how spontaneous and free Lucia is. Their relationship begins to crumble as Lorenzo's novel fails to materialize on a timely basis.
Lorenzo works in the school of thought where he writes what he knows. This is where things get especially confusing, especially as the movie moves into its third act. As the sex with Lucia becomes more intense, his novel heats up with similar situations. So is he writing what is happening to him, or is he imagining what he wishes would happen? He begins to incorporate Belen (Elena Anaya, Fading Memories, Where the World Ends) into his novel. Belen, Lorenzo learns, is taking care of his daughter Luna (Silvia Llanos). He spends time with Belen because she spends time with Luna, but eventually their relationship becomes much closer. Some of the twists and relationships that exist between the characters become a little along the lines of a bad soap opera, but this is forgivable since Medem goes about it so stylistically. Everything turns back on itself, and everybody, sooner or later, comes back. Things begin getting extremely confusing, and there are multiple ways to interpret the ending, each one satisfying. Watching Sex and Lucia requires some thought, since things flash by quickly that have meaning later.
quote from haro-online:
Visually, Sex and Lucia is enthralling. Filming sex is difficult, adding the element of eroticism especially so. Lucia and Lorenzo (and everyone else) literally attack each other in bed, moaning, writhing, stripping, and playing with all sorts of things to sultry music by Alberto Iglesias (All About My Mother, Lovers of the Artic Circle). Medem films in such a way that parts of Sex and Lucia look like a dream, and this doesn't help understanding the movie any better. The island represents a happier time for Lorenzo, which is why Lucia goes there. On the island, the camera emphasizes the sun; everything is incredibly bright. It is as if nobody can hide anything, and the sun can cleanse away anything bad. And Medem isn't just using graphic sex to lure people in. The most explicit stuff tones down after the first half hour or so, and Medem then takes time to flesh out the characters more. Lorenzo is dealing with paternal instincts, Lucia with love, and Elena with betrayal. The characters quickly learn that they need more than superficial things for happiness. By the end, aside from the mass feeling of confusion and awe, it's also clear that at heart, Medem is a romantic.
看了眩晕了吧?还是说说八卦
提起西班牙电影,当仁不让的是阿尔莫多瓦,不能不提的还有近几年国际影坛名声雀起的难得的“双才”(天才+鬼才)--胡里奥.梅德姆(这位先生此前的作品就有非常棒的《牛》、《红松鼠杀人事件》、《北极圈的情人》),他被誉为阿尔莫多瓦接班人,其影片中诡异、迷离、唯美的特色在露西亚的情人一片中表现的淋漓尽致。
影片设定的外景是地中海一个小岛,无论是月色撩人的夜晚还是阳光灿烂的正午,每一幅画面都如同毕加索的风景,表面平静如水,深处波涛暗涌,胡里奥是个讲故事的高手,他把《露西亚的情人》这样老套的故事,讲得扑朔迷离,跌宕起伏,用一种错综复杂,古怪,偏执甚至一种近乎病态的人物关系和人物来结构自己的故事。
影片女主角是Paz Vega,她在阿尔莫多瓦《对她说》中出演Amparo
http://heybeauty.com/feifei/archives/001676.html第二遍看lucia的时候,那些变化无常的幻觉,被阳光晒得发白的沙地,诡异的月亮下深蓝的激情,阳光中挑逗的情爱,女人漂亮的皮肤和眼,以及那座深沉晃动的岛,都会变得更沉,更深,更清晰。
小小的阁楼房间被阳光肆无忌惮的侵占,男人被纱巾蒙住眼,lucia用身体的各个部位挑逗它。那个场面没有色情,只有暖烘烘的爱意,和对情感新鲜的喜悦。暧昧被诠释的这么富有诗意,我看得激动又不免觉得有些难过。
最喜欢的是小女孩的死,她死于恶狗,电影却用了一连窜快速怪诞的镜头。她拉着男人的手,走在白色的沙滩上,狗叫,她捂住脸,掉入沙地的黑洞里。死被演绎成了童话,就像男人给她讲的,你会以你最喜欢的方式死去,变成你最喜欢的鱼,游回美人鱼妈妈的怀里。
我喜欢那座没有跟的岛,它悄悄晃动着,只有少数知道。而那少数人懂得爱,懂得忘记,拥有善意,以及对生活旺盛的理解力。lucia走向以为死去的情人,不再一个人,她的眩晕是一座岛的摇摆,水草波动,鱼群转向。这个世界是跟人的情感一起存活的,爱情和痛苦,都是巨大的力量。
一部美丽的西班牙情色片,美丽的风景,美丽的故事,还有美丽的女人。一定要看两遍,摆脱那种研究情节的态度,摒除第一次的迷惑,单纯的融进去,然后去发现那些打动人的细节。整个故事最重要的一句话,the first advantage is at the end of the story, it doesn't finish, it falls in a hole.
lucia是一份礼物。
她忽然意识到他的离开是真实的。不能抵御的疼痛使她只能来回地疾走在海滩上,颤抖地不停地对自己说:不,不去游泳,我一个人,一个人,一个人走在阳光下,我一个人也能活下去……眼神固执而坚强
真难看,本来是一星的,还有一星给两人做爱那一段和艾莲娜的表演。女主角很像薇若那赖德。我实在是不喜欢这种拍摄方法,完全是不知所云,没有任何感动。
the intensity, the strength, passion, craziness and the fascinating love. smart connection of all of them, sexily, spiritually, deeply.
影片名字以露西亚为标题,但实际上却始终围绕着洛伦佐,无论是他的一夜情、他的欲望、他的女儿、他笔下的故事,由他延展出的三个女人和她们交错的人生……一部情色片倒也能看出悬疑玄幻甚至有点惊悚的感觉,无论在那个洞里穿梭过几回改过几次结局,选择相信哪一种故事走向就是观众自己的决定了。
如果说林奇的片是乱中有序,那这片就是乱得毫无章法,甚至还有些卖弄的意思。(相比悬疑和情色,我倒是对那个西班牙海鲜饭更感兴趣…)
世界上似乎只有这几个人一样的戏剧性,有点做作,但还不错。海岛片我很爱
想起《百年孤独》,重复眩晕总是爱得一塌糊涂。 情爱场面极佳典范。
有情有色有故事,需细需品需回味;情色故事,细品回味。
很欧洲
再次证明西班牙人讨论欲望的时候从不绕弯子。岛/洞的隐喻同时指向爱情与身体。作家的设定、人书不分、角色重叠虽不新鲜,但的确增加了层次。一股潮湿的海风腥膻之气中间,又有真爱的眼泪。表演蛮好的。中段觉得剪辑、摄影很有想象力,后头却失之凌乱,没完全控制住。
我喜欢的有这些:漂浮的岛,岛上的洞,美人鱼,马耳他这个名字,被狗咬死的小女孩,作家窗台上的阳光,作家笑起来暧昧的嘴角,露西亚的卷发和走路摇摆的姿态,优异的故事所应具备的两个条件,公园的长椅,螃蟹,最近的月亮,月光下的海,当然,还有他们的性。如此潮湿的一部电影,连月亮也澎湃起来。
“是一束阳光,还是沉入海底。” 西班牙电影往往如此,小众情色,大众爱。它们的绝望似碧血黄沙,不彻底的诗意。
优秀的情色电影就是看的时候手不会乱动
每当看见礁岩下蓝湛湛汪汪清的海水时,我都有一股想扎下去的冲动。
那个色啊
比我想象的要严肃
伏尔泰曾说过:Tragedy comes from testicles.
我发现凡是我期望值为零的电影都很不错
两个多小时的电影,有点拖沓了。但风光还是不错的,看了也有去那个小岛过一个夏天的冲动。
人生是一部被改烂的小说,每个人都有自己的落笔、起程、转合、收笔,爱情则是那些美好的词藻,你费尽心思写却不一定得到你想要的。露西亚和小说家互跳脱衣舞那段跳得满室春光四溢,很多的情爱镜头被处理得恰到好处的美。片子隐喻、暗喻很多,被光影转得头晕,贯穿全片的配乐却美得惊人
