一座蕴藏着巨大铜矿脉,为战火洗刷而四散飘零的热带岛屿;一名性格古怪,拒绝跟随大部队逃亡的白人教师,在钴蓝色的海洋与天空之间拉开了故事的序幕。 沃茨老师(休·劳瑞 饰)好奇心旺盛且为人刻薄,在独自清理完校舍的废墟后,他开始每天对孩子们朗读查尔斯·狄更斯的名作《远大前程》聊以解闷。伴随着终日回荡于远山之间的炮火声响,小说中雾都伦敦与奔走其中的孤儿皮普的影像在十三岁少女玛蒂尔达和其他孩子的脑海中日渐如令人屏息惊叹的高塔般浮出水面,使他们暂时忘却了战争在海岛上投下的阴影。 诚如沃茨所言,”为书所获,即便忘却呼吸也可维持生命。“ 被沃茨与孩子们所激励,越来越多的居民开始加入到叙述者的行列中。那些被一度忘却的隐秘往事在黑夜中被不断点燃,重新焕发昔日的光彩。但战火仍在蔓延,这艘名为”故事“的想象之方舟能将为了生存而每日奔走寻求庇护的人们带向何方,我们尚不得知.......

Mehran Tamadon explores what it was like being interrogated by the Iranian regime by asking prisoners to reconstruct their experiences. Alongside his companion film Where God Is Not, My Worst Enemy finds Tamadon shifting focus from the interrogated to the interrogator. The filmmaker sought an individual who had been interrogated by Iranian authorities in order to draw on their experiences to play an interrogator. The role finally fell to the Cannes-winning lead actor of Holy Spider, Zar Amir Ebrahimi. Together in an anonymous room, with Tamadon stripped to his underwear, they reconstruct the interrogation process, which gradually becomes an examination of the nature of power and coercion. The resulting film is intense and, at times, uncomfortable. And as it progresses, My Worst Enemy becomes an exploration of cinema’s relationship with its audience, questioning whether there is a limit to what it can show.
《雕像也会死亡》(Les statues meurent aussi,阿兰·雷乃、克里斯·马尔凯,1953年出品,27分钟)尖锐地批评了西方殖民主义对非洲传统艺术的戕害以及自称热爱非洲艺术的上等阶层的贪婪与伪善。本片的主角是来自黑非洲的人物雕像、面具和其他非洲艺术品,但是它们的演出场所并非黑人的故乡,而是白人的欧洲,艺术品市场和艺术品拍卖会是它们频频出没和滞留的中转地。这些本来被非洲部族用来抵抗死亡的面具和雕像,如今却呆在博物馆的橱窗里静静地死去。此时,画外音告诉我们:“当人死去的时候,他便进入了历史;当这些雕像死去的时候,它们进入了艺术;这种关于死亡的学问,我们最后称之为文化。”由于本片具有鲜明而强烈的社会批判意识,自拍竣之日起即遭到法国政府禁映,直到1963年才解禁。本片由长于剪辑的阿兰·雷乃操刀剪辑,由强于写作的克里斯·马尔凯撰写解说,充分发挥了两人各自的强项,可谓强强合作的结晶。 This collaborative film, banned for more than a decade by French censors as an attack on French colonialism (and now available only in shortened form), is a deeply felt study of African art and the decline it underwent as a result of its contact with Western civilization. Marker's characteristically witty and thoughtful commentary is combined with images of a stark formal beauty in this passionate outcry against the fate of an art that was once integral to communal life but became debased as it fell victim to the demands of another culture.
