《爱火》采用双线并行的叙事结构,将拉妲与茜塔两位女性在压抑婚姻中的觉醒过程交替呈现。Shabana Azmi和Nandita Das演得特别好,完全没有“演”的感觉,你就像躲在窗帘后面看她们过日子。Nandita Das则用少女般的莽撞与天真,撞开了传统家庭那扇沉默的门。电影没有爱情片惯常的浪漫滤镜,反而用印度家庭特有的嘈杂——电视里的宝莱坞歌曲、婆婆的咳嗽声、阳台上的鸽子——衬托出那些安静到令人窒息的对话。Shabana Azmi与Nandita Das的表演全在眉宇与指尖,一个递水杯的迟疑、一次梳头的停顿,比任何告白都更动人。适合那些对“体制如何吞噬个体”有兴趣、不反感缓慢叙事的观众,尤其推荐给关注女性处境与同性情感的人——但别指望看一场浪漫逃逸,它更像一记闷拳,砸在传统家庭的铁门上。
由加籍印裔女导演迪帕.梅塔执导,曾获芝加哥国际影展奖。因内容表现在打破传统的 “性禁锢方面,所以公映时竟触发狂潮,成为众矢之的,导演本人亦遭受恐吓。剧情介绍新德里一个年轻美貌姑娘嫁入中产店主家庭后,因丈夫沉缅于香港功夫,并迷恋于中国艳女而受到冷落。而不育的大嫂亦因丈夫参与 “灵修倍感寂寞,两人同病相怜遂成闺中好友,并发展成床上鸳鸯。后来东窗事发,迫使两人离家出走。该片在印度来讲,内容较为惹火,但比起香港片,似乎仍显平谈,而且剧情颇为噱头,算不上佳作。不过对女性情欲描写极为细致,有一定的文艺剧情趣味。该片还入选香港 “印度多面睇十大印度影片。 Ashok (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) runs a family business that sells takeout food and which also has a video rental store at the side. Ashok's extended family includes his wife Radha (Shabana Azmi), his brother Jatin (Javed Jaffrey), their ailing mother Biji (Kushal Rekhi) and their manservant Mundu (Ranjit Chowdhry), all living under the same roof. Jatin, at the insistence of Ashok and their mother, Biji, agrees to marry the beautiful Sita (Nandita Das) in an arranged marriage, although he is actually in love with Julie (Alice Poon), a Chinese-Indian. At first glance, you see a happy middle-class family going through the normal paces of everyday life. However, as the layers are slowly peeled back, we find a simmering cauldron of discontent within the family, with almost every family member living a lie. Both marriages in the family turn out to be emotionally empty, without love or passion. While Ashok is an ascetic who has taken a vow of celibacy, Jatin is a handsome ladies' man who is still openly seeing Julie even after his marriage to Sita. Ashok has pledged his total devotion to a religious holy man, a swami, in order to purge his life of worldly desires and temptations. Radha, bound by her sense of duty to her husband, agrees to go along with his wishes. As you can imagine, with both husbands ignoring their spouses' emotional and sexual needs (albeit with reasons that are totally opposite from each other), it is only a matter of time before Radha and Sita look to one another for comfort and to satisfy their own passions. In this environment, it is only natural that Sita and Radha become fast friends, and, in time, much more than that. But their love is not without its share of painful obstacles.相关搜索:
