看完《婚礼进行曲》的那个深夜,我对着黑屏愣了好久。影片叙事不急不缓,用大量细节(比如军装刺绣上的金线、街角卖花女的手势)堆砌出时代质感,结局的悲剧性不靠煽情,而源于人物性格与阶级枷锁的必然碰撞。冯·施特罗海姆自己演的那个军官,又傲慢又可怜,菲伊·雷演的女主倔强得很,扎苏·皮茨插科打诨,三个人凑一起特有意思——有一段他们仨在花园里对峙,光眼神就能让你笑出声。扎苏·皮茨饰演的母亲一角,其市侩的耸肩与眼神躲闪,精准刻画出小人物在金钱婚姻中的身不由己。适合那些对“幸福结局”已经产生抗体的人看,适合愿意拿着勺子慢慢品味苦咖啡的观众。他用近乎纪实的长镜头对准维也纳街巷与宫殿,婚礼场景里数百群演的调度严谨得如同军事仪仗,反衬出仪式背后阶级碾压的冰冷。
The setting is Vienna in 1914 before the outbreak of war. The aristocratic and somewhat jaded Prince Nicki, pursued by all the ladies, begins a flirtation with Mitzi, a crippled harpist who works in a suburban wine-garden, and who is in turn idolized by Schani, an uncouth and violently jealous butcher. Their first encounter significantly takes place in front of St. Stephen's Cathedral on Corpus Christi day, with Nicki among the emperor's cavalry regiment. Later, in the refracted light of falling apple blossoms in the wine-garden--scenes of a distilled, ethereal beauty--Nicki gradually wins her faith and love. Meanwhile, amidst the sumptuous and corrupt milieu of the family palace, Nicki is drawn into complicity against his will, as his unscrupulous mother informs him he must marry Cecelia, the daughter of a wealthy commoner, in order to revive the family fortune. Mitzi has a vision of The Iron Man (a symbol of the declining power and position of the Hapsburg dynasty) and falls before the crucifix in fear; but her love remains steadfast, and she protests her faith though abused by her mother and Schani. Infuriated by her rejection, Schani threatens to kill Nicki on his wedding day unless Mitzi agrees to marry him. Following the processional splendor of the cathedral wedding, Schani appears to carry out his threat, but Mitzi arrives in time to stop him; and through the downpouring rain Nicki sadly gazes on his true love in the crowd as he drives away with his bride.相关搜索:
