视频简介
在美国一个山村里面，村民不相信医生，也不相信基督教，他们有他们自己的信仰——坑井。原来在很久之前，村子里面是有教堂的，但突然有一天，村民得了一种怪病，无法医治，当然连神父的祷告也没有用了。这是有一个陶瓷匠突然得到坑井的提示，在无意识中从坑井中取出泥土，经过加工作出人面陶罐。等他在村民面前展示陶罐，村民发现，这个陶罐上的样子，便正是神父的样子。村民各种办法都用尽了，最后只好相信陶瓷匠的说法，把神父祭献给坑井，用浸染了神父的血的坑水来沐浴，所有的人的病都得救了，于是这个村里面就有这样的传统，如若陶瓷匠得到神谕，会烧造人面陶罐，陶罐上是谁的脸，那人便要祭献给坑井，如若违反，必将陆续有人遭到坑井的报应。也不知过了多少年，陶瓷匠也换了人，现在担任这个职位的是个性憨直的达维Dawai（肖恩·布里吉斯 Sean Bridgers），有一天他得到神谕，无意识中做出了...。One day, thinking that it will make your wife and friends smile, you shave off the moustache that you have had for the last ten years. No one notices or, even worse, everyone pretends not to notice and your smile soon fades. Before being wiped off your face. You insist but people tell you that you've never had a moustache. Are you going mad? Are people trying to make you think you are? Or has something in the world's order gone awry at your expense? Adapting his own 1986 novel, Emmanuel Carrère – whose books Class Trip and The Adversary became Cannes Competition titles by Claude Miller and Nicole Garcia, respectively – provides a feast of sustained tension as the man's wife and his closest friends deny that he ever had a moustache. Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained. The film won the Label Europa Cinemas Prize at Directors' Fortnight in Cannes. 一天，你滿心以為給妻子和朋友開個玩笑，把蓄了十年的鬍子刮掉。但可惜完全被人忽視了，或更可悲的是每個人都假裝看不到，很快，你得意的笑容不見了，笑臉再也掛不住。你堅持，但所有人都跟你說你從未蓄過鬍子。莫非你神經錯亂？是否所有人都想令你以為自己瘋掉了？又或者，是因為你的緣故而搞亂了世界的某種秩序？ 本片是導演艾曼雷．卡雷爾改編自他自己一九八六年出版的小說。他的另外兩本小說《 Class Trip 》及《 The Adversary 》曾分別被葛羅特．米勒及妮歌．加西亞兩位導演改編成電影並先後成為康城影展的參選影片。在本片中，因為男人的妻子和老友否認他曾經蓄鬍子而令整個故事維持在緊張的氣氛中。 喜歡結局完整的觀眾可能會感到不高興，但欣賞引人入勝的故事和精湛演技的觀眾則會看得津津有味。本片在康城影展的導演雙週中奪得歐洲電影標籤大獎。 Source: The 34th French Cinepanorama, Hong Kong。
