「如果我不能欽佩你,我如何愛你?」 ⋯⋯ 「她老是在追逐一些不存在的東西,就像隻受傷的小動物,你能了解嗎?她每一次都會跌得更重一些,我覺得這個世界對她來說太小了⋯⋯」 https://youtu.be/6MjsS4f3q9I
Betty Blue 09. Zorg et Betty[05] 友人亡母家樓下的鋼琴店,Zorg 和 Betty 對彈了一段主旋律。作曲家 Gabriel Yared 創作此旋律前,問兩位演員會不會彈鋼琴,Jean-Hugues Anglade 當時正在練習德布西的〈Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum〉,Béatrice Dalle 則完全不會彈鋼琴(Gabriel Yared 在紀錄片裡模仿 Béatrice Dalle 敲琴鍵的方式,很像她在劇中單指戳打字機那樣)。Gabriel Yared 結合兩者,寫出電影主題曲〈C’est Le Vent, Betty〉。
[04] 愛情的顏色是什麼?漆成粉紅與天藍的海邊小屋,馳騁鄉間黃色賓士,被法國影評歸類在「Cinéma du look」(風格大於內容,視覺大於敘述的電影,相當於台灣常見之「法國新新浪潮」)的尚賈克貝內表示,他和攝影師 Jean-François Robin 拍攝《巴黎野玫瑰》某些場景時,的確有拍得像廣告展示商品的意圖。
[03] 二零一八年接受《衛報》採訪時,Béatrice Dalle 對自己在《巴黎野玫瑰》的表現依然相當自豪,「許多搖滾樂手對我的 Betty 獻上致敬,還有一位女演員改名為 Béatrice Valle,演出改編《巴黎野玫瑰》的色情片前,先徵求我的同意。」
[02] 決定 Betty 選角後,尚賈克貝內帶 Béatrice Dalle 到書店買原著小說《37°2 le matin》,收銀台店員在不知情的情況下,對 Béatrice Dalle 說:「如果這本小說要拍成電影,一定要找你當女主角。」拍攝 Betty 拎著行李箱出現在 Zorg 家門口的場景前,尚賈克貝內提醒 Béatrice Dalle,「注意,這是妳走進法國電影的時刻。」
[01] 限制級電影在片頭通常會顯示警語如「本內容涉及恐怖、血腥、暴力、犯罪、情色等情節議題」,《巴黎野玫瑰》著名的性愛與裸露鏡頭滿滿,Zorg 也執行了一場暴力犯罪行動,更牽鼻地,是觀眾害怕女主角 Betty 隨時會失控的恐怖鏡頭,例如叉子插進手臂、眼睛被挖出的血腥情節。《此恨綿綿無絕期》(Trouble Every Day,2001)是 Béatrice Dalle 自己最滿意的作品,也是 Béatrice Dalle 最血盆大開的螢幕代表作。
Some feelings can only be acted upon, never spoken. Some desires simmer like volcanoes, erupting into twisted yet pure magma of life. Some people, once in love, burn themselves alive like moths to a flame—madly in love, deeply in pain. Some love cold as death, where a near-death experience unlocks raw desire, revealing that what could kill you... may not be fatal at all. Giloo presents six brand-new XX films, inviting you to surrender your senses. Whether it’s the melancholy of animals after sex, or the liberation of desire through sex, they’re not the kind of XX films you think they are. You ask what XX means? You can do it—but you can’t say it.
The late Taiwanese writer Lee Wei-jing wrote in her book I Am Hsu Liang-liang: “But how could you blame a girl? Isn’t that what girlhood is? Only through an intense yearning for love can one generate the power to change the world. The ability to defy the universe—that is the essence of a girl’s strength.” A girl’s love, youth, and sorrow have long served as the most compelling themes in art—and the ones most longed for by creators. Through the devotion and actions of girls, these stories blossom, rooted in the fierce emotional landscape of adolescence. The artist's ambition may be real, but can the girl’s heart remain authentic under the aesthetic filter of art? This playlist features films that place girls at the center of the gaze—their bodies and desires exposed to the audience. But are these girls truly vivid and alive, or merely aestheticized slices of youth? The answer awaits you in viewing.
All-consuming love is enviable—but it comes at a steep price. After the thrill of romance comes the testing: jealousy, heartbreak, loss...How can fragile hearts possibly endure? Through a lover’s gaze, let us relive a once-in-a-lifetime love. Through cinema, let us feel the weight of eyelids swollen from tears, the mess of snot and saliva across a face contorted with grief, the unbearable ache of a heart being torn apart. Ah—blame it all on love!
