女仆日记

哎，说起让·雷诺阿的《女仆日记》，我得跟你好好唠唠。宝莲·高黛饰演的塞莱丝汀没有夸张的表演痕迹，她那些微妙的停顿、欲言又止的眼神，把底层女性那种“看得透彻却选择沉默”的生存智慧演得极有分寸。适合那些不介意节奏慢、愿意琢磨人物微小情绪的人，尤其是曾在大房子里当过“局外人”的观众。雷诺阿摒弃好莱坞式的连贯剪辑，大量使用深焦镜头与缓慢的横向摇移，让观众置身于那幢封闭的法国乡间宅邸，跟随女仆塞莱丝汀的目光，在宴会厅与仆人房之间游移，目睹虚伪、欲望与冷酷如何在一桩未遂谋杀案后层层剥露。布吉斯·梅迪斯饰演的古怪邻居则像一面扭曲的镜子，照出女人在等级社会里的挣扎。宝莲·高黛用收敛的肢体语言与克制的微表情塑造了一位冷眼旁观的闯入者，她与布吉斯·梅迪斯饰演的园丁之间那场雨夜对峙，将性张力与阶层怨恨揉成一把钝刀。

But Mr Lanlaire is not a right choice all the house is firmly controlled by Mme Lanlaire, helped by the strange valet Joseph. Then she tries the neighbour, ex-officer Mauger. This seems to work. But soon the son of the Lanlaires comes back. He is young, attractive, and does not share his mother's anti-republicans opinions. So Celestine's beauty attracts Captain Mauger, young Georges Lanlaire, and also Joseph. Three men, from three different social classes, with three different conceptions of life. Will Celestine be able to convince Georges of her sincerity Will sinister and inflexible Joseph let his views upon Celestine be ruined A quite disillusioned depiction of humanity.
