Children of Men (2006)

導演：阿方索·卡隆（Alfonso Cuarón）

在線觀看地址（需付費）

Here’s a bold statement about a bold movie: Children of Men, like no other film this century, and perhaps no other movie ever, solves the meaning of life.
給這部大膽的電影下一個大膽的評論：《人類之子》不同于本世紀任何一部電影，也許迥異于歷史上任何一部電影，回答了什么是生命的意義。

Alfonso Cuarón’s staggering 2006 adaptation of PD James’ novel is rich and vital in its emotional and philosophical depth: its sadness, its anger, its reverence and worry for humanity.
阿方索·卡隆在2006年改編自PD·詹姆斯原著的這部令人震驚的電影，在情感和哲學深度上都極為豐富和重要：它的悲哀、它的憤怒，和對人性的膜拜和擔憂。

殺戮演繹

The Act of Killing (2012)

導演：喬什?奧本海默（Joshua Oppenheimer）

下載地址

Harrowing, confrontational and surreal, The Act of Killing ends with Anwar Congo, the gangster who murdered nearly 1,000 people in 1965-66 following the military coup in Indonesia, coming to terms with his heinous crimes. Possibly. He sobs, vomits and laments the lives he had willfully taken away, and yet we're never sure if he's genuinely repentant or if it's all a high-wire act on his part.
折磨人心、充滿對抗和不真實感的《殺戮演繹》，在劊子手安瓦爾?岡戈（Anwar Congo）承認自己令人發指的罪行后結束。從1965年到1966年，在印度尼西亞的軍事政變后，安瓦爾屠殺了近千人。他為那些他肆意殺害的生命抽泣、嘔吐、感嘆，但我們并不知道他是不是真的在懺悔，或者這只是他做作地表演。

The Act of Killing is a piercing, multilayered study about national amnesia, about the power of self-deceit and the questionable morality of truth-seeking. Its status as the 21st Century's most celebrated documentary will likely be preserved for a long time to come.
這部電影是對舉國遺忘一段歷史這種現象的深刻而多層次的研究，同時也是對自我欺騙的力量和追尋真相與道德角力的探索。它作為21世紀最偉大的紀錄片的地位，將會長遠地保持下去。

四月三周兩天

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days

導演：克里斯蒂安·蒙久（Cristian Mungiu）

在線觀看地址

One scene, one cut, zero music. Cristian Mungiu's 2007 Palme d'Or winner is a touchstone of the Romanian New Wave, a stark wonder of a film exemplified by visual precision, a bracingly clear-eyed script and glacial detachment. Imbuing a backstreet abortion with the brutal tension of a crime thriller – and abortion was a crime in 1980s Romania – Mungiu evokes the callous and repressive atmosphere of Ceausescu's foundering dictatorship.
一個場景只有一個長鏡頭，沒有背景音樂。蒙久這部作品摘得2007年金棕櫚獎。作為羅馬尼亞新浪潮的試金石，它以準確的視覺、清晰的劇本和以超然的視角完成了一次質樸的驚艷。1980年代，羅馬尼亞墮胎還是違法的，片中的秘密墮胎貫穿著犯罪驚悚片的緊張感，讓人想起了齊奧塞斯庫獨裁統治下無情壓抑的氛圍。
