视频简介
成功设计师特洛雷（穆雷·巴特利特 Murray Bartlett 饰）回到洛杉矶，发现旧爱强纳森（丹尼尔·杜根 Daniel Dugan 饰）已另有新欢——阿根廷型男劳尔（阿德里安·冈萨雷斯 Adrian Gonzalez 饰）。当初的分手或许无因，重逢也并非云淡风轻： 强纳森看似掀开新的一页，但从未对当年真正释怀；特洛雷倦鸟知返，却不知如何从头再来；劳尔为留在美国和强纳森的女性友人结了婚，但这显然并不足以羁绊男友的心。骄阳似火的八月天，前度情人再度相逢，汗水与泪水交缠，欲望与理智鏖战，剪不断理还乱。当爱情死灰复燃，该如何决定得失挑选？ 《燃烬八月》改编自希伯来裔导演埃尔达尔·拉帕波特自己导演的2005年短片《灰烬之后》，两位男主角都没有更换。拉帕波特用六年时间对故事大纲做出了扩容，令原来的二人对戏变成虐心的三角关系。炽烈汹涌的情欲，优美深广的长镜，开到荼蘼的希伯来配乐，令这部电影获得了2011年Iris电影节最佳剧情长片奖。。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。
