From the harsh, nomadic life on the tundra to an uncertain future with five children. Four years in the life of a strong and charismatic woman. Life is raw and harsh out in the Arctic tundra, where young Ivanna lives a nomadic life with her five children. A tough and charismatic woman who is put to the test when she has to give up the traditional life of the Nenets people and move to the city. The climate is changing, her reindeers are dying, and her husband, Gena, has turned into an alcoholic because of his job at a gas plant. And even though Ivanna can put both him - and everyone else - in their place with her killer gaze and no-nonsense attitude, she harbours a desire to liberate herself from the violent relationship. Four years in Ivanna’s life have become a formidable film created with an artist’s eye for the material texture of the world where an image of a sleeping child, three fish and a hungry cat almost become a cosmic motif. This is vital, physical film art with an unforgettable woman at its centre. Meanwhile, Ivanna’s letters, which are read aloud by herself, lift her story above the raging of the elements. Director Renato Borrayo Serrano, who was born in Guatemala and lives in Russia, has created a drama about liberation and a melancholy requiem about a bygone way of life.
这部纪录片是对鲍勃迪伦1965年英国巡演的忠实记录,导演彭内贝克用影像清晰的说明那时的鲍勃迪伦与披头士是多么的不同。与同时期的《苦难日之夜》相比,《别回头》更直接,深刻,对自己的拍摄对象也没有造星般的刻意吹捧,甚至还毫不掩饰的可以嘲讽,但是,再冷静的镜头都无法掩盖年轻迪伦的灿烂光芒,同现在的老迪伦相比,年轻的他无与伦比的傲慢,机智,激情洋溢,而其中一段以垮掉派代表艾伦金斯堡为背景的开场更是弥足珍贵。
For her ‘Blond Ambition’ tour in 1990, pop superstar Madonna was looking for performers who knew how to vogue. Out of countless hopefuls, the gay dancers Salim, Kevin, Carlton, José, Luis and Gabriel were chosen along with huphopper Oliver, the only straight guy. The tour was accompanied by a film crew and Madonna cast herself in the role of mother figure of her stage family. The boys soon found fans among homosexual youths who saw them as role models, while the tour came to epitomise Madonna’s commitment to gay liberation and the acknowledgement of AIDS. But the idyll fell apart after the tour. Although the dancers were pivotal to Madonna’s message, they weren't all living it. After failing to persuade Madonna to cut out the kissing scene that would ‘out’ him to his family and friends, Gabriel filed a lawsuit against her. In he Gabriel died of AIDS-related illness, while the others continued to pursue their professional careers. Now, twenty-five years later, the six surviving performers are reunited and long-buried secrets are aired. The filmmakers excel at telling the stories of these very different dancers in order to edge closer to the truth. berlinale 2016

本部纪录片主要围绕世界上最美丽、最知名的公墓之一的拉雪兹神父公墓展开。拉雪兹神父公墓是来自世界各地极富才华的艺术家们的安葬地。他们生处在不同时期,可至今仍受世人景仰。本片记录下了慕名而来的很多祭拜者,他们有的在墓前留下自己的书信,有的则是放置一束鲜花。镜头跟随着这些虔诚的敬慕者,一起谈论着艺术带给他们的生活馈赠。 《永远》以其宁静优美的视角,让我们讲述着爱与死亡交融生辉的不朽艺术。本片荣获2006年荷兰乌特勒支纪录片节最佳纪录长片、最佳剪辑提名等,又在2007年美国Full Frame纪录片节灵感奖等多项大奖。
1996年的《紙人頭》哈那克又回到了《322》時記錄與虛構並置的路線。導演從大批過去未曾展示過的檔案影像之中,回憶並重溯了從二次大戰到89年絲絨革命的這段歷史,除了運用民眾在5月1日的共黨大節裡,以紙製人頭偶來揶揄政治人物的行動偶劇為創意,重新安排以紙人頭在成批的歷史影像串流中穿插出現,重構一齣政治寓言。導演並反身自涉了70年代的個人經驗回顧,企圖為這個被世界遺忘與湮滅的區域撢去塵埃。 影片中大批出自不同年代不知名拍攝者之手的檔案影像,包含了官方的節慶宣傳,民間的反彈行動、秘密警察大肆街頭逮捕等等,不同鏡頭的視角、時間、觀點在導演手中統籌、架構成一套哈那克的敘事言說。除了回溯近代史之外,導演在創作處理涉及的層面與手法,讓影像的鏡頭、觀點、政治意識型態的支配以及作者本身意志與自覺之間多層次辯證,又多了更往前推進一步的例子。這對當前劇情片回漲無期,而紀錄片當紅的台灣,有心思索下一步的影像創作者來說,杜桑‧哈那克應該是深具啟發性的。
