Last Year at Marienbad
《去年在马里昂巴德》(1961)
"Didn't we meet at Marienbad last year?" an unnamed man asks an unnamed woman. So begins one of the most confusing (and frustrating) movies ever made. Two people are at a French château. One says they know each other. The other denies it. Back and forth they go, over and over, while director Alain Resnais' camera endlessly stalks the château's spooky corridors. All the while, organ music blasts out at unpredictable moments. Some well-dressed people stand in a sunlit garden. They cast shadows. The triangle-shaped trees surrounding them do not. There appears to be no plot. It's all very dreamlike. What is this movie about?
“我们去年在马里昂巴德见过吧?”路人甲(男)对路人乙(女)说,这部号称史上最难以理解的电影就这样开始了。这两位路人在一座法国古堡中就餐。其中一个人说他们认识,而另外一个人则不这么认为。两位主角不停滴在古堡中游走,同时导演的镜头则十分留恋古堡走廊上让人毛骨悚然的藤蔓。影片中不时地响起管风琴的声音,一些身着盛装的人出现在洒满阳关的草坪上,他们身后拖着影子,而他们身后三角形的树却没有影子。影片似乎没有什么剧情。这部电影到底要说什么?
