恶人谷

昨晚开车时听广播里谈起今年的Cannes影节，得大奖的片子是关于一个"amoral young man"在女友生孩子之后逐渐从转变长大的故事，非常naturalistic. 我脑海里登时响起叮叮叮的铃声，眼前大书Dardenne兄弟的名字。果然啊果然，就是他们俩！我前两天还在自称喜欢在电影里找人性黑暗面，Dardennes的片子就是立刻戳穿我这种伪cynic的良药，他们用最现实主义的手段表达最理想主义的意思。TNND，我总是吃他们这一套。

Viggo Mortensen这次也有个相当受到好评的片子The History of Violence。加拿大的David Cronnenberg导演。Ebert称之为Mortensen's best performance.

他们用最现实主义的手段表达最理想主义的意思。

图书馆可能会放？它们以前就爱放嘎纳和Sundance的获奖片。

They have very good selections, but don't allow me to put a hold on new hit DVDs. I've been trying to get hold of a DVD "Primer" with no success. I'll have to go to the library tomorrow to try the shelf.

I'm not a Cronenberg fan, but this movie sounds very interesting. It's about a retired gangster who lives an upstanding small-town life. His past finally comes back to haunt him. Sounds cliched, but apparently has a new twist to it. Almost another postmodern revision of the western genre.
