戛納電影節：十大不可錯過佳片

The Cannes Film Festival kicks off today, setting in motion 10 days of premieres of some of the most heavily anticipated movies of the year. Inside Llewyn Davis and Blue Is the Warmest Color got their start there last year—not to mention Best Foreign Language Oscar winner The Great Beauty—and certainly some possible award-season contenders are among the 2014 lineup. With so many titles to choose from, it wasn't easy to pick just 10. But life is about making difficult choices, people.

第67屆戛納電影節於5月14日啓動，拉開了爲期十天的本年度最令人期待電影首映禮的帷幕。本次參競影片陣容強大，挑選出十部最佳影片着實是一件難事。但人生就是一次次艱難的抉擇。

Clouds of Sils Maria 《錫爾斯瑪利亞》

Although Cannes celebrates world cinema, Hollywood is never too far from its mind. In 2014, we have David Cronenberg's Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars, as well as Clouds of Sils Maria. The latest film from director Olivier Assayas (Carlos), it stars Juliette Binoche as an aging actress who agrees to appear in a remake of the film that launched her career—except this time, she's playing the older character, replaced by a hot new talent. Co-starring Chloë Grace Moretz (as the starlet) and Kristen Stewart.

戛納電影節上一直不乏好萊塢電影。今年入圍的有大衛·柯南伯格導演的《星圖》及奧利維耶•阿薩亞斯執導，朱麗葉•比諾什、科洛•莫瑞茲、克里斯汀•斯圖爾特等聯袂主演的美法合拍劇情片《錫爾斯瑪利亞》（Clouds of Sils Maria）。

Foxcatcher 《狐狸獵手》

Foxcatcher, the latest film from director Bennett Miller (Moneyball, Capote), was supposed to come out last year during award season. Instead, its release was postponed so that Miller could fine-tune this true-life drama about the unlikely friendship between Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and du Pont heir John du Pont (Steve Carell). Oscar-courting movies that get yanked from the fall schedule usually raise red flags, but the fact that Foxcatcher is now premiering in the Cannes competition suggests that Sony Pictures Classics are still fully confident that they've got a winner.

貝尼特•米勒執導的最新電影《狐狸獵手》（Foxcatcher）講述了當時著名的奧運金牌摔跤手馬克·舒爾茨（查寧•塔圖姆飾）與杜邦集團繼承人約翰•杜邦（史蒂夫•卡瑞爾飾）之間的故事。索尼經典電影公司對其角逐戛納自信滿滿。

The Homesman 《送鄉人》

For all the good work that Tommy Lee Jones has done as an actor, not enough praise has gone to his directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, an excellent modern-day Western that won two prizes at Cannes in 2005, including a Best Actor nod for Jones. The Homesman is the first film he's directed since, and it too is a Western, about a man (Jones) in the 19th century escorting a woman (Hilary Swank) and three clinically insane patients across the Midwest.

湯米•李•瓊斯曾憑《艾斯卡達的三次葬禮》獲得2005年戛納電影節最佳男演員和最佳編劇。《送鄉人》（The Homesman）是他導演的首部電影，講述19世紀一對男女護送三個精神病人穿越中西部。

Leviathan 《利維坦》

What makes it a must-see is that it's the latest movie from Russian filmmaker Andrei Zvyagintsev, whose first three efforts are all terrific. Zvyagintsev creates powerful moods and finds the extraordinary in normal lives.

安德烈•薩金塞夫（俄羅斯）執導的最新電影《利維坦》（Leviathan）入圍。他的影片能夠在平凡的生活中發現非同尋常的心靈感受。Mr. Turner 《透納先生》

If there's an early frontrunner for Best Actor at Cannes, it's Timothy Spall, star of Mr. Turner, filmmaker Mike Leigh's biopic of celebrated British painter J.M.W. Turner. Going with a period piece for the first time since 1999's Topsy-Turvy, Leigh has wanted to make a movie about Turner, who was famous for his eccentricity, for quite some time; Cannes loves Leigh (Secrets & Lies won the Palme d'Or in 1997), and this looks like the sort of grand valedictory that old masters make.

蒂莫西·斯波領跑本次戛納電影節最佳男主角提名，他主演的《透納先生》（Mr. Turner）記錄英國畫家約瑟夫·馬洛德·威廉·透納（J.M.W. Turner）的一生。

The Rover 《沙海漂流人》

Australian filmmaker David Michôd made his debut with 2010's Animal Kingdom, one of the best thrillers in recent years. His followup film, The Rover, is set in a bleak future in the middle of nowhere that looks like a combination of The Road and The Proposition. The film stars guy's-guy actors Guy Pearce and Scoot McNairy, but it also has Robert Pattinson, in his second of two big Cannes entries. (He's also in David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars.)

《沙海漂流人》（The Rover）由澳大利亞導演大衛•米奇歐德執導，蓋·皮爾斯、斯科特·麥克奈利和羅伯特•帕丁森（同時參演《星圖》）聯袂出演。

The Search 《搜尋》

Director Michel Hazanavicius earned Oscar acclaim for 2011's The Artist, one of the rare comedies to win Best Picture, but he's back with a drama starring wife Bérénice Bejo as an NGO worker who befriends a boy in war-torn Chechnya. Based on Fred Zinnemann's 1948 film, The Search is Hazanavicius demonstrating that he doesn't just do silent-film homages (or in the case of his OSS 117 films, cheeky James Bond satires). It's one of the biggest question marks at Cannes, which is where The Artist started its march to award-season victory three years ago.

由邁克爾·哈扎納維希烏斯執導，2011年上映的影片《藝術家》曾獲得奧斯卡最佳影片獎。今年他執導的《搜尋》（The Search）也是本次戛納電影節上的謎團，其意在通過本片證明他並非只拍默片。

The Tribe 《部落》

Amid the high-profile entries at any festival, there are also the quiet sleepers that end up being major sensations. One of those Cannes surprises could be this nervy drama from Ukrainian filmmaker Myroslav Slaboshpytsky that chronicles the exploits at a school for the deaf and dumb. The NSFW trailer above suggests a mixture of Michael Haneke and Lars Von Trier, but its really provocative hook is that there won't be any subtitles or voiceovers: If you don't know sign language, you'll just have to figure out what's going on. The trailer boldly proclaims, "For love and hatred, you don't need translation." We shall see.

烏克蘭導演米羅斯拉夫·司拉博夫斯基所執導的《部落》（The Tribe）令人歎爲觀止。預告片最大的亮點是沒有字幕或者任何畫外音。

Two Days, One Night 《兩天一夜》

Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne are among the most decorated Cannes filmmakers of all time: Two of their movies, 1999's Rosetta and 2005's L'Enfant, won the Palme d'Or, and their most recent, 2011's The Kid With a Bike, took home the Grand Prix. You don't go to their films for their layered plots—you go for their skill at crafting moving, bare-bones character dramas. Their latest is predictably simple in its logline—a woman has to convince her coworkers to forgo their bonuses so that she can hold onto her job—but what's new for the Dardennes is that Two Days, One Night has a star in it. The presence of Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard alone guarantees that, even if this movie is terrible, it'll get more attention in the US and elsewhere than any of the brothers' previous films. But considering that they've never made even a just-OK film, that shouldn't be a concern.

比利時著名兄弟導演達內兄弟曾兩次獲得金棕櫚獎。這次達內兄弟的《兩天一夜》（Two Days, One Night）雖然情節簡單，但奧斯卡影后瑪麗昂·歌迪亞的出演吸引了不少眼球。

Winter Sleep 《冬眠》

Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan has been a Cannes favorite for a while, winning prizes for his films Distant (2002) and Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (2011), his sort-of murder mystery in which the police drive around the countryside trying to help jog the confessed killer's memory about where he buried the body. Winter Sleep is his longest film at over three hours, and there aren't many plot details available aside from the fact that it's a domestic drama. (The above teaser trailer even lacks English subtitles.) But Ceylan's movies have always been more about mood than plot, and this very much looks to be in that same vein. For all his Cannes acclaim, he's never won the Palme d'Or: Little surprise that festival handicappers have pegged this one as the film to beat. Sight unseen, of course.

土耳其導演努裏·比格·錫蘭（Nuri Bilge Ceylan）曾憑2002年影片《遠方》（Distant）及2011年上映的《安納托利亞往事》（Once Upon a Time in Anatolia）贏得多項大獎。《冬眠》（Winter Sleep）是他執導最長的影片，時長超過3個小時。
