Movie

A Wanderer's Notebook (1962)
放浪記
other title: Hourou-ki / Chronique de mon vagabondage …
Considered one of the finest late Naruses and a model of film biography, A Wanderer’s Notebook features remarkable performances by Hideko Takamine – Phillip Lopate calls it “probably her greatest performance” – and Kinuyo Tanaka as mother and daughter living from hand to mouth in Twenties Tokyo. Based on the life and career of Fumiko Hayashi, the novelist whose work Naruse adapted to the screen several times, A Wanderer’s Notebook traces her bitter struggle for literary recognition in the first half of the twentieth century – her affairs with feckless men, the jobs she took to survive (peddler, waitress, bar maid), and her arduous, often humiliating attempts to get published in a male-dominated culture.

Movie

The River Fuefuki (1960)
Douban NeoDB
木下惠介 actor: 高峰秀子 / 田村高广 …
other title: 笛吹川 / Fuefukigawa
◎简  介 剧情: Simple, poetic legend, developing through the life and fate of a poor farming family during the period of five generations. Set in the 16th century. Based on the novel by Shichiro Fukazawa. 幕后: 1960年,木下惠介导演了根据深泽七郎原作改编的《笛吹川》。 《笛吹川》是世界上第一部、恐怕也是最后一部使用奇怪摄影技术的影片。影片用黑白胶片拍摄完毕之后,仅对那些强调作品主题思想的镜头施彩着色。因此,它既不是彩色片,也不算黑白片。如果硬要把它归类的话,也许可以说它是部水彩影片,或者可以称作南画派电影。整个影片就象文人画一样,只有部分画面着有色彩……这种制片手法耗资甚巨,使松竹公司的资方颇为吃惊。嗣后,世界上任何影片都未使用此种手法。 这部影片在摄制过程中还使用了当时尚处于实验阶段的叠影镜头,有时在摄影机上套装一个乳白色的镜头,用以拍摄特写。这一点,当时的观众可能没有注意到。但它确实生动地体现了天才木下惠介的意图。 虽然《二十四只眼睛》、《女园》以及《欢乐悲伤几岁月》等影片也获得了社会上的好评,但它们都不是反映导演内心世界的作品。而只有《笛吹川》(原作者深泽七郎)才是一部彻底反映了木下惠介内心世界的影片;甚至可以说,这部影片就是木下惠介“人生观”的体现。
