The River Fuefuki (1960) Douban NeoDB
director: 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。
