Marona's Fantastic Tale L'Extraordinaire Voyage de Marona 小狗九的三宅一生
Empathy lies at the very heart of my film, and as we are in a contemporary tale, the peculiarity that I wish to bring to it is that which comes more from the dog than from human beings. Thanks to animation, we are going to be able to amplify this by playing on anthropomorphism, and thus question the notion of giving. The story thus deals, with emotion and lightness, with this anthropocentrism deeply rooted in our western culture. Between the lines, the destiny of Marona likewise questions the role of a pet – which in turn represents nature – in our modern societies, and more precisely its function within the family home. Through a story accessible to the very youngest, I wish to raise as well these questions of society. I think that under this fairy-tale packaging, it’s a film, which we need: It’s time to find once again empathy towards those around us. A dog enables us to once more appreciate the scale of human values, love, and responsibility towards those we love. The fact of being next to one another during our lives offers us a necessary reflection on the re-evaluation of our dreams, weaknesses, ambitions and limits, and even if this exchange is limited to the life expectancy of a dog which by nature is shorter than our own.
Anca Damian [導演的話]
同理心是影片重心,由於我拍的是當代故事,我希望本 片獨特之處是從狗而來,多於從人而來。幸虧是動畫, 可以透過擬人化增強這點,藉此詰問什麼是真正付出。
故事以富有感情又輕鬆活潑的手法,處理根植於西方文 化、一切以人類為中心的心態。言外之意,是借助小狗 瑪朗娜的遭遇,質疑那代表自然的寵物在現代社會所扮 演的角色。更確切地說,是探究寵物在家庭內到底起着 什麼作用。我也想藉着一個小朋友看得懂的故事,提出 這些社會問題。
在童話包裝下,這部電影是我們所需要的:是時候再次 對周圍有生之物有着同理之心。狗可使我們重新理解人 類的價值尺度、愛,以及愛的責任。既然在生活中大家 都彼此緊靠,我們就有必要重新反省,重新評估我們的 夢想、弱點、野心和限制,即使這種互相交流僅限於與 一頭天生比人類短命的小狗。

The Nose or the Conspiracy of Mavericks
鼻子,歌劇與史太林
Russia 俄羅斯 2020 | Russian | DCP/Online | Colour | 89min Director Andrey Khrzhanovsky Producer Andrey Khrzhanovsky Scriptwriter Yury Arabov, Andrey Khrzhanovsky Cinematographer Igor Skidan-Bosin Editor Taissia Krugovykh, Ilya Tomashevich, Veronika Utkina Production Designer Marina Azizyan, Alexandra Pavlova, Alexander Khramtsov, Varya Yakovleva Music D.Shostakovitch, Rossini, Verdi Sound Artem Fadeev Production/World Sales SHAR Studio
The Nose or the Conspiracy of Mavericks is a sprawling but carefully controlled artistic study on the role of the artist, the audience and (as always) the nature of the oppression itself. It circumscribes the times and the rise of the Russian avant-garde scene, the Soviet Regime up to the Stalinist purges of intellectuals; it also feels like a cut-out, necessarily fragmented history of the artists who never really lived to enjoy their own fame – no wonder a big part of the film is in cut-outs, which impose a stylised, sometimes exuberant but also restrained movement. […] The Nose or the Conspiracy of Mavericks makes a plea for the artist in each one of us as rare gift to be defended from its oppressors; it portrays a meticulously constructed character stage, it uses music to its advantage, and works best as “total art” output – not downright experimental, and without the need to be radical. It is mostly atonal, and in a welcoming way.
Vassilis Kroustallis Zippy Frames [影評摘錄]
《鼻子,歌劇與史太林》看似結構龐雜,卻是小心經營 的一部藝術影片,探討藝術家的角色、觀眾的作用,以 及導演一貫關注的壓迫究竟是什麼。影片所表現的時代 覆蓋了俄國前衛藝術的興起,以及蘇聯政權的嬗變,直 至史太林清除知識分子為止;影片也像很多段剪得支離 破碎的藝術家事跡,這些人幾乎在生前都享不到應有的 盛譽──難怪片中大量出現剪紙般的圖案,由之形成的 風格化運動,時而奔放,時而克制。
影片為我們每個人心中的藝術家抱打不平,這是我們內 心一份稀有禮物,得善加保護,免遭壓迫者消滅。影片 刻劃出一個精心建構的角色舞台,充分利用了音樂的優 勢,作為「整體藝術」發揮得可謂淋漓盡致──雖非徹 頭徹尾的實驗之作,也毋須刻意顯得激進。音樂主要是 無調性,而且雅俗共賞。

In a world where people belong to either the higher or lower, a citizen suffers from chronic hallucinations due to a motorcycle accident. He has lost his job on top of that and copes by drinking too much at various bars. At one of the places he stumbles upon, a dancehall called “The Yellow Flashback,” he drinks some bootleg liquor made from unknown ingredients, based on a recipe by a retired boxer named Luginsky. He becomes hooked on this bootleg, which exacerbates his chronic hallucinations and increasingly blurs the line between reality and illusion, causing him to experience an irrational turn of events repeatedly.

A good vision is everyone’s want, but it is rare for a real individual, society, or country to be able to have a voice. We all yearn for our voices to be recognised and understood, and even when we are free to speak, we are not necessarily able to speak what we really want, what invisible forces prevent us from saying what is in our hearts?…
