1991年戛納電影節(jié)導(dǎo)演雙週單元。作為“大正三部曲”的壓軸之作,本片充滿(mǎn)了肉 欲 色情與荒誕的色彩,講述的是一個(gè)鬼故事,圍繞著日本著名畫(huà)家兼詩(shī)人竹久夢(mèng)二 (1884-1934)這個(gè)角色以及他的作品。角色被導(dǎo)演想象為一名由前搖滾明星澤田研二扮演的沉迷白日夢(mèng)的花花公子,他終日為尋覓女色及死亡恐懼所困。他先後愛(ài)上了許 多女子,卻無(wú)一被他俘虜芳心。同時(shí),他還不斷與同行對(duì)手過(guò)招,卻無(wú)法戰(zhàn)勝他們。為了向鈴木清順致敬,香港著名導(dǎo)演王家衛(wèi)在《花樣年華》中採(cǎi)用了梅林茂的電影配樂(lè),最早則來(lái)自該片《夢(mèng)二》。
Seijun Suzuki’s The Taisho Trilogy marks the apex of his artistic idiom, a style that is totally detached from his previous works of B-quality yakuza quickies. The trilogy successfully reinstates Suzuki as a virtuoso filmmaker after he fell out with the studio and went independent.
All three films are set in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and their male protagonists are intellectuals, in ZIGEUNERWEISEN, Aochi (a hunched Fujita, a fellow movie director dips his toes into performing in front of the camera), a professor of German, is gravitated to his former colleague-turned-nomad Nakasago (Harada) and his unconventional relationship with women, which could imperil Aochi’s own passionless marriage; in KAGERO-ZA, a playwright named Shunko Matsuzaki (Matsuda) is involuntarily hooked up with the wife of his patron, but is she a ghost with a grudge? And YUMEJI is a faux-biography treatment of Yumeji Takehisa (1884-1932), a Japanese poet and painter, whose creativity and inspiration gets mired in his abandon of wine, women, and song.
Fairly speaking, Suzuki’s male protagonists are made up by cowards, Aochi is too retiring and prim to acknowledge his feelings for geisha O-Ine (?tani) and her doppelg?nger Sono (?tani again), Nakasago’s ill-treated wife; Shunko is a spooky fool who is none the wiser in the parlous game of temptation and sadomasochism; whereas Yumeji (rocker Sawada) is reduced to a skirt chaser whose raffish charm is lost on audience. Meantime, Suzuki and his scribe Y?z? Tanaka concoct a counterbalance in the person of Yoshio Harada, who appears in all three pictures (although in KAGERO-ZA, his role is a minor one), and basically plays the same character, the fickle, macho, irresponsible type, who is both attracted and repelled by pretty women, a standpoint streams across the trilogy.
Conversely, the petticoat presentation goes to the mystical, women are insubordinate despite of ostensible submission. In ZIGEUNERWEISEN, Aochi’s anachronistically coiffured wife Shuko (Yasuda, who also play three prominent characters in the trilogy and each time, carries off a different facade of the inscrutability of femininity) is (possibly fantasticated as) a bold temptress, an eroticized and emasculating tease; in KAGERO-ZA, Shinako (Yasuda again, peculiarly prim-looking), the phantom-like entity seduces and mesmerizes Shunko, can not be pinned down with any concrete conclusion, like a banshee, she wails for destruction, but she will not go down that path all by herself; in YUMEJI, variety increases, Tomoyo (Mariya) is a widow who entices and bemuses Yumeji, Hikono (Miyazaki) is the girl who loves him unconditionally, Oyo (Hirota), a frisky fangirl, is good for a fling. Thus the question is, which one is the muse he looks for? None would be a surprising answer.
Suzuki’s stream of consciousness fluidity is so adroit in nailing the yawning gender divide, the mutual incomprehensibility between the two sexes, and his imagery, with the gradation from colorfully subdued to profusely garish (culminated in YUMEJI, an chromatic feast almost too ornate by half), is an astonishing achievement, consistently striking through the trilogy: red crabs out of a dead woman’s crotch, solarized effect, porcelain dolls with erotic drawing inside, particolored balloons, just to name a few off the top of my head. They are so felicitous to the background (whether natural or artificial) and idiosyncratically expressive, their lusciousness is nearly ASMR-inducing. Then, the impeccable compositions often articulated with languid movements (beware of off-the-wall mirror images!), the rich scores mingling together traditional ear candies, jazz-infused effusion (Shigeru Umebayashi’s prominent theme strain of YUMEJi would later be plundered by Wong Kar Wai in his seminal mood-setter IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, 2000) and the recurring Zigeunerweisen for sure, Suzuki’s avant-garde style is so profoundly rooted in the Japanese culture and mentality, yet, his conceit is transgressively modern, pace is deliberately slow, performances are highly theatrical while he flouts the boundary of storytelling.
The truth is, in all three films, the meandering plots never reach a point of clarity, they are dismembered along the line (all three features run over 2 hrs), yet, strangely enough, it is not exasperating, since it is Suzuki’s style of expression becomes the cynosure. Each time, audience are tickled to savor the transcendentally arranged scenery, rather than to decipher the signification of words or actions (which are sometimes contradictory and inconsistent). That said, if one watches all three in a row, it is liable to feel somewhat fatigued, since each film doesn’t possess enough personality to distinguish itself from the other two. Which explains why their ratings are descending, although KAGERO-ZA orchestrates a crucial Noh play to apparently explain the crux, how one can appreciate it varies differently.
By my lights, ZIGEUNERWEISEN is the best among the trinity, for being a more ludic and freewheeling vehicle that is almost unperturbed by affective force, and its psychic elements are more pellucid (a young daughter communicates with her dead father through dreams, versus the elusive suicidal pact in KAGERO-ZA), plus the inclusion of a triad of blind mendicant minstrels, chanting ribald ditties while the hierarchy of their sex preference goes through an irreverent modulation. And my final counsel is one picture at a time, The Taisho Trilogy is a rich mine where numen prevails and creativity brims.

一部成熟得不成熟電影,一場(chǎng)超越現(xiàn)實(shí)的夢(mèng)幻聯(lián)動(dòng),一段沒(méi)有時(shí)空的間歇體驗(yàn),一位有名的無(wú)名之輩,一部有情的無(wú)情之詩(shī),一場(chǎng)有盡頭的無(wú)盡之宴。
全片都圍繞著夢(mèng)二與生命中女性的關(guān)系展開(kāi),可以說(shuō)女性即是他生命的靈魂也是他對(duì)于藝術(shù)追求的媒介。
一開(kāi)始的夢(mèng)中場(chǎng)景就揭示了他最初的愿望:看清夢(mèng)中神秘女孩的臉。此時(shí)有個(gè)白毛男點(diǎn)醒挖苦并威脅了他,他也恨不得殺了白毛男,白毛男卻沒(méi)有死,對(duì)他說(shuō)你我時(shí)候未到??梢钥闯霭酌词撬男哪Щ恚衩嘏撬某跣谋驹?,二者本身矛盾,在后面會(huì)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)(有沒(méi)有覺(jué)得那個(gè)布偶娃娃長(zhǎng)的很像白毛?)。
片中有3位跟夢(mèng)二有直接關(guān)系的女人,而現(xiàn)實(shí)中的夢(mèng)二結(jié)了3次婚。
片中的夢(mèng)二有4個(gè)差異變化的心理時(shí)期,而不同的時(shí)期配以不同的女性陪伴:剛開(kāi)始時(shí)對(duì)于性的渴望和浪蕩女間的嬉戲,只讓夢(mèng)二感到無(wú)趣(浪蕩女那做作的呻吟和木偶般的表情)。其后是夢(mèng)二的初戀女友,因?yàn)閴?mèng)二為了追求理想(口中的金澤便是一個(gè)表象)不得不放棄,但初戀一直對(duì)其不離不棄(俗世中的白月光)。然后是與經(jīng)常接待自己的旅店老板娘閑聊(可能是代表自我意識(shí)中的自我表達(dá),所以老板娘與自己沒(méi)有密切關(guān)系,卻相互理解相互關(guān)懷?)時(shí)期,可以看到夢(mèng)二經(jīng)常表達(dá)自我內(nèi)心的想法(時(shí)而悠然時(shí)而苦惱時(shí)而崩潰,這都不像一個(gè)正常人會(huì)對(duì)外表達(dá)的常態(tài),除非是在內(nèi)心)。然后是與追隨自己的愛(ài)好玩樂(lè)的少女(夢(mèng)二第2任妻子英年早逝年方24,而這位少女一副游玩心態(tài)卻對(duì)夢(mèng)二死心塌地,但她大部分卻只能在白毛身邊且處處擔(dān)心夢(mèng)二,是否有所指?),夢(mèng)二與她在一起時(shí)才能悠然玩樂(lè)也只能玩樂(lè)。然后是真正促進(jìn)了夢(mèng)二藝術(shù)表達(dá)的鳥(niǎo)居夫人,時(shí)而讓夢(mèng)二感到疼苦和迷惑的女人,最后雖然沒(méi)有讓夢(mèng)二追求到藝術(shù)真諦卻被夢(mèng)二當(dāng)作畫(huà)布贈(zèng)送了一幅畫(huà)在身上,代表了夢(mèng)二平生的藝術(shù)成就。
最后的夢(mèng)二再也沒(méi)有女性陪伴,只身處于蘆葦叢中凌亂于風(fēng),代表了理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)的不可得和無(wú)盡頭。
可以說(shuō)理想在夢(mèng)二心中化身成了女性的形象,讓他魂?duì)繅?mèng)繞日夜求索。但每找到一位女性夢(mèng)二都會(huì)失望一次:因?yàn)榻佑|了就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)對(duì)方不過(guò)是個(gè)人而不是神,會(huì)看到對(duì)方身上俗塵的一面。男人與女性的關(guān)系即是相互的又是相對(duì)的,他生命中的女性都在渴求他的肉體而他渴求的是她們的精神,但精神是無(wú)法凝固的,他只能不停的尋找,最終成為無(wú)根之草(可笑的是,世人往往認(rèn)為是男性喜愛(ài)肉體而女性注重精神,但現(xiàn)實(shí)常恰恰相反)。而那些女性與他的糾葛也只會(huì)在得失與愛(ài)恨之間搖擺,讓他日益分裂(每一個(gè)夢(mèng)二遇到的女性都想著占有并與他私奔,而夢(mèng)二卻只想著自己心中的完美女神)。
值得一提的還有個(gè)人:已知玩樂(lè)少女與夢(mèng)二和白毛的關(guān)系很好得出,夢(mèng)二與白毛是同一個(gè)人。后面出現(xiàn)一個(gè)眼鏡男,卻將少女迷得神魂顛倒,且眼鏡男和夢(mèng)二和白毛都很熟絡(luò),猜測(cè)三人應(yīng)該是同一人在內(nèi)心的不同體現(xiàn)(本我自我和超我?)。
白毛象征夢(mèng)二內(nèi)心的欲望只想尋歡問(wèn)柳,所以死亡(烏鴉)會(huì)常常伴隨著它。而眼鏡男代表夢(mèng)二內(nèi)心的理性是個(gè)翩翩君子,所以他莫得感情只會(huì)讓人敬而遠(yuǎn)之。而那個(gè)畫(huà)畫(huà)的夢(mèng)二代表內(nèi)心的純潔整天不想啪啪就想著怎么畫(huà)出夢(mèng)中女神的臉。
鳥(niǎo)居夫人的丈夫(鐮刀男)代表了俗塵男子(與老婆結(jié)婚那種)的下場(chǎng),他手持鐮刀穿著古樸,看見(jiàn)白毛就想砍,是一種世俗傳統(tǒng)的象征。而鐮刀男并不會(huì)對(duì)畫(huà)家夢(mèng)二下手且能與他把酒言歡,說(shuō)明他清楚這個(gè)夢(mèng)二只是個(gè)單純的藝術(shù)追求者并不會(huì)打自己老婆主意。夢(mèng)二卻在鐮刀男身上看到普通人的結(jié)局,造成了他對(duì)于世俗的恐懼心理(從電影一開(kāi)始就看出了夢(mèng)二對(duì)于死的恐懼,所以說(shuō)一切對(duì)于夢(mèng)想的追求都是對(duì)死亡的逃離),也造成他拋棄女性的根源。
本片通過(guò)魔幻現(xiàn)實(shí)主義的拍攝風(fēng)格,展現(xiàn)了一位畫(huà)家對(duì)于藝術(shù)追求的內(nèi)心體現(xiàn),可以說(shuō)每一位藝術(shù)家都有這種對(duì)于理想和現(xiàn)實(shí)的疼苦,甚至說(shuō)每一個(gè)男人都有的疼苦。
從男性誕生于世時(shí),女性就注定成為他心中的羈絆,只是這份連結(jié)是伴隨著矛盾的宿命永無(wú)盡頭的。如果有,那就是死亡。
夕陽(yáng)下 吊鐘花哼唱的歌, 乘著輕風(fēng)飄過(guò)來(lái) 很是無(wú)奈。 等待啊 一心地等待 那人不再來(lái)。 盼夜幕的宵待草 不安地等待, 不要想 我不愿再想 不由地淚灑兩腮, 今晚的月亮 似乎也不愿出來(lái)。

大正三部曲,理想中的電影之一種,極度文藝的鈴木清順的任性與狂迷,色彩,攝影,布景,演員,極佳。50多分鐘的時(shí)候,梅林茂已經(jīng)在這個(gè)片子里用過(guò)《花樣年華》的配樂(lè)了。
純正美術(shù)片。劇情倒在其次,虛無(wú)縹緲得不知所云。鈴木清順+荒木經(jīng)惟+梅茂林。色彩艷麗,攝影考究,美女如云,情色濃郁。
fantastic!
四點(diǎn)五。為數(shù)不多的獨(dú)特電影美學(xué)者。有那么幾個(gè)場(chǎng)景,很多個(gè)場(chǎng)景,望美興嘆啊。比竹久夢(mèng)兒本人的許多畫(huà)要驚嘆許多了。接近結(jié)尾建立人事,早點(diǎn)好不好呢。那種笑容是在這種情況下也有的,當(dāng)然有;是這樣一個(gè)女人。表情反倒是十分微妙的一部電影;最為微妙之一。要找的不就是畫(huà)上的那張臉么。要找誰(shuí);在等誰(shuí)。實(shí)際上懷念的是西式舞廳、日式家室、喝酒的那么個(gè)小碟子和倚手的木東西,如此之中的女子,如此喝醉寫(xiě)下的詩(shī)……而那種真正相愛(ài)的靈魂之愛(ài),基本也是大正三部曲之力量源泉??蓻](méi)有這種情愛(ài)的愛(ài)情,還能不能有靈魂的愛(ài)呢?這么一問(wèn),完了完了,整個(gè)有失偏頗。怎么,我們?cè)娙说募で殡y道只是女人?女人是我們拿來(lái)比喻我們自己之無(wú)限激情的客體好吧。情愛(ài)是有時(shí)候踩到靈魂的游戲罷了。那個(gè)女人永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭,也就是說(shuō)沒(méi)有哪個(gè)女人有畫(huà)那么美,可又錯(cuò)了
竹久夢(mèng)二...荒木經(jīng)惟
拍鬼拍夢(mèng)容易。好好說(shuō)話困難。
字幕爛到死,這路子應(yīng)該很對(duì)CC的胃口,趕緊把大正浪漫三部曲整一套吧。
后半部分基本就看不懂了,導(dǎo)演太不討巧了,很多人物設(shè)定的提示總是一閃而過(guò),忽略掉就完全不能明白了,有點(diǎn)極端了,不喜!
影片是夢(mèng)二的夢(mèng)與人生的交融,將他對(duì)生命的態(tài)度、生活中追求美和享樂(lè)的行為、作畫(huà)的過(guò)程、與女性模特的艷遇,用想象的方式融匯在一起,復(fù)寫(xiě)出來(lái)。片子整體氛圍仍然還是非理性的、曖昧的,并不乏恐怖的因素,雖然這恐怖因夢(mèng)幻的戲謔意味而沖淡了,但“清順的美學(xué)”依舊像天書(shū),華麗詭異難懂?!铩铩铩?/p>
夢(mèng)二不是中二和瘋癲,這里的夢(mèng)二太過(guò)形式主義太過(guò)極端和臉譜化。
鈴木清順大正三部曲之三,一詭二迷三浪漫。最喜歡的一部。青年藝術(shù)家竹久夢(mèng)二之畫(huà)像。配樂(lè)極贊,構(gòu)圖依然精妙,然而最令人難以忘懷的還是極度強(qiáng)烈且完全陷入夢(mèng)幻境地的色彩。實(shí)在妙極。
我就是看看大和族美女們 最后那幅畫(huà)好看
私奔作畫(huà)無(wú)所謂誰(shuí),屠宰場(chǎng)排血管道通向湖底夫君,腌完蘿卜腌大腿,鐮刀追殺狗男女成了反社會(huì)英雄,掃雨如柱掛信物,渣男被認(rèn)定死亡而丟失了名字,背叛皮球放飛天,詩(shī)人迷失吊死鬼之三途川,無(wú)法趕上夢(mèng)中決斗……竹久夢(mèng)二的《宵待草》新說(shuō),鈴木清順導(dǎo)演真-神經(jīng)病的大正鄉(xiāng)愁
雖然看不太懂,但是還是感覺(jué)很牛逼。攝影大贊,畫(huà)面絢爛至極,幀幀如畫(huà)。觀影過(guò)程仿佛又見(jiàn)寺山修司,太像了,荒誕的夢(mèng)魘與囈語(yǔ)。最驚喜是梅林茂的配樂(lè),太經(jīng)典了,王家衛(wèi)的花樣年華也用了,可謂青出于藍(lán),真正的發(fā)揚(yáng)光大了。
3.5
夢(mèng)二受席勒,比亞茲萊和KLIMT影響太大,終歸這么畸形。
