本片起用大量素人演员,故事剧情建构在片中演出者的真实人生上,但写实之外,导演更点入了许多神奇超现实的荒诞色彩,夜晚现身的俄罗斯蓝眼猫,缓缓升空的火箭,包含诸多暗示和寓意,搭配壮丽湖泊及美如人间天堂的村景,使得电影中处处充满诗意和平静,被喻为该年度威尼斯影展最大惊喜。 俄罗斯北部一座与世隔绝的岛上,一名驾驶着快艇穿梭于湖中的邮差,便是村民与外界联系的唯一办法。尽管湖的对岸就是文明世界,村子裡的人们仍维持这最简单纯朴的自给自足生活,村里没有政府机构,也没有社会救助和就业需求,邮差成了他们和外面世界沟通的唯一桥梁。每天邮差送信到每一户人家,和不同村民聊这不同的闲话,他关心独居的酒鬼老人,更暗恋着这里的寡妇艾瑞娜,经常照顾她的儿子。然而,艾瑞娜却选择带着儿子到城市工作,而快艇的马达也被人偷了,无法正常工作,他生活的存在和意义被打乱… 影片导演荣获第71届威尼斯电影节最佳导演殊荣。
In Skazka, Alexander Sokurov weaves digital magic to create a phantasmagorical vision of the Afterlife, worthy of Dante. But wait: are we in the limbo of Purgatory, or a paradoxical Paradise reserved for notorious men of world history? Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Churchill and more: all are present and accounted for. Since they exist only as archival media images, each figure comes in a serial set. In the blackest of political comedies, these fallen men beg, in turn, to be let through Heaven’s Gate – but the angels who peek through never open wide. Little wonder, as the former leaders wander listlessly, bitching (in a Babel of multiple languages) about each other’s clothes, hair and hygiene. In what is effectively a work of animation, Sokurov has pulled together many talents into an extraordinary technological feat. It blends pictorial elements from art history to form an endlessly unfolding landscape, replete with fog and ghostly armies of the sacrificed victims of history. Announced as Sokurov’s last film, Skazka is an inspired riff on the high culture of Peter Greenaway mixed with the low culture of mash-up artists Soda_Jerk. Can we now expect some entrepreneur to bring us the interactive Skazka video game?
