BBC新剧《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(暂译:安妮 李斯特的秘密日记) 《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(暂译作:安妮 李斯特的秘密日记)是一部大胆并且充满热情的新电视剧,该剧由Jane English编写、James Kent执导,Maxine Peake担当主演并将在BBC2台播出。 Anne Lister(1791年—1840年)是约克郡的一个地主、企业家、旅行家和日记作者。同时她还是一个女同性恋。尽管当时的社会需要她最大限度地保守这个秘密,而她则以与同性爱人同居的方式来反抗社会传统观念。 Anne用一本四百万字的日记,事无巨细地记载了她的生活、爱情和情感,字里行间充满了吸引力和令人心痛的真诚。日记中相当大的一部分都是用密码记录的,最近对这部日记的解密工作让人们在惊讶之余进一步了解这位号称英国现代女同性恋第一人的她。 Anne Lister那非凡的日记和她那真实却又不同寻常的生活,奠定了《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(安妮 李斯特的秘密日记)这部影视作品的基础。 这部只有一集,时长90分钟的剧集汇集了众多闪耀的明星,包括Anna Madeley;Susan Lynch;Christine Bottomley;Gemma Jones;Dean Lennox Kelly和Tina O’Brien。 与此片同步推出的纪录片由喜剧作家兼推广人的Sue Perkins向我们讲述Anne Lister的故事,并跟我们解密她的日记。 BBC2台的管理员Janice Hadlow是这么说的:“它就像是Brontes姐妹(注:英国著名是三姐妹作家,和Anne Lister是同一个时代的人)的世界一样,不过和人们所想的不同,带着点扭曲的意味。这些非凡的日记向我们展示了19世纪约克郡的生活与爱情,比起你所读到过的名著小说,它更加非同一般,更加惊人。”

The story of Parker’s new effort, penned by William “Billy” Ivory, is inspired by true events and is set in the summer of 2014. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France, octogenarian Bernard Jordan (played by Michael Caine) made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades. The bittersweet script is said to explore “the reality with wit and a very big heart”. Bernie’s adventure, spanning just 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson). The film will also celebrate “their love without any sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we might all learn from the Greatest Generation”.
A sinister, neurotic white girl Lula, with the provocation of her lovely, half-naked body and of her startlingly lascivious speech, lures to his doom a good-looking young black man Clay, a stranger whom she has picked up in the subway and whom she mocks for wearing the clothes and employing the voice and manners of the conventional white intellectual. The man, who, at first seeing no reason to resist the girl's advances, perceives too late that he is being used by her, drops his "white" disguise, and launches a wild and bitter counterattack on her and on the entire white race.

The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history, laying waste not only to Europe’s people but also its infrastructure, institutions and its moral foundations. Only at the war’s end was the true scale of human suffering and misery revealed, and so devastating was the scene that Europe was dubbed ‘The New Dark Continent'. But for civilians in particular, liberation often marked not the end of their troubles but the beginning of new ones, with famine and disease widespread and an atmosphere thick with ethnic tension and revenge. This film will re-examine the aftermath of the War to ask if too much stress has been laid on an optimistic view of victory in Europe with celebratory images of VE day and newsreel coverage of the liberation of places like Paris. While narratives of hope and reconciliation are important, are parallel stories showing the darker side of peace yet to receive due prominence? Liberation was bitter, bloody and vengeful, and there were profound and pervasive fears that the peace could be lost. Through rare archive and unique personal testimony, this film reveals the ‘poisoned peace’ of 1945 to throw light on a post-war Europe where civilisation teetered on the brink of chaos, but the story of the transition from war to peace forms the hinge on which modern European history turns.
