动画大师奎氏兄弟第一次拍摄真人表演的故事长片
为幻想主义主题开拓了一个新的层面
特里·吉列姆称:三百年内最具视觉魅力且不遗幽默的电影,令我嫉妒”
简介:观众被片中幽暗阴森的迷宫与回廊、荒谬突兀的人物情节所震慑;特里·吉列姆(Terry Gilliam)更称此片是一部“最近三百年内我看到的最具视觉魅力且不遗幽默的电影,令我感到嫉妒”的作品。
在创作灵感来自晦涩文学或奇思怪想的作品同时,他们还拍摄了一系列音乐录影短片、广告和电视宣传片以及为歌剧担任舞台美术设计;值得一提的是,彼得·格林纳威的《一加一的故事》便是以奎氏兄弟为蓝本。
《缺席》融合黑白和彩色、真人和动画以及其它一些元素。片中的女人、在精神病收容所里的女画家“EH”(艾玛•豪科),反复地用断裂的铅笔芯给自己的丈夫写着信,在她的窗外,一束持续变化着的光表现着她的精神情绪。配合着这在棱镜般的镜子之间反射的光的,是时有时无的宛如从脑海中传出的女人的悲凄的尖叫——全片几乎没有出现过女主角的正脸,以体现一种匿名性,同时通过其它手法来模拟出她脑中的镜像。
值得一提的是,为本片配乐《一对》(指女人和看不见的丈夫是一对)的作曲家施托克豪斯(Stockhausen Karlheinz)在配乐的过程中哭了,因为这部片子让他想起了自己在二战期间被纳粹抓走的母亲。
黑暗的童话故事,关于一位恶魔医生诱拐了漂亮的歌剧演唱家,想把她变成机械的夜莺。
奎伊兄弟最新获奖颇丰的作品,2005年多伦多电影节参展影片!这对出生於美国费城的怪异双胞胎(1947年6月17日诞生的他们还恰巧是双子座),自1978年搬到伦敦定居后就不想回去。事实上他们的作品也的确一点都不美国,那种灰暗阴沉、近乎潜意识与梦魇、且非传统故事性的影片叙说方式,除了适合伦敦多雨多雾的阴湿天气外,也明显承袭自卡夫卡式的狂乱。这对闭塞隐晦的怪兄弟并且特喜欢捷克偶动画大师斯凡克梅耶,影片之中同样充斥着破败的玩偶、金属与冰冷的材质,他们甚至还拍了部《斯凡克梅耶的橱柜》(The Cabinet of Jan Svankmajer)向其致意。不过奎伊兄弟不像斯凡克梅耶那么外放与大剌剌,他们构筑的是一个封闭、内缩、沉寂,且异常精细复杂的世界,在那里头日常生活中所不断重复的...

The third in the quartet of black-and-white films comprising the Quay Brothers' Stille Nacht cycle (the others being Dramolet, 1988, Are We Still Married?, 1992 and Can't Go Wrong Without You, 1993), Tales From Vienna Woods was also made with the intention of exploring imagery that they planned to develop further in their first feature Institute Benjamenta, which was then in li...
根据奥地利作家Robert Walser的文字片段改编。开头是黑白场景中的幽暗卧室。一个美女不安地睡在床上。超现实风格的屋子色彩很饱和,它好像是被女孩掌控着。影片声音背景有时是各种语言的胡言乱语,有时是Leszek Jankowski的吉他演奏。
With harpsichord music in the background, a dandy, seated at a table, plucks a quill pen from a ceiling full of them above him, dips it in ink, thinks, then draws a straight line down the page in front of him, out of which sprout six more quill pens, each held by a hand. The calligrapher moves all the hands and pens in unison, drawing an elaborate feathered wing, which comes to...
Horacio, a former window dresser, sets up complicated charades where women and life-sized dolls change places in a web of jealousy, betrayal and murder.
A square magnet skitters across a bare courtyard, watched by a puppet from the window. It gradually attracts iron filings, which progressively coat the entire exterior of the building.
The puppet turns from the window and looks in a bowl on the table in front of him. It is also full of iron filings, swaying in a similar motion. As dozens of spoons emerge from the wall behind hi...
另一部为His Name is Alive制作的影片,有着跟《我们的婚姻还存在吗?》相同的意象和主角,场景也一样。一个新角色,戴着恶魔面具的黑衣男子,似乎被魔力束缚,而且魔力来自兔子,它正努力阻止他拿到那只宝贵的蛋。
