1、9/10 Excellent Film, Grim and Dark

9星 短評(píng)：出色的電影，冷酷而黑暗

It seems that, every few years, there are one or two Chinese films that, despite being slow-paced, dark, and lacking A-list stars, somehow manage to attract a large domestic audience without being controversial enough to risk complete censorship. In 2014, the only example I have seen so far is this, Black Coal, Thin Ice. The reason for its domestic success is presumably because of its awards at the Berlin Film Festival.

似乎每隔幾年就會(huì)出現(xiàn)一兩部中國(guó)電影，它們雖然節(jié)奏緩慢、黑暗且缺少一線明星，卻能莫名其妙地吸引一大片國(guó)內(nèi)觀眾，又不會(huì)太過(guò)爭(zhēng)議妨礙其過(guò)審。在2014年，我看到的唯一的例子就是這部《白日焰火》。它在國(guó)內(nèi)獲得成功的原因，想必是它在柏林電影節(jié)中的獲獎(jiǎng)。

As the story unfolds, despite being based around a series of murders, the film has a pace more similar to an art-house film than a crime- thriller. A couple of scenes were impressively disturbing, made even more so by the slow paced, subtle atmosphere surrounding them.

隨著故事的展開，雖然基于的是一系列謀殺，該片的推進(jìn)節(jié)奏更接近于藝術(shù)片而非犯罪驚悚片。有一兩個(gè)場(chǎng)景給人帶來(lái)的不安叫人印象深刻，而緩慢的節(jié)奏，以及包圍著他們的微妙氣氛更凸顯了這種效果。

The setting of a polluted, dark, seedy city in a long Heilongjiang winter seems perfect for the noir tone of the film. A subtle musical score, with some dissonant strings combined with (terrible) Chinese pop songs (intra-diegetic) creates a fantastic atmosphere. The closest thing to it I have seen is Suzhou River, which, now I come to think of it, has a lot of similar motifs (I haven''''t seen Diao Yinan''''s previous films).

把背景設(shè)定在黑龍江漫長(zhǎng)冬日里的一座被污染了的晦暗的破敗城市，這對(duì)該片的黑色基調(diào)來(lái)說(shuō)似乎是完美的。精妙的配樂(lè)，配上些不和諧的弦樂(lè)，和（糟糕的）中國(guó)流行歌曲（畫內(nèi)音）一道，營(yíng)造出一種奇幻迷離的氣氛。我看過(guò)的與之最接近的電影是《蘇州河》，現(xiàn)在我想起來(lái)了，它倆有著很多類似的母題（我沒(méi)看過(guò)刁亦男之前的電影）。

The acting performances were all impressive, the female lead (played by Taiwanese Gwei/Gui Lun-Mei) seemed suitably out of place in the Far Northeast of Mainland China. Liao Fan''''s male lead, and Wang Xuebing''''s character, were both impressive.

演技方面的表現(xiàn)都很搶眼，那位女主角（臺(tái)灣人桂綸鎂飾演）看上去似乎與中國(guó)大陸的東北腹地不太合拍，但這種不合拍在這里很是適宜。廖凡飾演的男主角，以及王學(xué)兵的角色都很亮眼。

Despite a bit of dark humour that made me giggle, Black Coal, Thin Ice is a relentlessly grim and slightly disturbing film. I was impressed that it wasn''''t (more) censored in China, as it paints a pretty depressing picture. Despite being enthralled by the film, I won''''t be booking a flight to Heilongjiang any time soon.

盡管里面有很多黑色幽默的部分會(huì)讓我傻笑?！栋兹昭婊稹肥且徊坷淇釤o(wú)情且會(huì)讓人有點(diǎn)不安的影片。能在中國(guó)過(guò)審讓我很是驚嘆，因?yàn)樗枥L出的是一幅相當(dāng)無(wú)望的圖景。盡管我被這電影迷住了，近期內(nèi)我是不打算去訂飛黑龍江的機(jī)票了。

2、9/10 Black Coal, Thin Ice

9星 短評(píng)：黑色的煤，薄薄的冰

I have seen various Chinese films (specially during the ''''90s, the golden age of Hong Kong), but I think Black Coal, Thin Ice is the first (from what I have seen) genuinely Chinese movie, because it embraces the national idiosyncrasy and offers us a revealing look to the culture of that country. Black Coal, Thin Ice is also an excellent thriller on its own right. Its screenplay employs many elements of classic noir: the failed detective, a confusing but vaguely logical mystery and the obligatory femme fatale who might be guilty of the crimes or an innocent victim of circumstances. However, director and screenwriter Yi''''nan Diao filters those components through his particular sensibility, and the result is so natural that it borders on the prosaic. For example, near the beginning of the film, there is a very short shootout, shot almost with apathy... the camera is midway and it barely moves; but the impact of the scene is tremendous, manifesting the easiness with which tragedy can come, completely lacking of the artifice and ornaments we see in many Hollywood films. This doesn''''t mean that Black Coal, Thin Ice feels flat or superficial. The "anti-style" of the scenes and their minimalistic aesthetic is obviously intentional, highlighting the characters'''' opaque lives and the bleak social setting of poverty and corruption, in which dignity and "political correction" are almost inexistent. And all that is frxd by a grey wintry atmosphere, ready to trample human spirit even more. In conclusion, Black Coal, Thin Ice is an innovative and fascinating interpretation of contemporary neo-noir, deceiving us with false clues, obfuscating our perception and saving the revelations for an ending which is as austere and enigmatic as the rest of the film. Black Coal, Thin Ice might not be everyone''''s cup of tea, but whoever is willing to face the challenge of watching something new and unusual will surely appreciate Diao''''s intention and his strange ordinary/dreamlike style.

我看過(guò)各式各樣的中國(guó)電影（尤其是90年代，香港電影的黃金時(shí)代），但我覺(jué)得《白日焰火》是第一部（就我所看過(guò)的影片來(lái)說(shuō)）真正的中國(guó)電影，因?yàn)樗N(yùn)含著這個(gè)國(guó)家的特質(zhì)，并讓我們得以一窺該國(guó)文化的本來(lái)面目。《白日焰火》就其本身來(lái)說(shuō)也是一部?jī)?yōu)秀的驚悚片。其劇本采用了很多經(jīng)典黑色影片的元素：落魄不得志的偵探，一個(gè)讓人困惑卻又依稀符合邏輯的謎，加上蛇蝎美人，她可能犯有罪行，也可能只是個(gè)人境遇的無(wú)辜受害者。然而，導(dǎo)演兼編劇刁亦男通過(guò)他獨(dú)有的嗅覺(jué)對(duì)這些組成部分進(jìn)行了過(guò)濾，得到的結(jié)果是如此渾然無(wú)跡，以至于瀕臨乏味的邊緣。比如說(shuō)，在電影開篇后不久，有一場(chǎng)非常簡(jiǎn)練的槍戰(zhàn)，拍得幾乎不帶感情…攝影機(jī)置于中間，幾乎不作移動(dòng)，但這個(gè)場(chǎng)景帶來(lái)的沖擊力是巨大的，清楚顯示了悲劇可能輕易就會(huì)來(lái)臨，完全沒(méi)有我們?cè)诤芏嗪萌R塢電影中能看到的那些機(jī)巧和裝飾。但這并不意味著《白日焰火》在觀感上會(huì)顯得扁平化或是膚淺。這些“反套路化”的場(chǎng)景及其極簡(jiǎn)美學(xué)顯然是刻意為之，凸顯了人物不透明的生活，以及充滿貧窮腐敗的、近乎荒殘的社會(huì)環(huán)境，在這樣的環(huán)境中，尊嚴(yán)和......幾乎是不存在的。所有這些是由一種灰色的冬日氣氛架構(gòu)起來(lái)的，時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備著進(jìn)一步踐踏人們的精神?？偠灾栋兹昭婊稹肥菍?duì)當(dāng)代新黑色電影的一次新穎而迷人的詮釋，用錯(cuò)誤線索誤導(dǎo)我們，混淆我們的感知，并把揭秘一路留到了結(jié)局，而這結(jié)局就和影片其他部分一樣凝練和高深莫測(cè)?！栋兹昭婊稹房赡懿缓纤腥说目谖?，但那些愿意接受挑戰(zhàn)去觀看一些新鮮而不同凡響的片子的觀眾，一定會(huì)贊賞刁導(dǎo)的意圖，及其平凡而又夢(mèng)幻的奇異風(fēng)格。

3、10/10 Classic Noir meets Chinese Realism

10星 短評(píng)：經(jīng)典黑色電影遭遇中國(guó)式現(xiàn)實(shí)主義

In snow covered streets surrounded by perpetual darkness detectives and suspects are made distinguishable only by the soft glow of neon signs. Faces are shrouded by shadow, characters motives are unclear. We are in very classic noir territory in Black Coal, Thin Ice.

大雪覆蓋的大街被無(wú)休止的黑暗包圍著，這讓偵探和嫌疑犯變得無(wú)法區(qū)分，只能依靠霓虹燈柔和的光暈。臉龐被陰影遮蓋，人物的動(dòng)機(jī)模糊不明。我們就這樣置身于《白日焰火》那非常經(jīng)典的黑色電影疆界之中。

A brutal murder occurs in Northern China. Severed limbs appear simultaneously across the country in coal plants. The investigation into the murder is botched, leaving detective Zhang Zili injured, ashamed and without a job. Five years later, body parts are found in coal plants. Now an alcoholic and working as a security guard, Zhang once again finds himself in the pursuit of the mysterious mass murderer. The only connection between the two cases is a beautiful dry cleaning assistant Wu Zhizhen, who soon becomes the obxt of Zhang''''s obsession.

一樁兇殘的殺人案發(fā)生在中國(guó)北方。被oo的肢體同時(shí)出現(xiàn)在全國(guó)各地的煤電廠中。對(duì)這樁殺人案的調(diào)查被弄得一團(tuán)糟，偵探張自力因此負(fù)傷，不僅在眾人前抬不起頭來(lái)，還丟了工作。五年后，煤電廠中又發(fā)現(xiàn)了o塊。如今的張成了一個(gè)酒鬼，做著保安的工作，他再一次陷入對(duì)那個(gè)殺害多人神秘兇手的追查。兩個(gè)案件之間唯一的聯(lián)系是漂亮的干洗店幫工吳志貞，很快她就成為了張癡迷的目標(biāo)。

An intriguing combination of neo-noir and Chinese realism, Black Coal, Thin Ice demonstrates director Yi''''nan Diao''''s genre literacy. From the lighting, to the troubled anti-hero, to the femme-fatale, the film is full of noir tropes. What makes the film unique is the camera''''s continual shift to the mundane. Unlike the modern Tarantino-inspired trend, the revelations and acts of violence are down-played. Plot takes a back seat to atmosphere as the audience is immersed in a bleak, nihilistic vision of modern China.

新黑色電影和中國(guó)式現(xiàn)實(shí)主義的有趣結(jié)合，《白日焰火》彰顯出了刁亦男導(dǎo)演駕馭類型片的素養(yǎng)。從打光，到惶惑的反英雄人物，再到蛇蝎美人，該片充滿了黑色比喻。讓這部電影變得獨(dú)特的是：攝影機(jī)會(huì)不斷地轉(zhuǎn)入塵世的視角。與昆汀·塔倫蒂諾激起的現(xiàn)代潮流不同，把揭秘和暴力行為作了輕描淡寫的處理。情節(jié)屈居于氛圍之后，因?yàn)橛^眾沉浸到一個(gè)荒涼而虛無(wú)主義版本的現(xiàn)代中國(guó)中去了。

Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival, Black Coal, Thin Ice has been a hit with critics but it''''s hard to see it winning any audience awards. The slow pace and dark, defeatist world view will be a turn off for most audience but if you don''''t view those as detractors, and if you are a fan of noir then this is a film to see.

柏林電影節(jié)金熊獎(jiǎng)的贏家《白日焰火》已經(jīng)取得了成功，也伴隨著批評(píng)，但它并沒(méi)有贏得任何觀眾選擇獎(jiǎng)。對(duì)大部分觀眾來(lái)說(shuō)，這種緩慢的節(jié)奏，及其陰暗、失敗主義的世界觀會(huì)另其興趣索然，但如果你不把它們看成黑點(diǎn)，而且如果你是黑色電影的粉絲，那這便是一部該去看一看的電影。

4、8/10 It Gets Icier By The Minute In China''''s Siberia

8星 短評(píng)：在中國(guó)的西伯利亞，每分鐘都變得更加冰冷

This film noir detective story with fantasy elements takes place in China''''s northernmost corner, Heilongjiang province, in a nondescxt industrial city where the grip of winter gets colder and colder as the story progresses. You will need to pay attention, as the plot is not explained verbally and you have to notice a lot of visual cues. The characters do not talk much really, and when they do utter a sentence or two, it has nothing to do with the plot. You could almost think that the director would be Jim Jarmusch but he''''s not obviously. Diao Yinan has seen an Aki Kaurism?ki film or two, one can tell, and it is no wonder that the film was well received by the Berlin festival crowd. It is not the kind of film Chinese audiences would love, though. This does not make BCTI any worse as a film. It has a dark and twisted, sometimes silly sense of humour. Once you get the hang of it, the plot is easy to follow yet intriguing. Who dun-it - most viewers will not have a clue but neither does the police! The People''''s Republic does not send it''''s finest this far out in the north. They also have very little to work with to be honest. Detective Zhang who is obsessed with the case has been sacked from the force for very obvious reasons including serious drinking. In addition he can''''t skate and he''''s in Heilongjiang, which you will notice is not a good thing. The film wrings a lot of atmosphere from the utterly unpleasant surroundings. Excellent actors add to it. If you enjoyed the Coen brothers'''' Fargo I can see no reason why you wouldn''''t enjoy Black Coal, Thin Ice. In the final scene, the original Chinese name of the film, Fireworks in Daylight, will be explained - sort of.

這部黑色電影中的偵探故事帶有幾分幻想元素，發(fā)生在中國(guó)的極北角落，黑龍江省的一個(gè)毫無(wú)特色的工業(yè)城市中，處于嚴(yán)冬中的城市隨著故事的進(jìn)展變得越來(lái)越冷了。你必須要密切注意，因?yàn)楣适虑楣?jié)并沒(méi)有在口頭上解釋清楚，而且你必須去注意很多目視可見的提示。人物話都不多，而當(dāng)他們說(shuō)出一兩句話時(shí)，卻和情節(jié)扯不上任何關(guān)系。你幾乎可以把這個(gè)導(dǎo)演想象成賈木許，但顯然他并不是。你能看出來(lái)，刁亦男是看過(guò)一兩部阿基·考里斯馬基的電影的，無(wú)怪乎這部電影會(huì)深受柏林電影節(jié)觀眾的好評(píng)。但這不是中國(guó)觀眾會(huì)喜歡的電影類型。但從電影本身來(lái)說(shuō)，這完全不會(huì)讓《白日焰火》減色。它帶著一種黑暗、扭曲，時(shí)而還傻傻的幽默感。而一旦你熟悉了它這種路數(shù)，故事情節(jié)就容易跟進(jìn)了，卻還是能引人入勝。是誰(shuí)干的？大部分的觀看者是毫無(wú)頭緒的，但警方也一樣！在遙遠(yuǎn)的北方，并沒(méi)有派出他們最優(yōu)秀的警察。坦率地說(shuō)，他們也沒(méi)有什么工作可做。沉迷于這個(gè)案子的張?zhí)絾T因?yàn)轱@而易見的原因已經(jīng)被解雇了，包括嚴(yán)重酗酒。此外他不會(huì)滑冰，而他可是身在黑龍江，你會(huì)注意到這可不是什么好事。該片從令人極端不悅的環(huán)境中提煉出了相當(dāng)可觀的氛圍。出色的演員更增其色。如果你喜歡科恩兄弟的《冰血暴》，那我不覺(jué)得你會(huì)有任何理由不喜歡《白日焰火》。在最后一場(chǎng)戲中，該片最初的中文名字，白日焰火，會(huì)在某種程度上得到解釋。
（譯注：賈木許（Jim Jarmusch）是著名的美國(guó)獨(dú)立電影導(dǎo)演，以極簡(jiǎn)主義獨(dú)步影壇，擁有強(qiáng)烈的個(gè)人視覺(jué)風(fēng)格，代表作有《破碎之花》等）

5、9/10 Enigmatic mystery

9星 短評(píng)：高深莫測(cè)的謎

A highly atmospheric and fascinating mystery, set in the working class regions of Northern China. It is compelling from beginning to end, enigmatic, tragic and beautiful. It has no heroes. It ends with heartbreak and farce. It should be watched more than once.

一個(gè)氛圍極為獨(dú)特且引人入勝的謎，背景設(shè)定在中國(guó)北方的勞動(dòng)階級(jí)。從頭到尾都很讓人信服，高深莫測(cè)、極富悲劇性，卻又很美麗。里面沒(méi)有英雄。以荒誕且讓人心碎的方式結(jié)束。是那種應(yīng)該多看幾遍的電影。

It compares, in my mind, to the police procedurals of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.

在我看來(lái)，它可以與馬伊·舍瓦爾和佩爾·瓦勒的警察辦案類作品媲美。

Many people have mentioned an extraordinary scene of violence that occurs early in the film. This is an iconic cinematic moment which you will never forget. It also transforms everything that comes later, lending it an air of ambiguity that is never fully resolved.

很多人提到過(guò)發(fā)生在影片初期的一場(chǎng)異乎尋常的暴力場(chǎng)景。這是一個(gè)標(biāo)志性的電影瞬間，你絕對(duì)忘不了。它也改變了之后發(fā)生的一切，給電影帶來(lái)了一種從未得到徹底化解的含糊不清的氣氛。

6、So dull

未打星 短評(píng)：真是無(wú)趣

There are definitely some impressive technical flourishes here. The lighting and the colors used are gorgeous, and really do highlight a lot of the film''''s atmosphere, which is the other good thing about it. It''''s able to achieve atmosphere in a rather surprising way, but it''''s just too bad hat that atmosphere is wasted and doesn''''t really highlight much. The acting is decent, but the story and the screenplay leave a lot to be desired. The characters just aren''''t developed all that well, and just are so, so dull. The film''''s sense of pacing and development are non- existent. I don''''t think this is anything worthwhile, although I''''m sure many will like it just fine.

影片中絕對(duì)存在一些炫技的成分。打光和顏色運(yùn)用是極好的，它們確實(shí)大大凸顯出了影片的氣氛，這是該片的另一大優(yōu)點(diǎn)。能夠以一種相當(dāng)出人意料的方式營(yíng)造出氛圍，但這種氛圍就這么被浪費(fèi)，而且并沒(méi)有烘托出太多東西，這實(shí)在是很糟糕。演技挺像樣的，但這個(gè)故事和劇本還有很多有待改進(jìn)之處。人物發(fā)展沒(méi)那么好，而且太過(guò)無(wú)趣了。該片沒(méi)有節(jié)奏感和故事發(fā)展可言。我不覺(jué)得這部片值得花時(shí)間去看，雖然我敢肯定還是會(huì)有很多人會(huì)喜歡它。

7、9/10 A Masculine Poet of Northeast China

9星 短評(píng)：來(lái)自中國(guó)東北的一首陽(yáng)剛詩(shī)篇

The movie specializes in the construction of atmosphere and depiction of spirits. Stillness speaks.

該電影專攻氛圍的構(gòu)建以及對(duì)心靈的刻畫。寂靜會(huì)說(shuō)話。
