诺拉

九十年代的沙特阿拉伯因早年的政治变革社会风气日趋保守，任何形式的艺术创作都被视为异端，女性外出亦须穿着全黑头巾及罩布，只能露出一双眼睛。正值花样年华的Norah生在偏远村落，从小就向往大城市的多姿多采，不甘只作传统女性一辈子在家相夫教子，但三姑六婆为她安排的婚期已推无可推。有日村上来了城市出身、原为画家的新老师，令她犯下禁忌仍竭力追求，只为一幅属于自己的画像。Tawfik Alzaidi的长片出道作讲述一男一女于这个艺术有罪的年代追求自由的故事，成为首部入选康城影展的沙特电影，更夺得一种关注单元特别表扬。

　　阿诺拉是布鲁克林的性工作者，她邂逅了一个商界寡头的儿子并在冲动之下嫁给了他，这让她以为自己像灰姑娘一样终于遇到自己的王子。然而当结婚消息传到了俄罗斯，男方父母来到纽约取消婚姻，破灭了的阿诺拉的童话。

　　诺拉的婚姻令她的生活发生了巨大的转变：从边远省份来到国家首都莫斯科，和她的知名科学家丈夫一起，居住在一个条件优越的秘密机构。诺拉的母亲自她婚后第一次来看望她，这不仅是一次母亲对女儿的平常问候，也是对她生活的全面观察与无痕压迫——诺拉和丈夫之间似乎出现了问题，而家庭矛盾的背后是更深层的割裂与叹息。封闭的场景困住了角色，模糊了现实与戏剧的边界，诺拉的“平行人生”在小小的一方天地里看似按部就班地上演。

　　Three years after the loss of his brother Vittorio, with whom he shared his entire career, Paolo Taviani returns to the works of Luigi Pirandello, which the pair adapted in 1984 (Chaos) and 1998 (You Laugh). In keeping with the Sicilian playwright’s vision, the film is not at all what it appears to be. The title may come from a 1910 novella, but there is no trace of that book’s jealousy-riddled plot. Instead, the focus is on Pirandello himself, or rather, his ashes, which are transported from a hasty burial site in fascist Rome to a permanent resting place in Sicily, on a trek that takes us through post-war Italy and its filmed memories, as seen in newsreels, amateur films and fragments of Neorealism. Having buried the master, Leonora addio then shifts gear from road movie to film adaptation, but here it picks a different Pirandello story, namely the last one, written shortly before his death in 1936. From the farewell of the title to its return to the writer’s last words, it is hard not to read this work, so free and yet so much a part of the Taviani world, as a moving brotherly farewell which, just as in 2012’s Golden Bear winner Caesar Must Die, once again uses cinema to give voice to literature and history.
