輕松學英語：BBC選出2015年度十佳電影（雙語）

　　從兩部優秀的紀錄片到兩部我們之前從未覺得會叫好的大片續集，BBC影評人歐文·格萊伯曼為您呈上精心挑選的優秀的影院影片——這十部年度好片你都看過了嗎？

　　10. Amy

　　10. 《艾米》

　　Amy Winehouse made only two albums, and by the time she died at 27, her descent into alcoholism and all sorts of other slovenly behaviour had been so covered by the media that you might think: how could a documentary about her have anything new to discover? But that’s what makes Asif Kapadia’s film such a revelation.

　　艾米·懷恩豪斯只發行過兩張專輯，去世時年僅27歲。她酗酒和其他種種消靡行為被媒體爭相報道，你也許會想：關于她這樣一個明星的紀錄片會有什么新的發現嗎？但正是由于這一點，阿西夫·卡帕迪亞的這部電影也得以成為一部揭秘大片。

　　9. Clouds of Sils Maria

　　9. 《錫爾斯瑪利亞》

　　If the Ingmar Bergman of Autumn Sonata had been a looser and less severe film-maker, he might have come up with something like olivier Assayas’ haunting drama about an actress (Juliette Binoche) who doesn’t realise the midlife crisis she’s going through has become her greatest role.

　　如果《秋天奏鳴曲》的英格瑪·伯格曼已是一位散漫無章、對自己不那么嚴苛的電影制作人，那他就本可以制作出像奧利維耶·阿薩亞斯執導的那些讓人念念不忘的戲劇作品：一名沒有意識到自己正在渡過中年危機的女演員（朱麗葉·比諾什飾），而這竟成為她演過的最好的角色。

　　8. Creed

　　8. 《奎迪》

　　You probably thought the last thing you wanted to see was another Rocky spinoff, but Ryan Coogler’s high-voltage boxing psychodrama is the most exciting popcorn movie of the year. The plot is standard issue, but every frame is a testament to Coogler’s filmmaking bravura.

　　可能你想著最不愿看到的是《洛奇》的另一部續集，但瑞恩·庫格勒的這部高伏拳擊心理劇是今年最令人興奮的爆米花電影了。故事情節雖然老套，但每個鏡頭都是庫格勒電影制作的大膽嘗試。

　　7. The End of the Tour

　　7. 《旅程終點》

　　If you want to see how a movie that’s all talk and no plot can keep you on the edge of your seat, don’t bother with The Hateful Eight – check out James Ponsoldt’s ingeniously drama about David Foster Wallace, a writer so tormented by the convolutions of his egomania that he couldn’t even allow himself to enjoy his own fame.

　　如果你想知道一部只有對話沒有情節的電影是如何讓人堅持看完的，別費心去看《八惡人》了——瞅瞅詹姆斯·龐索特天賦迥異的劇本吧。該片講述的是作家大衛·福斯特·華萊士高傲自負，他甚至都不許自己享受自身的盛名。

　　6. Inside Out

　　6. 《頭腦特工隊》

　　Pixar’s greatest film in a decade creates something I’ve never seen in a movie before: a vision of how our emotions fight and jockey with each other to create who we are. When Riley (Kaitlyn Dias), on the cusp of adolescence, moves with her parents to San Francisco, she sinks into despair, and the beauty of this animated wonderland is the way it turns her depression into a high-stakes game of memory and identity.

　　這 是皮克斯十年內制作的最偉大的電影，里面的一些東西是我在電影里見所未見的：它展現了一幅我們各種情緒相互斗爭、勾心斗角，從而創造出真正自我的景象。當 正處在青春期的萊利（凱特林·迪亞斯配音）跟隨父母一起搬到舊金山居住，她便陷入了絕望，而這部動畫的美就在于它將萊利的消極情緒轉變為一場高風險的記憶和認知游戲。

　　5. trainwreck

　　5. 《生活殘骸》

　　The title – and ad campaign – make it look like the tale of a godforsaken drunk girl, but Amy Schumer’s magazine-writer heroine is a disarmingly functional washout. She loves sex, acting irresponsibly and saying any damn thing that flies into her head. She’s doing what our culture taught her to do, and Judd Apatow’s movie is about this charming lost girl’s journey to adulthood.

　　這部片子的標題和廣告宣傳片使其像是在講述一個墮落凄涼醉酒女孩物語一般，但是艾米·舒默飾演的雜志作家女主是一個功能性缺失的人。她對性愛充滿狂熱，肆意濫交，想到啥就說啥。她的行為是我們文化孕育的產物，而賈德·阿帕圖的這部電影講述的正是這個迷失女郎的成人之路。

　　4. Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

　　4. 《撥開迷霧：山達基教與信仰囚籠》

　　The movie creates the suspense of a thriller, penetrating the hidden depths of cult psychology, explaining – in shockingly close-up detail – how Tom Cruise and John travolta became so enmeshed in and how so many ordinary people gave up their lives and identities to the religion.

　　該電影營造了一種驚悚的懸念，這些全都貫穿在劇中人物極端的宗教崇拜心靈深處，用各種超細節特寫來解釋這種心理——湯姆·克魯斯和約翰·特拉沃爾塔是怎樣淪陷的，那些普通人是怎樣為了宗教犧牲自己的生活和身份的。

　　3. Love & Mercy

　　3. 《愛與慈悲》

　　How do you make a biopic about the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, a pop genius with such a fragile personality that he often had trouble putting a sentence together? Bill Pohlad’s brilliant, moving drama dives deep into Wilson’s instability, portraying him as an angelic basket case who heard voices the same way he heard melodies: as a message from the beyond.

　　要 怎樣制作一部關于“沙灘男孩”成員布萊恩·威爾遜的傳記片呢？這名流行樂天才有著玻璃般脆弱的性格，經常使他難以寫出一句完整的話。比爾·波拉德這部優秀 感人的電影深入探索威爾遜這種失衡，將他這種情況描述成像天使折翼一般，他聽世間喧囂如同聆聽天外旋律一般：將其作為一種來自世俗之外的訊息。

　　2. Mad Max: Fury Road

　　2. 《瘋狂的麥克斯：狂暴之路》

　　No action scenes have ever been this fast or furious; watching them is like playing a nightmarish death-sport videogame. The dark beauty of the movie is that in every razor-edited shot, every slashing duel of jalopies, there is always something at stake.

　　從未有過如此片般快速而激烈的動作場景；看著這些場景，就像是在玩一場可怕的死亡游戲。這部電影的黑暗美就在于每一場精心制作的場景、每一個空戰決斗的場景中，總有什么危如累卵千鈞一發。

　　1. Carol

　　1. 《卡羅爾》

　　Set in a mood-indigo version of the early 1950s, Todd Haynes’s sublime weepie seems an all too obvious cousin of Far From Heaven at first. Yet Haynes has never before portrayed passion with such elegant directness. He turns a 1952 Patricia Highsmith novel into an entrancing romantic voyage tinged with heartbreak. As Carol, who seems a femme fatale until we learn that she’s a devoted mother about to lose everything, Cate Blanchett gives a powerful performance: haughty, tender, raging and full of woe.

　　托德·海恩斯的這部重磅催 淚劇設置在《泡沫人生》版的20世紀50年代早期，乍看之下像是《遠離天堂》的姊妹篇。然而海恩斯之前從未熱情投入到如此唯美的拍攝中去過。他將帕特麗 夏·海史密斯1952年的小說改編成一部令人心碎而又欣喜的浪漫之旅。而卡羅爾，看起來像是一個花街柳巷中的女人，實則是一個將要失去一切的無私奉獻的母 親。凱特·布蘭切特傾力出演這個角色：傲慢、溫柔、憤怒又滿懷悲痛。（來源：滬江英語）
