《致命塔罗》：史诗级巨兽对决

2024-09-22

Probably a bit too grim for a vacation pick, but certainly was a hidden gem. It almost scared me how much these middle-aged existential crises actually made sense to me and how all the crappy and selfish acts that once were so easily condemned had become much more relatable. It's not that people move on and find someone else to depend on after you opt out of the game. It's just that those who are either stupid or brave enough to stay in the game turn against you and blame you for being a coward who refuses to forgo the right to pursue personal happiness.大概一个时代有一个时代的文艺。很难想象当下的文艺能够容许Walter Faber这样的男性作为非反派主角登场——甚至其中女性的形象也充满二十世纪六十年代女性运动以前老派男性知识分子的审美偏好：美丽、柔弱、多情，并且在男女关系中处于从属和依附性地位……当然这不是苛责小说的作者Max Frisch，时代的烙印是抹不去的：风格化的视听语言自身就铭刻着浓烈的上世纪末文艺电影惯见表达——演员们何尝不是代表了一个时代的“一时之选”呢。比较惹人不快的是收尾处Hanna与Faber的冲突放大了文学脚本对女性不友好的感觉，氤氲着古典气息的画面和光影下一个气质绝美的Οἰδίπους式关于宿命和爱情的希腊悲剧也因此堕落成普通的乱伦——何况Sam Shepard现代感十足的美式英语也与整体叙事调性不和，观感因此大为折损。哎……理工男又不等于直男癌。一群青年肆无忌惮地违反了塔罗牌的规则，释放了牌中的可怕恶灵，他们一个接一个地面对命运的审判，使得最终陷入了一场与死亡的赛跑。
