導演：小栗康平
Director: Oguri Kohei
天蒼蒼、地茫茫；當天盟誓生死相隨！
無奈你今天另愛別人；心懷歉疚！
伴隨妳左右；只盼能再與妳長相廝守！
蟄伏六年，繼前作《泥之河》（榮獲1981年莫斯科國際電影節銀獎）及《為了伽椰子》（榮獲1984年法國Georges Sadoul Award）後，小栗康平將日本文壇巨匠島尾敏雄的小說搬上大銀幕，拍成他的第三部作品《死之棘》。故事以五、六十年代正值經濟起飛的日本為背景。一段在戰爭中可歌可泣的愛情，十年後以丈夫發展婚外情，妻子患上精神分裂告終。片中以日本文學中「私小說」的形式，描繪一對夫婦面臨破裂的婚姻，並藉此透視戰後的日本社會面貌及日本國民的性格特質。充滿詩意的畫面加上濃得化不開的情意，令全片美不勝收。
Six years after his 1981 Film Muddy River (Silver Prize winner at the Moscow International Film Festival) and 1984 Production For Kayako (Georges Sadoul Award winner), Oguri Kohei directed The Sting of Death which is based on a novel by Toshio Shimao, one of the greatest writers of modern Japanese literature. The film is set during the high economic growth period that Japan experienced in the 1950s and 1960s. Through the downfall and recovery of a married couple, it poses stirring questions for modern Japanese society. It examines the very source of the couple and the family as a form of social intercourse, and graphically depicts the character of the Japanese people in the post-war era using the shi of the Shishosetsu (an I novel similar to the Ich-Roman and a unique genre in Japanese literature). A film whose poetic imagery gushes forth with emotion and of striking beauty, The Sting of Death is definitely a masterpiece of Japanese cinema.

Beautiful, but off-putting
|
"The Sting of Death" is a very strange cinematic experience. The story essentially is about the efforts of a married couple to salvage their marriage after the husband is caught in infidelity. The movie is filled with exceptionally beautiful images. However, I felt quite distanced from any emotional impact of the film by the extreme weirdness of the storytelling and acting styles. I suspect that "The Sting of Death" might work better as an experimental stage play than as a film. Arthouse film buffs may appreciate the film's abundant creativity. Most others will be wondering whether this isn't all some kind of indecipherable joke. |
