跨媒介的艺术对话与文化沟通——从《一个陌生女人的来信》看电影与小说的文本互动

Trans-media Artistic Dialogue and Cultural Communication:The Textual Interaction between the Movie and Novel of The Letter from an Unknown Woman

茨威格的代表小说《一个陌生女人的来信》,以强烈激越的情感内涵与细腻入微的心理描写闻名于世。美国导演奥菲尔斯、中国导演徐静蕾都曾将此文本改编为电影,以视觉艺术的方式来诠释、转换小说原作的艺术魅力。然而,相同的文学底本经过不同民族、不同性别、不同时代的两位导演的改编诠释,呈现为具有强烈差异性的电影作品。从小说到电影,作为改编者的导演,以其当代眼光对文学原著进行重新阐释与再创造,在对原著保持一定程度的忠实的基础上融入了改编者对于作品的独特感受与认识。在对小说"文本接受"的改编过程中,两部电影作品表现出了基于个体与时代差异基础上的不同理解及相应的延续、遗失或增添等艺术转换现象。

The Letter from an Unknown Woman,a representative novel by Stefan Zweig,is well known for its tense emotional connotations and subtle psychological descriptions.Both American director Max Ophüls and Chinese director Xu Jinlei have turned the novel into a movie,trying to use visual art to interpret and transform the artistic charm of the original work.However,the two movies,adapted from the same novel by two directors with different nationality,gender and age,shows a great difference.The two adaptors and directors have reinterpreted and recreated the original work in their movies and added their own unique understandings while keeping faithful to the original to a certain extent.In their adaptation of the novel through＂text reception＂,the two movies have conveyed an artistic transformation of deferment,loss and addition based on individual and temporal difference.
