《八月》:转型期记忆的文献标本

The Summer is Gone: A Time Capsule of Social Transformation

获得第53届金马电影奖最佳剧情片的《八月》采用非整一性情节与状态化的叙事形态,完成了对20世纪90年代中国社会转型期的怀旧与想象。导演张大磊将自身迷影经验转化为叙事资源,以听点设计完成声音总谱,用音乐为黑白影调"染色",举重若轻地表达了真挚的父子情感,为中国小成本文艺电影的电影节出路提供了观念与技巧上的启示。

The Summer is Gone displays the nostalgia and imagination of Chinese social transformation in 1990s with its fragmentary plot and the prosing narrative. In this autobiographical film, the director Zhang Dalei turns his cinephilia experience into the narrative resources with an elaborated ＇point-of-audition＇ sound design, which colors the black and white image with music. The Summer is Gone expresses the sincere emotions between father and son, with Director Zhang Dalei dealing with the reality in an easy manner. It offers enlightenment in the aspects of ideas and skills to more Chinese low-budget art films in pursuing prizes in film festivals.
