静默与对话:《双姝奇缘》的叙事美学

Silence and Dialogue: The Narrative Aesthetics of the film 4 aventures de Reinette et Mirabelle

侯麦作为法国新浪潮电影的代表人物之一,他的作品常以“对话电影”著称,其中《双姝奇缘》罕见地撇开他钟爱的爱情主题,以城市和乡村生长的两个不同姑娘为主角,通过不同情境中两人的行动、对话与沉默,呈现出两位青年女性迥异的思想和人生态度。《双姝奇缘》的叙事美学体现在三个层面:一是叙事目的在于主人公的自我探索,并通过情感机制强化叙事目的;二是叙事话语与情境紧密交融流露出人物的生命思考;三是叙事风格的哲理化与诗意地还原生活。侯麦以日记式的结构、话痨式的对白和相得益彰的情境推动了电影审美经验的诗性变革,其审美价值在于将巴赞的现实主义电影美学进一步发展为对现实世界的诗意还原,将个体的生命思考、存在样式以简约平淡的方式诗意地展现。

As one of the representative figure of the French New Wave film, Eric Rohmer’s works are often known as "dialogue films", in which 4 aventures de Reinette et Mirabelle abandons his favorite love theme, and takes two girls growing up in the city and the countryside as the protagonists. Through their actions, dialogue and silence in different situations, the film shows the different thoughts and attitudes of young women. The narrative aesthetics of 4 aventures de Reinette et Mirabelle is embodied at three levels: first, the narrative purpose lies in the protagonists’ self-exploration and is strengthened through emotional mechanism;secondly, the close integration of narrative discourse and situation reveals the characters’ reflections on life;thirdly, the narrative style is philosophical and the life restoration is realized in a poetic way. Eric Rohmer has promoted the poetic transformation of film aesthetic experience with diary-style structure, talkativestyle dialogue and mutually reinforcing situation. Its aesthetic value lies in the further development of Bazin’s realistic film aesthetics into the poetic restoration of the real world, and the poetic display of individual thinking on life and existential style with simple and plain style.
