This article explores the bodily and psychological dimensions of Tony Leung Chiu-wai’s performance in Andrew Lau and Alan Mak’s urban noir thriller, Infernal Affairs (2002), as a way of trying to comprehend the actor’s flexible, transnational stardom. Through a textual analysis of a pivotal scene from the film, the article argues that Leung’s facial acting facilitates an embodied and empathetic connection between the actor and the spectator, effectuated through cinematic techniques such as close-ups, editing and music. An embodied understanding of Leung’s facial work in the close-up thus challenges the existing scholarship that limits Leung’s transnational appeal to a restrained or minimalist acting style. A greater appreciation of Leung’s modulating, flexible and multi-layered performance is also illustrated through the scene’s juxtaposition of narrative and spectacle. The rupturing of the spectator’s empathetic and bodily engagement with Leung’s character during the spectacle sequence encourages the actor to shift his emotional response and bodily expressivity towards a performance delivery dictated by a flexible identity, thus bringing into relief the film’s preoccupation with a postcolonial identity crisis.
本文探讨了梁朝伟在刘家辉和麦家伦执导的都市黑色惊悚片《无间道》(2002)中的表演的身体和心理层面,以此试图理解这位演员灵活的跨国明星。通过对影片中一个关键场景的文本分析,文章认为梁朝伟的面部表演通过特写、剪辑和音乐等电影技巧,促进了演员与观众之间的体现性共鸣联系。因此,对梁朝伟在特写镜头下的面部表演的体现性理解,对现有学术界将梁朝伟的跨国魅力局限于克制或简约的表演风格提出了挑战。梁朝伟的表演具有调节性、灵活性和多层次性,这一点也可以通过该场景中叙事性和观赏性的并置得到更好的诠释。在奇观片段中,观众对梁朝伟角色的共鸣和身体参与被打破,这促使梁朝伟将其情感反应和身体表现力转向灵活身份所决定的表演方式,从而缓解了影片对后殖民地身份危机的关注。

Documenting Chinese homecomings: Reflexive aesthetics and cinematic memories in Four Springs (2017) and The Reunions (2020) 记录中国人的回家:四个春天》(2017)和《团圆》(2020)中的反思美学与电影记忆

This article examines two contemporary Chinese films that document the filmmakers’ homecoming journey during the Chinese New Year: Sige chuntian (Four Springs) () and Jixiang ruyi (The Reunions) (). It argues that both films have the characteristic of being reflexive documentaries exploring and expanding the boundaries of documentary films. According to Meunier’s three types of filmic identifications – the documentary attitude, the home-movie attitude and the fiction attitude – the two films challenge documentary norms and combine the documentary attitude with the other two types of attitude. Four Springs combines documentary and home movie by closely capturing the four journeys of homecoming confined in the private sphere of the filmmaker’s home, whilst The Reunions combines documentary and fiction, and even actuality and performance, through actor Liu Lu’s portrayal of the director Da Peng’s cousin in the presence of his real family. By challenging these documentary forms, these two films reflect the directors’ uses of documentary to memorialize their personal experiences with their families, more than merely reflecting the cultural phenomenon of the Chinese New Year homecoming.
本文探讨了两部中国当代电影,它们记录了电影制作人在春节期间的返乡之旅:四个春天》和《吉祥如意》。研究认为,这两部影片都具有反思性纪录片的特征,探索并拓展了纪录片的边界。根据穆尼埃的三种电影认同类型--纪录片态度、家庭电影态度和虚构态度,这两部影片挑战了纪录片规范,并将纪录片态度与其他两种态度相结合。四个春天》将纪录片与家庭电影结合起来,紧紧抓住了电影制作人家庭这一私人领域中的四次返乡之旅;而《团圆》则将纪录片与虚构结合起来,甚至将真实与表演结合起来,演员刘露在导演大鹏的表弟面前扮演了他的真实家人。通过对这些纪录片形式的挑战,这两部影片反映了导演们利用纪录片来纪念他们与家人的个人经历,而不仅仅是反映春节回家这一文化现象。

This article’s title originates from a line spoken by a revolutionary towards the end of the film Red Army/PFLP: Declaration of World War. Like the film born of the collaboration of politically radical Japanese experimental filmmakers and revolutionaries, this examination concerns revolution itself as a film subject. More specifically, it interrogates this film as a revolutionary tool and the limitations thereof, as well as revolution and revolutionaries captured in the film and the revolutionary as embodied in the film’s maker Masao Adachi. What it produces might be termed ‘the revolutionary subject’.
本文的标题源自电影《红军/人阵:世界大战宣言》结尾处一位革命者的台词。与这部由政治激进的日本实验电影制作人和革命者合作拍摄的电影一样,本文也将革命本身作为电影主题进行探讨。更具体地说,它审视了这部作为革命工具的电影及其局限性,以及电影中捕捉到的革命和革命者和电影制作人足立正夫所体现的革命者。它所产生的结果可以被称为 "革命主题"。

Sisworo Gautama Putra’s Primitives and the paradox of savagery 西斯沃罗-高塔玛-普特拉的《原始人》与野蛮的悖论

This article discusses the lone outlier associated with the cannibal boom of European exploitation films in the 1970s and 1980s – with the main point of diversion being that Sisworo Gautama Putra’s film is an Indonesian production rather than the typical Italian fare. Being an Asian film that emulates the traditionally European style of cannibal film, Primitives opens a larger discussion about the role of the theoretical savage and the implications thereof, put in place by ghosts of imperialism and cinematic mimicry. The author explores these concepts with psychoanalytic input, opting to unpack the rationality behind an Indonesian film following the same imperialist notions utilized by the preceding Italian directors, which ultimately results in a subdivision of the artificial–natural dichotomy: the meta-natural.
本文讨论的是《原始人》(Primitives)这部与 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代欧洲剥削电影的食人热潮相关的影片--其重点在于,Sisworo Gautama Putra 的影片是一部印尼作品,而非典型的意大利作品。作为一部模仿欧洲传统食人电影风格的亚洲电影,《原始人》引发了一场关于理论上野蛮人的角色及其影响的大讨论,帝国主义的幽灵和电影的模仿使其成为现实。作者以精神分析的视角探讨了这些概念,选择解读一部印尼电影背后的合理性,这部电影沿用了前面几位意大利导演所使用的帝国主义概念,最终形成了人工-自然二分法的细分:元自然。

‘Luso-orientalism’: Portuguese Asian ‘imagined communities’ in Estado Novo film propaganda 葡萄牙-东方主义":新国家计划电影宣传中的葡萄牙亚裔 "想象中的社区

Portuguese filmography on Portuguese Asia during the Estado Novo is limited. Additionally, much of this filmography appeared late and while also espousing a Luso-tropicalist rhetoric that sought to project the bygone mythical importance of a formerly vast empire. During the dictatorship, however, the colonies in the East held symbolic value. I propose that the scarcity of films on the ‘Portuguese Orient’ stems from this symbolic value of an imagined community that is evoked more through its vagueness than through its visual representation. With the emergence of tensions between Portugal and India regarding the control of Portuguese India in 1947, and the beginning of the independence war in Angola in 1961, interest in filming Portugal’s eastern colonies arose from the need to sediment a Luso-orientalist discourse that ignored the broad range of local characteristics and the myriad differences that existed between Africa and Asia and, moreover, between various colonies within those regions.
葡萄牙关于新国家统治时期葡萄牙亚洲的电影作品非常有限。此外,这些电影作品大多出现得较晚,而且还信奉葡京-热带主义言论,试图将逝去的昔日庞大帝国的重要性神话化。然而,在独裁统治时期,东方殖民地具有象征意义。我认为,有关 "葡萄牙东方 "的电影数量稀少,正是源于这种象征性价值。随着 1947 年葡萄牙与印度在控制葡属印度问题上出现紧张局势,以及 1961 年安哥拉独立战争的爆发,人们对拍摄葡萄牙东方殖民地产生了兴趣,因为需要沉淀葡萄牙东方主义的话语,这种话语忽视了非洲和亚洲之间,以及这些地区内不同殖民地之间存在的广泛的地方特色和无数差异。

The response to Jimmy Wang Yu’s death in April 2022 revealed the symptoms of undercelebration: while every professional obituary recognized the late filmmaker’s importance, few could explain why without inaccuracy or misattribution. This resonates with a long tradition of subjugating Wang’s work within the context of other, much more integral figures, in which the cultural and economic motivators for his filmic aesthetics are insufficiently considered. Similarly, various elements of Wang’s work, especially his purported anti-Japanism, have long been subjected to conjecture and simplification, or else an overreliance on the incorporation of biographical details into textual analyses of his films. This article aims to disentangle and clarify the myths and misconceptions that complicate the story of Wang’s career. To avoid repeating prior mistakes – i.e., to prevent the narrative distortion of associated figures within Wang’s narrative – the article will use the political economy of cinema as a guiding framework. The overall aim is to present a decentralized view of The Chinese Boxer (1970) to evaluate the cultural and material factors that motivated Wang’s career peak and the film for which he is most remembered.
对吉米·王宇于2022年4月去世的回应揭示了内心深处的恐惧:虽然每一份专业讣告都承认这位已故电影制作人的重要性,但很少有人能在不准确或不准确的情况下解释原因。这与王在其他更为完整的人物背景下征服作品的长期传统产生了共鸣,在这些人物背景下,他电影美学的文化和经济因素没有得到充分考虑。同样,王作品中的各种元素,尤其是他所谓的抗日主义,长期以来一直受到猜测和简化,或者过度依赖于将传记细节纳入对其电影的文本分析。这篇文章旨在解开和澄清使王的职业生涯复杂化的神话和误解。为了避免重蹈覆辙,即防止王叙事中相关人物的叙事扭曲,本文将以电影的政治经济学为指导框架。总体目标是呈现《中国义和团》(1970)的分散视角,以评估促使王职业生涯达到顶峰的文化和物质因素,以及他最为人所铭记的电影。

Queer voice(over): Reassembling female desire in Chinese cinema 酷音(结束):中国电影中的女性欲望重组

This article discusses Chinese director Ning Ying’s 2006 film wuqiongdong (Perpetual Motion) with an emphasis on the development of queer voice(over) – a queer feminist aesthetic achievement that subverts and perverts the heteropatriarchal suppression of women’s desire. Specifically, I analyse the ways queer figure’s voice-over interacts with haptic visuality, contemporaneous image and the intertextual references between film-texts and exterior texts about the film. I argue, through queer voice(over), Perpetual Motion expands its theme beyond the issue of infidelity in a heterosexual marriage, develops a cinematic critique to the twentieth-century Chinese feminist movements and articulates female desires from multiple registers of senses, psychology and historical subjectivity. In Chinese cinema where queer voices are usually marginalized, Ning’s queer voice(over) establishes a mutually referent relation between queer and heteronormative storylines, thus circumventing the state censorship and adding queerness into Chinese-language feminist debates and cinematic expression.
本文讨论了中国导演宁英2006年的电影《永远的运动》,重点探讨了酷儿声音(画外音)的发展,这是一项颠覆和扭曲异族父权制对女性欲望压制的酷儿女权主义美学成就。具体而言,我分析了酷儿形象的画外音与触觉视觉、同期图像以及电影文本与电影外部文本之间的互文参考的互动方式。我认为,通过酷儿配音(画外音),《永恒运动》将其主题扩展到异性婚姻中的不忠问题之外,对20世纪的中国女权运动进行了电影批判,并从感官、心理和历史主体性的多个方面阐述了女性欲望。在酷儿声音通常被边缘化的中国电影中,宁的酷儿声音(画外音)在酷儿和非规范的故事情节之间建立了一种相互参照的关系,从而规避了国家审查,并在中文女权主义辩论和电影表达中加入了酷儿色彩。

In children’s eyes: Historical and ethnographic value of child perspectives in 1960s South Korean cinema 儿童眼中:1960年代韩国电影中儿童视角的历史与民族志价值

Child protagonists have been relatively uncommon in Korean cinema. This article, however, draws attention to two films from 1965 that both feature child protagonists: Sorrow Even up in Heaven (Kim) and The DMZ (Park). The article’s interest in these two films is twofold, found both in and beyond the diegesis. On a diegetic level, the emphasis on child perspectives plays a crucial function in refraining serious fictional narratives from following an adult’s expected (and melodramatic) narrative development. Such a pattern not only offers a creative glimpse into the world of children but also becomes a means through which filmmakers tactfully avoided the intensifying censorship of 1960s Korea. And yet, the filmmakers’ subtle criticisms of society, though unspoken in the diegesis, are almost osmotically imbued in the highly sociopolitical settings of the narratives. Thus, the resulting juxtaposition (and paradoxical discrepancy) between the settings and the children’s obliviousness become crucial in allowing viewers – at least contemporary ones – to recognize the unspoken social and political issues of the 1960s. Beyond the diegesis, the child is also crucial in having provided an opportunity to capture sensitive environments of the 1960s through its dedication to child perspectives that created a documentary-like realism. Thus, I argue the role of the child in these films to be not only a tool by which artists delicately avoided political criticism in the 1960s but also a vehicle that enabled rare archives into a forgotten past.
儿童主角在韩国电影中相对少见。然而,这篇文章引起了人们对1965年的两部电影的关注,这两部电影都以儿童为主角:《天堂里的悲伤》(金)和《非军事区》(公园)。这篇文章对这两部电影的兴趣是双重的,既可以在diegesis中找到,也可以超越diegesis。在叙事层面上,对儿童视角的强调在阻止严肃的虚构叙事遵循成年人预期(和情节剧)的叙事发展方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这种模式不仅提供了对儿童世界的创造性一瞥,而且成为电影制作人巧妙地避免20世纪60年代韩国日益严格的审查制度的一种手段。然而,电影制作人对社会的微妙批评,尽管在叙事中没有说出来,但几乎渗透到了叙事的高度社会政治背景中。因此,由此产生的环境和孩子们的冷漠之间的并置(以及矛盾的差异)对于让观众——至少是当代观众——认识到20世纪60年代未言明的社会和政治问题至关重要。除了死亡,儿童也至关重要,因为它通过致力于儿童视角,创造了纪录片般的现实主义,提供了一个捕捉20世纪60年代敏感环境的机会。因此,我认为,儿童在这些电影中的角色不仅是艺术家们在20世纪60年代巧妙地避免政治批评的工具,而且也是一种工具,使罕见的档案成为被遗忘的过去。
{"title":"In children’s eyes: Historical and ethnographic value of child perspectives in 1960s South Korean cinema","authors":"Jinsoo An","doi":"10.1386/ac_00060_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/ac_00060_1","url":null,"abstract":"Child protagonists have been relatively uncommon in Korean cinema. This article, however, draws attention to two films from 1965 that both feature child protagonists: Sorrow Even up in Heaven (Kim) and The DMZ (Park). The article’s interest in these two films is twofold, found both in and beyond the diegesis. On a diegetic level, the emphasis on child perspectives plays a crucial function in refraining serious fictional narratives from following an adult’s expected (and melodramatic) narrative development. Such a pattern not only offers a creative glimpse into the world of children but also becomes a means through which filmmakers tactfully avoided the intensifying censorship of 1960s Korea. And yet, the filmmakers’ subtle criticisms of society, though unspoken in the diegesis, are almost osmotically imbued in the highly sociopolitical settings of the narratives. Thus, the resulting juxtaposition (and paradoxical discrepancy) between the settings and the children’s obliviousness become crucial in allowing viewers – at least contemporary ones – to recognize the unspoken social and political issues of the 1960s. Beyond the diegesis, the child is also crucial in having provided an opportunity to capture sensitive environments of the 1960s through its dedication to child perspectives that created a documentary-like realism. Thus, I argue the role of the child in these films to be not only a tool by which artists delicately avoided political criticism in the 1960s but also a vehicle that enabled rare archives into a forgotten past.","PeriodicalId":41198,"journal":{"name":"Asian Cinema","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44082013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
