醉乡民谣

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

导演：伊桑·科恩 / 乔尔·科恩(Joel and Ethan Coen)

He's a messy haired loner strumming an acoustic guitar, struggling to show the world he's got talent. No one cares, and no one wants to listen.

他独自一人漫不经心地弹着民谣吉他，发丝凌乱，挣扎着告诉世界自己的才华。但无人驻足，无人在意。

Set in the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s, the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis is an achingly melodic tribute to an unloved underdog.

故事发生在六十年代的美国格林威治村，科恩兄弟的这部作品描画了一个没人关爱的失败者辛酸落魄又旋律悠扬的生活。

Davis (Oscar Isaac) is striking out on his own after his musical partner goes solo. Along his dour journey, he'll find others vying for similar success and others just trying to survive, in a very Coen-esque manner.

主角戴维斯(奥斯卡•伊萨克饰)在搭档离去后背着吉他孑然一身地独唱。在他阴郁的独行路上，他会发现还有人跟他一样挣扎着触摸光明，还有很多人仅是卑微地生存着，一切都以典型的科恩兄弟式的方式展现出来。

十二宫

Zodiac (2007)

导演：大卫·芬奇(David Fincher)

Zodiac, David Fincher's meticulous, gorgeous and haunting true crime movie, is a deep dive into obsession, following a newspaper cartoonist who becomes consumed by the 1970s Zodiac murders.

《十二宫》是大卫·芬奇一部细腻、惊艳、货真价实的犯罪电影，看过经久难忘。电影通过讲述一名报纸漫画家卷入70年代的十二宫连环杀人案的故事，深刻地疯魔了一把。

Gloriously detail-driven, Zodiac drags viewers into a compulsive world where the smallest hint can be the biggest clue, and it presents the obsessive’s worst nightmare: that, in the end, answers are utterly unattainable.

电影在让人惊叹的细节中发展，把观众拖入一个欲罢不能的世界，最细微的暗示都可能是最大的线索。然而，却给了疯魔者们一个最害怕的梦魇：真相永远不可知晓。

人类之子

Children of Men (2006)

导演：阿方索·卡隆(Alfonso Cuarón)

Here’s a bold statement about a bold movie: Children of Men, like no other film this century, and perhaps no other movie ever, solves the meaning of life.

给这部大胆的电影下一个大胆的评论：《人类之子》不同于本世纪任何一部电影，也许迥异于历史上任何一部电影，回答了什么是生命的意义。

Alfonso Cuarón’s staggering 2006 adaptation of PD James’ novel is rich and vital in its emotional and philosophical depth: its sadness, its anger, its reverence and worry for humanity.

阿方索·卡隆在2006年改编自PD·詹姆斯原著的这部令人震惊的电影，在情感和哲学深度上都极为丰富和重要：它的悲哀、它的愤怒，和对人性的膜拜和担忧。

杀戮演绎

The Act of Killing (2012)

导演：乔什•奥本海默(Joshua Oppenheimer)

Harrowing, confrontational and surreal, The Act of Killing ends with Anwar Congo, the gangster who murdered nearly 1,000 people in 1965-66 following the military coup in Indonesia, coming to terms with his heinous crimes. Possibly. He sobs, vomits and laments the lives he had willfully taken away, and yet we're never sure if he's genuinely repentant or if it's all a high-wire act on his part.

折磨人心、充满对抗和不真实感的《杀戮演绎》，在刽子手安瓦尔•冈戈(Anwar Congo)承认自己令人发指的罪行后结束。从1965年到1966年，在印度尼西亚的军事政变后，安瓦尔屠杀了近千人。他为那些他肆意杀害的生命抽泣、呕吐、感叹，但我们并不知道他是不是真的在忏悔，或者这只是他做作地表演。

The Act of Killing is a piercing, multilayered study about national amnesia, about the power of self-deceit and the questionable morality of truth-seeking. Its status as the 21st Century's most celebrated documentary will likely be preserved for a long time to come.

这部电影是对举国遗忘一段历史这种现象的深刻而多层次的研究，同时也是对自我欺骗的力量和追寻真相与道德角力的探索。它作为21世纪最伟大的纪录片的地位，将会长远地保持下去。

四月三周两天

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days

导演：克里斯蒂安·蒙久(Cristian Mungiu)

One scene, one cut, zero music. Cristian Mungiu's 2007 Palme d'Or winner is a touchstone of the Romanian New Wave, a stark wonder of a film exemplified by visual precision, a bracingly clear-eyed script and glacial detachment. Imbuing a backstreet abortion with the brutal tension of a crime thriller – and abortion was a crime in 1980s Romania – Mungiu evokes the callous and repressive atmosphere of Ceausescu's foundering dictatorship.

一个场景只有一个长镜头，没有背景音乐。蒙久这部作品摘得2007年金棕榈奖。作为罗马尼亚新浪潮的试金石，它以准确的视觉、清晰的剧本和以超然的视角完成了一次质朴的惊艳。1980年代，罗马尼亚堕胎还是违法的，片中的秘密堕胎贯穿着犯罪惊悚片的紧张感，让人想起了齐奥塞斯库独裁统治下无情压抑的氛围。
