11月不可错过的电影
Call Me By Your Name
《请以你的名字呼唤我》
André Aciman’s 2007 novel has spawned a big screen adaptation that’s among the most acclaimed films of the year. Up-and-coming 21-year-old actor Timothée Chalamet plays a young man living in Italy who has a passionate affair with an older academic (Armie Hammer). When it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, BBC Culture critic Sam Adams awarded Call Me By Your Name five stars and praised Chalamet and Hammer’s chemistry, the lush photography of the sun-kissed Italian setting, and the particular nuance and depth of the script. It will be a major Academy Awards contender. Released November 24 in the US.
安德烈·艾席蒙2007年的小说改编成的这部电影是今年最受赞誉的电影之一。刚刚崭露头角的21岁演员蒂莫西?柴勒梅德饰演一个住在意大利的年轻人，他和比他年长的艾米·汉莫饰演的大学生发生了一段火热的恋情。这部电影今年一月份在圣丹斯电影节上首映后，BBC文化评论员山姆·亚当斯就给该电影打了五星，并盛赞了柴勒梅德和汉莫之间的“火花”，摄影师镜头下阳光灿烂的意大利美景，微妙的细节和剧本的深度。该片将是最有希望争夺奥斯卡奖的电影之一，定于11月24日在美国上映。
Thor: Ragnarok
《雷神3：诸神黄昏》
Until now Thor has been the neglected child of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though some liked Kenneth Branagh’s first film featuring the god of thunder, Chris Hemsworth was arguably overshadowed by Tom Hiddleston’s preening popinjay of a villain, Loki. And the second film, the humourless Thor: The Dark World, is widely regarded as the worst film released by Marvel Studios to date. So to inject new life into this sagging franchise, Marvel brought in New Zealand comedy auteur Taiki Waititi to add some Kiwi quirk. This time Thor faces down the goddess of death, played by Cate Blanchett. Thor may have the hammer, but she has the attitude. Released November 1 in Serbia and Hungary, November 2 in Cambodia and Israel and November 3 in India and Canada.
到目前为止雷神一直是漫威电影宇宙被遗忘的那个孩子。尽管有些人喜欢肯尼思·布莱纳执导的《雷神》第一部，但主演克里斯·海姆斯沃斯的风头显然被汤姆·希德勒斯顿饰演的自负反派洛基给盖过了。《雷神》第二部被公认为漫威有史以来最糟的电影。所以，为了给这个走下坡路的系列注入新活力，漫威在拍第三部时请来了新西兰喜剧电影导演泰卡瓦蒂蒂，给电影增加一些新西兰人的奇思妙想。这一次雷神要降服的对手是由凯特·布兰切特饰演的死神。雷神也许有锤子，但死神有气派。影片于11月1日在塞尔维亚和匈牙利上映，11月2日在柬埔寨和以色列上映，11月3日在印度和加拿大上映。
Coco
《寻梦环游记》
In an industry enthralled to rehashed stories that strike a familiar chord with audiences, give Pixar credit for often trying something new and pushing their viewers into uncharted territories. Coco, directed by Toy Story 3’s Lee Unkrich, has a visual look based around Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It’s about a young boy named Miguel who idolises legendary guitar player Ernesto de la Cruz and wants to learn how to play as well as he could. So he goes on a transformative odyssey of self-discovery into the realm of the dead to find his long-deceased idol and learn some lessons about the nature of creativity and originality. Whether it can reach the heights of Pixar’s 2015 masterpiece Inside Out remains to be seen, but Coco should surely be a feast for the eyes. Released November 15 in France, November 22 in the US, Croatia and the Philippines, and November 30 in Israel.
在动画电影行业执迷于翻拍让观众有共鸣的老故事时，皮克斯却总能尝试新事物，把观众带到从未踏足的新领域。《寻梦环游记》由《玩具总动员3》导演李·昂克里奇执导，该片的视觉效果基于墨西哥的亡灵节。故事讲述了一个名叫米格尔的小男孩崇拜传奇吉他手克鲁兹，想学习如何能弹奏得和他一样好。于是他就像奥德赛一样踏上了改造性的自我发现之旅，进入死亡之地寻找那位已去世多年的偶像，还受到了一些关于创造力本质的教导。《寻梦环游记》是否能达到皮克斯2015年杰作《头脑特工队》的高度尚未可知，但这部电影绝对是一场视觉盛宴。该片将于11月15日在法国上映，11月22日在美国、克罗地亚和菲律宾上映，11月30日在以色列上映。
Good Time
《好时光》
Have any franchise-leading duo reinvented themselves as spectacularly as Twilight’s Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson? Both have become art-house mainstays. Pattinson’s latest Good Time, keeps going his recent pattern of looking fairly unrecognisable. After he transformed himself with shaggy beard and spectacles in The Lost City of Z he now has bleach-blond hair as a bank robber who tries to pull off the perfect heist in New York City, only to get his younger brother (Ben Safdie), who suffers from a developmental disability, arrested for the crime. He tries to use the money he stole to post his brother’s bail, but complications ensue. Many complications. In addition to appearing as the younger brother, Safdie co-directs the film with his own brother Josh Safdie, and Good Time was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at Cannes. Released November 3 in Japan, November 17 in the UK and Ireland and November 23 in Greece.
还有哪对系列电影的荧幕情侣可以像《暮光之城》的克里斯汀·斯图尔特和罗伯特·帕丁森这样成功开创戏路呢？两个人都成为了影坛名角。帕丁森在最新作品《好时光》中延续了他近年来这种让人几乎认不出的造型风格。在《迷失Z城》中，他把自己打扮成胡子蓬乱的眼镜男，如今他又把头发染成亚麻色，变身为一个试图在纽约完美做案，结果却让患有发育性残疾的弟弟被捕的银行抢劫犯。他试图用盗取的钱来给弟弟交保释金，结果麻烦接踵而至。很多的麻烦。除了饰演弟弟一角外，本·萨弗迪还和自己的哥哥约书亚·萨弗迪共同执导了这部电影。《好时光》入围了今年戛纳电影节的主竞赛单元，参与角逐金棕榈奖。该片于11月3日在日本上映，11月17日在英国和爱尔兰上映，11月23日在希腊上映。
