2010-05-25 張士達／坎城報導
第63屆坎城影展於台北時間24日凌晨舉行頒獎典禮，泰國導演阿比查邦執導的《波米叔叔的前世今生》勇奪最佳影片金棕櫚獎，成為史上首部摘下坎城桂冠的「鬼片」。
超現實刻畫東方哲思
阿比查邦2005年曾以《熱帶幻夢》獲評審團獎，算坎城培植的重點導演，也曾與蔡明亮等人一同參與故宮的「發現彼此：國際電影裝置展」。他在《波米叔叔的前世今生》中，呈現一個人與鬼魂、動物和平共處的奇妙世界，死去妻子鬼魂，重回瀕死丈夫的身邊照顧他，失蹤多年的兒子，以紅眼猩猩外型出現，會說話的鯰魚，則引誘公主踏入湖中歡愛，深具東方哲思的寬宏視野與超現實的詩般意境，令人大開眼界。
阿比查邦：感謝鬼魅
金棕櫚獎選擇往往偏保守，《波米》原不被看好奪冠，但由導演提姆波頓領導的評審團膽識過人，該片得獎時，國際媒體大為驚喜。這是史上第６部奪下金棕櫚的亞洲電影，也是10多年來的第一部。尤其正值泰國紅衫軍動亂高潮，與片中祥和世界成強烈對比，連阿比查邦都差點無法來到坎城。
阿比查邦表示：「我希望電影的得獎可以如冷冽清水般，冷卻家鄉不同意識形態間的衝突。」他將得獎獻給泰國同胞，並感謝泰國的鬼魅與靈魂在３年半的拍攝期間一路保佑，他也感謝父母30年前帶他到戲院，讓他發現了電影這個奇妙世界。

Thai film pulls off Cannes shock

The Cannes Film Festival has given its top prize, the Palme d'Or, to the mystical Thai film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.
It beat British director Mike Leigh's Another Year, which was seen as the favourite by many at the French event.
Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the winning film is about a dying man who is visited by his late wife and his missing son, who has become an ape.
US director Tim Burton led the jury that picked the victor from 19 entries.
Uncle Boonmee is played by Thanapat Saisaymar, a roof welder from north-east Thailand whose previous acting experience was limited to TV commercials.
I would like to thank all the spirits and all the ghosts in Thailand who made it possible for me to be here

Reviews of Cannes film winner
Suffering kidney failure, the character is visited by a selection of spiritual beings, both human and animal, as the director uses a dreamlike style to examine the themes of reincarnation and animism.
Variety magazine described it as "wonderfully nutty", while Screen International called it "a beautifully entrancing film… simple in story but complex in structure and subtext".
The UK's Telegraph newspaper gave it a five-star review, noting it was "barely a film; more a floating world".
Accepting his trophy, Weerasethakul said: "I would like to thank all the spirits and all the ghosts in Thailand who made it possible for me to be here."
The director had previously won the third-place jury prize at Cannes with his 2004 film Tropical Malady.
Although it gained a glowing response from critics in Cannes, his latest film was considered a dark horse in the race for the Palme d'Or.
Leigh's Another Year, starring Jim Broadbent and Lesley Manville, stood out for many critics.
Cannes winners Binoche and Bardem
But Leigh, who won the Palme d'Or for Secrets and Lies in 1996, went home empty-handed.
Tim Burton, who chaired the nine-member jury, said: "Each and every one of us has some favorites that didn't make it."
Fellow judge Kate Beckinsale joked: "We tried to invent more prizes."
Critics had also tipped French director Xavier Beauvois' solemn drama Of Gods and Men, telling the true story of seven French monks who were killed in Algeria in 1996.
That film took the grand prize, putting it in second place.
French actress Juliette Binoche won best actress for her role as a gallery owner in Tuscany in the romantic drama Copie Conforme (Certified Copy), directed by Iran's Abbas Kiarostami.

回覆刪除第63屆坎城影展金棕櫚獎，頒給39歲泰國導演阿比查邦（Apichatpong Weerasethakul）所導的電影「邦米叔叔的前世今生」（Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives）。
由美國導演提姆波頓擔任主席的評審團將影展大獎頒給泰國導演阿比查邦，這部電影講述邦米叔叔知道自己不久於人世，希望能死在自家中。在他穿越叢林路上，死去的妻子鬼魂在途中照護他。
阿比查邦是坎城影展常客，算是受坎城影展看顧茁壯。他2002年入圍影展「一種注視」競賽單元；2004年「熱帶幻夢」（Tropical Malady）在坎城獲評審獎。今年新作邦米叔叔更怪、更激進，透過影像創作揉合自然和超自然的新世界／視界，獲得評審團肯定。
韓國導演李滄東新作「詩」獲最佳劇本獎，故事中心是一名老婦人擔心受阿茲海莫症侵襲，決定去上詩歌課程。她一面工作，貼補自己退休生活用，同時發現自己孫子涉入性侵案。李滄東電影時常以不尋常的人物為故事，他在得獎時特別謝謝本片女主角尹靜姬（Yun Junghee）。
不意外地，參與伊朗導演阿巴斯電影「原版拷貝」（Copie Coforme）演出的法國女星茱麗葉畢諾許，贏得本屆影展最佳女主角獎。茱麗葉畢諾許曾與許多不同國籍導演合作過，包括與台灣的侯孝賢合作「紅氣球」。
茱麗葉畢諾許致詞時特別使用英文向導演表示，與他合作是一件很快樂的事。她也在頒獎台上，再次聲援為伊朗政府監禁，並進行絕食的導演巴納席（Jaafar Panahi）。
本屆男主角獎則例外地頒給兩部影片的兩名不同演員，一是墨西哥導演阿利安卓崗札雷伊納利圖（Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu）影片「美好」（Biutiful）中的哈維爾巴登（Javier Bardem），他致詞感謝對象提及女星伴侶潘妮洛普克魯茲（Penelope Cruz），害得潘妮洛普克魯茲淚汪汪，被攝影機抓到。
另一位共得男主角獎的是艾利歐傑瑪諾（Elio Germano），他因演出義大利導演丹尼埃爾盧凱帝（Daniele Luchetti）電影「我們的生活」（Lanostravita）獲獎。
罕見的查德片「一個呼喊的人」（AS creaming Man）獲評審團獎。最佳導演由執導「旅行」（On Tour）一片的法國導演艾瑪里克（Mathieu Amalric）獲得。另一部入圍法國片由法國導演札維耶波瓦（Xavier Beauvois）執導的「人與神」（Of Godsand Men），則獲影展第二大獎陪審團大獎。
本屆影展共有19部劇情長片入圍，共同角逐獎項。影展今晚閉幕。990523
