七月三十

Ingmar Bergman
英國《獨立報》7月31日頭版是英瑪褒曼:頭版最能反映報章的品味。

死亡其實是意料中事,但每次聽到心愛導演和演員逝世,卻總是很難受。7月30日星期一,英瑪褒曼和安東尼奧尼像相約好似的,一起離開人世。星期一晚聽到褒曼逝世的消息,腦海立即閃過Fanny and Alexander的父親亡魂、《野草莓》的無指針時鐘、《夕陽舞曲》那個怕死的頑固老頭、當然更少不得那名跟死神下棋的武士。今年原來正是《第七封印》五十周年紀念。

David Thompson在《衛報》專欄說,英瑪褒曼逝世消息傳來,人家問他:「我們還有大師嗎?」他答道:「安東尼奧尼還活着……」殊不知,安東尼奧尼也選擇於同日撤手歸塵了。

一連死了兩個,我連「至少某某還活着想」這想法也不敢有。為非親非故者傷心,或叫外人難以理解;羅馬市長Walter Veltroni向安東尼奧尼致敬的一番說話,大概可道出箇中原委:(引自《泰晤士報》):

Thanks to Antonioni’s cinema we had another view of reality, another way to look at the face of a woman, the design of a car. Even a cloud was not the same thing after having seen his films.

因為這些大師賦予我們一對新眼睛,世界自此不再一樣。

另,主演過La cage aux folles, Nelly & Monsieur Arnaud等電影的法國演員Michel Serrault也在7月29日死了。這則消息除了法國外,似乎沒有多少人留意。

One Response to “七月三十”

  1. Tourist Says:

    當天得知 Bergman 和 Antonioni 相繼離去的消息後,由於他們倆位處於我最愛導演之列,本想寫篇東西悼念一下,但那時有其他事情纏著要做,就這樣過了幾個星期後,頹廢懶惰性格使然也就不了了之……
    (看看未來什麼時候有時間,與心情(這個最重要),再為這兩位大師補寫一篇文章)

    在電影史留下非凡足跡,擁有響亮名聲與松鶴高壽,在人間瀟灑闖一回,建立不朽地位,而且逝世時基本上也是處於停產退休期,只等待和世界說再見,沒什麼遺憾,兩位大師人生至此,也算是笑著離開,我們應該替他們感到高興多於悲傷。
