影片介紹
卡薩維蒂的第一部電影,描寫三個黑人兄妹各自繼承了父母相異的深淺膚色,在看似自由的美國社會中,面對工作、友情與愛情裡隱而未現卻真實存在的種族界線,體會到如「影子」般永遠跟隨自己的,便是自己皮膚的顏色。片中以極度自由的手持攝影,捕捉城市夜晚徬徨與不安的氣息,紀錄片般真實的人物塑造,早已標示出卡薩維蒂獨樹一幟的街頭美學。
Shadows is John Cassavete’s pulsating revelation of the world of the night people; chicks, jazz musicians and hipsters in the neon lit desert of Times Square. Overpowering in its immediacy, this brilliant return to improvisation in the cinema etches a compassionate and violent portrayal of an inter-racial love story. |
