威尼斯影展 Final Call !!!

第64屆威尼斯影展的賽果即將於今日稍後時間公佈。

今年合共23部電影參加"競賽部份(In Competition)"，而根據意大利方面的小道預測, 由突尼西亞裔導演Abdellatif KECHICHE 執導法國電影《La Graine et le mulet (Grain of Life/種子與騾子)》及Todd HAYNES用六位演員同時演繹殿堂音樂傳奇Bob Dylan"傳奇片" 《I'm not There》奪最佳電影金獅獎的呼聲很高。而由Brian DE PALMA執導的《Redacted》 , 因題材是描述一位伊拉克少女被美軍士兵強暴及殺害的事件, 亦應會能得到不少反對美國入侵伊拉克的評審歡心,奪獎機會亦不小。

最佳女主角方面, Cate Blanchett在《I'm not There》扮演6位Bob Dylan其中之一位, 性別倒傳再加上神情動作為肖為妙, 基本上成為超級大熱門, 另一位大熱門是英國的Kierston Wareing, 她在《It's a Free World》中演一位當自強的單親媽媽, 易得評判的愛戴。另外, 還可以一爭長短的也有Hafsia Herzi(Grain of Life)及湯唯(色.戒) 。

男主角方面, Michael Caine及Jude Law在Kenneth Branagh的經典重拍《Sleuth》中雙雙表現出色, 也許會雙雙得獎。其他熱門還有Tommy Lee Jones(In the Valley of Elah), Casey Affleck(The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), George Clooney(Michael Clayton)及梁朝偉(色.戒)。

數小時後便有答案。
