电子天鹅

7/10 《Electric Swan》2019 Argentina, France, Greece | 40 min Drama 這個短片怎麼説好呢？ 高層豪宅暗喻貧富階層撕裂，沒什麼新意；富家女為了樂趣曖昧門房，也沒什麼意外；老齡富婆借門房的手去殺死自己心愛的老狗，在水面激起一點點漣漪，但也就如此而已…… 不過所有元素加起來，特別是最後門房在跑步機上面變成一隻天鵝，而且還是電子天鵝，又非常南美魔幻現實。開場結尾用國語，更是魔幻。 不過沒激發什麼新思考，不推薦。 Buildings are not supposed to move. But on Avenida del Libertador—one of the main drags in Buenos Aires—the penthouse suite of a high-rise begins to tremble, almost as if it’s shivering. These otherworldly tremors provoke a strange nausea in the building’s residents, who live at the mercy of the structure: the wealthier residents on the top floors are worried about tumbling to their deaths, while the more vulnerable tenants near the ground level fret that they’ll drown from ever-springing leaks. With a deft touch, Konstantina Kotzamani swathes this short feature in a hallucinatory grace, familiar from her prior Cannes-screening shorts. As the building’s residents struggle to survive, Electric Swan sharpens its soft edges into a magical realist skewering of the city’s class divisions. http://www.weareoneglobalfestival.com/events/electric-swan-2020
