一场在丹麦地方富绅海吉豪宅中举行的周末家庭聚会,是为了庆祝他六十岁大寿而筹办的。他的儿子与媳妇、女友与男友,还有几位亲友齐聚一堂为他庆生。不过原来该是融洽的热闹的晚宴,却笼罩着诡异的气氛,仿佛海吉两周前自杀身亡的女儿阴魂犹在。岂知早逝女孩的双胞兄弟击杯起身发言,控诉父亲乱伦并谋杀亲生女儿,引爆了席间的争议对立。而在此状况下,这群人不得不采取先发制人的手段……
对于冯疯子一直抱着敬畏的态度,对托马斯的了解则甚少,然后私以为既然已是同学又一起发起了dogma95,那也是“不疯魔不成活”类型了
手持摄影是个人很喜欢的风格,晃动镜头带来的真实感更添加了生活气氛。在庆祝欢愉的表象下,暗涌着资产阶级富豪名门望族的不堪肮脏,一个父亲猥亵了自己的亲生儿女。为什么会有人认为这样做可以这个问题比那些所有挂上未解之谜的问题还让人费解。是愿意相信,这个世界是善的不是么?可是至今这样的事情也依旧在发生。只能,希望你好。
‘I don’t think so. Looking at American society, I’m sure that there are a lot of families living on the surface, not thinking of what’s behind the facade. And that’s the topic of the film. There’s also a huge amount of Child abuse in American. At Cannes, many French journalists had to stop their interviews because they were crying. The reason that people say this is very Danish is explained by the rituals which we follow thoroughly in the film. The themes of the film are universal, although it doesn’t sound very humble to say that. ’
In the interview of Festen (Thomas Vinterberg, 1998), Vinterberg mainly mentioned that many families are different in appearance and inside in society. Many families will deliberately show their happiness and harmonious in front of outsiders. But inside the family, there are many unspeakable sadness and corruption. The director concentrate on Child abuse, the oppression of children by a family. This phenomenon is common, and the event in the film Festen is only a typical event, which is dramatized and revealed. The story takes place in the upper class, a class that pays more attention to hierarchy and dignity. The conservative tendency and patriarchal style of northern Europe can be better displayed in the upper class.
The whole family presents absurd "harmony" in the celebration, which can be regarded as the ultimate hypocrisy. With Christian's hand, director Thomas Vinterberg lift the fig leaf of a decent family and revealed the true face of the authoritative father. In the opinion of the director, the family is the only one institution that people can't choose and escape (Porton, 1999). In such a family environment, the primary task of each child is to maintain the glory and dignity of the family. Helena chooses to swallow the sadness after seeing her sister's suicide note and does not publish it to the public. After Michael seeing her sister's black boyfriend, he tries to drive him away in order to "not shame the family". This is tantamount to Fascism in the family, where individual interests are suppressed under collective interests. Christian is the eldest son favored by his father in the family. His character is modest, gentle and decent, which is in line with the image of a regular successor wanted by the big family at that time. His brother is ignorant, cynical and not valued. But no one thought that it was the eldest son who lit the smoke of "war" at home. Because the dead person is his twin sister. In such family oppression, the interaction between peers will be more important and the relationship between peers will be solid. His sister died under the pressure of the sexual assault of the authoritarian father.
In Denmark, one in 10 children will suffer from domestic violence, which seems to have become a part of society and is difficult to change in a short time (Porton, 1999). His father's behavior finally violated Christian's last line of defense, even if his behavior would disgrace the family and disgrace his father's majesty. He can't stand such a hypocritical family, and blames himself for failing to protect his suicidal sister. Then, the role of mother accounts for a small proportion in the film. In the patriarchal family, she is always around her husband. She speaks appropriately and behaves gracefully. However, after her son tells everybody the truth she had already known for many years, she chooses to cover up the facts and claims that Christian is suffering from paranoia. The false accusation against his son reflects that in this kind of family relationship, the oppression of the younger generation has become conventional. In the end, the father's exit will not completely destroy such a family relationship, Wood (1999) argued that even if patriarchy is overthrown immediately, it will still take several generations to gradually eliminate the imperceptible habit of universal rule.

看的时候就觉得这种手提拍摄很奇怪,查了一下才知道这是世界上第一部Dogme95电影。剧本很强大,但可能因为下载的版本原因,扩大了观影的不适感。但还是对导演新作狩猎充满期待。
本片是第一部遵守道格玛95“纯洁誓言”的电影,也是温特伯格成名作。影片撕破了一个表面高贵光鲜家庭的遮羞布,将不堪的家丑赤裸裸示人。俯仰偷窥多视角的手持拍摄完美契合了这个躁动不安、暗潮汹涌的故事。剪辑粗粝随性,三兄妹浴室寻宝的交叉蒙太奇精彩万分。一部张力满满抓马不断的佳片。(9.0/10)
首部Dogme95,表面规矩得无可挑剔内里奇思堆叠的制限反利用,尤持拍特点被凸显至强烈却超现实的在场感.若真有个手持DV赴宴的存在,那必是带着冷彻洞察力和空无悲哀的幽魂.内幕的极端将戏剧化程度一并带高,但却像是投影,敛回原点就是实态.摊开的真相前,亲近与自私点燃的虚伪依旧毫不自知.剪辑凶猛而又平衡
Dogma#1,第一部用迷你DV拍摄的电影,反叛父权。虽规定抛却形式,但在机位的选择上格外用心。几处监视器视角及鱼眼镜头给人强烈的窥视感,高至天花板低至地面的摄影角度加强了幽灵视点的怪异,让自杀去世的双胞胎女儿Linda始终保持一种疏离的在场。最后烛火熄亮间插帧,浅梦中死去双胞胎的召唤,再填几分鬼魅。不太信服的是过度破碎的剪辑,既然选择使用DV还原现实感,为什么还要反复切角度将时空的连贯性打碎呢?3047
加强升级版《雷雨》。尽管Dogme95实在无聊透顶,但很难不给这部片子打个5星啊。
看上去波澜不惊的家庭宴会,随着一次次敲打酒杯行致酒词,新状况不断发生。舆论被动的长子最终反败为胜,让道貌岸然的禽兽父亲名誉扫地。值得一提的是家宴中的群众被刻画的十分麻木不仁,总是窃窃私语然后若无其事。Dogme95的画质有些折磨人。
剧作太神了,即使不是Dogme95的片子也会很赞啊。没有流于简单的家庭情节剧,寓言性很强。剪辑是这部片子里最亮的部分。
大元旦的看这么压抑的片子,别说片子里参加宴会的人了,观众看着都如坐针毡。29岁的温特伯格好不血气、泼辣,这脾性一点都不比拉斯冯温和。如果《秘密与谎言》只是家庭小抑郁的话,《家宴》就是重度精神分裂了。
Dogme95真的生猛(拉斯冯提尔和温特伯格都是金牛),能把这么classic的剧本拍的倍儿带劲,剪辑太不讲理了简直就是把观众一把推在墙上赤裸裸的耍流氓,摄影也非常爷们儿,金牛男可真是法西斯。四星半,剧本太无懈可击否则我会给五星的。
太赞了!看的英文字幕居然还能那么喜欢!丑恶的家族秘密和各种抓马最精彩了!这估计是最不闷的Dogme电影之一吧!几处神剪辑和摄影亮瞎眼!
天主教的北欧滋生了像伯格曼和托马斯·温特伯格这样的对性和对偶婚姻的平衡与“纯净”有着极端感受的文化,正是因为把性视为罪恶,把肉体视为堕落的象征,所以电影中漂浮着对人类身体的管制,通过家庭制度、现代法律、亲邻关系的全景敞视监禁,人的兽性被规训起来,由这种压强所产生的变态行为也格外令人怵目。一个有趣的对比:帕索里尼就几乎不会在这个意义上处理乱伦的题材,即使是《俄狄浦斯王》和《索多玛120天》,也是完全不同版本的故事。
Dogme1。比较少被提及的一个点是Dogme95是最早对数码影像进行回应的艺术电影运动,而在对数码摄影机手持优势的极端运用之外,Vinterberg也同时乞灵于欧洲电影传统的两大脉络:实景、同期声、无音乐、时空连续性的极端现实主义,以及非连续性的蒙太奇(两者或许存在内在冲突)。借此Dogme将自身与同期好莱坞数码电影(科幻片为主)的奇观路线区分开来。
还没看到过国内真正反思二战与人性的电影,场面不用漫山遍野地逃荒那么大,时间不用连绵几十年,一天一家人足矣,期待能有人破冰。
比起罪有应得的父亲,永远正襟危坐在荣誉那边的母亲才更像一个魔鬼吧
在瑞典、丹麦这几个北欧国家,我甚至猜想凡是有纳粹背景的家族常有父亲性侵自己儿女的行为,他们甚至把这个当成一种为人父的权利,好比【龙纹身的女孩】里的那个纳粹家族。那一个晚上一场热闹的家庭庆典成了一场家变,家丑被导演处理成了一个个连环炸弹,彻底撕掉了资产阶级的遮羞布。★★★★
那种乱中有序的气氛在一台小小的DV下被惊人地制造出来,这本身可能就是奇迹,精巧紧凑的剧本和导演技艺,塑造角色的水平堪称完美,同时温特伯格在堪称混乱的低画质画面中,还靠着晃动剪辑的组合制造了独特视听效果,可以说整部电影为了这个道格玛95证书,已经对传统电影语言进行了全面改造,堪称壮举。
Dogme 95的作品,晃时间长了也不错,不过还会觉得用古典拍法,变革和反讽的力量会更明显。牛逼的还是剧作本身,以一种传统的家庭故事做派入手,不断解构和演变。
【B-】还是接受不了这个导演的风格。但是剪辑真是厉害呀。这个剧情应该去豆瓣“直播我身边的皇家极品”小组
亲密而又疏离的流变(上帝)视角在私人以及公共空间里缓慢攀爬或肆意飞行。偌大的聚会上不是人与人的相敬如宾而是彼此之间的相敬如冰,温特伯格的《家宴》正如拉斯的《狗镇》一样生猛而直接。这个两个天才型的反叛者都在剧本上显露出他们自然而外溢的才华,但二人在叙事的语言和形式上却也沾染了过多“失败者”的戾气。“众声喧哗 总是艺术又失败了 艺术的胜利都是静悄悄的”,木心明审。于是接着说“惊世骇俗 就是媚俗”。
又看,再次感慨牛剧作神剪辑。很多人认为不晃更好,伯格曼也是这么说的。但我觉得晃得很好,有必要晃(除了鬼魂视点这个动机,你不能否认摄影机架好,演员就很容易端起来油起来,而这里演员的松紧适度,对不可预知的摄影机有一些不知所措的状态非常有感染力)就是画质太渣
