△ 影片介紹 FILM SYNOPSIS

此片是印度重要的左翼導演敏納·森的第二部長片,也是印度解殖後第一部被禁演的電影。影片描繪 1930 年代英殖民統治下的加爾各答,知識份子的反殖情緒高漲,地下反殖組織活動活躍,期盼能擺脫英國人的高壓統治。在此時代背景下,導演刻畫出因貧困而被迫離鄉背井的山東絲綢小販王魯,勾勒出英屬印度時代加爾各答華人移工的樣貌、印度人與華人間超越階級的情誼、以及當時中國街的珍貴影像。影片因見證印度獨立運動,一度被獨立後的第一任總理尼赫魯用作政治宣傳片。

 

Set during the last days of the British Raj in Calcutta (known today as Kolkata), an immigrant Chinese worker, Wang Lu, strikes up a friendship with a female character, Basanti. The film offers a rare glimpse of the state of affairs for Chinese immigrants in India in the turbulent 1930s. This second film by director Mrinal Sen was considered his first successful work, and was initially banned by the Indian government for two months, because of the sensitivity over India's brief border war with China.

敏納·森 Mrinal Sen

 

1923 年出生於孟加拉邦,在加爾各答長大,1950年代印度現代藝術電影 (Parallel Cinema) 三大導演之一,與電影大師薩亞吉雷 (Satyajit Ray) 和列域格達 (Ritwik Ghatak) 齊名,作品以藝術性的鏡頭呈現印度當代社會的流離,曾在國際獲獎無數。1959年的作品《藍色天空下》拼貼出印度華人在時代洪流中消聲的歷史,串連著當時民主浪潮下,印度知識份子對法西斯主義的抵抗。

 

Born in 1923, Mrinal Sen is a Bengali filmmaker who lives in Kolkata. In contrast to the dominance of Hindi cinema, Sen's films presented an alternative that emphasized realism and socially relevant content, embodied in a genre that came to be known as "parallel cinema." Sen's films have received awards from virtually all the major film festivals, including Cannes, Berlin, and Venice.
