衰姐们

One day, thinking that it will make your wife and friends smile, you shave off the moustache that you have had for the last ten years. No one notices or, even worse, everyone pretends not to notice and your smile soon fades. Before being wiped off your face. You insist but people tell you that you've never had a moustache. Are you going mad? Are people trying to make you think you are? Or has something in the world's order gone awry at your expense? Adapting his own 1986 novel, Emmanuel Carrère – whose books Class Trip and The Adversary became Cannes Competition titles by Claude Miller and Nicole Garcia, respectively – provides a feast of sustained tension as the man's wife and his closest friends deny that he ever had a moustache. Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained. The film won the Label Europa Cinemas Prize at Directors' Fortnight in Cannes. 一天，你滿心以為給妻子和朋友開個玩笑，把蓄了十年的鬍子刮掉。但可惜完全被人忽視了，或更可悲的是每個人都假裝看不到，很快，你得意的笑容不見了，笑臉再也掛不住。你堅持，但所有人都跟你說你從未蓄過鬍子。莫非你神經錯亂？是否所有人都想令你以為自己瘋掉了？又或者，是因為你的緣故而搞亂了世界的某種秩序？ 本片是導演艾曼雷．卡雷爾改編自他自己一九八六年出版的小說。他的另外兩本小說《 Class Trip 》及《 The Adversary 》曾分別被葛羅特．米勒及妮歌．加西亞兩位導演改編成電影並先後成為康城影展的參選影片。在本片中，因為男人的妻子和老友否認他曾經蓄鬍子而令整個故事維持在緊張的氣氛中。 喜歡結局完整的觀眾可能會感到不高興，但欣賞引人入勝的故事和精湛演技的觀眾則會看得津津有味。本片在康城影展的導演雙週中奪得歐洲電影標籤大獎。 Source: The 34th French Cinepanorama, Hong Kong。熊伟和徐萌萌是一对立志丁克的小夫妻，婚后七年的生活自由自在。但是五年前由于早就定居美国的熊父病危，唯一的遗憾是没抱上孙子。所以熊伟当时把朋友大头儿子的照片发给父亲，谎称是自己的儿子，以了老父夙愿。不料熊父看到孙子照片后，一高兴病就好了。所以五年来，熊伟只好隔三差五地寄去朋友儿子的照片。谁知，老两口忽然要回国看孙子，熊伟和徐萌萌不知如何应对，这时好友包东东提供了一条关于电脑娃娃的信息。包东东陪熊伟找到了神秘的怪博士，见到了他制造的电脑娃娃，果然和人类的孩子一模一样，就是很多神奇的功能，让熊伟瞠目结舌。 熊伟把电脑娃娃领回了家，按照朋友儿子的名字，起名壮壮。壮壮启动家长服务程序，转眼间把房间打扫得干干净净，这让熊伟感到非常新奇。壮壮突然没电了，不知壮壮是电脑娃娃的萌萌吓得惊慌失措。包东东借机指导熊伟和萌萌说壮壮是最高智能型，是需要充电也需要情感呵护的，这次事故是熊伟和萌萌作为父母没爱心，不称职。熊伟和萌萌表示，要学会像对待亲生儿子一样对待壮壮，免得爷爷来后穿帮……。
