International movie festivals usually draw crowds of film buffs, hoping to see the latest cinematic marvels to hit the big screen.

国际电影节总能吸引不少电影发烧友,他们希望见证新晋影史传奇在大银幕上的风光。

This year’s Beijing International Film Festival, which runs from April 16 to 23, offers a long lineup of critically acclaimed films, many of which dissect the trials of youth. These films forgo the themes typically associated with young people – treacly romance, everlasting friendship–in favor of more complex meditations on life. Theirprotagonists, young as they are, confront invisible forces far greater than themselves,pressures and anxieties that stretch back for generations.

今年的北京国际电影节于4月16日至23日举办,届时将展映大批口碑极佳的电影,其中不乏剖析、审视青年人的佳作。这些电影通过融合常与年轻人联系在一起的两大主题——甜蜜的爱情和永恒的友谊,突出了对生活的多重反思。电影中年轻的主人公们要面对自己难以克服的无形力量,他们面临着几代人共有的压力和焦虑。

The Intern, for instance, depicts a young entrepreneur striving to balance her career andfamily. Another anglophone film, Brooklyn, transports viewers from a small Irish town to NewYork City, where its heroine learns to thrive in a growing Irish immigrant community. A thirdEnglish-language film, Straight Outta Compton, dramatizes the real-life ascent of a group ofyoung rappers who take music as a platform to denounce racial injustice.

以电影《实习生》为例,它讲述了一个年轻企业家试图平衡事业和家庭的故事。另外一部英语电影《布鲁克林》则把观众从一个爱尔兰小镇带到了纽约,电影的女主人公必须学习如何在快速壮大的爱尔兰移民团体中成长。第三部英文电影《冲出康普顿》则改编自一群年轻说唱歌手真实的励志故事,他们以音乐为平台,谴责种族歧视。

There are also stories that reinterpret the meaning of family and emphasize the weight increasingly placed on young shoulders. Our Little Sister explores what happens when three young women adopt their stepsister, while the immigration drama Dheepan presents a family bound not by blood, but by necessity.

还有影片重新诠释了家庭的意义,聚焦年轻人肩上越来越沉重的责任。《海街日记》探讨了三姐妹接纳同父异母的妹妹之后会发生什么,而移民电影《流浪的迪潘》则展现了一个不以血缘而以需求为纽带的家庭。

Each of these films showcases what it means to be young–and all the uncertainties that entails.They’re sure to leave you inspired, as you walk out of the cinema.

每部电影都向我们展示了年轻意味着什么,以及它包含的所有不确定性。当你走出电影院,它们一定会让你有所感悟。

Brooklyn

《布鲁克林》
布鲁克林

Directed by John Crowley Ireland/UK

导演:约翰•克劳利 爱尔兰/英国

Brooklyn is a film about a young Irish girl who must choose between two lovers and twocountries at the same time.

电影《布鲁克林》讲述了一个年轻爱尔兰女孩必须同时在两个爱人和两个国家之间做出选择的故事。

Adapted from Irish novelist Colm Toibin’s best selling novel, Brooklyn is set in both Ireland andUS, the two countries that the protagonist Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) calls home. In her nativeIreland, Eilis had few prospects, an underpaid job and a grim future in a small town. When she immigrates to the US, she feels homesick but nevertheless finds her niche. She starts toattend night school in accounting, has a promising career and finds love with a handsome Italian-American named Tony (Emory Cohen).

电影改编自爱尔兰作家科尔姆•托宾的畅销小说,《布鲁克林》的背景设定在爱尔兰和美国,这两个国家都是主人公艾莉丝(西尔莎•罗南饰)口中的家乡。在出生地爱尔兰,艾莉丝在一个小镇里过着毫无希望的生活,干着收入微薄的工作,面临着残酷的未来。当移民到美国后,她开始思念故乡,尽管如此,她还是找到了自己的位置。她开始上夜校学习会计,找到了一份前途大好的工作,还和意大利帅哥托尼(艾莫里•科恩饰)坠入爱河。

Complications arise when Eilis returns to Ireland for her sister’s funeral. During her brief stay,she becomes more in demand than she’d ever imagined. She gets a job as an accountant andattracts the attention of a desirable local bachelor, Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson).

当艾莉丝返回爱尔兰参加姐姐的葬礼时,新的状况出现了。在爱尔兰的短暂停留,她发现自己变得比想象中更受欢迎。她找到了一份会计的工作,还受到了当地优质单身汉吉姆•法雷尔(多姆纳尔•格里森饰)的青睐。

Like many young people, Eilis stands at a crossroad. The decisions she makes will ultimatelydetermine whom she spends the rest of her life with, where she lives and what career shepursues. Eilis’ struggles in the US have transformed her from a fearful girl into a confident,self-reliant woman, and it is her newfound insight into her own character that allows her tomake the fateful choice.

和许多年轻人一样,艾莉丝站在了人生的十字路口。她的选择将决定她将和谁共度一生,在哪里生活,追求怎样的事业。在美国奋斗的经历让这个曾经恐惧不安的女孩成为了自信、独立的女人,也正是她新发现的自己个性中的洞察力,让她能够做出命运的选择。

For over a century, American cinema has explored the immigrant experience, and an array of movies have depicted the struggles of migrants coming to the US. What makes Brooklyn freshis its small town story and empowered female protagonist who feels torn between differentworlds. “In Ireland, Eilis is a daughter with a history; in America she is a woman with a future;in both she is filled with displaced longing,” Guardian movie critic Mark Kermode wrote.

一个多世纪以来,美国电影一直在探究移民的经历,不少影片描绘了初来美国的移民的艰难奋斗。而让《布鲁克林》与众不同的则是它讲述的小镇故事和它赋予女主人公选择两个不同世界的权利,这个抉择让她心痛。英国《卫报》电影评论员马克•柯默德写道:“在爱尔兰,艾莉丝是个有故事的女儿;而在美国她是一个有未来的女性;而无论哪个选择都让她有背井离乡的感觉。”

The Intern

《实习生》

Directed by Nancy Meyers, US

导演:南希•迈耶斯,美国

In the movie The Devil Wears Prada (《 穿普拉达的女王》, 2006), Anne Hathaway played a lowly intern,slaving away for a senior fashion diva. But in hernew film, The Intern, the roles have been reversed.Hathaway stars as a young fashion entrepreneur,Jules Ostin, who is in charge of intern twice her age, played by Robert De Niro.

在电影《穿普拉达的女王》(2006年)中,安妮•海瑟薇扮演了一名为资深时尚天后拼命工作的底层实习生。而在她的新片《实习生》中,角色完全逆转了。海瑟薇饰演的朱尔斯•奥斯汀是时尚界的年轻企业家 ,管理一位年纪比她大一两倍的实习生(罗伯特•德尼罗饰)。

His character, Ben Whittaker, used to be an executive in the phone book industry. Though heis 70 years old, he refuses to end his life in a retirement home. He decides to volunteer as anintern instead.

实习生本•惠特克曾在电话簿行业担任高层。虽然已经年过七旬,却不愿在养老院中度过余生。于是他决定自愿当起了实习生。

Jules, meanwhile, is balancing the pressure of managing a startup with the demands of abudding family. She has a stay-at-home husband and a young daughter that she starts toneglect as her business grows. Her days are packed with meetings, e-mails and phone calls.Ultimately, Ben uses his wisdom as a former executive to help Jules discover a better work-lifebalance.

与此同时,家有全职丈夫和年幼女儿的朱尔斯,正在努力平衡刚起步的事业带来的压力和走上正轨的家庭之间的需求。因为事业处于上升期,她开始无暇顾及父女两人。每天的生活都被会议、邮件和电话占满。最后,本用自己当总经理时积累的智慧帮助朱尔斯更好地达成了工作和生活之间的平衡。

The Intern has earned superb reviews for its plot and storytelling. The Atlantic culture editor David Sims called it director Nancy Meyers’ “best film in more than a decade”. The movie isinfused with lighthearted comedy and a laid-back style.

故事情节和叙事方式为《实习生》赢得了极高的赞誉。美国《大西洋月刊》文化版编辑大卫•西姆斯称它为导演南希•迈耶斯“近十年来最棒的电影”。这部电影是部让人愉快的喜剧,充满了轻松的氛围。

“The Intern invites us to settle in from the start and practically throws a fleece blanket overour legs and asks us if we’d like some popcorn,” wrote Richard Roeper, a critic from the ChicagoSun Times. “It’s a lovely comfort movie, nestled softly in a cynicism-free zone.”

美国《芝加哥太阳报》影评员理查德•罗帕写道:“从电影一开始,《实习生》就邀请我们坐下,在我们腿上盖上块羊毛毯,问我们想不想来点爆米花。这是一部美好舒适的电影,温暖的叙事,没有丝毫的愤世嫉俗。”

Dheepan

《流浪的迪潘》
流浪的迪潘

Directed by Jacques Audiard, France

导演:雅克•欧迪亚,法国

“An astonishing film...radical and bold.” That is how The Independent describes Dheepan.Ever since its release in 2015, the movie has earned French director Jacques Audiard a waveof international accolades, which includes the top prize at Cannes, the Palme d’Or.

“一部让人目瞪口呆的电影……激进且直白,”英国《独立报》这样形容电影《流浪的潘迪》。从2015年上映以来,这部电影让法国导演雅克•欧迪亚享誉国际,其中包括戛纳电影节顶级奖项——金棕榈奖。

The story of Dheepan is indeed unconventional. It revolves around a Sri Lankan young woman, Yalini (Kalieaswari Srinivasan), who is looking for an orphaned child and a husband toflee with from her war-torn homeland.

《流浪的潘迪》的确不走寻常路。电影的主人公是一名叫雅丽妮(卡利斯瓦力•斯里尼瓦桑饰)的斯里兰卡女孩,她在寻找一名孤儿和一位丈夫和她一起逃离战乱纷飞的祖国。

Yalini wants a new life in Europe, but the only shortcut she can think of is to establish a make shift family to gain political asylum. When an opportunity arises, Yalini allies with aTamil soldier, Dheepan (Jesuthasan Antonythasan), and a young girl, Illayaal (ClaudineVinasithamby). Together they embark on new lives as refugees.

雅丽妮想在欧洲开始新的生活,但是她能想到的唯一捷径就是组建一个临时家庭,然后取得政治庇护。机会出现了,雅丽妮和泰米尔士兵潘迪(杰苏萨桑•安东尼萨桑饰)还有小女孩伊莱娅(克劳汀•维纳斯桑比饰)结盟。他们一起以难民身份开始了新生活。

The idea of “family” is usually infused with love, but what this unusual young family representsin the movie is fake love and everyday struggles.

一般而言,“家庭” 的概念包含着爱,但电影里这个非同寻常的年轻家庭展现出的是虚假的爱和日复一日的挣扎。

There are scenes where Yalini and Dheepan dance awkwardly, their body language clearlyshowing that they have no feelings for each other. There are also heartbreaking moments whenIllayaal longs for the unconditional love that neither of her “parents” know how to provide. “Thereal subject is exploring the idea of a fake family,” Audiard told The Wall Street Journal.

电影中有雅丽妮和桑迪跳舞的笨拙镜头,他们的肢体语言暗示两人之间毫无感情。当伊莱娅渴望无条件的爱,而她的“父母”却根本不知道如何给予时,简直让人悲伤心痛。导演欧迪亚告诉《华尔街日报》:“电影真正的主题是探讨虚假家庭的概念。”

Dheepan marks the first time that Audiard explicitly tackles the subject of immigration. The process this young family goes through sheds light on the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe.They face immigration hearings, smugglers and poverty, just like many migrants today. “Dheepan is incredibly timely, touching on many of the cultural and political tensions currently in the air,” Slate’s Aisha Harris wrote.

《流浪的潘迪》是欧迪亚第一次明确地触及移民题材。这个年轻家庭的经历反映了欧洲正在经历的移民危机。电影主人公面临的移民听证会、走私贩和贫穷正是现在许多移民所经历的。美国知名网络杂志slate特约撰稿人艾莎•哈里斯写道:“《流浪的潘迪》的出现恰逢其时,它触及了许多当前世界正面临的文化和政治敏感话题。”
