外媒评《山河故人》：贾樟柯再次惊艳了我们

When Jia Zhang-ke begins his latest state-of-China epic with a cannon-blast of Pet Shop Boys'"Go West", one sits up and takes notice.

贾樟柯以宠物店男孩（英国电子流行组合）一曲《西行》，开始了他最新一部中国史诗，炮轰枪击般的曲风引得人正襟危坐、开始留心注意。

Jia shows us a China whose citizens just want to Go West – if not geographically then cognitively. Itbecomes the movie’s marching song, keeping time with its characters’ quest for self-determination and social advancement.

贾樟柯展现了这样一个中国：其公民就是想去西方，即便不是地理意义上的西方，也是认知上的西方。这支曲子成了电影的进行曲，顺应电影角色自我决定与社会进步的需求。

For the most part, it centres on a woman called Shen Tao, who lives in the mining town of Fenyang. She’s a dance teacher in her early 20s, and is leading an aerobics class in a slightly tatty studio, smiling and bouncing in the moment, with little inkling where the next quarter-century will lead.

多数时候，电影围绕一个叫沈涛的女性展开。沈涛住在矿镇汾阳，20多岁的时候是个舞蹈教师，在一个稍显破旧的练功房带健身操，笑着、跳着，浑然不知接下来的二十五年会带她去何方。

Zhao gives a performance of extraordinary detail and depth of feeling in all three time periods: she’s ravishing and butterfly-bright as a young woman, and tight with anxieties as a worried mother a decade and a half later, and returns for the bittersweet and beautiful finale after spending a regrettably large part of the film’s third section offscreen.

赵涛（沈涛的扮演者）对三个时间段的细节和情感的刻画都入木三分。年轻时美丽迷人，有如蝴蝶般耀眼，十五年后身为焦虑的母亲又忧心忡忡，还有镜头之外令人扼腕的漫长的第三个阶段，最后一幕喜乐参半、回归美好。

In 1999, she’s being courted by two men: Liangzi (Liang Jin Dong), an honest, working-class chap whose ambitions don’t run much further than providing for himself and whomever he may end up marrying, and Zhang (Zhang Yi), a petit-bourgeois, slick-haired socialite who’s just invested in a local coal mine and has big plans for the future.

1999年，沈涛被两个男子追求，一个是老实的工人阶级青年梁子（梁景东饰演），人生志向不过是自给自足、养得起老婆；另一个是张晋生（张译饰演），是个油头粉面的小资产阶级，投资了当地煤矿，对未来有颇有一番打算的小开。

The choice facing Tao is the same one facing the country at large: settle or trade up? Of course she plumps for the latter, although her flirtations with each makes this the film’s most satisfying section.

沈涛面临的选择也是国家所面临的：安心求稳定还是逆流而上？她当然选择后者，尽管她和两人的谈情调笑是整部电影最令观众满足的片段。

It may only be set a decade and a half ago, but the intense stylishness of Jia’s images makes it glamorously remote, reinforcing the idea that our steps through the past can’t be retraced.

电影不过设置在十五年前，但贾樟柯电影画面强烈的风格营造出绚丽迷人的过往感觉；我们回顾过往的步伐是无法重溯的，影片强化了这一观点。

Dollar embarks on a vaguely oedipal affair with his teacher in a subconscious quest to recreate his failed relationship with his mother, and the film’s opening song now rings with sadness.

道乐（沈涛与张晋生之子）与他的老师开始了一场爱恋，隐约含有有几分恋母色彩。道乐下意识里想要重修与母亲破碎的关系，而影片的开场序曲而今听来悲伤。

Mountains May Depart offers a more ambitious and messier treatment of those themes – but its generation-spanning story has serious power, and, in its masterful opening chapter and final sequence, brushes against greatness.

《山河故人》处理其主题大胆而匆忙，但跨代的故事叙述强大有力，开篇和最后的结局近乎卓越。
