實在缺少豐富度,好像一篇立意深刻的小學生作文,你清楚知道每個角色和鏡頭的意義就變得毫無意義和觸動。處處流露著刻意……只能說還青澀吧導演
是畫面配樂好過情節本身許多的一套戲。對稱式的構圖,靜態的環境中活躍著動態的人物,很油畫了。如果心中未清信仰和執念,想要撒手選擇絕對自由和跟隨心意,是比登天還難啊。
在一个穆斯林社会讲一个天主教故事,演员也全由穆斯林饰演,不只是禁忌,而且是少数的禁忌。但没想到导演将这个真实事件处理成了现在这样由形式感主导的电影,对称构图的呆板闭塞贯穿全片,修女名作Maryam,神父又叫Joseph,再加上那场两人之间的告解,很难区分究竟是人物还是符号,也难进入导演所谓要探索人物内在的表意之内。大概观众也对影片不太买账,映后只是一再追问:那真实的他们后来怎么样了?可见影片的去猎奇处理更加难得。
