Adapted from the 1928 autobiographical novel by Jean Rhys, Quartet is the story of a love quadrangle between a complicated young West Indian woman named Marya (played by Isabelle Adjani), her husband Stefan (Anthony Higgins), a manipulative English art patron named Heidler (Alan Bates), and his painter wife Lois (Maggie Smith). The film is set in the Golden Age of Paris, Hemingway's "moveable feast" of cafe culture and extravagant nightlife, glitter and literati: yet underneath is the outline of something sinister beneath the polished brasses and brasseries. When Marya's husband is put in a Paris prison on charges of selling stolen art works, she is left indigent and is taken in by Heidler and his wife: the predatory Englishman (whose character Rhys bases on the novelist Ford Madox Ford) is quick to take advantage of the new living arrangement, and Marya finds herself in a stranglehold between husband and wife. Lovers alternately gravitate toward and are repelled by each other, now professing their love, now confessing their brutal indifference -- all the while keeping up appearances. The film explores the vast territory between the "nice" and the "good," between outward refinement and inner darkness: after one violent episode, Lois asks Marya not to speak of it to the Paris crowd. "Is that all you're worried about?" demands an outraged Marya. "Yes," Lois replies with icy candor, "as a matter of fact." Adjani won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her performances in Quartet: her Marya is a volatile compound of French schoolgirl and scorned mistress, veering between tremulous joy and hysterical outburst. Smith shines in one of her most memorable roles: she imbues Lois with a Katherine-of-Aragon impotent rage, as humiliated as she is powerless in the face of her husband's choices. Her interactions with Bates are scenes from a marriage that has moved from disillusionment to pale acceptance. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and James Ivory's screenplay uses Rhys's novel as a foundation from which it constructs a world that is both true to the novel and distinctive in its own right, painting a society that has lost its inhibitions and inadvertently lost its soul. We are taken to mirrored cafes, then move through the looking glass: Marya, in one scene, is offered a job as a model and then finds herself in a sadomasochistic pornographer's studio. The film, as photographed by Pierre Lhomme, creates thoroughly cinematic moments that Rhy's novel could not have attempted: in one of the Ivory's most memorable scenes, a black American chanteuse (extraordinarily played by Armelia McQueen) entertains Parisian patrons with a big and brassy jazz song, neither subtle nor elegant. Ivory keeps the camera on the singer's act: there is something in her unguarded smile that makes the danger beneath Montparnasse manners seem more acute.在本片中,我们有四位主要演员:阿兰·贝茨、玛吉·史密斯、伊莎贝尔·阿佳妮和安东尼·希金斯。他们分别饰演的角色,共同构成了这个复杂而细腻的情感世界。阿兰·贝茨饰演的角色,他的台词是:“爱情就像是在夜晚的森林里迷路,你不知道自己会在哪里找到出口。”这句台词展现了角色对于爱情的迷茫与探索。玛吉·史密斯扮演的角色,则这样说道:“有时候,我们需要的只是一双倾听的手。”这句话反映了她所饰演角色对理解与共鸣的渴望。而伊莎贝尔·阿佳妮的角色则这样表达:“在爱情中,我们都是探险者,寻找着未知的宝藏。”她的台词揭示了角色对爱情中未知性和冒险性的向往。安东尼·希金斯的角色,则以这样一句台词结束了自己的内心独白:“爱,就是那份在你最脆弱时给予你的力量。”这句话展示了角色对于爱的理解和感悟。这四位演员通过各自的角色和台词,共同构建了一个关于爱情与自我发现的深刻故事,使观众在观影过程中体验到了情感的深度与复杂性。详情
