| Storyline:
Onoff
is a famous writer who hasn't published any new books for
quite some time and has become a recluse. When he is picked
up by the police one stormy night, without any identification,
out of breath and running madly, without clear memory of recent
events, the Inspector is suspicious. Through interrogatory
dialectic, the head of this lonely, isolated, broken-down
police station tries to establish what has happened, by delving
into the mind of his writer-hero, and clearing up a mysterious
killing. . (Here) |

overview and comment

| 001-Depardieu's
character is Onoff (Gérard Depardieu), a famous writer who is now
a recluse. The Inspector (Roman Polanski) is suspicious when Onoff
is brought into the station one night, disoriented and suffering
a kind of amnesia. As the head of an isolated, rural police station
the Inspector tries to establish events through careful interrogation
and deduction. By painstaking inquiry, he clears up a mysterious
killing and brings the writer a new and strange realisation..(here) |

| 002-The
sweet sentimental gauze of director Giuseppe_Tornatore's international
hit Cinema_Paradiso (1988) is nowhere to be found in this dark,
Kafkaesque crime thriller that takes place, stage play-style, mostly
in the confines of one room. Gerard_Depardieu stars as Onoff, a
famed author who has become a recluse in recent years, publishing
nothing. Late one night he is picked up by police officers, who
find him running across the French countryside in the rain, breathless
and apparently suffering from short-term memory loss. A murder has
been committed in the nearby woods, and suspecting Onoff's involvement,
the authorities detain him at a leaky, dark command post to await
the arrival of an inspector (Roman_Polanski), ironically a fan of
Onoff's work, who will interrogate his subject and try to arrive
at the truth. Una Pura Formalita (1994) was produced simultaneously
with Polanski's Death and the Maiden (1994), another film with a
stage-bound quality featuring a long, stormy night's interrogation
in a single room..(here) |

003-A
Pure Formality (1994)
May 26, 1995
FILM REVIEW; Murder and Existentialism
By CARYN JAMES
Published: May 26, 1995
If Agatha Christie and Jean-Paul Sartre had ever collaborated
on a play (and why in the world would they?), the result might
have been as misguided and mind-bogglingly dreadful as "A
Pure Formality," which combines a creaky murder mystery with
a pretentious existential theme. Giuseppe Tornatore, the director
of the fine "Cinema Paradiso" and the laborious "Everybody's
Fine," has been blessed with two extraordinary actors, Gerard
Depardieu and Roman Polanski. They are always worth watching,
and they are the only reason to see this film.
At the start, a gun points directly at the camera and goes off.
Soon Mr. Depardieu is running through the dark woods in the rain.
He is picked up by the police and taken to their creepy, isolated
station, where he is interrogated all night by Mr. Polanski as
a preternaturally knowledgeable inspector.
The bulky,
disheveled Mr. Depardieu claims to be a famous writer. "My
name is Onoff," he says. "And mine is Leonardo da Vinci,"
answers the impeccable Mr. Polanski, in a conservative suit and
slicked-back hair. (That is the film's best exchange.) The inspector
seems to know Onoff's novels better than Onoff himself. What no
one knows, especially the movie audience, is the identity of the
murder victim.
At first,
given all the talent involved, it is tempting to give the movie
a break. Maybe Mr. Tornatore is playing off older genres, sending
up stage-bound plays and B movies? It is, after all, a dark and
stormy night, and when Onoff is first brought in he even says
to one of the policemen: "It's like a Hollywoood B movie.
When do you read me my rights?"
But as "A
Pure Formality" goes on, the hope that Mr. Tornatore must
be joking vanishes. The interrogation forces Onoff to examine
his life and his identity. Maybe he is guilty; maybe he is crazy;
maybe he is not really Onoff; maybe we need a few more clues to
stay interested. The film means to be a clever cat-and-mouse game.
Instead, it resembles a mouse rattling through a maze, frustrated
and without direction. Because we do not share either man's thoughts
until very near the end, the interminable questioning is made
watchable only by Mr. Polanski's calm intensity and Mr. Depardieu's
barely concealed hysteria.
The film is
set almost entirely in the police station, and Mr. Tornatore's
desperate camera shots become the biggest unintentional joke of
all. When Onoff flushes a piece of bloody clothing down a toilet,
the camera looks up from within the toilet. When a policeman types
a report, the camera is underneath the typewriter keys. Buckets
are set on the floor to catch rain from the leaky roof, and there
are so many close-ups of rain plunking in a pail that it becomes
a cinematic form of water torture.
And the worst
is still to come. "A Pure Formality" solves its mystery
with an annoying trick ending that is likely to make viewers feel
cheated. Onoff does have one good question. Looking around the
station he wonders, "How can a place as absurd as this exist?"
"A Pure
Formality" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It
includes a discreet flashback to a murder and some other mild
violence. A PURE FORMALITY

004-Una
Pura Formalita (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1993)
I have now
seen two of Giuseppe Tornatore's films (the other being the brilliant
The Legend of 1900), and have decided that I will be hunting the
man's work down wherever I can find it. A Pure Formality doesn't
have the same mastery of pace that 1900 does, but the good points
of the film overwhelm the bad ones to the extent that the viewer
is likely not to care if the first half of the movie goes a tad
slow.
The film centers
around an author named Onoff (Gerard Deaprdieu), who is found
wandering in the rain, senseless, in the vicinity of a rural murder.
He is taken to the strangest police station this side of Pirandello.
The head of the station is out for the moment, and Onoff is able
to size up the rest of the oddballs working there before the top
dog, played by Roman Polanski, gets back. Then the fun really
begins; Onoff has lost pieces of his memory, and while the Inspector
tries to figure out if Onoff committed murder, Onoff is busy trying
to figure out if he did, too. As a catch, to throw everything
off just a tad more: the Inspector is also Onoff's biggest fan,
and can quote large passages of his books from memory, something
of which Onoff himself is incapable, leading to doubts on the
part of everyone involved whether Onoff is really who he thinks
he is.
Part mystery,
part farce, part existential manifesto, A Pure Formality could
easily be relegated to that wasteland of films in this genre summed
up by a recent commercial featuring a pardocial art-house classic
called Look At My Potato. And for the first forty-five or so minutes
of the movie, it teeters on the brink of that sort of senselessness.
The staff are alternately obsequious and violent, as is the Inspector,
while Onoff is by turns helpful, obstructive, and downright abusive.
No one seems to have any motivation or consistency. You'll have
to trust me when I say it all works out in the end. And it does,
to an amazing degree. The last twenty minutes had me sitting,
agape, in utter amazement. Suddenly the whole thing made perfect
sense...
Aside from
the absolute beauty of the plot's construction, a good deal of
praise must be given to Tornatore's use of light, or in this case,
the lack of it. The station, never well-lit, plunges into a power
outage halfway through the film, and most of the rest (it concludes
just after dawn the next morning) is lit by candlelight, leading
to an even more claustrophobic feeling. Perfectly appropriate
for the subject matter, as the police and Onoff both narrow their
searches for the various things they hope to find.
A stunning
achievement, and one that most mystery fans will find well worth
the effort. (here)

| 005-'A
Pure Formality' was, to my surprise, one of the very best films
I've seen in a long time. I'd seen snippets of the Italian version
on Italian TV and the English-language one on US cable, neither
encouraging me to delve further, but in its original French, with
both Polanski and Depardieu voicing themselves, it manages to turn
a potentially hoary old psychodrama into something much more life
affirming.
Depardieu
is the confused great writer arrested in the middle of a rainstorm
and taken to a dark, leaking Italian police station where he is
interrogated by Roman Polanski's inspector, who also happens to
be an ardent fan, over the identity of a murder victim. Naturally,
layers of self-deception are gradually pulled away on this long
dark night of the soul before it reaches a not entirely unexpected
but still remarkably satisfying conclusion. Despite the claustrophobic
setting, Giuseppe Tornatore's excellent composition keeps it vividly
cinematic, with several memorable moments (the most impressive
a beautiful sequence following a song as it floats through the
room). The flashbacks are sometimes awkward and I could definitely
have done without Depardieu's nudity, but this is still one of
the most remarkable films I've seen in recent years. Two-thirds
through the movie a power cut hit for two-and-a-half hours, and
it was excruciating waiting to get the chance to finish the film.
Very highly recommended indeed.(here)

003-About
"Existentialism"
and its film
|
| |
| 001-Existentialism
is a term applied to the work of a number of philosophers since
the 19th century who, despite large differences in their positions,
generally focused on the condition of human existence, and an
individual's emotions, actions, responsibilities, and thoughts,
or the meaning or purpose of life. Existential philosophers
often focused more on what they believed was subjective, such
as beliefs and religion, or human states, feelings, and emotions,
such as freedom, pain, guilt, and regret, as opposed to analyzing
objective knowledge, language, or science.
The early
19th century philosopher S?ren Kierkegaard is regarded as
the father of existentialism. He maintained that the individual
is solely responsible for giving her or his own life meaning
and for living that life passionately and sincerely, in spite
of many existential obstacles and distractions including despair,
angst, absurdity, alienation, and boredom.
Subsequent
existentialist philosophers retain the emphasis on the individual,
but differ, in varying degrees, on how one achieves and what
constitutes a fulfilling life, what obstacles must be overcome,
and what external and internal factors are involved, including
the potential consequences of the existence or non-existence
of God. Many existentialists have also regarded traditional
systematic or academic philosophy, in both style and content,
as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.
Existentialism became fashionable in the post-World War years
as a way to reassert the importance of human individuality
and freedom.
|
|
|
Existentialism
is sometimes referred to as a continental philosophy, referring
to the continental part of Europe, as opposed to that practiced
in Britain at that time, which was called analytic philosophy,
and mostly dealt with analyzing language.(Here)
|
| 002-Existentialism
is a primarily 20th century school of thought.
Existentialists define life as meaningless outside of
our own personal choices. Most existentialists are athesists,
and believe that there is no after-life. They define reality
as absurd.
Existentialism
is just as popular now as it was during its prime in
the mid-twentieth century. Its influence is highly visible
in art, literature, music, and especially in film.
Many
well known films have existentialist themes like individuality,
alienation, and the power of nothingness.
"The
thing which was waiting was on alert, it pounced on
me, it flows through me. I'm filled with it. It's nothing:
I am the Thing. Existence, liberated, detached, floods
over me. I exist." -Jean-Paul Sartre (Here)

003-Existentialism,
French New Wave Cinema, and Surrealist Films
While we are on the subject of existentialism, I thought
I would introduce a topic I enjoy greatly: the cinematic
medium. Existentialist films are very confusing, intriguing,
inventive, and stimulating. Film is the best way to relate
existentialism to your own life. The most existentialist
films not only explore the philosophy but employ the use
of the philosophy in the making of the film itself.
Take
any French New Wave film. All of them (some more than
others) were heavily influenced by existentialism. By
minimalizing plot and reason, and getting rid of focus
entirely, these films were truly existentialist. The
complete iconoclasm utilized in the making of the film
challenged the rules of film, just as an existentialist
challenges the systems of his world. See any Truffaut
or Godard film. It made existentialism make more sense
to me. I would recommend Pierrot Le Fou (at the extreme)
or Bande à Part.
Surrealism, on the other hand, is not very directly
linked with existentialism. Surrealism is more of an
art movement, but I believe it implies existentialist
modes of thought in its manifesto. Surrealist film embraces
a dream-state reality. This results in negligible or
incoherent plots, much like French New Wave films. While
both are confusing, they can be better appreciated if
one realises the existentialist roots. In having no
plot, these films only contain random, sometimes unrelated
occurrences. The existentialist likewise believes the
world contains no plot, but is itself only a series
of random, unrelated occurrences. Check out the very
short film Un Chien Andalou by Luis Bu?uel and Salvador
Dalí , probably a more famous Surrealist film. It is
totally incoherent, but somehow it draws you in... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJCdvh53lpY

002-Roman
Raymond Polański
|
| Roman
Polański (born 18 August 1933) is a Polish-French film director,
producer, writer and actor. Having made films in Poland, Britain,
America and France he is considered one of the few "truly
international filmmakers."
Born in
Paris to Polish parents, he moved with his family back to
Poland in 1937, shortly before the outbreak of World War II.
He survived the Holocaust and was educated in Poland and became
a director of both art house and commercial films. Polanski's
first feature-length film, Knife in the Water (1962), made
in Poland, was nominated for a United States Academy Award
for Best Foreign Language Film but was beaten by Federico
Fellini's 8?. He has since received five more Oscar nominations,
along with two Baftas, four Césars, a Golden Globe Award and
the Palme d'Or of the Cannes Film Festival in France. In the
United Kingdom he directed three films, beginning with Repulsion
(1965). In 1968 he moved to the United States, and cemented
his status by directing the Oscar winning horror film Rosemary's
Baby (1968).
|
|
| In
1969, Polanski's pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered while
staying at Polanski's Benedict Canyon home above Los Angeles
by members of the Manson Family. Following Tate's death, Polanski
returned to Europe and spent much of his time in Paris and Gstaad,
but did not direct another film until Macbeth (1971) in England.
The following year he went to Italy to make What? (1973) and
subsequently spent the next five years living near Rome. However,
he traveled to Hollywood to direct Chinatown (1974). The film
was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, and was a critical
and box-office success. Polanski's next film, The Tenant (1976),
was shot in France, and completed the "Apartment Trilogy",
following Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby.
In 1977,
after a photo shoot in Los Angeles, Polanski was arrested
for the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl and pleaded guilty
to the charge of unlawful sex with a minor. To avoid sentencing,
Polanski fled to his home in London, and then moved on to
France the following day. In September 2009, Polanski was
arrested by Swiss police at the request of U.S. authorities
who asked for his extradition. In July 2010, the Swiss rejected
that request and instead released him from custody and declared
him a "free man." Lech Walesa, Nobel Peace Prize
winner and former President of Poland, argued that the director
"should be forgiven this one sin."
Polanski
continued to make films such as The Pianist (2002), a World
War II true story drama about a Jewish-Polish musician. The
film won three Academy Awards including Best Director, along
with numerous international awards. He also directed other
films, including Oliver Twist (2005), a story which parallels
his own life as a "young boy attempting to triumph over
adversity. His most recent film is The Ghost Writer (2010)
(AKA The Ghost in the UK), adapted from the novel by Robert
Harris, a thriller focusing on a ghostwriter working with
a former British Prime Minister (loosely based on Tony Blair).
It won six European Film Awards in 2010, including best movie,
director, actor and screenplay.

Remember,
to remember...
It's so easy to look back,
old memories trapped in amber,
pain and sorrow tingled with black,
everything in amber,
everything in amber.
We must learn how to forget,
A much harder thing to do,
we must go on without regret,
Wipe clean the slate
and start anew.
Erase the past and look ahead...
|
人们通常很容易追忆，
古老的记忆储存在琥珀中
记得，要记得...
痛苦和悲伤被黑暗刺痛
所有的事情存在琥珀里
所有的事情存在琥珀里
我们必须学会怎么去忘记
去作一件更难的事
我们必须无悔的活下去
擦除旧事
然后重新开始
擦除往事向前看...

The
wind brings the news that the new one arrives
The night she'd a tear driven to despair
The fate does not belong to him anymore
He must take part in spectacle the nature prepared
|
风说斯人将临
那夜她流下失望的泪
命运将不再属于他
他必须展示天性

Life,
it is nothing but a clean
Blotted out and patient sheet
What a great responsibility
For this who holds the pen
Reminiscences of youth
Closed in the old photographs
Testimony of reality
Writing it down is a pure formality
|
生命,空虚而清白
被玷污而染病
一个崇高的职责
对于持笔的人
回顾青春
定格在老照片上的
真实的记录
写在幽国车站里

I
can see him sitting at the table
In manners and gestures he behaved so exquisite
I'll never forget the words he said
"The world you brought to life I often visit" |
我看到坐在桌旁的他
举止如此高雅
我永远不会忘记他说的话
"我常拜访你所生活的世界" |
|
|
The
darkness came
Scenes before my eyes
Now I know
Where the truth lies. |
黑暗来到
我的眼前
现在我知道
哪里是真实的谎言 |
|
|
I
close my eyes I can feel no pain
The sound of blast echoes in my head
His face with a worried frown
I can see myself lying on the ground |
闭上眼睛我不再痛苦
爆炸声在我的头上回响
他的脸愁眉不展
我看到我自己躺在地上 |
