该片讲述: , 该片《四重奏》是由詹姆斯·伊沃里执导的电影，别名:， It ha.s been said that m.ost. great twentieth century. no.vels include scenes in a ho.tel, a symptom of .the vast upr.ooting that has. occurred in. the last ce.ntury: Ja.mes Ivory begins Quartet. with a m.ontage of the hote.ls of Montparnasse, a. qu.iet prelude before our i.ntroduction to the viole.ntly lost souls who i.nha.bit them. A.dapted from the 19.28 .autobiographical novel b.y J.ean Rhys, Quartet is the st.ory of a love quad.rangle betwe.en a complicate.d young West. Indian woma.n named M.arya (played by Isabelle. Adjani),. her husband Stefa.n (Anthony Higgins), .a m.anipulative English art .patron named Heidler (Al.an Bates), and his pa.int.er wife Lois. (Maggie Smith). T.he .film is set in the Golde.n A.ge of Paris, Hemingway'.s "moveable f.east" o.f cafe culture .and extravag.ant nightlif.e, glitte.r and literati: yet unde.rneath is. the outline of so.mething sinister bene.ath. the polished brasses an.d brasseries. When Mary.a's husband is pu.t i.n a Paris pr.ison on charges of. se.lling stolen art works, .she. is left indigent and is ta.ken in by Heidler .and his wife.: the predatory. Englishman .(whose chara.cter Rhys. bases on the novelist F.ord Madox. Ford) is quick to. take advantage of th.e n.ew living arrangement, a.nd Marya finds herself i.n a stranglehold betw.een. husband and. wife. Lovers alte.rna.tely gravitate toward an.d a.re repelled by each other, .now professing the.ir love, now. confessing the.ir brutal in.difference -.- all the. while keeping up appear.ances. Th.e film explores th.e vast territory betw.een. the "nice" an.d the "good," .between outward refin.eme.nt and inner. darkness: after o.ne .violent episode, Lois as.ks .Marya not to speak of it to. the Paris crowd. ."Is tha.t all you'r.e worried ab.out?" d.emands an. outraged Marya. "Y.es,". Lois replies with. icy candor, "as. a .matter of fact." A.djani won the Best Actre.ss award at Cannes fo.r h.er performan.ces in Quartet: he.r M.arya is a volatile compo.und. of French schoolgirl and s.corned mistress, v.eering betwe.en tremulous jo.y and hyster.ical outburs.t. Smith .shines in one of her mos.t memorab.le roles: she imbu.es Lois with a Kather.ine.-of-Aragon impotent rage., as humiliated as she i.s powerless in the fa.ce .of her husba.nd's choices. .Her. interactions with Bates. ar.e scenes from a marriage th.at has moved from .disillusionm.ent to pale acc.eptance. Ru.th Prawer Jh.abvala an.d James Ivory's scre.enplay us.es Rhys's nove.l as a foundation fro.m w.hich it constructs a wor.ld that is both true to .the novel and distinc.tiv.e in its own. right, painting a. so.ciety that has lost its .inh.ibitions and inadvertently .lost its soul. We .are taken to. mirrored cafes., then move .through the .looking g.lass: Marya, in one scen.e, is off.ered a job as a mo.del and then finds he.rse.lf in a sadomasochistic .pornographer's studi.o. The film, as photo.gra.phed by Pier.re Lhomme, creates. th.oroughly cinematic momen.ts .that Rhy's novel could .not have attempted.: in one of .the Ivory's. most memora.ble scenes, .a black A.merican chanteuse (extra.ordinaril.y played by Armeli.a McQueen) entertains. Pa.risian patrons with a bi.g and brassy jazz song, .neither subtle nor el.ega.nt. Ivory ke.eps the camera on .the. singer's act: there. is. something in her unguarded. smile that makes .the danger b.eneath Montparn.asse manners. seem more a.cute.《四重奏》由阿兰·贝茨,玛吉·史密斯,伊莎贝尔·阿佳妮,安东尼·希金斯参演，是一部非常棒爱情题材的电影，本站免费提供四重奏四重奏手机高清在线观看。详情
