由玛吉·吉伦哈尔(Maggie Gyllenhaal)——第83届威尼斯国际电影节评审团主席——敲定的获奖名单很值得严肃质疑。一方面,评审团大奖颁给了韩国影片《Possible Love》,该片通过其主人公揭露了纪录片电影那种空洞乃至虚伪的声援——这种电影在理论上声称与最弱势、最边缘化的群体站在一起。另一方面,评审团特别奖刚刚授予了《Naza》,这部影片可能是在徒劳地为对巴勒斯坦人民持续进行、正发生在世界眼前的残暴种族灭绝作证——尽管人们希望自己的这一判断被证明是错的。而授予《Woman Unknown》的金狮奖,与其说是对历史的控诉,不如说是以女性之名颁发的奖项:在战争中,男性的身体不也同样被变成了战场,正如女性的身体被置于这部影片的中心一样?
The awards list shaped by Maggie Gyllenhaal , President of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, is open to serious question. On the one hand, the Grand Jury Prize went to the South Korean Possible Love , a film that, through its protagonist, exposes the hollow—indeed hypocritical—solidarity of a documentary cinema that claims, in theory, to stand with the weakest and most marginalized. On the other, the Special Jury Prize was just awarded to Naza , a film that may be bearing witness in vain—though one hopes to be proved wrong—to the atrocious, continuing genocide of the Palestinian people, unfolding before the eyes of the world. The Golden Lion given to Woman Unknown , meanwhile, feels less like an indictment of history than a prize awarded in the name of the feminine: in wartime, has the male body not also been turned into a battlefield, just as the female body placed at the center of this film?
