2014年十大影片之選——時報金牌影評人推薦

8. This has been quite a year for difficult male artists and their troubles — with women, with ambition, with a world that doesn’t quite understand them. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Birdman” and Alex Ross Perry’s “Listen Up, Philip” each take a crack at the creative ego and its discontents, but they are pale, tentative efforts next to Mike Leigh’s “Mr. Turner,” an earthy, messy, altogether sublime portrait of the great 19th-century British painter, played by Timothy Spall.

8.這一年有很多影片都是反映那些處境艱難的男性藝術家與他們的煩惱——關于女人、關于抱負，還有這個并不完全理解他們的世界。亞歷桑德羅·G·伊納里多(Alejandro G. Iñárritu)的《鳥人》(Birdman)與亞歷克斯·羅斯·佩里(Alex Ross Perry)的《菲利普的生活》(Listen Up, Philip)都成功拍出了創(chuàng)造型人格及其內心的不滿，但和麥克·李(Mike Leigh)的《透納先生》(Rr. Turner)相比，這兩部影片就顯得像是蒼白而不確定的嘗試。《透納先生》由蒂莫西·斯波(Timothy Spall)主演，為這位偉大的19世紀英國畫家勾勒出一幅質樸、混亂而又莊嚴的肖像。
