虚拟的谎言

　　It has been said that most great twentieth century novels include scenes in a hotel, a symptom of the vast uprooting that has occurred in the last century: James Ivory begins Quartet with a montage of the hotels of Montparnasse, a quiet prelude before our introduction to the violently lost souls who inhabit them.
　　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.

　　15世纪一座巨大的白色城堡里，正在举行盛大的节日庆祝会。魔鬼派遣他创造的人混在杂技艺人当中。在这个却是很美的开始场景中，服装师，演员们和音乐师全都沉醉在法国传统中，他们都以一种完美而准确的风格重现古代细笔画中的人物形象。在这个开头场景以后，在中古时代的服饰下，编剧和导演所表现的世界一直没有变化。但他们的论点发生了改变。影片一方面表现的是善良人，被爱情变得圣洁的人——则那位吟诗人和年轻的领主夫人，另一方面是魔鬼亲自率领的那些邪恶的人，魔鬼在这里同命运混成一体。
　　本片受到了最热烈的欢迎。卡尔内原想把这部神话故事放在当前的时代中来演出。后来，由于慎重考虑，他把时代背景改为迷信魔鬼与巫术的中世纪。原来剧作者的心目中，魔鬼是希特勒的形象。但在影片中这一影射却很难看出来。魔鬼使用妖法，把那些情人化成石像，伫立在喷水池旁，池水反映出骑士们比武，邪恶获得胜利。但是那对被链条锁住，受尽折磨的情人，最后还是不顾一切地聚会在一起，他们的心在石像里面不停的跳动着。人们可以看出这正是被囚禁的法国形象、在卡尔内和普莱卫的影片中，人们第一次看到命运与邪恶无力征服爱和善。
