70The cruelty of his methods aside -- and Polanski wasn't the first director to terrorize an actor for the sake of a performance -- Repulsion is a frightening, fiercely entertaining experience that holds up to time. (Review of May 1998 revival)
在《冷血惊魂》中,女主《排斥》的对象可能不是具体的人,而是一种既令人确信又令人怀疑,既令人享受又令人厌恶的人生道路。这种自相矛盾体现在两姐妹截然不同的生活方式上:姐姐被「有妇之夫」吸引,并完全沉浸在「爱与罪与罚」这种和谐、稳固和经典的「斜塔」结构当中。单身的妹妹则对践行开放式「三人行」关系感到惶恐和不安,且被困在现实与妄想之间不知何去何从。不得不说,波兰斯基这套虚实结合的「警钟」大法实在高超。显然,这个涉及世俗伦理「道德」的两难困境是他前三部作品里都有探讨但均未能超克的问号,在《水中刀》结尾,将第三者「排斥」遗弃在二人世界之外的夫妻还能心平气和地商讨,并流露出和解的征兆。本片结尾暗示了丈夫的去向和妻子再次被第三者代替的悲惨遭遇。到了《死胡同》那里,妻子早早投奔情人的怀抱,丈夫像尼采一样疯掉。
Repulsion is a classy, truly horrific psychological drama in which Polish director Roman Polanski draws out a remarkable performance from young French thesp, Catherine Deneuve. (Review of Original Release)
