黑色维纳斯的剧情介绍,为什么萨拉哈·巴特曼这个当时供人取乐的奴隶会在法庭上放弃自由?为什么她拒绝科学家们检查她的私处,却又以患病的流莺身份悲惨死去?在重新回顾这段历史时,阿拉伯裔法国导演阿布戴拉提夫·柯西切始终无法理解萨拉哈当时的选择。在《黑色维纳斯》中,阿布戴拉提夫·柯西切用他深厚的学院派背景,熟练地运用了戏剧化的表演方式,设置了多场舞台化的表演,医学院里的研究结果展示、舞台上莎拉哈供人取乐的节目、法庭辩论、贵族奢靡聚会上的演出等等。每个场景导演都用了接近真实长度的镜头展示,就像是一场完整的表演。《黑色维纳斯》中值得称道的是女主角娅伊玛·托莱斯精彩内敛收放自如的表演。这位在巴黎街道上与导演偶遇的黑人非职业演员,很有可能会像出演《珍爱》的加布雷·斯蒂贝一样因扮演悲情女角而一鸣惊人。
The story of Saartjes Baartman, a Black domestic who, in 1808, left Southern Africa, then ruled by Dutch settlers, for Europe, following her boss Hendrick Caesar , hoping to find fame and fortune there. Once in London her master turned manager does nothing but exhibit her as a freak in a phony and humiliating carnival show. After a series of troubles caused by their act, Caesar, Saartje and their new friend, bear-tamer Réaux, head for Paris where once again, and against her will, she has to mimic savagery and expose her body, first in carnivals, then in the aristocratic salons of Paris, later on among the libertines and finally in brothels where she ends up being a prostitute. In the meantime, French anatomists will have taken an interest in her unusual anatomy (enormous buttocks and labia) only to declare her the missing link from ape to man. In 1815, aged only 27, she dies alone, of a combination of pneumonia and venereal disease.
起來,不願他人做奴隸的人們。霍屯督维纳斯和萨拉哈·巴特曼。眼之拷问。DVD。來自非洲大陸的豐乳肥臀。被判定的人。深度不太够。尊严是一种永恒的美。
