洞 (The Hole)

故事簡介

1947年，五名囚犯試圖逃離巴黎La Sante監獄。1960年，Jacques Becker找來當年有份參與的Jean Keraudy加上其他非職業演員把事件重演。透過長鏡頭、極微量的配樂以及極少量對白，影片聚精會神於囚犯的實質準備功夫。這不是Shawshank Redemption，激勵人心並非本片目的，Becker欲呈現的，純粹是這群囚犯如何一步一步接近完成一個不可能的任務。

The Hole

Synopsis

Based on the true story of five inmates who attempt a daring escape from La Santé prison in Paris, The Hole centres on a group of men who try to pull off the impossible. The focus here is the meticulous preparation that goes into pulling off the plan. The cast is comprised entirely of non-professional actors (one of them, Jean Keraudy, was a participant in the actual escape attempt in 1947). The acting is spare, without pretence, and, for the most part, non-verbal. Becker utilises long shots and refrains from using a musical soundtrack to heighten the sense of realism. There’s a sense that The Hole is a re-creation of events rather than a mere cinematic version of them.
