8.《烏娜》（Una）

上映日期：9月1日（英國）

A full year after it played at the Toronto and London film festivals in 2016, Una is set to arrive in cinemas. Ben Mendelsohn plays a convicted paedophile, Ray, who is confronted by Una (Rooney Mara), now grown, who he abused when she was 12 years old. He's changed his name and has abandoned his old life – we think – having taken a well-paying job and moved to the suburbs with a wife who's totally unaware of his criminal history. Una wants to figure out what her abuse meant and whether or not Ray feels remorse. Theatre director Benedict Andrews makes his film debut with Una, an adaptation of David Harrower's 2005 play Blackbird, which most recently ran on Broadway in 2016 with Jeff Daniels and Michelle Williams playing Ray and Una. The film does feel stage bound as a result, with many dialogue-heavy scenes set in and around the labyrinth of an office/factory complex where Ray now works. Some of the staging is awkward, but the performances of Mendelsohn and Mara are so strong it hardly matters.
2016年，《烏娜》在多倫多電影節(jié)及倫敦電影節(jié)展映，過了整整一年后，終于要在院線上映了。魯尼?瑪拉飾演的烏娜成年后指控雷（本?門德爾森飾）在她12歲時(shí)對她進(jìn)行性侵，雷被判侵犯未成年罪名成立。出獄之后，雷改頭換面揮別過去的生活，他有著一份高薪的工作并和妻子搬到郊區(qū)居住，妻子對他過往的犯罪歷史毫不知情。而烏娜則想要弄清楚那段性侵的意義，雷有沒有對此感到懺悔。《烏娜》是戲劇導(dǎo)演本尼迪克特?安德魯斯的電影處女作，該片改編自大衛(wèi)?夏洛瓦2005年的劇作《黑鳥》，這部戲劇最近于2016年登上百老匯舞臺(tái)，由杰夫?丹尼爾斯飾演雷，米歇爾?威廉姆飾演烏娜。正因如此，電影《烏娜》有著明顯的舞臺(tái)感，片中許多大段對白的戲份都發(fā)生在雷如迷宮般的工作室內(nèi)或周圍。在門德爾森和瑪拉精湛的演技下，可以忽視影片部分拙劣的場景。
