Cruella 《黑白魔女库伊拉》

 

Who was Cruella de Vil before she became the puppy-cidal maniac¹ we met in 101 Dalmatians? It's not a question many of us have asked, but Cruella is a weirdly² enticing³ prospect⁴. Emma Stone puts on her haughtiest⁵ English accent to play Estella – a fashion designer who is desperate for fame and fortune in 1970s London. Emma Thompson is Baroness⁶ von Hellman, whose name suggests that she could be almost as diabolical⁷ as Ms de Vil. Let's hope that Cruella doesn't make the mistake Maleficent did, and turn a deliciously wicked Disney villainess into a mopey, misunderstood heroine.

库伊拉·德维尔在变成《101斑点狗》里杀狗成狂的女魔头之前是什么样的呢？没有太多人提出过这个问题，但是《黑白魔女库伊拉》却有一种诡异的吸引力。艾玛·斯通将会用最傲慢的英国口音来饰演20世纪70年代伦敦的一位追名逐利的时装设计师艾斯黛拉。艾玛·汤姆森饰演巴隆尼斯·冯·赫尔曼（Hellman字面意思是地狱之人），这一名字暗示着她可能会和库伊拉一样恶毒。但愿《黑白魔女库伊拉》不要犯《沉睡魔咒》的错误，将一个足够邪恶的迪士尼女反派洗白成一个被误解的消沉的女主角。

 

Released internationally in cinemas and on Disney+ on 28 May

First Cow《第一头牛》

 

Kelly Reichardt's First Cow is a quiet, tender frontier drama set in The Oregon Territory in the 1820s.

They make a start by baking cakes to sell to passing trappers. But their secret ingredient is milk from the only cow for miles around, so they must sneak¹¹ on to its owner's farm every night.

凯莉·莱卡特导演的《第一头牛》是一部背景设定在19世纪20年代的俄勒冈的安静温柔的西部片。影片的核心是谦卑的库奇（约翰·马加罗饰演）和野心勃勃的路金（奥赖恩·李饰演）之间迅速成长的友情，两人都是身无分文的外来者，梦想着在绿色荒原上创业。他们靠着烤蛋糕起步，将蛋糕出售给过路的捕兽者。但是作为他们秘方原料之一的牛奶来自几英里远的一只奶牛，所以他们每天夜里都必须偷偷溜进奶牛主人的农场。

Army of the Dead 《活死人军团》

 

Zack Snyder's directorial debut¹² was 2004's Dawn of The Dead, one of the films which, along with 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, turned zombies into mainstream¹³ Hollywood money-spinners. Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) stars as an ex-soldier who leads a band of mercenaries into a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas to take $200 million from an abandoned vault¹⁴. Sin City being what it is, they must get past an undead tiger, an undead Liberace impersonator and hundreds of undead gamblers who stack the odds¹⁵ against them.

扎克·施奈德的导演处女作是2004年的《活死人黎明》，该片连同《惊变28天》、《僵尸肖恩》等电影使得僵尸片成为好莱坞主流商业片。戴夫·巴蒂斯塔（曾出演《银河护卫队》）饰演一名退伍老兵，他带领一队雇佣兵进入后末日时代的拉斯维加斯，打算从一个废弃的银行保险库中取走2亿美元（约合人民币13亿元）。在“罪恶之城”中，他们必须经过一头僵尸老虎、一个僵尸钢琴演奏家，还有数百名僵尸投机者。

Riders of Justice《正义骑士》

 

Mads Mikkelsen plays Markus, a bearded, crewcut soldier who is shipped home from active duty after his wife is killed in a train accident. But maybe it wasn't an accident. A bunch of dysfunctional middle-aged¹⁶ men are convinced that a biker gang was responsible, so the unstable¹⁷ Markus sets about getting his revenge. Written and directed by Anders Thomas Jensen (Men & Chicken), Riders of Justice "is salty, violent, transgressive and laugh-out-loud funny," says Fionnuala Hannigan in Screen Daily.

麦斯·米科尔森饰演剃平头、留胡子的士兵马库斯，在妻子死于一场火车事故后，正在服役的他被运送回家。但是这可能不是一场事故。几个怪异的中年男人坚信马库斯妻子的死和摩托车帮有关，于是精神不稳定的马库斯决定复仇。该片由安诺斯·托马斯·延森（曾执导《男人与鸡》）担任编剧和导演，《电影日报》的菲奥诺拉·汉尼根评价说，该片“汗津津、暴力、违背道德而且超级搞笑”。
