導演的話 / Director’s Statement

 

這部作品就像西部片大導演瑟吉歐李歐尼和前衛導演大衛林區一起生了一個伊朗搖滾小孩,然後請穆瑙的《吸血鬼》(Nosferatu)還當保母。全片都用黑白攝影,有超酷的原聲帶和卡司。
我想拍一部伊朗片,第一個問題就是,怎麼拍?因為我顯然不能在伊朗拍,我的解決方法變成了這整部片的起源。我在加州沙漠找到一個廢棄的無人石油小鎮,後來就被我們改造成片中的虛構伊朗鬼鎮,萬惡之城。拍攝地點搞定之後,我就開始大肆創作了。

我創造了自己的世界,自己立規矩。所有的角色的靈感,都是發想自五零至九零年代我喜愛的流行文化代表人物,例如詹姆士狄恩、蘇菲亞羅蘭、南非饒舌團體回答樂團(Die Antwoord)的主唱 Ninja,當然還有各式各樣的吸血鬼。我希望他們的造型和氣質是永遠都不會過時的,同時也富含這個故事的神祕與超現實色彩,所以我採用黑白的變形鏡頭拍攝,讓片子看起來像圖像小說,給觀眾一個跨類型的感官體驗。

要聊怎麼拍這部片,就一定得聊音樂。音樂在我的生活裡一直都佔有很大的部份。我之前是歌手,也在搖滾樂團裡做過好幾年的貝斯手,我現在則愛上了當 DJ,所以音樂在這部片裡當然是很關鍵的元素。這部片的原聲帶的重要性,跟劇本是不相上下的。每首歌都是事前精挑細選的,音樂的力量強大到主導了拍片的方式,是一股讓故事在不同媒介中流轉的魔力。

It’s like Sergio Leone and David Lynch had an Iranian rock ‘n’ roll baby, and then Nosferatu came and babysat for them. It’s shot in black and white; it has a crazy awesome soundtrack and an incredible cast. I wanted to make an Iranian film, but the question was how? Since I obviously can’t shoot in Iran, the solution became the invention of the entire film; I found a desolate, vacant oil-town in the desert of California which became the ficticious Iranian ghost-town Bad City, and suddenly there were no rules. I created my own universe, and made the rules.

And the cast of characters are inspired by pop icons I love from the 50’s all the way through the 90’s, like James Dean, Sophia Loren, Ninja from Die Antwoord, and of course, the limitless possibilities of a Vampire.I wanted the look and feel to be timeless, and truly complete the mythical and surreal feeling of the story, so that’s why I shot in black and white anamorphic; it gave us this graphic look, and the film suddenly became a truly genre-blending experience.

It’s impossible to talk about making this film without talking about the music. Music has been a big part of my life; I was singer and bass player of a rock band for many years, and now love DJ’ing, so it’s natural that music is also a vital part of this film. The soundtrack was very much a part of the design of the film, at the script level. Each song you hear was picked in advance, and the power of music is so massive that it leads the way in the filmmaking. It’s the magic that transports a moment into another dimension.

導演‧編劇 安娜莉莉阿米波爾 / Writer & Director  Ana Lily Amirpour

安娜莉莉 12 歲就拍攝了第一部電影,在此之後,陸續得了許多短片獎的肯定,也受邀參加過柏林影展、紐約翠貝卡影展、洛杉磯電影節等國際重量級影展。
恐怖片與史詩愛情片是安娜莉莉畢生的最愛,《女孩半夜不回家》融合了這兩種類型片的元素,故事的地理背景反映了她伊朗美裔的血統,精采的配樂更呈現了她對音樂的熱愛。
這部獨一無二的愛情故事,深受大衛林區(David Lynch)的《我心狂野》 (Wild at Heart)、瑟吉歐李歐尼(Sergio Leone)《狂沙十萬里》(Once Upon a Time in the West)和教父導演柯波拉(Francis Ford Coppola)執導的街頭輓歌《鬥魚》(Rumble Fish)的影響,保證讓熱愛電影的影迷大呼過癮。
