The story of a single mother who suffers from double vision; caring for her baby is a nerve-wrecking task that eventually leads her to a nervous breakdown. She is suspected of being a child abuser when things get out of control and her baby is taken away.
Kotoko (pop star Cocco in her first starring role) is a young mother struggling to raise her young son Daijiro. Her grip on reality is shaky at best. Through her narration we quickly learn she see s double of everyone, one good and one evil. The problem is she can t tell which one is real, and is constantly moving from apartment to apartment as she assaults neighbours she fears are out to harm her or her baby. Every moment of her life devolves in to paranoid induced state, where she worries what tragedy awaits her son. She cuts herself in an effort to remind her that she is real, and what she s experiencing is not a dream or delusion. The only time she feels at peace, when all her anxiety melts away and she feels whole, is when she sings. Soon Daijiro is taken from her, as authorities believe she is in fact abusing her child, and place him in the custody of her sister. At the same time, a famous author (played by Tsukamoto) who hears Kotoko s singing on a bus begins to stalk her, mesmerized by what he hears. He follows her around, desperate to strike up a relationship with her, no matter what the emotional or physical cost it may have on him or her.
幕后制作
自1989年《铁男》横空出世以来,集编剧、导演、摄影、美术、演员、剪辑于一身的全方位创作型电影人冢本晋也成为日趋工业化的电影体制内一个最为惹眼的异类。此后的岁月里,他凭借《东京铁拳(Tokyo Fist)》、《子弹芭蕾(Bullet Ballet)》、《六月之蛇》、《迷雾(HAZE)》、《噩梦侦探》等极端风格化的作品探讨着人与工业社会矛盾统一的关系,并对个体灵魂深处的孤独进行最为冷峻又满怀温情的解剖与挖掘。凄厉冰冷的影像与独特凝重的风格使冢本晋也蜚声国际,成为世界影坛最为关注的日本导演之一。
近年来,冢本晋也渐渐摆脱早期赖以成名的暴戾风格,视角从人与社会对立的大命题开始转向对家庭亲情的关注,如《迷雾》、《哀愁的预感(哀しい予感)》(舞台剧)、《噩梦侦探2》、《叶樱与魔笛(妖しき文豪怪談 第2话 葉樱と魔笛)》莫不如此。此番经历了母亲去世之痛的冢本导演似乎将《噩梦侦探2》中的之线展开,更为深入地讨论母与子这一趋近亲情本源的命题。
女主角琴子是一个单身母亲,由于患有复视症状而在精神上遭受着痛苦的折磨,在她看来周遭世界充满凶险,危脆不堪。她试图保护孩子,却不知不觉用残忍的方式伤害着孩子与自己。饰演这一被情爱、愤怒、恐惧、疑惑等强烈情感充盈身心角色的是来自冲绳的个性派女歌手Cocco,这个为了保护濒危动物儒艮而放声歌唱并恣意落泪的真性情女孩,以其特有的方式和气质本色演绎了心思过于缜密的琴子,也为她的“人生做下注脚”。此外,Cocco还担任了本片词曲、演唱、美术、企划、原案的工作。一向热衷于承揽各种创作工作的冢本导演此次也不例外,在片中饰演了倾慕琴子的小说家田中,更包揽了企划、制片、编剧、摄影、剪辑等职务。两位多才多艺的创作型役者携手会产生怎样的化学反应,令人期待。
本片荣获第68届威尼斯国际电影节地平线单元大奖。
