Talking about : Fantasy

有人說大腦是人類最大的性器官，意喻想像力在性行為中的重要性．在拉片中，性幻想更是常用手法，因為對初入女女相戀境域的新手，這是一種被壓抑的情感，或是深怕被拒絕的惡懼．幻想者通常是二者中最保守的那一方．性幻想除了是主角在初期的宣洩，也是編導用來指引觀眾主角性傾向的風向球．

＜Nina's Heavenly Delights 蓮娜的甜美生活 (2006)＞ (*Review)
二位主角在片中惜肉如金，性幻想的尺度就僅止於四目相對，十指相扣了．它使用柔光暈眩的效果，是許多拉片最常採用的方式．




＜Sugar Rush (2005)＞ (*S1 Review)
性幻想除了使用迷離的燈光之外，還可使用「出人意外的場景」．在所有拉片性幻想中，我非常欣賞＜Sugar Rush＞在第一季一開場的春夢，強力旋轉的咖啡杯座配上節奏搖滾樂，把年輕拉子的愛慾癡狂完全推到另一個境界．


＜Loving Annabelle (2006)＞ (*Review)
另一個「出人意外的場景」故意選在教堂．它原本可以拍得很好，但是整體執行不佳，拉垮了成績．





＜Imagine Me And You 新娘向後跑/四角關係(2005)＞ (*Review)
燈光使用方式和＜蓮娜＞有異曲同工之處，不過幻想時間太短，新嫁娘只舖陳到撥開對方的頭髮，就遏然而止．



＜But I'm Cheerleader 戀戀模範生(1999)＞
挺有原創性的劇本．一個最不可能是拉子的啦啦隊員，被旁人挖掘出潛在因子．送入矯正營中，卻愛上一個酷妹．這幕快要曝光過度的春夢，代表她快要忍受不住的慾望，她得像十三世紀自殘的苦行憎，用電擊棒苦苦壓抑．


＜Fucking Åmål/Show Me Love 同窗之愛 (1998)＞
同樣採用略為曝光過度的性幻想．除了這一景之外，還有一幕是看著對方照片自慰....只能說，北歐民族對少女的情慾真很開放．




＜When Night Is Falling 夜幕低垂 (1995)＞
這應該是「出人意外的場景」的宗師，明明是在家中洗碗，對方卻出現在不可能的時空．那個背後撫吻，真是太經典了．






＜Henry and June 第三情 (1990)＞
銀行家之妻Anaïs Nin(古典大眼美女Maria de Medeiros)同時喜歡上Henry Miller,June Miller夫妻．她與Henry之間倒是簡單明快，與June之間的發展就顯得撲朔迷離，所以先來一場性幻想是必要的．

*八卦一下：我曾在某期PREMIERE雜誌看過一篇Uma Thurman 烏瑪舒曼的專訪，她回憶當初拍＜Henry and June＞和導演是相當不愉快．

我找到了July 1998 那一期P.60-P.67是她的專訪，在P.65的邊欄"Uma Cum Laude" 這樣寫道：
"It was very heavily sexual material, which I knew, but I was just nineteen and I wasn't very sexual, I wasn't in charge of myself as a woman. Philip Kaufman and I didn't get along, and I'd never not gotten along with a director. His whole agenda was very overwhelming, very unpleasant for me. He wanted more sexuality, beyond what was writeen on the page. I wasn't really prudish where I felt it was merited artistically, but I fought him about a lot of things."

"It was the first time I'd ever tried to refuse direction. Not as in, 'No, I won't do it'; but I would struggle and try to achieve it in appearance, but at the same time undercut it. i think he found me to be a neurotic little frightening kid. It was an initiation for me, because I had to take the beating and try to persevere. I survived it, and some of my performance was pretty much as I wanted, except for all the kinky stuff, the strange usages of body doubles. I said, 'Do what you want, go ahead, have fun'; I washed my hands of that. I was proud--I'd never been proud before. Because I didn't end up getting crushed by the struggle."

["For the record," Kaufmant tells PREMIERE, "there was no use of body doubles in the film."]
