Not all angels are innocent.
这部充分发挥幻想力和映象魅力的纽西兰奇情片,改编自五十年代的一宗凶杀案新闻。主角是基督城的两个女中学生茱莉与宝玲,她们虽然来不自不同的社会阶层,却同样喜欢文学和马里奥兰沙浑厚迷人的歌声,整天活在少女的浪漫无边际世界之中,但父母亲发现两人有同性恋倾向而硬要将她们分开。茱莉与宝玲竟然因此合谋设局,在公园中偷袭宝玲的母亲。导演彼得.杰克手法高明,处理两个少女携手作乐时镜头有如行云流水,表现她们沉迷在公主王子的幻想世界时却又充满诡异的前卫气氛。后来以《理性与感性》走红的凯蒂温丝勒和另一少女演员麦兰林斯基也都演得细腻动人。
"Heavenly Creatures," a 1994 cinematic masterpiece produced by Miramax and WingNut Films in New Zealand, delves deep into the psyche of two teenage girls whose intense friendship spirals into a chilling crime. Directed by Peter Jackson, the film is inspired by the real-life 1954 Parker-Hulme murder case, where two friends, portrayed by Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey, concoct a plan to murder one of their mothers. The film's narrative is a gripping exploration of the blurred lines between fantasy and reality, as the girls' shared imaginative world becomes a catalyst for their descent into darkness. The performances of Winslet and Lynskey are nothing short of mesmerizing, capturing the fervor and complexity of their characters' bond. Winslet, in her breakout role, delivers a haunting portrayal of Juliet Hulme, a charismatic and troubled girl whose influence over her friend Pauline Parker, played by Lynskey, is both captivating and unsettling. The chemistry between the two actresses is palpable, drawing the audience into the intoxicating world they create, which is vividly brought to life through Jackson's innovative visual effects and dreamlike sequences. Peter Jackson's direction is a testament to his ability to weave a compelling narrative with stunning visual storytelling. The film's use of claymation and other surreal techniques to depict the girls' fantastical kingdom, Borovnia, adds a layer of depth to the story, illustrating how their shared delusions fuel their actions. The juxtaposition of these fantastical elements with the stark reality of their crime creates a jarring yet effective contrast that underscores the film's central themes of obsession and escape. "Heavenly Creatures" not only stands as a landmark in New Zealand cinema but also as a profound study of the human condition. It challenges viewers to consider the consequences of unchecked imagination and the destructive potential of isolation. The film's haunting conclusion leaves a lasting impact, prompting reflection on the nature of friendship, the influence of environment, and the thin veil between innocence and malevolence.
