1、9/10 Excellent Film, Grim and Dark

9星 短评：出色的电影，冷酷而黑暗

It seems that, every few years, there are one or two Chinese films that, despite being slow-paced, dark, and lacking A-list stars, somehow manage to attract a large domestic audience without being controversial enough to risk complete censorship. In 2014, the only example I have seen so far is this, Black Coal, Thin Ice. The reason for its domestic success is presumably because of its awards at the Berlin Film Festival.

似乎每隔几年就会出现一两部中国电影，它们虽然节奏缓慢、黑暗且缺少一线明星，却能莫名其妙地吸引一大片国内观众，又不会太过争议妨碍其过审。在2014年，我看到的唯一的例子就是这部《白日焰火》。它在国内获得成功的原因，想必是它在柏林电影节中的获奖。

As the story unfolds, despite being based around a series of murders, the film has a pace more similar to an art-house film than a crime- thriller. A couple of scenes were impressively disturbing, made even more so by the slow paced, subtle atmosphere surrounding them.

随着故事的展开，虽然基于的是一系列谋杀，该片的推进节奏更接近于艺术片而非犯罪惊悚片。有一两个场景给人带来的不安叫人印象深刻，而缓慢的节奏，以及包围着他们的微妙气氛更凸显了这种效果。

The setting of a polluted, dark, seedy city in a long Heilongjiang winter seems perfect for the noir tone of the film. A subtle musical score, with some dissonant strings combined with (terrible) Chinese pop songs (intra-diegetic) creates a fantastic atmosphere. The closest thing to it I have seen is Suzhou River, which, now I come to think of it, has a lot of similar motifs (I haven''''t seen Diao Yinan''''s previous films).

把背景设定在黑龙江漫长冬日里的一座被污染了的晦暗的破败城市，这对该片的黑色基调来说似乎是完美的。精妙的配乐，配上些不和谐的弦乐，和（糟糕的）中国流行歌曲（画内音）一道，营造出一种奇幻迷离的气氛。我看过的与之最接近的电影是《苏州河》，现在我想起来了，它俩有着很多类似的母题（我没看过刁亦男之前的电影）。

The acting performances were all impressive, the female lead (played by Taiwanese Gwei/Gui Lun-Mei) seemed suitably out of place in the Far Northeast of Mainland China. Liao Fan''''s male lead, and Wang Xuebing''''s character, were both impressive.

演技方面的表现都很抢眼，那位女主角（台湾人桂纶镁饰演）看上去似乎与中国大陆的东北腹地不太合拍，但这种不合拍在这里很是适宜。廖凡饰演的男主角，以及王学兵的角色都很亮眼。

Despite a bit of dark humour that made me giggle, Black Coal, Thin Ice is a relentlessly grim and slightly disturbing film. I was impressed that it wasn''''t (more) censored in China, as it paints a pretty depressing picture. Despite being enthralled by the film, I won''''t be booking a flight to Heilongjiang any time soon.

尽管里面有很多黑色幽默的部分会让我傻笑。《白日焰火》是一部冷酷无情且会让人有点不安的影片。能在中国过审让我很是惊叹，因为它描绘出的是一幅相当无望的图景。尽管我被这电影迷住了，近期内我是不打算去订飞黑龙江的机票了。

2、9/10 Black Coal, Thin Ice

9星 短评：黑色的煤，薄薄的冰

I have seen various Chinese films (specially during the ''''90s, the golden age of Hong Kong), but I think Black Coal, Thin Ice is the first (from what I have seen) genuinely Chinese movie, because it embraces the national idiosyncrasy and offers us a revealing look to the culture of that country. Black Coal, Thin Ice is also an excellent thriller on its own right. Its screenplay employs many elements of classic noir: the failed detective, a confusing but vaguely logical mystery and the obligatory femme fatale who might be guilty of the crimes or an innocent victim of circumstances. However, director and screenwriter Yi''''nan Diao filters those components through his particular sensibility, and the result is so natural that it borders on the prosaic. For example, near the beginning of the film, there is a very short shootout, shot almost with apathy... the camera is midway and it barely moves; but the impact of the scene is tremendous, manifesting the easiness with which tragedy can come, completely lacking of the artifice and ornaments we see in many Hollywood films. This doesn''''t mean that Black Coal, Thin Ice feels flat or superficial. The "anti-style" of the scenes and their minimalistic aesthetic is obviously intentional, highlighting the characters'''' opaque lives and the bleak social setting of poverty and corruption, in which dignity and "political correction" are almost inexistent. And all that is frxd by a grey wintry atmosphere, ready to trample human spirit even more. In conclusion, Black Coal, Thin Ice is an innovative and fascinating interpretation of contemporary neo-noir, deceiving us with false clues, obfuscating our perception and saving the revelations for an ending which is as austere and enigmatic as the rest of the film. Black Coal, Thin Ice might not be everyone''''s cup of tea, but whoever is willing to face the challenge of watching something new and unusual will surely appreciate Diao''''s intention and his strange ordinary/dreamlike style.

我看过各式各样的中国电影（尤其是90年代，香港电影的黄金时代），但我觉得《白日焰火》是第一部（就我所看过的影片来说）真正的中国电影，因为它蕴含着这个国家的特质，并让我们得以一窥该国文化的本来面目。《白日焰火》就其本身来说也是一部优秀的惊悚片。其剧本采用了很多经典黑色影片的元素：落魄不得志的侦探，一个让人困惑却又依稀符合逻辑的谜，加上蛇蝎美人，她可能犯有罪行，也可能只是个人境遇的无辜受害者。然而，导演兼编剧刁亦男通过他独有的嗅觉对这些组成部分进行了过滤，得到的结果是如此浑然无迹，以至于濒临乏味的边缘。比如说，在电影开篇后不久，有一场非常简练的枪战，拍得几乎不带感情…摄影机置于中间，几乎不作移动，但这个场景带来的冲击力是巨大的，清楚显示了悲剧可能轻易就会来临，完全没有我们在很多好莱坞电影中能看到的那些机巧和装饰。但这并不意味着《白日焰火》在观感上会显得扁平化或是肤浅。这些“反套路化”的场景及其极简美学显然是刻意为之，凸显了人物不透明的生活，以及充满贫穷腐败的、近乎荒残的社会环境，在这样的环境中，尊严和......几乎是不存在的。所有这些是由一种灰色的冬日气氛架构起来的，时刻准备着进一步践踏人们的精神。总而言之，《白日焰火》是对当代新黑色电影的一次新颖而迷人的诠释，用错误线索误导我们，混淆我们的感知，并把揭秘一路留到了结局，而这结局就和影片其他部分一样凝练和高深莫测。《白日焰火》可能不合所有人的口味，但那些愿意接受挑战去观看一些新鲜而不同凡响的片子的观众，一定会赞赏刁导的意图，及其平凡而又梦幻的奇异风格。

3、10/10 Classic Noir meets Chinese Realism

10星 短评：经典黑色电影遭遇中国式现实主义

In snow covered streets surrounded by perpetual darkness detectives and suspects are made distinguishable only by the soft glow of neon signs. Faces are shrouded by shadow, characters motives are unclear. We are in very classic noir territory in Black Coal, Thin Ice.

大雪覆盖的大街被无休止的黑暗包围着，这让侦探和嫌疑犯变得无法区分，只能依靠霓虹灯柔和的光晕。脸庞被阴影遮盖，人物的动机模糊不明。我们就这样置身于《白日焰火》那非常经典的黑色电影疆界之中。

A brutal murder occurs in Northern China. Severed limbs appear simultaneously across the country in coal plants. The investigation into the murder is botched, leaving detective Zhang Zili injured, ashamed and without a job. Five years later, body parts are found in coal plants. Now an alcoholic and working as a security guard, Zhang once again finds himself in the pursuit of the mysterious mass murderer. The only connection between the two cases is a beautiful dry cleaning assistant Wu Zhizhen, who soon becomes the obxt of Zhang''''s obsession.

一桩凶残的杀人案发生在中国北方。被oo的肢体同时出现在全国各地的煤电厂中。对这桩杀人案的调查被弄得一团糟，侦探张自力因此负伤，不仅在众人前抬不起头来，还丢了工作。五年后，煤电厂中又发现了o块。如今的张成了一个酒鬼，做着保安的工作，他再一次陷入对那个杀害多人神秘凶手的追查。两个案件之间唯一的联系是漂亮的干洗店帮工吴志贞，很快她就成为了张痴迷的目标。

An intriguing combination of neo-noir and Chinese realism, Black Coal, Thin Ice demonstrates director Yi''''nan Diao''''s genre literacy. From the lighting, to the troubled anti-hero, to the femme-fatale, the film is full of noir tropes. What makes the film unique is the camera''''s continual shift to the mundane. Unlike the modern Tarantino-inspired trend, the revelations and acts of violence are down-played. Plot takes a back seat to atmosphere as the audience is immersed in a bleak, nihilistic vision of modern China.

新黑色电影和中国式现实主义的有趣结合，《白日焰火》彰显出了刁亦男导演驾驭类型片的素养。从打光，到惶惑的反英雄人物，再到蛇蝎美人，该片充满了黑色比喻。让这部电影变得独特的是：摄影机会不断地转入尘世的视角。与昆汀·塔伦蒂诺激起的现代潮流不同，把揭秘和暴力行为作了轻描淡写的处理。情节屈居于氛围之后，因为观众沉浸到一个荒凉而虚无主义版本的现代中国中去了。

Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin film festival, Black Coal, Thin Ice has been a hit with critics but it''''s hard to see it winning any audience awards. The slow pace and dark, defeatist world view will be a turn off for most audience but if you don''''t view those as detractors, and if you are a fan of noir then this is a film to see.

柏林电影节金熊奖的赢家《白日焰火》已经取得了成功，也伴随着批评，但它并没有赢得任何观众选择奖。对大部分观众来说，这种缓慢的节奏，及其阴暗、失败主义的世界观会另其兴趣索然，但如果你不把它们看成黑点，而且如果你是黑色电影的粉丝，那这便是一部该去看一看的电影。

4、8/10 It Gets Icier By The Minute In China''''s Siberia

8星 短评：在中国的西伯利亚，每分钟都变得更加冰冷

This film noir detective story with fantasy elements takes place in China''''s northernmost corner, Heilongjiang province, in a nondescxt industrial city where the grip of winter gets colder and colder as the story progresses. You will need to pay attention, as the plot is not explained verbally and you have to notice a lot of visual cues. The characters do not talk much really, and when they do utter a sentence or two, it has nothing to do with the plot. You could almost think that the director would be Jim Jarmusch but he''''s not obviously. Diao Yinan has seen an Aki Kaurismäki film or two, one can tell, and it is no wonder that the film was well received by the Berlin festival crowd. It is not the kind of film Chinese audiences would love, though. This does not make BCTI any worse as a film. It has a dark and twisted, sometimes silly sense of humour. Once you get the hang of it, the plot is easy to follow yet intriguing. Who dun-it - most viewers will not have a clue but neither does the police! The People''''s Republic does not send it''''s finest this far out in the north. They also have very little to work with to be honest. Detective Zhang who is obsessed with the case has been sacked from the force for very obvious reasons including serious drinking. In addition he can''''t skate and he''''s in Heilongjiang, which you will notice is not a good thing. The film wrings a lot of atmosphere from the utterly unpleasant surroundings. Excellent actors add to it. If you enjoyed the Coen brothers'''' Fargo I can see no reason why you wouldn''''t enjoy Black Coal, Thin Ice. In the final scene, the original Chinese name of the film, Fireworks in Daylight, will be explained - sort of.

这部黑色电影中的侦探故事带有几分幻想元素，发生在中国的极北角落，黑龙江省的一个毫无特色的工业城市中，处于严冬中的城市随着故事的进展变得越来越冷了。你必须要密切注意，因为故事情节并没有在口头上解释清楚，而且你必须去注意很多目视可见的提示。人物话都不多，而当他们说出一两句话时，却和情节扯不上任何关系。你几乎可以把这个导演想象成贾木许，但显然他并不是。你能看出来，刁亦男是看过一两部阿基·考里斯马基的电影的，无怪乎这部电影会深受柏林电影节观众的好评。但这不是中国观众会喜欢的电影类型。但从电影本身来说，这完全不会让《白日焰火》减色。它带着一种黑暗、扭曲，时而还傻傻的幽默感。而一旦你熟悉了它这种路数，故事情节就容易跟进了，却还是能引人入胜。是谁干的？大部分的观看者是毫无头绪的，但警方也一样！在遥远的北方，并没有派出他们最优秀的警察。坦率地说，他们也没有什么工作可做。沉迷于这个案子的张探员因为显而易见的原因已经被解雇了，包括严重酗酒。此外他不会滑冰，而他可是身在黑龙江，你会注意到这可不是什么好事。该片从令人极端不悦的环境中提炼出了相当可观的氛围。出色的演员更增其色。如果你喜欢科恩兄弟的《冰血暴》，那我不觉得你会有任何理由不喜欢《白日焰火》。在最后一场戏中，该片最初的中文名字，白日焰火，会在某种程度上得到解释。
（译注：贾木许（Jim Jarmusch）是著名的美国独立电影导演，以极简主义独步影坛，拥有强烈的个人视觉风格，代表作有《破碎之花》等）

5、9/10 Enigmatic mystery

9星 短评：高深莫测的谜

A highly atmospheric and fascinating mystery, set in the working class regions of Northern China. It is compelling from beginning to end, enigmatic, tragic and beautiful. It has no heroes. It ends with heartbreak and farce. It should be watched more than once.

一个氛围极为独特且引人入胜的谜，背景设定在中国北方的劳动阶级。从头到尾都很让人信服，高深莫测、极富悲剧性，却又很美丽。里面没有英雄。以荒诞且让人心碎的方式结束。是那种应该多看几遍的电影。

It compares, in my mind, to the police procedurals of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.

在我看来，它可以与马伊·舍瓦尔和佩尔·瓦勒的警察办案类作品媲美。
（译注：马伊·舍瓦尔 Maj Sjowall （1935－），佩尔·瓦勒 Per Wahloo （1926－1975），著名瑞典侦探小说作家。这对夫妇共同创作了侦探小说史上著名的马丁·贝克探案系列，被誉为史上最佳“警察探案小说”之一，对侦探小说的创作影响深远；）

Many people have mentioned an extraordinary scene of violence that occurs early in the film. This is an iconic cinematic moment which you will never forget. It also transforms everything that comes later, lending it an air of ambiguity that is never fully resolved.

很多人提到过发生在影片初期的一场异乎寻常的暴力场景。这是一个标志性的电影瞬间，你绝对忘不了。它也改变了之后发生的一切，给电影带来了一种从未得到彻底化解的含糊不清的气氛。

6、So dull

未打星 短评：真是无趣

There are definitely some impressive technical flourishes here. The lighting and the colors used are gorgeous, and really do highlight a lot of the film''''s atmosphere, which is the other good thing about it. It''''s able to achieve atmosphere in a rather surprising way, but it''''s just too bad hat that atmosphere is wasted and doesn''''t really highlight much. The acting is decent, but the story and the screenplay leave a lot to be desired. The characters just aren''''t developed all that well, and just are so, so dull. The film''''s sense of pacing and development are non- existent. I don''''t think this is anything worthwhile, although I''''m sure many will like it just fine.

影片中绝对存在一些炫技的成分。打光和颜色运用是极好的，它们确实大大凸显出了影片的气氛，这是该片的另一大优点。能够以一种相当出人意料的方式营造出氛围，但这种氛围就这么被浪费，而且并没有烘托出太多东西，这实在是很糟糕。演技挺像样的，但这个故事和剧本还有很多有待改进之处。人物发展没那么好，而且太过无趣了。该片没有节奏感和故事发展可言。我不觉得这部片值得花时间去看，虽然我敢肯定还是会有很多人会喜欢它。

7、9/10 A Masculine Poet of Northeast China

9星 短评：来自中国东北的一首阳刚诗篇

The movie specializes in the construction of atmosphere and depiction of spirits. Stillness speaks.

该电影专攻氛围的构建以及对心灵的刻画。寂静会说话。
