Un homme et une femme
就算你沒有看過法國電影《男歡女愛》(Un homme et une femme),都一定有聽過它的主題曲:Comme nos voix ba da ba da da ba da ba da ——Francis Lai的旋律 已成最經典的法式罐頭音樂,不譜法語都識得跟住哼。電影的故事很簡單,鰥夫和寡婦帶着各自的子女遇上對方,發展出第二個春天,但其後自然是好事多磨,最終成就蕩氣迴腸的中年羅曼史。

嚴格而言,這部戲連新浪潮的尾巴都抓不住,導演李勞治(Claude Lelouch)名氣也不及高達(Jean-Luc Godard) 或杜魯福(François Truffaut),但仍然盡數吸收這項電影運動的美學精華,城市蒙太奇與對昔人戀人的回閃像極亞倫雷奈(Alain Resnais)的《廣島之戀》(Hiroshima mon amour);彩色、深啡色與藍灰色單色畫面穿插運用,也是因為資金不足的權宜之計——「窮則變,變則通」當然也是新浪潮精神之一。甚至,連女主角安諾艾美(Anouk Aimée)的服裝也是私伙,一出場就挽著經典的CHANEL鏈條菱格紋手袋。
艾曼紐麗娃(Emmanuelle Riva)和珍摩露(Jeanne Moreau) 相繼離世後,安諾艾美應該僅餘在世最年長的法國電影女神了。安諾艾美蜚聲國際的不是法國片,而是意大利超現實大師費里尼(Federico Fellini)的《露滴牡丹開》 (La Dolce Vita)和《八部半》(8 1/2),兩套戲與男神馬斯杜安尼 (Marcello Mastroianni)拍住上,雖然戲內被「肉山 坦己」安妮坦艾格寶(Anita Ekberg)和CC歌迪亞卡汀娜(Claudia Cardinale)搶走不少風頭,但她那種低調優雅的氣質(她戴粗框眼鏡時極好看!)迷倒全球文藝青年,連日本70年代的時尚偶像歌手石田亞由美(いしだあゆみ)都對她的風格亦步亦趨。筆者最喜歡安諾艾美的演出,是積葵丹美(Jacques Demy)的《羅拉》(Lola),她演顛倒眾生的性感舞孃又跳又唱,向男生們普施甘露,也令戲中在法國南特的商店街Passage Pommeraye成為旅遊景點。
說回《男歡女愛》,構圖和對白都令人想起王家衛的《花樣年華》——「不好意思,請問還有空房嗎?」其實,王家衛就是盡數吸收了法國新浪潮的美感和情懷,所以歐洲人和日本人就比香港人更早擁抱他的作品。法國電影也是時尚世界的永恆參考來源。最近CHANEL舵手Virginie Viard就邀請了Inez & Vinoodh執導,西班牙女星兼品牌大使彭妮露古絲(Penélope Cruz)與畢彼特(Brad Pitt)扮演安諾艾美與杜寧南(Jean-Louis Trintignant)再現 《男歡女愛》的浪漫場面。無巧不成話,連電影發生的場景也是Gabrielle Chanel當年首間店鋪和首發高訂的根 據地Deauville海濱度假區。
除了氣度不凡和風情萬種的兩位巨星,經典永恆的11.12 手袋也成為廣告影片中的主角,在男女主角意亂情迷跳愛情探戈之時,仍然十分搶眼——能夠花天文數字請得動男神女神拍廣告不難,但像CHANEL這樣有品味有心思地傳承文化兼宣揚優雅品味,除了拜服還是拜服。
