在这部穆兰诺的游魂纪录片片中,波兰华沙的穆兰诺区在二战前是热闹繁华的犹太人中心,二战时被德国人改为“华沙犹太区”,即欧洲最大的犹太人聚居区,以色列导演岑·舍拉走访当地居民,听他们追述华沙犹太区遭摧毁和屠戮的史实,诉说在这片从废墟和坟地上重建起来的生活体验。而有关幽灵出没的灵异事件,更引来痴迷者用影像形式还原二战前穆兰诺地区的人与景。本片荣获2020年耶路撒冷电影节最佳纪录片钻石奖提名。
The Muranow neighborhood in Warsaw was once a flourishing and important center of Jewish life. During World War II the neighborhood was turned into the Warsaw Ghetto. When the war ended, the neighborhood was rebuilt with the rubble of its own destruction. Today, thousands of Poles live in the green and spacious Muranow, yet its' dark past keeps haunting it. Polish residents claim that Jewish ghosts live in the neighborhood. At night they shake off the dust and ashes that cover them, and wander the streets they once lived in. Other residents think the ghosts are a metaphor for the life, culture, and memories of the Jewish people buried beneath the ground.
不能逃避,正视历史才是正解。叙事有待精炼,但素材不错。
