托尼 Toni

Jean Renoir 尚．雷諾瓦 | B&W | DCP | 1935 | 法語 French | 100 mins

托尼與其他三位義大利裔的朋友共同來到法國南部的礦場小鎮謀生，房東瑪麗先是愛上了他，但他卻更迷戀洗衣女工約瑟弗。美麗的約瑟弗周旋於小鎮裡的男人之間，卻仍不得向權勢低頭，嫁給了她一點也不愛的工頭。退而求其次的托尼娶了瑪麗，卻從未忘懷初見時令他動心的女人。

以社會新聞事件改編而成的愛情故事，依警長所提供的原型，邀請當地居民們擔任群眾演員，原地實景拍攝。導演以底層人物為主角，那些為了生活來到陌生異地的移工們，乘著路途漫長的火車吟唱歌謠，時而歡樂抒情、時而悲傷鬱悶。有如那軌道上日行的火車從未有盡頭，來了又走了，穿梭於情感愛恨的虛無終究敵不過現實的殘酷。火車、鄉村、勞工與自然風景中的悲劇，更可見得對義大利新寫實主義之影響。

Toni moves from Italy to Southern France to work on a farm. There, he lives with Marie, a local French woman who becomes his lover. But when Josepha, a Spanish migrant arrives, Toni falls for her. However, she is in love with the wealthy Albert.

Renoir crafted this naturalistic melodrama of love and murder from a real-life tragic romance. Set in a rustic landscape populated by immigrant workers and the poor, he brings his left-leaning political concerns to a story mired in Europe’s own Great Depression. The director engages social and political themes using documentary realism. Using non-professional actors, free of make-up, and natural lighting shot on location, this film especially, marks Renoir out as a precursor to the Italian Neorealist Movement of the 1940s and 50s.
