As Cannes Film Festival closes, which are the acclaimed films from this year's crop that could being heading for Academy Award nominations?

随着戛纳电影节闭幕,今年这一批广受好评的影片中,哪些可能会冲击奥斯卡提名?

If you want to known which films are going to be nominated for Oscars, it's worth looking at what premiered at the Cannes Film Festival the previous May.

如果你想知道哪些电影会获得奥斯卡提名,看看前一年5月在戛纳电影节首映的作品是很值得的。

Last year's Cannes batch included Sentimental Value and The Secret Agent.

去年的戛纳片单包括《情感价值》和《秘密特工》。

The year before, there was The Substance, Emilia Pérez and Anora.

再前一年,则有《某种物质》、《艾米莉亚·佩雷斯》和《阿诺拉》。

Now that another Cannes has drawn to a close, it could be said that awards season has already begun.

既然又一届戛纳电影节已经落下帷幕,可以说颁奖季已经开始了。

Here are the films most likely to become Oscar contenders.

以下是最有可能成为奥斯卡竞争者的影片。

Fjord was the winner of Cannes' top prize, the Palme d'Or, despite receiving what can be politely described as mixed reviews.

《Fjord》赢得了戛纳最高奖金棕榈奖,尽管它收获了可以委婉称为褒贬不一的评价。

But even though it wasn't a critics' darling, Cristian Mungiu's enthralling drama revolves around the hottest of hot topics.

不过,尽管它并非影评人的宠儿,克里斯蒂安·蒙吉这部引人入胜的剧情片却围绕着最热门中的热门话题展开。

Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve star as an evangelical couple who move from Romania to Norway, and are accused of child abuse because they slap their children to discipline them.

塞巴斯蒂安·斯坦和雷娜特·赖因斯夫饰演一对福音派夫妇,他们从罗马尼亚搬到挪威,却因为打孩子来管教他们而被指控虐待儿童。

The film becomes a debate between Christianity and secularism, conservative tradition and progressive liberalism.

这部电影变成了一场关于基督教与世俗主义、保守传统与进步自由主义之间的辩论。

It's certain to get Academy members talking – and voting.

它肯定会让学院成员议论纷纷,并投下选票。

There were hardly any American films at Cannes this year, but one of them was a clear festival highlight.

今年戛纳几乎没有美国电影参展,但其中一部显然成了电影节的亮点。

Written and directed by its star, Jordan Firstman (I Love LA), Club Kid tells the riotous story of a party animal whose life is upended when he is presented with the 10-year-old son (Reggie Absolom) he never knew he'd fathered.

《Club Kid》由其主演乔丹·菲斯特曼(《I Love LA》)编剧并执导,讲述了一个派对狂人的喧闹故事:当一个他从不知道自己有过的10岁儿子(雷吉·阿布索洛姆)突然出现在他面前时,他的生活被彻底打乱。

The film has been called this year's answer to Anora, and with good reason.

有人把这部电影称作今年的《阿诺拉》,这并非没有道理。

Not only does it hasn't the same producer, Alex Coco, it's a rollicking, New York-set indie comedy that bursts with raunchiness and caustic wit, but which is big-hearted, too.

它不仅有同一位制片人亚历克斯·科科,还是一部以纽约为背景、热闹欢腾的独立喜剧,充满粗俗笑料和尖刻机智,同时也很有温情。

It won't win the best picture Oscar, as Anora did, but it might be in the running.

它不会像《阿诺拉》那样赢得奥斯卡最佳影片奖,但或许会进入竞争行列。

With its sweeping scale and lavish period detail, wrenching emotion and literary cleverness, this Spanish saga ticks numerous Oscar boxes.

凭借恢宏的规模、奢华的时代细节、令人揪心的情感和文学上的巧思,这部西班牙传奇片满足了许多奥斯卡偏好的条件。

Directed by Javier Calvi and Javier Ambrossi (aka Los Javis), La Bola Negra cuts between three different narratives, two in the 1930s and one in 2017, as it examines how gay relationships have been erased from history in Spain.

《La Bola Negra》由哈维尔·卡尔维和哈维尔·安布罗西(又名 Los Javis)执导,在三个不同叙事之间切换,其中两个发生在20世纪30年代,一个发生在2017年,并借此审视西班牙历史中同性恋关系如何被抹去。

The wartime scenes are reminiscent of The English Patient and Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and the memorable cameos by Penélope Cruz (as a music-hall bombshell) and Glenn Close (as a pioneering academic) will ensure that Hollywood takes notice.

片中的战时场景令人想起《英国病人》和《柯莱利上尉的曼陀林》,而佩内洛普·克鲁兹(饰演一位音乐厅性感女星)和格伦·克洛斯(饰演一位开创性的学者)令人难忘的客串,也必将让好莱坞注意到这部影片。

Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car (2021) won the best international feature film Oscar in 2022, and it was nominated for best picture.

滨口龙介的《驾驶我的车》(2021)在2022年获得奥斯卡最佳国际影片奖,并获得最佳影片提名。

Hamaguchi's deeply humane and tender new drama could doesn't almost as well.

滨口龙介这部深具人文关怀且温柔动人的新剧情片,几乎也可能取得同样好的成绩。

Most of it is set in Paris, where Virginia Efira, the dedicated director of a nursing home, meets Tao Okamoto, a Japanese playwright who has terminal cancer.

影片大部分情节发生在巴黎,在那里,弗吉妮·埃菲拉饰演一位敬业的养老院院长,她遇见了患有癌症晚期的日本剧作家冈本多绪。

All of a Sudden is three-and-a-quarter hours long, including a half-hour lecture on the demographic effects of capitalism, so it's a challenging prospect.

《突如其来》片长三小时十五分钟,其中还包括一段半小时关于资本主义人口影响的讲座,因此它是一部颇具挑战的作品。

But viewers who will stick with it will be sobbing by the end.

但愿意坚持看下去的观众,到结尾时会哭得泣不成声。

Rami Malek hasn't given awards voters much to focus on since he won his Oscar for Bohemian Rhapsody in 2019, but The Man I Love is a welcome showcase for his talents.

自2019年凭《波希米亚狂想曲》赢得奥斯卡以来,拉米·马雷克一直没有给奖项投票者太多可关注的表现,但《The Man I Love》令人欣喜地展示了他的才华。

In fact, it has a slight resemblance to Bohemian Rhapsody, in that Malek plays a struttingly charismatic gay singer who has Aids, but his character, Jimmy George, is a long way from being a stadium-conquering superstar.

事实上,它和《波西米亚狂想曲》有些相似,因为马雷克饰演的是一位步态张扬、魅力十足且患有艾滋病的同性恋歌手;但他的角色吉米·乔治远不是那种能征服体育场级观众的超级巨星。

In Ira Sachs'' soulful indie drama, Jimmy is part of a group of friends putting on an off-Broadway show in late 1980s New York.

在艾拉·萨克斯这部深情的独立剧情片中,吉米是一群朋友中的一员,他们在20世纪80年代末的纽约排演一出外百老汇演出。

Audiences will be choked up by his vulnerability, as his supportive partner (Tom Sturridge) and loving sister (Rebecca Hall) realise that this could be his final moment in the spotlight.

观众会因他的脆弱而哽咽动容,因为支持他的伴侣汤姆·斯特里奇和深爱他的姐姐丽贝卡·豪尔意识到,这可能是他最后一次站在聚光灯下。

Emmanuel Marre's superbly shrewd drama is a biopic of his own great grandfather, Henri Marre (Swann Arlaut).

埃马纽埃尔·马尔这部极其敏锐出色的剧情片,是一部关于他自己的曾祖父亨利·马尔(斯万·阿尔洛)的传记片。

After German forces conquer France in World War Two, the ambitious Henri keeps knocking on doors until he gets a bureaucratic job in Marshall Pétain's Vichy regime.

二战中德军占领法国后,野心勃勃的亨利不断四处求门路,直到在贝当元帅的维希政权中谋得一份官僚职位。

He sees himself as a patriot who can rebuild France with his modern management theories.

他把自己视为一名爱国者,相信自己能用现代管理理论重建法国。

The fact that he is collaborating with the Nazis and helping to send Jewish citizens to their deaths doesn't seem to interest him.

他与纳粹合作,并帮忙把犹太公民送上死路,这一事实似乎并不能引起他的兴趣。

Naturalistic performances, intimate camerawork and bursts of 1980s music all help to make the point that the most abhorrent dictatorships can be propped up by the most ordinary people.

自然主义的表演、贴近人物的摄影手法,以及不时响起的20世纪80年代音乐,都共同表明一个观点:最可憎的独裁政权也可能由最普通的人支撑起来。

• How Fjord became Cannes' most divisive film

• 《Fjord》如何成为戛纳最引发分歧的电影

The Academy has a soft spot for films about film-making, and The Beloved is one of the finest examples of that particular sub-genre.

学院奖一向偏爱关于电影制作的电影,而《The Beloved》正是这一特定子类型中最出色的范例之一。

Javier Bardem is on career-best form as a prestigious director who hires his own daughter (Victoria Luengo) to star in his historical epic, Desert.

哈维尔·巴登以职业生涯最佳状态出演一位声望卓著的导演,他聘请自己的女儿(维多利亚·卢恩戈饰)主演他的历史史诗片《沙漠》。

She is grateful for the opportunity, but once they're shooting on location, she learns that he is just as short-tempered with her as he is with the rest of the cast.

她很感激这个机会,但等到他们开始外景拍摄时,她发现他对她和对其他演员一样脾气暴躁。

There are echoes of Sentimental Value in the father-daughter dynamic, but Bardem's fiery, unapologetic director is a unique and Oscar-worthy creation.

这对父女关系让人联想到《情感价值》,但巴登饰演的这位火爆、毫不妥协的导演,是一个独特且具备奥斯卡水准的角色塑造。

László Nemes is known for Son of Saul, winner of the best foreign language film in 2016.

拉斯洛·奈迈什以《索尔之子》闻名,该片是2016年奥斯卡最佳外语片得主。

And the Hungarian writer-director's new film is another gruelling, atmospheric chronicle of World War Two.

这位匈牙利编剧兼导演的新片,又是一部艰涩沉重、氛围浓厚的二战编年史。

It's based on the true story of Jean Moulin (Gille Lelouche), a French Resistance leader who is arrested in Lyon and interrogated by a loathsome Gestapo commander, Klaus Barbie (Lars Eidinger).

影片取材于让·穆兰(吉尔·勒卢什饰)的真实故事;他是法国抵抗运动领袖,在里昂被捕,并遭到令人憎恶的盖世太保指挥官克劳斯·巴比(拉斯·艾丁格饰)审讯。

With two stunning central performances, Moulin is a noirish espionage thriller, a sombre study of pure evil, and a quietly powerful tribute to remarkable heroism.

凭借两位主演惊艳的核心表演,《穆兰》既是一部黑色电影风格的间谍惊悚片,也是一部对纯粹邪恶的阴郁审视,更是一曲安静而有力地献给非凡英雄主义的赞歌。

It's not an easy watch, but it's an essential one.

这部片看起来并不轻松,却是一部不可或缺的作品。

Two of Andrey Zvyagintsev's previous films have been Oscar-nominated, but neither of them was as gripping or as accessible as Minotaur.

安德烈·兹维亚金采夫此前有两部电影获得过奥斯卡提名,但它们都不如《弥诺陶洛斯》这般扣人心弦、平易近人。

A remake of Claude Chabrol's The Unfaithful Wife (1969), which has already been remade in the US as Unfaithful (2002), it's a Hitchcockian crime thriller about a businessman (Dmitriy Mazurov) who discovers that his wife (Iris Lebedeva) is having an affair.

这部片翻拍自克洛德·夏布洛尔的《不忠的妻子》(1969),该片此前已在美国被翻拍为《不忠》(2002);它是一部希区柯克式犯罪惊悚片,讲述一名商人(德米特里·马祖罗夫饰)发现妻子(伊丽丝·列别杰娃饰)有了外遇。

And on that level, it's a triumph: tense, richly characterised, and deliciously dark.

从这个层面来说,它是一场胜利:紧张刺激,人物刻画丰富,而且黑暗得很有味道。

But Zvyagintsev adds a sharp political element by shifting the story to a Russian city.

但兹维亚金采夫通过把故事转移到一座俄罗斯城市,为影片加入了尖锐的政治元素。

The husband in his film is an oligarch who enjoys a life of luxury, while his employees are sent to fight in Ukraine.

他片中的丈夫是一名寡头,享受着奢华生活,而他的员工却被送去乌克兰作战。
