李琳琳😺🧸電影《從今以後》柏林影展奪泰迪熊獎

#Teddyaward 評語：“A film that depicts both joyful family moments and the difficulties in different relationships. Every hardship matters, and in the end, what matters are the memories and love that remain.”
泰迪熊獎是柏林影展專門為反映LGBT題材的電影所設的一個獎項，《從今以後》奪獎首先意味著電影成功塑造了令人信服的LGBT人物形象。MoviesWe TextedAbout影評網站撰寫了一篇有血有肉的映後review(含劇透)。片中的兩名女角色原本是工廠工友，繼而自己經營了一間製衣廠(現實應早已搬至大灣區、又再轉去越南🤭)。從預告片可見，本片室內佈景具有浪漫隱秘的東方情調(尤其對於歐洲觀眾)，攝影師鏡頭中也不乏玻璃幕墻的現代都市建築。本片延續了是枝裕和電影對非血緣家人關係的探討，並可能拓展更多。除上述表面可見的設定之外，更重要的是電影本身真正打動觀眾。很期待該片正式上映。

此前導演楊曜愷(Ray Yeung)亦有接受南華早報訪問，詳述琳琳為何接拍該片:
Intriguingly, one of the selling points of All Shall Be Well is the fact Yeung cast Maggie Li Lin-lin to play Pat. The Chinese star was well known in the 1960s and 1970s for her work in films distributed by the Cathay Organisation.
“She said, ‘I actually have a lot of offers but everybody asks me to play a character’s mother or character’s grandmother. And I don’t have my own story. So I wasn’t really interested. But first of all, I’ve never played a lesbian before, and second, I’m an individual here. I’m not someone’s mother, or something. So for me that is very interesting.”
今次演出有何不同？導演希望她改變講對白的方式，有更多懶音、以迎合當前的生活化潮流:
“She was from that generation where everything had to be pronounced very clearly. Every word had to be very sharp. I wanted it to be very daily … so one of the things that I have to help her to do is to speak in a very lazy fashion, so the words aren’t pronounced so well.”
雖然明星卡士具有號召力，但選角動機並非一般明星效應，而是因為Pat本身被設定為一個始終牽動觀眾心弦的角色:
While Yeung acknowledges that Hong Kong audiences “of a certain generation” will be intrigued to see her return, it’s more than just stunt casting.
“I think it’s important to have a character that resonates all through the movie because although she passed away in the film, everybody talks about her and what she did. So she has to linger, her ghost, throughout the film.” Casting someone recognisable who hadn’t been seen for years, he feels, was the perfect way to do this.
