CHARLES WHITE – A RETROSPECTIVE (个展)

The Projections sidebar of the 2018 New York Film Festival – home of a variety of works grouped together under the experimental/avant-garde banner – is perhaps not the first place that one would go in search of star performances in the traditional sense, but then this year’s opening night film, Gabriel Abrantes and Daniel Schmidt’s Diamantino (2018) is nothing if not an outlier. A populist underground film doing blockbuster scale on a budget, it gives Carloto Cotta, in the title role, as good a comic role as any actor has had this year. He plays a dull-minded, chisel-chested Portuguese footballer with a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque sartorial sensewhose grinning guilelessness makes him an easy manipulated mark for a right-wing junta bent on pulling off a mad science scheme that will lead to the country’s exit from the EU.     – 2018年纽约电影节的《放映》侧栏——各种作品汇集在一起，打着实验/前卫的旗号——也许不是人们在传统意义上寻找明星表演的第一站，但是今年的首个夜场却开始了。M，Gabriel Abrantes和Daniel Schmidt的Diamantino Diamantino（2018）不是孤立点。这是一部在预算上制作大片的民粹主义地下电影，它让卡洛托·科塔在片名中扮演了与今年任何演员一样好的喜剧角色。他饰演一位头脑迟钝、胸膛尖刻的葡萄牙足球运动员，有着克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多式的裁缝感，露齿而笑的朴实无华使他成为右翼军政府容易操纵的标志，而右翼军政府一心想搞出一个疯狂的科学计划，导致葡萄牙退出欧盟。γ
