2024 ACF AND Fund RecipientComing of AgeTrue StoryWomen
夜晚的城市街头,一个卷起运动裤裤腿、光着脚的少女点燃一支烟叼在嘴里,然后接通了保护观察所的语音监控系统。“四、五、六、七,四、五、六、七……”她大声复述着系统要求的毫无意义的数字。她的脸始终没有出现在画面中,我们却几乎能看见她的表情。《破茧之声》的开场一下子就抓住了我们的注意力。三名少女因离家出走、偷窃、自残和吸烟等不良行为,被昌原地方法院少年部处以第 1 号保护处分,入住青少年庇护所 House of Rothem,影片跟随着她们。女孩们坦言,她们最害怕被抛弃;她们伤害自己,是因为讨厌自己成为“一切都是弱点”的人;她们只是想要“喘口气”。执导过《Planet of Snail》和《In the Absence》的 Yi Seungjun 既不采访女孩们,也不加入画外音旁白。事实上,他甚至没有以能辨认出她们面孔的方式拍摄。影片的奥秘在别处。这些各自孤身站在世界边缘的女孩,是如何让镜头如此贴近她们的?这部关于残酷青春岁月的纪录片,邀请我们走进一个人人都曾经历、却无人真正了解的世界。
