2020年豆瓣评分最高的五部BBC推荐电影

Soul 《心灵奇旅》

In the first Pixar cartoon to have an African-American lead character, Jamie Foxx provides the voice of a music teacher who dreams of making it as a jazz pianist in New York. But just after a successful audition, he falls down a manhole, and finds himself in an astral realm where human spirits are assigned their personalities. And things get even more surreal from there.

《心灵奇旅》是第一部主角为非裔美国人的皮克斯动画电影，杰米·福克斯在本片中为一名梦想在纽约成为爵士乐钢琴家的音乐老师配音。但就在一次成功的面试后，他掉进了一个下水道，醒来后发现自己来到了一个灵魂世界，在这里人类灵魂都拥有自己的个性。自那以后事情就变得越发离奇。

Nomadland 《无依之地》

When Fern (Frances McDormand) is widowed, she can’t afford to live in a house of her own, so she packs her few belongings into a camper van, and drives off into the Nevada desert. She soon discovers that she isn’t alone: there is a large community of senior citizens who have been forced to live on the road, supporting themselves with short-term jobs along the way. What makes Nomadland unique is that while Fern is played by an Oscar-winning actress, nearly all of the people she meets are real nomads who recount their own experiences. Written and directed by Chloe Zhao (The Rider), the film is a “hybrid of documentary and fiction”.

费恩（弗兰西斯·麦克多蒙德饰演）失去丈夫后，她住不起自己的房子，于是就收拾了仅有的一点个人物品放在露营车上，开车去了内华达沙漠。她很快便发现，自己不是一个人：这里居住着一大群老年人，他们被迫住在公路上，靠着沿途做点短期工作来糊口。这部电影的独特之处在于，尽管费恩的扮演者是获得奥斯卡奖的女演员，但费恩在路上所遇到的几乎所有人都是真正的流浪者，他们只是在讲述自己的亲身经历。这部电影由赵婷（曾执导过《骑士》）担任编剧和导演，是一部“纪实和虚构相混合的影片”。

Wolfwalkers 《狼行者》

The year’s finest animated film doesn’t come from Dreamworks or Pixar, but from Cartoon Saloon, an Irish studio specialising in Celtic folklore and stylised hand-drawn 2D art. Their latest rousing fairy tale is set in the mid 17th-Century, when English soldiers are trying to tame the wild woods near Kilkenny. One hunter’s daughter learns that there aren’t just wolves in the forest, but “wolfwalkers” who can change into wolves at night. Richard Whittaker in the Austin Chronicle praises “a heartwarming story of family and friendship, a family-friendly examination of the horror of repression, a bracing adventure about two girls finding themselves, and a stealth art history lesson… Wolfwalkers stands proud as a new classic.”

今年最杰出的动画电影不是出自梦工厂，也不是出自皮克斯，而是出自卡通沙龙动画工作室。这家爱尔兰电影工作室专注于凯尔特民间传说和风格化的手绘平面艺术。他们的这部新片讲述了发生在17世纪中叶的一个激动人心的神话故事，故事里英格兰士兵正试图攻占基尔肯尼附近的一片原始森林。一位猎人的女儿知道森林里不仅有狼，还有夜里会变成狼的“狼行者”。《奥斯汀编年史》的理查德·惠特克称赞该片是“一个关于家庭和友情的暖心故事，从家庭角度对恐怖压迫的审视，关于两个小女孩寻找自我的令人振奋的冒险，以及一堂润物细无声的艺术史课……《狼行者》是当之无愧的新经典。”

The Croods: A New Age 《疯狂原始人2：新纪元》

The prehistoric family from 2013’s hugely enjoyable cartoon, The Croods, makes a welcome return, so we can expect more frenetic adventures, bizarre hybrid animals, and endearing vocal work by such well-cast actors as Nicolas Cage, Catherine Keener, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds. In the much-delayed sequel, they meet another family, the Bettermans (voiced by Peter Dinklage, Leslie Mann and Kelly Marie Tran), whose advanced lifestyle and technology makes the Croods look even more primitive than they did already. “The Croods lead with their heart, and the Bettermans lead with their brain,” says Joel Crawford, the film’s director. “Of course, there’s conflict, they face challenges, but they learn to appreciate each other’s differences. There’s a lot of wonderful, powerful themes. But it’s a ridiculous comedy too.”

2013年的超欢乐动画《疯狂原始人》中的史前家庭即将在万众期待中回归，我们有望看到更疯狂的冒险、古怪的杂交动物，听到尼古拉斯·凯奇、凯瑟琳·基纳、艾玛·斯通和瑞恩·雷诺兹等杰出演员的可爱配音。在这部姗姗来迟的续集中，这家人遇到了另一个家庭——贝特曼斯一家（由彼特·丁拉基、莱斯利·曼恩和凯莉·玛丽·陈配音）。这家人先进的生活方式和技术使得本就原始的克鲁兹一家显得更加原始。该片的导演乔尔·克劳福德表示：“克鲁兹一家是用心去生活，贝特曼斯一家是用大脑去生活。当然，冲突是存在的，他们也面临挑战，但他们学会欣赏彼此的不同。电影中有很多奇妙、有力的主题。但这也是一部荒诞的喜剧片。”

Tenet《信条》

If any film is going to tempt crowds back to cinemas, it’s Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, a brain-frying science-fiction blockbuster with a high concept and a higher budget. John David Washington stars as a secret agent who learns about mysterious weapons that move backwards through time, and then dashes off on a mission to find the man responsible, a sadistic Ukrainian arms dealer played by Kenneth Branagh. Tenet is a Bond movie that squeezes Back to the Future 2 and Edge of Tomorrow into its last act. After six months with almost no new films in cinemas, it’s good to see a film so crammed with exotic locations, snazzy costumes, shoot-outs and explosions that you get six months’ worth of entertainment in two and a half hours.

如果说有哪部电影可以吸引大众回归影院，那就是克里斯多夫·诺兰的《信条》，这是一部成本超高的高概念烧脑科幻大片。约翰·大卫·华盛顿在片中饰演一位特工，他得知可以令时间倒流的秘密武器后，就火速开始了寻找罪魁祸首的任务，后者是肯尼思·布莱纳格饰演的一名残酷成性的乌克兰军火商。《信条》本质上是一部007电影，结局是《回到未来2》和《明日边缘》的集合体。在经历了几乎没有新片上映的六个月后，能看到一部充满异国风情、新潮服饰、枪战和爆炸场面的电影真是棒极了，在两个半小时内就过足了六个月的瘾。
