《封锁》是2006年的一部纪录片。由谢尔盖·洛兹尼察精心打造的,电影封锁,又名Блокада、Blokada。The Siege of Leningrad which endured a little short of 900 days and nights under the Nazi blockade during World War Two has long been of interest to me. I have viewed extensive footage over the years and was greatly looking forward to seeing this 'new approach with never-before seen archival footage'. This is how it was billed at the 2007 Sydney Film Festival. While it may be true that this actual camera footage may not have been shown before, the subject of the shots are not new. Nevertheless, the power of the film lies in its minimalist ambient approach. No Narrator telling you what the film-maker wants you to know. No dramatic music to overlay the images. One could say that the greatest technical contribution came from the Foley artists and their effective application of natural effects. Furthermore, the long lasting shots with very little editor's intrusion, capture the tedium of everyday survival. This is a true Socialist film in that it gives centre stage to the 'common people' going about their daily lives in degenerating circumstances. The great disappointment for me is its brief length of 52 minutes covering only four seasons, and not the ten seasons of the siege. Sadly, this worthy film, with its style exemplifying minimalism and UNsensationalism at its best, shot itself in the foot by not following through with the full magnitude of the event, and pulled its punches by excluding certain horrendous aspects committed by some of the starving citizens. The film-maker's 'distant' approach assumed the viewer's familiarity with the subject . Those of us who are familiar with the subject felt short-changed. Those not familiar were confused. But still worth seeing.

Q影誌 说:Barrage balloon!/1941.9.8-1944.1.27,872日封城,片中只有一个四季。Loznitsa曾在莫斯科就读的VGIK的前辈Márta Mészáros在自传电影《留给吾爱的日记》中:放映完她拍摄的(“不正确的”)现实主义纪录片后,老师说“but a director needs to see more than reality. You need to create a new reality.”Loznitsa关注的主题之一是苏联历史,他说过去“is a reality...They(俄罗斯)always rewrite history.”/影片中冬天突然降临时很震撼,使得本片可以作为《A Siege Diary》(2020)的Vorfilm,二者对个体与群像给予了不同的关照。本片(如他很多其它纪录片)注重群像,开头和结尾两次审判及胜利后礼炮的围观、冬天街头等不吝展现Massen,又恰当插入特写,尤其妇女儿童和尸体,虽没有主角,但依然可以感受到每一条鲜活的生命。
冷肉 说:还是导演一贯的纪录片风格,镜头记录的是一些看似无意义的片段,用摄像机来替代人眼捕捉日常生活的每一个不经意的视野。 但是这次的题目着实有些大了,列宁格勒保卫战如此庞大的题目被压缩到不足1小时的影片中,导演需要进行大量的素材筛选,这种选择出来的结果或多或少带有更强的主观性,也就更像电影眼派的纪录片中对于蒙太奇的使用。 另外,非常好奇这些素材的拍摄者是谁,并且打心眼里感谢拍摄者,第一次有对战争这么直观的感受。
Soyikuba 说:冷峻得如同影像中的寒冬,不带丝毫感情,只是竭力如机械般组接各处的素材罢了。真实的纪实,几乎看不出导演的立场,这种硬生生地呈现难能可贵,但是将漫长的封锁压缩在不到一小时的时间里,肯定伴随了导演的某种倾向与选择,但又和影像中“燕过了无痕”的意志相违抗,属实是一种奇妙的体验了。至于战争所创的众生,皆为刍狗而各有命,生存与死亡并置随机,悲悯与哀思是回望历史的通径。
