12. 'Love and Friendship'
《愛情與友誼》

Maybe because it opened way back in May, Whit Stillman's elegantly barbed take on Jane Austen's 1794 novella is being forgotten in the year-end prize-giving season. Wake up, people. Kate Beckinsale gives one of the year's best performances as a widow forced to use everything – sex, thievery, betrayal, you name it – to stay independent in a man's world. And Academy voters are hereby advised not to forget the pricelessly funny Tom Bennett as a wealthy idiot who blathers on about peas and what he calls "the 12 Commandments."
惠特?斯蒂爾曼的這部電影是根據(jù)簡?奧斯汀1794年的中篇小說精心改編的，也許是因?yàn)榻衲?月份就上映了，電影在年終頒獎(jiǎng)季被人們所遺忘。醒醒吧人類！凱特?貝金賽爾在影片中的表現(xiàn)可能是今年最出色的表演之一，她扮演一名寡婦，不擇一切手段，用性、盜竊、背叛在男權(quán)世界中保持獨(dú)立。特此提醒奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)的投票人，不要忘記湯姆?班尼特幽默出眾的表演，他在影片中扮演一個(gè)富有的蠢貨，整天喋喋不休地談?wù)撍撬^的“12誡律”。

網(wǎng)友評(píng)價(jià)：

惘然：十分有趣，這部電影名叫《愛情與友誼》，但哪里有愛情和友誼？有的只是自私的算計(jì)，步步為營的圈套，以及相互利用。

小小蟲：輕松的英式小品，每一幀的畫面，每一刀的剪輯都在炫耀著機(jī)智。
