“ Allenv。Farrow”涉及一个七岁的女孩发生了什么,她决定在数十年后谈论它。迪伦·法罗(Dylan Farrow)一开始说:“我花了很长时间才能调和你可以爱一个人并害怕他们。”年。但这是她的故事,也是她母亲的故事米娅·法罗(Mia Farrow)迪伦(Dylan)的生物和兄弟姐妹家族家族不是通过媒体战争的过滤器来讲述的。取而代之的是,这是一个彻底的调查和善解人意的观点,它收集了许多第一人称账户,将案件的演变作为不平衡的公众丑闻进行了回顾,并教育观众关于虐待生活的真实经历。这是这个可怕的好莱坞传奇所需要的广泛分析的确切类型,我敦促那些相信和不相信故事的Farrows一面观看的人。
该事件有据可查且尚未解决:1992年8月,伍迪·艾伦据称,他的女儿迪伦·法罗(Dylan Farrow)在康涅狄格州的家中进行了性虐待。但是,鉴于迪伦(Dylan)很少公开谈论此事,直到最近几年,艾伦(Allen)作为好莱坞最著名的董事之一已经占据了重点,因此个人角度鲜为人知。四部分的纪录片“ Allenv。Farrow”像以前的无畏HBO纪录片“离开梦幻岛,“ 关于迈克尔杰克逊据称虐待多个孩子;这是对我们著名创作者的诚实行为缓慢发展的良心的另一个主要补充。它寻求答案,在此过程中,它最终抹黑了艾伦(Allen)的大量方面,同时为法罗(Farrow)提供了她以前从未有过的平台。
纪录片由柯比·迪克(Kirby Dick)和艾米·齐耶(Amy Ziering),他们在为受害者提供坚定不移的调查的同时,以有关虐待的具体统计数据向公众告知受害者。以前的电影,例如迪克的狩猎场”(关于大学校园的强奸)和迪克&Ziering的“在记录中”(关于嘻哈行业的虐待)导致了迪克和齐兴至今,研究了公共话语中最臭名昭著的虐待案件之一。这些纪录片(将于2月22日开始每周首映)证明了他们的社论敏锐性,以及他们对受害者在相机上的勇气的忠诚如何始终帮助我们看到某些文化实体中更诚实的权力动态。
The first episode alone is damning enough to Allen’s character, establishing a pattern of inappropriate behavior he had with his young daughter Dylan—family friends and Farrow herself recall how he would steal her away from family time, and then there would be strange moments like allegedly seeing him make her suck his thumb while sitting on the front porch steps, or laying in bed with her, with Allen dressed down to his underwear. (“I was always in his clutches,” recalls Dylan. “He was always hunting me.”) Such disturbing ideas are within the framing of an otherwise harmonious home, and the documentary initially communicates this using a personal lens—it’s more about talking head interviews depicting the family life that Mia Farrow and Woody Allen had as girlfriend and boyfriend creating a home with children, many of them adopted by Farrow. In previously unseen home footage, Farrow has never appeared more removed from her chameleon-like screen-presence. Alternately, images of Allen's "intense affection" for Dylan—pictures from family photo albums that have literally cut him out—show Allen in a candid light that has never been more concerning.
In its second half, "Allen v. Farrow" interrogates the culture that believed—or wanted to believe—Allen’s side of the story, while accepting Farrow as a girlfriend and mother scorned after Allen left the relationship to be with Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn.在调查中间发生的监护权之战,艾伦(Allen)报仇寻求迪伦(Dylan)和儿子萨奇尔(Son Satchel)(现在称为罗南)的监护权,这是另一个令人毛骨悚然的发展。该系列在大多数情况下从一个大章到另一个大章时都集中在其上,其影响源于积累 - 在同一叙述中看到所有这些事态发展,这使人们对公众的正义感如何歪曲了一种更丰富的感觉,仍然可以。
这部纪录片如何平衡Farrows的个人经历,同时考虑到公众方面,这是非常敏锐的。它知道,许多观众将以对艾伦的电影的热爱来加入其中,并为他们提供诚实但没有影响的分析,对他的年轻人和老年浪漫电影的意思是什么,同时承认“好艺术,不良行为”的论点。And its investigation is prepared for the deniers and devil’s advocates, covering many angles—the narrative that Dylan was coached by Mia, or the more recent statement from Farrow sibling Moses that can be disproven with the original court testimony, or the report that initially “cleared” Allen, despite it not having the authority to do so. It is incredibly comprehensive across its four-plus hours without being repetitive, and like previous Dick & Ziering documentaries, it is ready for a fight.
如果您想听听艾伦(Allen)故事的一面,请参考媒体在展开时如何谈论它。但是,尽管艾伦没有出现在纪录片中(他否认接受采访的要求),但他听到了,他去年,他为回忆录录制了一张有声读物一无所有,这一系列因素在他与Farrow,孩子们的关系以及对事件的回忆中的某些章节中所取代。艾伦(Allen)的一个更令人不安的版本出现在录音带中,他的斗气性,单调的声音同时使防御性的防御性狂热特别令人不安和讲述的奇观。有明确的操纵模式,而这部电影则以他作为公众人物的忠诚度,很清楚如何交替摇摆观众并控制最接近他的观众。对于我们自恋与他浪漫的半自传电影之间联系在一起的所有点,我们都知道,它证实了我们无法声称知道他的行为如此之多。他的职业生涯教会我们将他视为相对较小的人,但是这部纪录片从他所呈现的世界中退后一步,表明他可以选择成为精英明星多么巨大和无耻。
“ Allenv。Farrow”与Farrows的一面权衡了所有这些,描绘了一个更普遍的故事,讲述了无数的家庭故事,遭受了虐待情节。他们的传奇是以自己的方式对其进行满意的传奇。在艾伦(Allen)成功地抹黑了她作为母亲的信誉时,尽管她对孩子们的奉献精神,但他的想法更多。要了解Farrow兄弟姐妹在当时如何使用无线电沉默来处理它。That Dylan’s brother Ronan would go from not wanting to ask her about it for years, and then to publicly supporting his sister, and then countless others with his own explosive investigative journalism, is a beautiful example of the vital support that can come from being a listener. The series' footage of Dylan in modern times, detailing her thoughts as a young girl and then teenager coming to terms with an event she knows to be 100% true, exemplifies the power in someone finally being heard.
“ Allenv。Farrow”中的每个人都比我们以前知道的更多,无论他们是否在相机上度过了一生。在它的许多成功中,它占了上风,使您不再将其视为被著名的电影制作掩埋的好莱坞丑闻,而是作为一个因父亲的选择而受创伤的美国家庭的挣扎故事,并被不可思议的勇气所束缚;一个揭示出深深恐怖或英勇的行为的传奇,总是基于一个人选择对待另一个人的方式。尽管这部纪录片的未来头条新闻可能会说,但“艾伦诉法罗”没有什么特别的爆发力,如此深刻地人性化。
2月22日(星期日)在HBO上首映,每周有新的一集。
