Rachel Weisz Is in Bloom

By Nick Haramis 
April 29, 2009 


Darting through the Sahara with a preserved corpse. Murdered at a crossroads in Kenya. Kicking ass alongside conmen brothers and their explosive sidekick in Prague. The edgy and earthy Rachel Weisz hasn’t exactly been easy to track (or pin) down. But with a young son at home, an Oscar on her mantel and three new movies in the can, the daring and elusive actress takes a minute to consider her illustrious career, all the while trying to make sense of the condom shorts on display at Manhattan’s New Museum. 








Like most major stars, Rachel Weisz understands that scandal shines brighter than Academy Award polish, and that tabloid gossips would kill to replace the Narciso Rodriguez gowns in her closet with skeletons. But there are no addictions in her past. There are no tapes documenting torrid affairs with boldface, bald-headed studio executives. One cannot even recall a single of her awards-show acceptance speeches colored by too much red wine. Weisz can’t be blamed, then, for wanting to shake things up. "Believe me," she says. "I get it. I’m living with a nice man, and I have a nice job and a happy family, blah, blah, blah… "

就像多數大明星，瑞秋懷茲知道流言蜚語比奧斯卡小金人更眾口鑠金，以及水果日報將展開以衣櫃內名牌服飾換取家醜外揚的你爭我奪。但她過往不是凱特摩絲。市面上也未流通和片廠主管火熱的錄影帶。我們甚至難以回想有哪一場得獎演說是臉紅紅的。懷茲保持低調。「相信我」她說。「我懂了，我和新好蝶龍同居，有份好工作和快樂家庭，諸如此類……」


Far from Hollywood, a diorama of desperation and loaner implants, Weisz has created a home in Manhattan’s East Village with her fiancé, Darren Aronofsky, the director of fantastically unconventional fare such as Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and this year’s The Wrestler. With their 2-year-old son, Henry (Weisz wrote one of her two university theses on the ghost stories of Henry James), they live in a townhouse amid the tattooed punks and NYU co-eds who occupy the tattered streets near St. Mark’s Place. Weisz often dines at Café Mogador, a Moroccan restaurant (where she also conducts the majority of her interviews). On rare nights out, she stops in at Zablozki’s in Brooklyn, the no-fuss beer den owned by Aronofsky’s best friend, Ari Zablozki, and Angel’s Share, a lounge above St. Mark’s Bookshop that serves "the best lychee cocktails in the world."

遠離好萊塢，一幅狼狽與債權的西洋鏡，懷茲和未婚夫蝶龍‧阿諾夫斯基，夢幻驚駭作品如【死亡密碼】【噩夢輓歌】【真愛永恆】，以及今年的【力挽狂瀾】之導演，在曼哈頓東村建構了一個家。和他們兩歲大的兒子，亨利 (懷茲以亨利詹姆斯大學鬼故事命名)，與佔據聖馬克街支離巷道的刺青龐克和紐約大學女學生住在多棟聯建住宅。懷茲經常於瑪歌朵咖啡館用餐，一家摩洛哥餐廳 (也是她接受多數訪問的處所)。某晚，她在布魯克林的查布洛斯基停下，該無憂慮啤酒館乃蝶龍摯友阿瑞‧查布洛斯基所擁有，以及安琪拉股份，聖馬克書店樓上，提供「全世界最好喝的荔枝雞尾酒」的小歇。

筆者一直認為我這麼捧蝶龍，是因為他把到瑞秋懷茲 ↑


But there is another Rachel Weisz, an actress who exudes subtlety and strength. Watching this woman onscreen is not unlike angling through a swarm of tourists at the Louvre for a better look at Mona Lisa’s smile: take one step, and in an instant, her tenor changes dramatically. She is quicksilver, and has shifted effortlessly between a thrill-seeking Egyptologist, a prostitute, a pickpocket, a blue dragon, a policewoman (and her twin sister) and a writer with a penchant for graying men. In each case, she commits to the fiction, mocking vanity through her own game of make-believe—"like pirates," she says, "or smugglers." 

但瑞秋懷茲有雙面，另一面是散發微 (ㄨㄟ) 妙與堅毅的女演員。於大螢幕欣賞這女人不像在羅浮宮為了一睹蒙娜麗莎的微笑與烏合觀眾推擠：向前一步，頃刻，她是戲劇變色龍。她善變，優遊於冒險埃及學者、娼妓、扒手、泡泡龍 (這三小!!!)、女警 (和她雙胞妹)，以及癖好老男人的作家。每個角色，她表現虛構，藉她的假扮遊戲諧仿浮華—「就像海盜」她說，「或是走私業者。」

按：有人可以告訴我娼妓和泡泡龍 (blue dragon) 各是哪兩部電影嗎？







Over the next few months, Weisz will star in three studio releases, including this month’s grifters’ yarn The Brothers Bloom, featuring a stacked deck of actors like Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and Rinko Kikuchi. In director Rian Johnson’s absurdist wonderland of theft, betrayal and card tricks, Weisz plays Penelope, an idiosyncratic heiress in search of adventure. Weisz raps, juggles, skateboards and crashes cars (many cars) as she sets off on a journey with two conmen brothers and their monosyllabic arsonist-sidekick Bang Bang. Adjectives in the realm of "lovely" and "electric" do not do Weisz justice. 

接下來的幾個月，懷茲將主演三部大製片，包括本月份金光黨故事【騙行無阻】，卡司們如衰眉道人、馬克盧法洛和菊地嶺子領銜。身處導演萊恩強森的荒謬夢幻島，詐騙、背叛與金牌手充斥，懷茲飾潘妮洛普，追求刺激的貴婦女繼承人。和兩位金光黨兄弟與流川楓縱火份子班班的旅程途中，懷茲鬼扯、雜耍、溜滑板並玩命關頭 (撞毀許多車車)。在這「可愛」與「勁量」領域，你找不到形容詞來形容懷茲。

按：萊恩強森前作為【追兇】(Brick, 2005)，期許他成為下一個駕馭好萊塢電影的獨立製片導演！

Later this year, she will star alongside Susan Sarandon and Mark Wahlberg in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Lovely Bones, based on Alice Sebold’s bestselling novel about rape and murder, and Agora, a historical epic directed by celebrated Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Amenábar. (On the set of Agora, co-star Max Minghella nicknamed the actress "Dr. Weisz" because, he says, she is “such a deeply curious person. It really is a shame that she’s such a bloody good actress, because she would have made a champ psychoanalyst.”) 

抗提鈕，她將同台蘇珊莎蘭登和馬克華伯格出現在改編自【蘇西的世界】彼得傑克森電影，根據艾莉絲希柏德關於強暴與謀殺的暢銷小說，以及【阿哥拉】，著名智利導演亞歷山卓亞曼納巴執導史詩。(演員麥斯明格拉在【阿哥拉】拍攝現場為瑞秋取了個「懷茲博士」的綽號，表示「她煞是個好奇寶寶。身為一個好演員太可惜了，因為她可以當王牌心理分析師。」)

As it turns out, she also would have made an outspoken art critic. Crossing New York’s Bowery, a sociological zoo of homeless missions and luxury hotels, we approach the New Museum. "You must check out the work of Thomas Ruff," Weisz says, holding open the entrance door. "He’s a German artist who takes pictures of Internet porn and then blurs them digitally. He blows up cropped arms, legs and genitals so that they’re heavily pixilated and almost look like Grand Master paintings. I own a little one he did that shows a girl with her panties falling down," she adds, her crimson cheeks betraying a slight blush. 

結果顯示，她也直言藝術評論。穿越紐約涼亭，無家使節和奢侈旅店的社會公園，我們來到新博物館。「你得瞧瞧湯瑪士魯夫的作品」懷茲說，敞開入口大門。「他是個拍攝網路色情，然後數位化模糊的德國藝術家。他春光乍洩截肢與生殖器，如此它們瘋狂不羈，就像出自大師之手。我有張女孩內褲脫落的小傑作」她補充，蘋果臉頰藏不住輕微羞赧。

Without question, the most cherished pieces in her collection have been created by punk icon Raymond Pettibon. "I think he’s a poet," she says, walking through an exhibition devoted to the urbanization of modern-day China. "I bought Darren a piece from a series that Pettibon did on surfers. It’s a picture of Jesus on a surfboard and it says, 'Proof that everything is rideable.'" Her big eyes grow bigger when describing "Untitled (Aretha)," a red block made from amber that could easily be mistaken for a monster Jolly Rancher. It was created by her friend, conceptual artist Roni Horn, and Weisz swears it’s “the sexiest block you’ve ever seen... but it’s Aretha Franklin!” 

　毫無疑問，她的收藏裡最受疼愛之珍寶，出自龐克肖像雷蒙派提本之手。「他是個詩人」她說，走過當代中國都市畫展覽。「我從派提本衝浪者系列給蝶龍買了禮物。那是個耶穌乘衝浪板的照片，註解著『萬物皆可駕馭的證明』」描述「無標題 (艾瑞莎)」時，她的大眼睜得更大，一個琥珀製成的紅色框框，看起來很容易被誤認為糖果怪獸。她的朋友，概念藝術家朗尼霍恩所創造，懷茲發誓那是「你看過最性感的方塊……但那可是艾瑞莎弗蘭克林呀！」

Crossing the main floor of the museum, Weisz shrieks at a pitch normally reserved for scratch-ticket winners and newly engaged sorority sisters. "Viagrate! Is Viagra called Viagrate in China? Wait, is that a joke? Condom shorts! They’re entire shorts with a condom on the end! This must be jokey stuff, like from the joke shop."

穿越博物館的主要樓層，懷茲以刮刮樂中獎者和甫加入姐妹會成員的音調尖叫。「威而肝！那在中國叫威而肝？等等，是個笑話嗎？安全套短褲！彼端有著安全套的短褲！這是一定是在開玩笑，宛如來自笑話商店。」






我要搶劫瑞秋的皮包！


The elevator doors open onto the fifth floor of the gallery, into what looks like an Israeli refugee camp. Spray-painted phrases like "Terror Error" share space with Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubby that Jerry Falwell accused of homosexuality. "It’s all very Tracey Emin-ish," says Weisz. And she’d know. In 2003, she reprised the role of Evelyn, her stage character in Neil LaBute’s The Shape of Things, for the writer-director’s film adaptation of the same name. As the calculating art student who manipulates and transforms an impressionable loser into a handsome but miserable bachelor, Evelyn is plucked directly from the pages of the Turner Prize–winning artist. 

抵達五樓畫廊電梯開啟，看似以色列難民營。潑墨片語比方「恐怖錯誤」和丁丁分享空間，被傑瑞法威指控同性戀的紫色天線寶寶。「相當崔西艾敏」懷茲說。而她明白。二零零三年，她重現伊芙琳，編導尼爾拉布特舞台劇和同名改編電影【人體雕塑】的角色。機關算盡美術系學生，操控並改造一個路人輸家成為帥氣但可悲的單身漢，伊芙琳簡直是該透納獎得主藝術家。

"I’ve met her," says Weisz, quietly. "She’s very scary. She came to see the play, and I met her in the bar afterward. She’s an amazing character, very… provocative." It’s clear from Weisz’s raised eyebrows that "provocative" intrigues her. 

　「我會過她」懷茲說。「她非常可怕。她來看舞台劇，之後在酒吧看到她。她是狠角色，非常……挑釁。」講到「挑釁」這字眼時懷茲的眉毛明顯地挑起。




In The Brothers Bloom, Weisz’s character Penelope tells Adrien Brody’s Bloom that "a photograph is a secret about a secret... the more it tells, the less you know." It’s a statement that Weisz considers over fish tacos at Café Habana, a Cuban diner in Manhattan’s NoLita. Privacy, she thinks, might actually work against her; the less one offers up, the more ravenous media vultures become. "Have you ever heard the saying, Happiness writes white? It’s a good expression, isn’t it? It means that if the story is too happy, no one will ever be able to see it on the page." 

【騙行無阻】裡頭，懷茲角色潘妮洛普告訴衰眉道人布魯「一張照片是個關於一個秘密的一個秘密……說越多，知道越少。」那是懷茲吃完哈巴那咖啡館魚肉塔可所發表聲明，一家位於曼哈頓諾麗塔的古巴餐廳。隱私，她認為，可能老是和她作對；一個人提供越少，媒體鯊魚越嗜血。「你有沒有聽過，快樂難以眼見？很好的表達，不是嗎？意思是如果故事太快樂，將沒有人看到 (相信)。」
