3月19日,電影《富春山居圖》片花在香港亮相。《富春山居圖》(Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains,也有外國媒體稱之為Fuchun Mountains and Rivers)是元代畫家黃公望的代表作(representative work/masterpiece),以印象派手法表現(xiàn)了起伏的山巒和鄉(xiāng)村景色,影響了幾代風(fēng)景畫家(be influential to generations of landscape painters)。這幅畫本身的命運也充滿了傳奇色彩(be tinted with legendary courses)。幾經(jīng)輾轉(zhuǎn),此畫于明朝末年傳到收藏家(collector)吳洪裕手中。吳洪裕極為喜愛此畫,甚至在臨死前下令將此畫焚燒殉葬,以便自己來生仍可欣賞(He gave his deathbed command to burn the painting as a sacrifice and bury it with him so that he could enjoy it in his afterlife.)。幸虧吳洪裕的侄子將畫從火中搶救出,但已被燒成一大一小兩段。前段稱《剩山圖》(the Leftover Mountain Painting),現(xiàn)藏浙江省博物館;后段稱《無用師卷》(the Master Wuyong Painting),現(xiàn)藏臺北故宮博物院(the National Palace Museum in Taiwan)。2011年,兩部分終于在臺北故宮博物院合璧展出(joint showing)。
電影界借此為背景虛構(gòu)了一段驚險的故事。在片中,輾轉(zhuǎn)流失的《富春山居圖》即將展出,國際黑市開出天價(exorbitant price),江湖各路人馬(different forces)各展其能,生死對決(go into life-and death fighting),而男女主人公的恩怨情仇(feelings of gratitude and resentment, love and hatred)也就此展開。▲
