BBC推荐：9月必看的9部电影

8.《乌娜》（Una）

上映日期：9月1日（英国）

A full year after it played at the Toronto and London film festivals in 2016, Una is set to arrive in cinemas. Ben Mendelsohn plays a convicted paedophile, Ray, who is confronted by Una (Rooney Mara), now grown, who he abused when she was 12 years old. He's changed his name and has abandoned his old life – we think – having taken a well-paying job and moved to the suburbs with a wife who's totally unaware of his criminal history. Una wants to figure out what her abuse meant and whether or not Ray feels remorse. Theatre director Benedict Andrews makes his film debut with Una, an adaptation of David Harrower's 2005 play Blackbird, which most recently ran on Broadway in 2016 with Jeff Daniels and Michelle Williams playing Ray and Una. The film does feel stage bound as a result, with many dialogue-heavy scenes set in and around the labyrinth of an office/factory complex where Ray now works. Some of the staging is awkward, but the performances of Mendelsohn and Mara are so strong it hardly matters.
2016年，《乌娜》在多伦多电影节及伦敦电影节展映，过了整整一年后，终于要在院线上映了。鲁尼•玛拉饰演的乌娜成年后指控雷（本•门德尔森饰）在她12岁时对她进行性侵，雷被判侵犯未成年罪名成立。出狱之后，雷改头换面挥别过去的生活，他有着一份高薪的工作并和妻子搬到郊区居住，妻子对他过往的犯罪历史毫不知情。而乌娜则想要弄清楚那段性侵的意义，雷有没有对此感到忏悔。《乌娜》是戏剧导演本尼迪克特•安德鲁斯的电影处女作，该片改编自大卫•夏洛瓦2005年的剧作《黑鸟》，这部戏剧最近于2016年登上百老汇舞台，由杰夫•丹尼尔斯饰演雷，米歇尔•威廉姆饰演乌娜。正因如此，电影《乌娜》有着明显的舞台感，片中许多大段对白的戏份都发生在雷如迷宫般的工作室内或周围。在门德尔森和玛拉精湛的演技下，可以忽视影片部分拙劣的场景。
