让-玛丽·斯特劳布 (Jean-Marie Straub) 再次选择了切萨雷·帕韦塞 (Cesare Pavese) 的对话《Le Genou d'Artemide》。这不仅仅是任何对话，而是撕开爱与被遗忘者之间痛苦而神秘的深渊的对话。这部电影是一种单一的兴奋和一种单一的冲动，一种对自然的咒语和分散。它从黑暗的屏幕中升起，吟唱着，随着风的低语消失在树林里。它与通常所说的“电影”没什么关系。它的一只脚已经踏入了外面的世界。 大自然的想象力是最有想象力的艺术家的一千万倍。 （让-马里·斯特劳布）简介：《阿蒂米德的膝盖》（Le genou d'Artémide）是一部由让-马里·斯特劳布执导的意大利和法国合拍的短片，于2008年上映。该片根据意大利作家切萨雷·帕韦塞（Cesare Pavese）的同名小说改编而成。故事发生在20世纪50年代的意大利乡村，主人公是一名年轻男子阿尔多（Andrea Bacci饰）。他迷恋着村里的美丽女子阿蒂米德（Dario Marconcini饰），对她倾注了无尽的热情。然而，阿蒂米德却只把他当作一个朋友。故事以阿尔多对阿蒂米德《阿蒂米德的膝盖》（Le genou d'Artémide）是一部由让-马里·斯特劳布执导的意大利和法国合拍的短片，于2008年上映。该片根据意大利作家切萨雷·帕韦塞（Cesare Pavese）的同名小说改编而成。故事发生在20世纪50年代的意大利乡村，主人公是一名年轻男子阿尔多（Andrea Bacci饰）。他迷恋着村里的美丽女子阿蒂米德（Dario Marconcini饰），对她倾注了无尽的热情。然而，阿蒂米德却只把他当作一个朋友。故事以阿尔多对阿蒂米德的迷恋和内心挣扎为线索，揭示了他对爱情的渴望、性欲和自我发现的探索。《阿蒂米德的膝盖》以精细的摄影和富有诗意的叙事风格展现了主人公内心的情感纠结和成长过程。电影通过细腻的画面和表演传达出对于爱情、欲望和个人身份的复杂探索。导演让-马里·斯特劳布在影片中运用了富有艺术感的镜头构图和光影处理，营造出一种梦幻般的氛围。《阿蒂米德的膝盖》是一部短片，但在有限的时间内成功地表达了对爱情和性欲的深刻思考。它以细腻而富有张力的方式展现了人性的复杂性和情感的纠结，让观众思考关于欲望和个人身份的问题。请注意，以上简介仅概括了电影的主要特点，建议您观看电影或查询更多相关资料，以深入了解《阿蒂米德的膝盖》的故事和主题。
