以下部分是我粗译的,希望能帮到对这部片子有兴趣的朋友。
BTW,有谁知道为什么标题用了Homme 而不是 Home吗?

SYNOPSIS
HOMME LESS is about the underbelly of the American Dream, the hidden backyard of our society. Mark’s life stands as a metaphor for the struggle of the vanishing middle class in America. But it’s also a film about the relationship between New York City and one of its residents. New York is not simply a beautiful backdrop for this story. She’s the antagonist that dictates the direction M’s life is going in. The joy and pain, the love and hate, the success and denial New York is teasing him with, the hardship he is going through in order to stay in her grace and the inventiveness he comes up with to be with her are all unique.
【梗概】
HOMME LESS是一部讲述美国梦之中不完美的片子,一部关于我们这个社会隐秘之处的片子。Mark的人生某种程度上是作为美国的衰落中产阶级奋力拼搏的一个隐喻。
但同时这也是部有关纽约和住在其中的人们间关系的纪录片。在这个故事中,纽约也绝不仅仅是以漂亮背景而存在的。她是某种“敌人”,支配着Mark的人生轨迹。纽约戏弄着他,夹杂着快乐与痛苦,爱与恨,成功与失败。Mark为了能继续享有她的光环而走过的所有艰辛,和为了能和她在一起才涌现的所有创造性做法,都是独一无二的(一种人生经历,不可能被复制)。
Mark walks the streets of Manhattan looking like a millionaire, wearing designer suits and expensive leather shoes. He seems to be well off, and works in the prestigious fashion and movie business. He is eloquent, charming and good looking, and obviously has a lot going for him. But while during the day he pursues a ‘normal’ life, late at night he goes to a place where the American Dream has turned into a nightmare.
走在大街上的Mark和一个富翁无异,穿戴者设计师定制的服装、昂贵的皮鞋,看上去就是一副有钱人的样子,还是在有声望的时尚或者电影界工作的那种。他既能说会道,又充满魅力,还那么地帅气。人生还能走向更辉煌,这是显而易见的。
可是,白天过着这种“正常”生活,一到夜晚他就得去那个将美国梦活生生变成噩梦的地方(过夜)。
HOMME LESS captures a raw and unfiltered moment in time, our time. Like its title HOMME LESS has different layers and raises the question of how far are we from losing everything, even our homes, and with it a part of our dignity and humanity? How often do we have to pretend that everything is in fine order to keep up the facade of being a well-off member of society? And how far are we prepared to go to take the financial pressure off our shoulders to live a more carefree live, the live that we want to live?
HOMME LESS捕捉到生活中那粗犷的、不经甄选的画面,来自于我们这时代的画面。就像它有多层含义的标题一样,(这部电影)启发我们思考这些问题:
我们距离失掉所有,甚至失去家有多远,而这种失去又和我们的自尊、人性有多少分的联系?
我们得多频繁地去伪装一切都很好,自己还在社会中过着体面生活的场景?
还有,我们距离过上不再有财政压力,一直所期盼的无忧无虑生活之间,还有多远的距离?
What went wrong in Mark’s life? How is he able to keep up his facade of success and fool everyone? What keeps him from going under? What motivates him to put up with this rather unthinkable situation? What were and are his hopes and desires in life?
Mark的生活到底出了什么乱子?他是如何做到门面不倒而又“欺骗”所有人的?是什么帮他没有被击垮?是什么激励着他去和这种难以置信的境况作斗争?他的梦想和欲望又到底是什么,无论是往日还是当下。
Mark stands lost and alone in the midst of eight million dreams, balanced between the glamorous surfaces of this vibrant and inspiring city and its far from glamorous hidden backyard. He is the Homme Less.
Mark在无穷的美国梦中显得有些怅然若失,他在这座魅力之都(请脑奏《滑板鞋》)的光鲜表面和那远非光鲜可比的“黑暗后院”间不断平衡。他,就叫Homme Less。
