省长先生

mr-governor Mister Governor 省长先生 Over a year, we follow the former Swedish Minister of Defense, Anders Björck, in his work as governor of Uppsala County. The position is almost 400 years old, and the job consists of sitting at a big desk, having lunch with other governors, cutting ribbons, holding speeches and eating dinner with the King and Queen of Sweden. It’s hard work, but someone has to do it. Björck gives the viewer full access, making this personal portrait both humorous and very, very serious. The movie is shot in black & white on 16 mm film, and young Swedish prodigy Måns Månsson lets the camera speak for itself. Without a narrating voice or interviews, he leaves us with a poetic pictorial language, allowing even the smallest details to make a difference. 导演跟踪拍摄瑞典前国防部长，现乌普萨拉省省长安德斯.比约克先生，历时一年之久。这个职位在瑞典已经存在了大约400年，工作内容包括坐在办公桌后，与其他省长一起吃饭，剪彩，主持演讲，与瑞典国王和女王共进晚餐。这是项困难的工作，但总得有人去做。比约克将自己完全展现在观众面前，刻画出一个既幽默同时又非常严肃的人物形象。这部黑白电影以16毫米胶片拍摄，瑞典年轻导演曼斯.曼森让摄像机自己来说话。既没有旁白，也没有采访，他以一种诗意的画面语言使最微小的细节也充满不一样的感觉。 Måns Månsson / Anagram Produktion / Sweden / 2008 / 82 min / Swedish
