31. Marry My Husband（2025）

Minchester ·

2025/08/26

这期来聊改编自同名韩剧、由《黑暗荣耀》的导演执导的日剧《请和我的老公结婚吧》。这部剧可以简单粗暴地贴上“复仇爽剧”的标签，但它的制作精良、情节悬念迭起，对于除了铃木亘之外的主要角色的塑造都非常生动和富有层次。主角美纱与上辈子的老公友也之间的纠缠在搞笑与恐怖间横跳，极端作为一种风格，展露出真实的质地。相比情不知所以起的霸总，美纱与丽奈之间关系的刻画丰满、疯狂，令人印象极深。夏日漫长，去看一场富山的雪吧。I talked about the hit TV show Marry My Husband (Japanese version), with special attention to the twisted relationship between Misa and Reina.

30. Perfect Days (2023)

Minchester ·

2025/07/22

用了厕所，你就知道来到了日本。东瀛之行，洗手间令人印象尤深。维姆·文德斯导演的《完美的日子》（2023）展现了东京一位普通的厕所清洁人员平山的日常生活，以诗意、素雅的画面，展示出他“匠人式”细致而严谨的工作态度、简朴的生活方式，以及从细微之处找寻美的生活哲学。然而，“完美”是否果真如此无暇？这是否是一位欧洲导演对于异国带着游客目光的美化？当一部作品刻意避开生活的复杂性时，作为观众，我们是否应该质疑，那些没有那么光洁的部分去了哪里？有哪些隐形的脚手架，支撑与塑造着平山宁静致远的世界？在《完美的日子》那些令人微微有些不适的角落，我在那里多待了一会儿。

29. Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea

Minchester ·

2024/10/29

大家好！虽然本台是年更播客，但up并没有冬眠。在过去的一年里，我几次登陆“痴人之爱”，与主播阿酌一起，聊了聊几本“中学生必读世界名著”。“简·爱宇宙”系列做完，依然意犹未尽。在这期英文番外里，我俩继续对于《简·爱》与《藻海无边》的讨论。我们试着回答——简·爱为啥又回到了老罗身边？一个人不香吗？为什么简·爱的独立女性宣言不可信？《简·爱》作为幻想文学，“幻想性”体现在哪里？在桑菲尔德的三楼走廊，你选择朝着简·爱的辛德瑞拉故事走，还是转向伯莎的蓝胡子梦魇？对于失声的伯莎，《藻海无边》作为前传，如何反转疯女人叙事，讲述西印度群岛的被殖民史？作为英国主旋律文学作品的《简·爱》，它如何回应和塑造纯正的英国性？欢迎收听，也欢迎补齐播客“痴人之爱”收录的其他简·爱宇宙系列节目。Hello!

27. All of Us Strangers

2024/03/14

聊一聊克莱尔·芙伊与安德鲁·斯科特演“母子档”的《都是陌生人》。这部电影改编自日本作者、编剧山田太一的小说《遭遇异人的夏天》。生活在边缘的孤独的中年男子亚当，在这个夏天，遇见了已经逝世30年的父母……在这个世界、这个家里，我们是彼此的陌生人，但一起，是不是可以逃离这口孤寂深井？文稿可以在我的公号“敏彻斯特”找到。欢迎收听！I reviewed the film All of Us Strangers, starring some of today's most talented actors i.e. Andrew Scott and Claire Foy.

26. Never Let Me Go (2010)

Minchester ·

2024/01/02

这期节目回顾了2010年的电影《别让我走》，电影改编自石黑一雄的同名小说，讲述了在一所乡村寄宿学校中长大的孩子们与一般人类不同的一生。这部老片用极简风格讲述了一个惊悚而发人深思、看似“科幻”其实切近的故事，很被打动。主要谈了谈自己对于片名“别让我走”的理解。文稿可以在我的公号“敏彻斯特”找到。感谢收听，期待你的反馈！I reviewed the 2010 film Never Let Me Go adapted from the Kazuo Ishiguro's now classic fiction imagining the life of a group of human clones, recording their life's path from a boarding school called Hailsham to where they 'complete'.

In conversation with Joseph Graves

2023/09/07

Hello! It’s been quite a while – Welcome back!In this very special episode, Cherry and I were thrilled to have invited Mr Joseph Graves, actor, director, and writer of theatrical plays on the stages of Broadway and China. In 2021, we saw Revel’s World of Shakespeare at Da’ning Theatre. We loved it and couldn’t help shedding a few tears. Now, we had the opportunity to chat with Joe! He shared with us stories behind the creation of Revel’s World of Shakespeare and Man of La Mancha (senior and junior

Old-fashioned Cupcake

Minchester ·

2022/10/01

好久不见！这期节目从轻松愉快的《经典杯子蛋糕》聊起，讨论了这个老套却动人的故事里的类型片元素。本来就准备讲这些，哪里想到这周经历了一种意义上的“塌房”，于是又加了后半段颇为心酸的……饭圈人间观察。I talk about a Japanese late-night TV show called Old-fashioned Cupcake. It is a classic office romance. Despite the many familiar genre tropes, I was touched by the actors' selfless and powerful performances. I compare it with Cherry Magic and talk about how they approach themes like age anxiety. I question if 'real life' should be a parameter to judge artworks. Watching Old-fashioned Cupcake has

In My Skin

Minchester ·

2022/05/18

《切肤之痛》是一部小成本的英剧，在刚刚落幕的BAFTA上荣获最佳剧集、最佳剧本，可谓当之无愧。这部剧由威尔士编剧、演员凯丽·卢安林根据自己在威尔士长大的经历写就。16岁少女Bethan的家有点特殊，母亲患有严重的双向情感障碍，父亲是酒鬼，对母亲常常拳打脚踢。但对这一切，Bethan都极力向同学好友隐瞒……灰色的少女成长录，有点像《伦敦生活》遇见《鱼缸》。本期含重大剧透，请慎重收听。Spoiler Alert! In My Skin is a coming-of-age story about a Welsh girl Bethan as she explores the mirth and misery of an unusual girlhood - her mother has bipolar disorder and her dad is an abusive alcoholic. This show stole my heart with its second season. I talk about its creator Kayleigh Lleweylln, how her

Recommendations by a Solo-acted Woman

Minchester ·

2022/05/13

《独活女子的推荐》是一部东京电视台出品的小成本深夜档，由江口德子出演，讲述了一位选择独自探索好吃、好玩的地方的东京女子的故事。这部日剧是这段日子中的避风港，它温润、柔软、有趣，记录了一座城市可以拥有的模样。ソロ活女子のススメ, a low-budget night-time TV show that first aired last year is an unlikely refuge for me during this strange time. The Recommendations by A Solo-acted Woman follows 五月女 san as she explores her city and tries fun activities that are deemed impossible for an individual to enjoy. I love how it focuses on the delight of mindfulness - to pay attention to the details of life, be it the

这期节目，我邀请到一起制作腰部播客“一车烂话”的主播车厘子（Cherry）和烂木头（Lassie）来聊一聊由《离经叛道》导演Maria Schrader执导，大表哥Dan Stevens全程德语主演的人机爱情片/AI悲喜剧《我是你的人》。语言学家Alma因为需要资金，同意参与改善机器人Tom编程的项目，然而，她却对这个基于她“完美情人”设定的机器人并不来电……The past was a foreign country and we date robots now.I am joined by Cherry and Lassie from Rotten Cherry in discussing the German film I Am Your Man, starring Dan Stevens and Maren Eggert.

When Breath Becomes Air

Minchester ·

2022/03/20

The privilege of direct experience had led me away from literary and academic work, yet now I felt that to understand my own direct experiences, I would have to translate them back into language. Hemingway described his process in similar terms: acquiring rich experiences, and retreat to cogitate and write about them. I needed words to go forward. --Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air 作为【Meditation on Med/医疗题材作品鉴赏】小栏目的第二集，你将听到一份对于《当呼吸化作空气》的私人阅读笔记。这本回忆录记录了Dr

This Is Going To Hurt x Help

这是敏彻斯特评论首次推出小专栏，在【Meditation on Med/医疗题材作品鉴赏】中，我将聊聊触动我的那些（曾经兴趣了了的）医疗题材作品。能激发我如此观剧/阅读热情的，当然是本喵主演的《疼痛难免》，这是一部制作精良、节奏明快、人物鲜活的呈现英国公立医院妇产科悲喜剧的良心制作，按头推荐大家去看。趁着这股子对该题材的热情，我还看了《杀死伊芙》的Jodie Comer主演的《援助》，这部影片刻画的是2020年春季一家利物浦护理院中的故事，在医疗物资匮乏的情况下，护理院所经历的黑暗时刻。在下一集中，我将来聊一聊回忆录《当呼吸化作空气》。Hello!

When They Knit in Earnest

Minchester ·

2022/01/18

这一期来讲讲由荻上直子执导、生田斗真领衔主演的暖意融融的彩虹电影《人生密密缝》。这部电影对于女孩小友与作为trans女性的凛子之间的友谊有着动人的刻画，但片中不同的母亲角色更让我着迷。她们是关怀孩子的人，为孩子“密密缝”，但她们也在母职的路上屡屡失败，给不了孩子他们想要的身体，或是不理解孩子爱之所向，抑或无法成为一个为社会期待的“完美母亲”。《人生密密缝》温情而深刻，推荐给大家。Hiya!In this episode, I talk through a Japanese movie ‘彼らが本気で編むときは、’ （‘When They Knit in Earnest’ or ‘Close-Knit’）.

这期节目来聊聊《救生圈：友情以上，出轨未满》这部小制作日剧。我谈到导演风间太树的执导风格，细数几种推进剧情的用色，指出配角丰满的故事线让这部日剧远大于“全员出轨”这个噱头，最后也谈到自己对于“救生圈”的理解。这是一部迷人的深夜档，推荐给大家。Hi!In this episode, I talk about a manga-adapted low-budget Japanese TV show 'Lifebelt' (Ukiwa), which is directed by Kazama Hiroki （风间太树）and stars Kadowaki Mugi（门脇麦）.I knew Kazama san from Cherry Magic, and became fond of how he uses cinematography to tell the delicate exchanges of emotions between individuals, often in a workplace setting, and how he utilizes elements of fantasy

Princess Charming

Minchester ·

2021/08/14

这期节目，我与烂木头畅聊了点燃这个夏天的德国拉拉真人秀相亲节目——《白马公主》，我们聊到“公主”何以成为公主、不同性格的选手、节目的意义、甄选流程、规则，比对英国真人秀《爱之岛》（Love Island）与《白马公主》的异同，还有那些我们大为震撼、深受感动、有被雷到的桥段，以及下一季的海选指南。在聊天过程中，我们也了解到自己的思维盲区，以及不为自己所了解的“保守”一面，也让我们思考自己的观点是否是从直人审美中心主义出发的，认识到在如何更open-minded地了解世界的多元上，还有很长的路要走。Hallo!

这期节目我来谈谈一本爱不释手的回忆录《汉娜的重庆》，这本书由一位中德混血儿傅安娜书写，回忆了她在陪都度过的童年与少年时光。我谈到中德出版商在宣传此书时不同的角度，谈到汉娜作为一个德国外交官之女在抗战前后别样的人生故事，也谈到了她父母各自的人生经历。Hallo!

Quo Vadis, Aida x Safe Area Gorazde

在这一集中，我通过电影《怎么了，艾达？》、战地纪实漫画《安全区戈拉日代》、日记《兹拉塔的日记》、回忆录《波斯尼亚清单》四部作品，来谈谈我所了解到的波斯尼亚战争，以及不同媒介对于战争刻画的异同。I challenge myself in this episode to talk about a topic that I have long been interested in: the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Some six years ago, I was shocked to learn there was such a big war happening in Europe that I knew nothing about. Films like Quo Vadis Aida (06:07) and comic reportage Safe Area Gorazde (25:05) allow me to learn a little bit more about the odd turn of history and the sufferings

Promising Young Woman

这一集，我与烂木头一起来聊聊一部电影《前程似锦的女孩》，这部电影由凯瑞•穆里根主演，是《杀死伊芙》第二季的制片人Emerald Fennell的第一部剧情长片。这部讲述女性复仇的影片究竟看了让人拍手称快，还是一部撒着喜剧糖霜的悲剧？使用流行歌曲会不会削弱为好友复仇的沉重主题？这部充满糖果色的影片竟让烂木头想起了金基德电影中不按常理出牌的救赎戏份？反高潮的结局中是否暗含希望的种子？Hello! In this episode, I've invited Lassie to join me in discussing Promising Young Woman, a film starring Carey Mulligan and is the first feature film by British director/writer/author/actress Emerald Fennell.
