8. This has been quite a year for difficult male artists and their troubles — with women, with ambition, with a world that doesn’t quite understand them. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Birdman” and Alex Ross Perry’s “Listen Up, Philip” each take a crack at the creative ego and its discontents, but they are pale, tentative efforts next to Mike Leigh’s “Mr. Turner,” an earthy, messy, altogether sublime portrait of the great 19th-century British painter, played by Timothy Spall.

8.这一年有很多影片都是反映那些处境艰难的男性艺术家与他们的烦恼——关于女人、关于抱负，还有这个并不完全理解他们的世界。亚历桑德罗·G·伊纳里多(Alejandro G. Iñárritu)的《鸟人》(Birdman)与亚历克斯·罗斯·佩里(Alex Ross Perry)的《菲利普的生活》(Listen Up, Philip)都成功拍出了创造型人格及其内心的不满，但和麦克·李(Mike Leigh)的《透纳先生》(Rr. Turner)相比，这两部影片就显得像是苍白而不确定的尝试。《透纳先生》由蒂莫西·斯波(Timothy Spall)主演，为这位伟大的19世纪英国画家勾勒出一幅质朴、混乱而又庄严的肖像。
