菲林卫士:P·K·奈尔

电影(🛅)如蝴蝶，漂亮而短寿。千机万变(🕑)抓住美好(🔚)固已难能可贵，留住永恒之美，庶几无憾。印度气候潮热，多(👼)亏人称「(🚼)奈尔先(🐋)生(🔚)」(🈂)的印度(🔞)电(✉)影保育之(📅)父，无数濒临损毁边(🏮)缘的珍贵作(✉)品，得以(💃)保存修复。由(🅱)门票收藏家变身菲林(👞)卫士，不避跋(👛)涉直入穷乡挽救烟没的电影，奈尔走过的路可有十万八千里(💖)？看(📎)着旧片(🐉)重 温、各式制作公(😗)司(🥐)商标(🈯)的片头蒙太奇，印(🐬)度电影(🚡)史彷佛就在经(👝)他保留的影框之间(🕷)无言揭示。遑论波兰大师赞禄西、斯里(🌳)兰卡国宝培里斯等锦上(🔂)添花(🤔)的(🦂)访谈，直构一场知性大(🎃)丰收。Henri Langlois, the French film preservation pioneer, had it easy compared to P. K. Nair. Nair, the founder of the National Film Archive of India, has been instrumental in salvaging his country's cinematic heritage, from early silent films to regional cinema to even popular Hindi movies. He has also been a teacher to a host of filmmakers, including this documentary's director. Heartfelt and illuminating, this is a celebration of cinema and a man who spends his life safeguarding film for future generations.
