导演阐述 Director’s Statement

影片灵感来源于刘柯依小说《白玉杯》,借助彩色和黑白两种不同的色彩风格区分现实与臆想,将白玉杯被盗一事层层揭开,白玉杯在影片中是主人公欲望的化身,但自身人格仍被道德法律约束,于是衍生出第二人格,对白玉杯实施了盗窃,欲望达成后却发现自己无论对于异性或同性都很难建立亲密关系,影片正是借助这一故事,通过主角向心理咨询师的陈述,挖掘孤独心境下主人公对于亲密关系的欲望,完成对于亲密关系的悲观表达。

The film is inspired by Liu Keyi’s novel “White Jade Cup”. Using contrasting color styles—color for reality and black-and-white for imagination—the story gradually unveils the theft of the white jade cup. In the film, the white jade cup represents the protagonist’s desires, but the primary personality (she/her) remains constrained by moral law, leading to the emergence of a second personality (he/him), who commits the theft. Once his desire is fulfilled, he finds that it is difficult for him to establish an intimate relationship regardless of the opposite or the same sex. Through the protagonist’s sessions with a psychological counselor, the film explores the protagonist’s desire for intimacy and completes the pessimistic expression of intimacy.
