Abstract The paper surveys two modes of representation present in contemporary Hungarian and Romanian cinema, namely magic realism and minimalist realism, as two ways of rendering the “real” in the Central Eastern European geocultural context. New Hungarian Film tends to display narratives that share the features of what is generally assumed as being magic realist, accompanied by a high degree of stylization, while New Romanian Cinema is more attracted to creating austere, micro-realistic universes. The paper argues that albeit apparently being forking modes of representation that traverse distinct routes, magic realism and minimalist realism share a set of common elements and, what this study especially focuses on, converge in the preference for the tableau aesthetic. The paper examines the role of tableau compositions and tableaux vivants in representative films of the Young Hungarian Film and the Romanian New Wave, namely Szabolcs Hajdu’s Bibliothèque Pascal (2010) and Cristian Mungiu’s Beyond the Hills (După dealuri, 2012). An excessive use of the tableau can be detected in both films, with many thematic connections, in subtle interwovenness with female identiy and corporeality performed as a site of traumatic experiences, upon which (institutional, colonial) power relations are reinscribed. The tableau as a figuration of intermediality performs the tension between the sensation of the “real” and its reframed image, and proves especially suitable for mediating between low-key realism and highly stylized forms.1

魔术现实主义,极简主义现实主义与当代匈牙利和罗马尼亚电影中的画面形象

摘要本文考察了当代匈牙利和罗马尼亚电影中存在的两种表现形式,即魔术现实主义和极简主义现实主义,作为在中东欧地理文化背景下呈现“真实”的两种方式。匈牙利新电影倾向于展示叙事,这些叙事具有通常被认为是魔幻现实主义者的特征,并具有高度的风格化,而新罗马尼亚电影院则更倾向于创造出严肃,微观现实的宇宙。该论文认为,尽管显然是穿越不同路径的分叉表示方式,魔术现实主义和极简主义现实主义却共享一组共同的元素,并且,本研究特别关注的是,收敛于对画面美学的偏好。本文考察了匈牙利年轻人电影和罗马尼亚新潮代表电影中画面组成和画面活跃的作用,即Szabolcs Hajdu的BibliothèquePascal(2010)和Cristian Mungiu的《超越山丘》(DupăDealuri,2012)。在两部电影中,在与许多主题联系在一起的情况下,都发现了画面的过度使用,与女性身份的微妙交织和作为创伤经历的场所进行的肉体化,在上面重新刻画了(机构,殖民地)权力关系。作为中间形式的象征,画面表现了“真实”的感觉与其重新构图的图像之间的张力,并被证明特别适合在低调真实感和高度程式化的形式之间进行调解。1 Szabolcs Hajdu的BibliothèquePascal(2010)和Cristian Mungiu的Beyond the Hills(DupăDealuri,2012)。在两部电影中,在与许多主题联系在一起的情况下,都发现了画面的过度使用,与女性身份的微妙交织和作为创伤经历的场所进行的肉体化,在上面重新刻画了(机构,殖民地)权力关系。作为中间形式的象征,画面表现了“真实”的感觉与其重新构图的图像之间的张力,并被证明特别适合在低调真实感和高度程式化的形式之间进行调解。1 Szabolcs Hajdu的BibliothèquePascal(2010)和Cristian Mungiu的Beyond the Hills(DupăDealuri,2012)。在两部电影中,在与许多主题联系在一起的情况下,都发现了画面的过度使用,与女性身份的微妙交织和作为创伤经历的场所进行的肉体化,在上面重新刻画了(机构,殖民地)权力关系。作为中间形式的象征,画面表现了“真实”的感觉与其重新构图的图像之间的张力,并被证明特别适合在低调真实感和高度程式化的形式之间进行调解。1 与女性身份的微妙交织和作为创伤经历的场所进行的有形的交往,在其上重新刻画了(机构,殖民地)权力关系。作为中间形式的象征,画面表现了“真实”的感觉与其重新构图的图像之间的张力,并被证明特别适合在低调真实感和高度程式化的形式之间进行调解。1 与女性身份的微妙交织和作为创伤经历的场所进行的有形的交往,在其上重新刻画了(机构,殖民地)权力关系。作为中间形式的象征,画面表现了“真实”的感觉与其重新构图的图像之间的张力,并被证明特别适合在低调真实感和高度程式化的形式之间进行调解。1
