- 如果生命的风景注定漆黑一片让我们牵著彼此的手勇敢迈步向前。天生看不到、听不见也无法言语的玛莉,从小举动如野兽般粗暴,十四年来父母无能为力,连专收聋哑的修道院都拒她于门外。善良的玛格丽特修女独排众议收留玛莉,日复一日地细心教导玛莉手语,伴她走出寂静与黑暗的灵魂牢笼。两人间的羁绊日益加深,修女的身体健康却突然恶化,在剩馀不多的日子裡,她必须教导玛莉人生的最后一堂课。改编自真人真事,描述19世纪中后期,法国郊区一家专门收容聋哑女孩的拉内修道院所传颂的奇蹟故事。坎城导演尚皮耶亚莫斯,为了寻找电影灵感四处走访,得知这段传奇故事感动不已,决定将它改编电影。天生听不到也看不见的玛莉贺旦,以顽强的生命力对抗先天条件的不足,际遇犹如法版「海伦凯勒」,比《走出寂静》(BeyondSilence)与《听见天堂》(RedLiketheSky)更励志感人。法国凯萨奖影后伊莎贝卡蕾继《爱情的完美配方》(RomanticsAnonymous)再度与导演合作,一甩过去法国浪漫女人的形象,穿上修女袍演出不畏生死的坚强女性玛格丽特。而主角玛莉贺旦则是从失聪机构海选找到爱莉亚娜芮娃,以素人之姿挑战失聪、失明及失语的角色,与经验老道的影后对戏,展现初生之犊不畏虎的惊豔演出,完美诠释这段美丽缺陷的真实人生,获得法国凯撒奖最具潜力女演员提名,成为该奖首位提名的听障演员。导演细腻刻划角色之间的成长蜕变,以时间的匮乏当作经度,把生死学的衡量当作纬度,诱发整部电影的情感逐渐昇华,剧情潜移默化地把学习进步的细节层层堆高,将剧情前半段隐忍的情感一次在结局爆发,除了细腻描写两大主角之间的师生情,也在最后用生死之间複杂难懂的课题留给观众映后自行思考体悟,强化了整部电影成为更加激励人心的故事。本片选在卢卡诺影展著名的露天广场首次亮相,受到万人催泪感动推荐,经过评选获得卢卡诺影展广场之夜单元特别奖殊荣。而国际权威媒体更是佳评如潮,〈好莱坞报导〉(HollywoodReporter)盛讚:「情感完美觉察,赚人热泪。」〈综艺报〉(Variety)同样给予极大的好评:「真切、深情而饱满的法式浪漫」,而〈银幕〉(Screen)杂志更预言此片将会是一部撼动人心的经典之作,成为世界各个奖项的大黑马。
