故事梗概 Synopsis

23岁的弗兰琪是一名护士,和一大家子人居住在伦敦东区。因为她沉迷复仇,同时依然为15年前发生的创伤性事件感到愧疚,因此无法与任何人建立有意义的关系,直到她爱上了自己的一名病人——弗洛伦斯。她们逃到了海边生活,那里有弗洛伦斯和她思想更为开放的拼凑家庭。在那里,弗兰琪找到了情感庇护所来处理过去的恩怨。

23-year-old Franky is a nurse who lives with her large family in an East London borough. Obsessed with a thirst for revenge and a need to assign guilt for a traumatic event that happened 15 years before, she is unable to build any meaningful relationship until she falls in love with one of her patients – Florence. They escape to the coast where Florence lives with her more open-minded patchwork family. There, Franky finds the emotional shelter to deal with the grudges of the past.

导演阐述 Director’s Statement

创作和宣传我的上一部电影《污秽之神》是一趟漫长的旅程,而在途中我非常有幸遇见了一位卓尔不群的艺术家——维琪·奈特。白天,维琪只是一名医疗助理,在拍摄《污秽之神》之前,维琪从未拍过电影。我被她的坦诚和她在镜头前保持真诚和脆弱的态度所吸引。她的表演让所有人惊叹不已,并为她赢得了英国电影和电视艺术学院奖。

我们一起花了很多时间来准备这部电影,还一起四处路演来把这部作品带给世界各地的观众。当你与非专业演员合作时,你知道你建立的是终生的关系,但我们在一起的时间越多,我就越意识到维琪是多么特别。在影片上映的前几个月,一个想法逐渐在我的脑中成形,我无比确信维琪所能带给大家的并不仅仅只这一部电影,下一部作品需要突出她的个人经历,但又不能拍成纪录片。

在《污秽之神》中,维琪的伤疤是故事线的一部分,她也竭尽全力将其展现给世界。《银色薄雾》不再关于维琪的伤疤,而是再现她的个人故事。《银色薄雾》玩弄现实,也偏离着现实。夏洛特和维琪在现实生活中也是姐妹,她们两人之间本身便存在着火花。通过塑造维姬的故事,我能够将虚构与现实交织在一起,也希望创作出一些真实且引人入胜的内容,与维姬这个不可思议的人相匹配。

Creating and promoting my previous film, Dirty God, was a long journey on which I was fortunate to embark an incredible artist, Vicky Knight. A healthcare assistant by day, Vicky had never stood in front of a camera before Dirty God. I was captured by her openness and her readiness to remain sincere and vulnerable in front of the camera. She blew everyone away with this performance which landed her a BAFTA award.

We spent a lot of time together preparing the film but then we also toured extensively to bring it to audiences all over the world. When you work with non-professional actors, you know that what you build is a relationship for life, yet the more we spent time together, the more I realised how special Vicky is. During those months ahead of the release, an idea started to take shape, I was convinced of the fact that Vicky had so much more to give than just this one film and that the next one would need to address her own personal experience but without turning it into a documentary.

In Dirty God, Vicky’s scars were part of the story line and she gave a great deal of herself exposing them to the world. Silver Haze is not about Vicky’s scars but it is a way of bringing her own personal story to life. Silver Haze plays with reality but it also strays from it. Charlotte and Vicky are sisters in real life too, and there was a fire. Giving shape to Vicky’s story allowed me to weave fiction with reality, hoping to produce something authentic and compelling that would be a match for the incredible person that Vicky is.
