    INTO THE FOREST

    Book ID/图书代码: 0790.2297B1539-

    English Summary/英文概要: Set in the near-future, Into the Forest is a powerfully imagined novel that focuses on the relationship between two teenage sisters living alone in their Northern California forest home.

    Over 30 miles from the nearest town, and several miles away from their nearest neighbor, Nell and Eva struggle to survive as society begins to decay and collapse around them. No single event precedes society’s fall. There is talk of a war overseas and upheaval in Congress, but it still comes as a shock when the electricity runs out and gas is nowhere to be found. The sisters consume the resources left in the house, waiting for the power to return. Their arrival into adulthood, however, forces them to reexamine their place in the world and their relationship to the land and each other.

    Reminiscent of Margaret Atwood’s A Handmaid’s Tale, Into the Forest is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking novel of hope and despair set in a frighteningly plausible near-future America.

    The Film’s Reception Patricia Rozema and Ellen Page have been on the media circuit since INTO THE FOREST’s premier. The New York Times interviewed Ellen Page: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/film-festivals/toronto-2015/video-ellen-page-on-freeheld-and-into-the-forest

    Critics seem to love the acting and cinematography of INTO THE FOREST, but some have been critical of Patricia Rozema’s directing and the pace of the film’s story arc. It’s also gained some intriguing comparisons to Mad Max: Fury Road. Excerpts and links to several reviews below.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这个充满想象力的故事发生在不久的将来,主人公是两个独自居住在加利福尼亚北部丛林中的少女姐妹。当她们周围的社会开始崩坏,Nell和Eva这对姐妹为了生存苦苦挣扎。一开始,并没有任何征兆。只是有传言说国外正在打仗,国会内部出现了动乱。忽然出现的停电和燃气短缺令世人震惊。姐妹俩只能靠房子里仅存的资源度日,等待电力的回复。随着她们步入成年,两人不得不重新审视所处的位置和两人于这片土地之间的关系以及她们之间的关系。

    小说讲述了一个有关希望和绝望的故事,精彩动人、发人深省。(LYR)

    Awards/获奖情况:由小说改编的同名电影由Patricia Rozema导演,Ellen Page(曾凭借影片《朱诺》获得奥斯卡最佳女主角提名)主演,已于2015年9月在北美上映。IMDB评分8.0分。

    “《深入丛林》和大部分描述世界末日的故事不同,聚焦于面临巨大灾难时小人物的感人瞬间。”

    http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/into-the-forest-review-tiff-2015/ “INTO THE FOREST is admirably defiant of many tropes that spring up in most apocalyptic stories, emphasizing its small character moments over large dramatic ones.”

    http://twitchfilm.com/2015/09/toronto-2015-review-into-the-forest.html “INTO THE FOREST takes a scenario that too often focuses on the macrocosmic, and instead turns to the microcosmic, focusing on individuals and the capacity to adapt to the most unthinkable to circumstances. With stellar performances, gorgeous cinematography, fascinating production design, all put together by a top-notch director, it is definitely the best film I’ve seen at TIFF, and will likely make it into my top five of the year.”

    http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/sep/15/into-the-forest-review-toronto-ellen-page-evan-rachel-wood-tiff “Like Z FOR ZACHARIAH, INTO THE FOREST… makes the bold move to present a post-apocalyptic world on a very small budget. However, unlike Craig Zobel’s assured three-hander, Patricia Rozema’s drama doesn’t burrow deep into its end of world scenario. In Rozema’s film, the apocalypse begins rather sensually, with talented cinematographer Daniel Grant capturing a female dancer in closeup. The sequence in no way portends what’s about to come.” http://www.screendaily.com/reviews/into-the-forest-review/5093030.article “INTO THE FOREST is a motivational tale, and an unusual one even by the standards of disaster movies and post-apocalyptic sagas. Yet in a marketplace saturated with disaster films, it stands out for its brazen novelty and for its implausibility. The presence of Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood in a story about two women overcoming adversity could muster an audience for a movie that doesn’t muster credibility.”

    http://www.andpop.com/2015/09/14/andpop-does-tiff-2015-freeheld-into-the-forest-brooklyn/ “Set in the near-future, INTO THE FOREST is about two sisters (played by Evan Rachel Wood and Ellen Page) fighting for survival as the world is approaching an apocalypse. Directed by Patricia Rozema and based on the novel of the same name by Jean Hegland, INTO THE FOREST is a movie about women, for women, made by women and I loved it. Page is also a producer on the project, a first for the talented actress. It’s a unique, bold, ambitious film that may not entirely pull off what it’s trying to do, but damn it gets close.”
