批评家眼中2011年最好的电影

2011 has been another huge year for the film industry with plenty of summer blockbusters, 3D epics and thrill-packed action films. Don't know which one to choose?
2011年是电影界的又一个大年，有大量的夏季大片、3D史诗大片以及刺激的动作片。你不知道如何选择了吧？

It has come as a big surprise to many that one of the hits with critics this year is a mostly silent, black and white film with a French director and lead stars.
法国人导演和主演的一部几乎是无声的黑白影片成为今年受评论家欢迎的影片之一，这让许多人大吃一惊。

"The Artist" heads the Golden Globes with six nominations, among them Best Comedy or Musical, and acting honors.
《艺术家》以六项提名在金球奖中领跑，其中包括最佳喜剧片/音乐剧以及表演荣誉。

Kate Muir, chief film critic of The Times, said, "Because it's silent, it's really crossed all the barriers and people find it absolutely charming, very moving, very glamorous and it's really given cinema a whole new lease of life and certainly lots of awards are going to it now in America and it's very much being listed as one of the films for the Oscars."
《泰晤士报》首席电影评论家Kate Muir表示：“因为它是无声的，它真的跨越了所有的障碍，人们觉得它绝对迷人，非常感人，非常有魅力，它真的让电影院重生了，当然，现在它将获得美国的很多奖项，它非常有可能成为奥斯卡获奖影片之一。”

Another movie that really caught Muir's eye was Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," but, she said, it may not be to everyone's taste.
吸引Muir眼球的另一部电影是泰伦斯．马力克的《生命之树》，但是，她表示，它可能不适合所有人的口味。

Kate Muir said, "(The Tree of Life) was the great, big, huge, epic kind of art film with the most beautiful cinematography and a superb performance from Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain. Lots of people didn't understand it, lots of people loved it. It's a bit of a divider."
Kate Muir表示：“《生命之树》是好的、大的史诗类艺术片，拥有最漂亮的电影摄影艺术，还有布拉德．皮特和杰西卡．查斯坦茵的卓越演出。有很多人不理解它，有很多喜欢它。它有点像条分割线。”

Based on the 2003 novel by Lionel Shriver of the same name, "We Need To Talk About Kevin" is a shocking tale that wowed critics everywhere.
《凯文怎么了》是根据莱昂内尔．施赖弗2003年的同名小说改编的，它讲述了一个让各地的评论家惊叹的惊悚故事。

Kate Muir said, "I think the British film we're sort of most proud of is 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' with a superb performance by Tilda Swinton as the mother of a serial killer and it's done by Lynne Ramsay and beautifully filmed as well, so that's another one I liked."
Kate Muir表示：“我觉得，我们最引以为豪的英国电影可以说是《凯文怎么了》，演技一流的蒂尔达．斯文顿饰演了一位连环杀手的妈妈，它是琳恩．拉姆塞导演的，影片拍得很漂亮，所以这是我喜欢的另一部电影。”
