「 當 我 們 翻 閱 相 簿 ， 我 們 只 看 見 生 活 的 美 好 回 憶 ， 卻 沒 有 人 會 拍 下 不 想 回 憶 的 片 段 。 」 -- 薛 柏

戀 相 ． 狂 （ One Hour Photo ）

美 國 一 間 大 型 超 級 市 場 一 角 的 沖 曬 店 有 一 位 默 默 耕 耘 的 店 員 。 每 天 人 來 人 往 ， 曬 相 買 菲 林 的 人 不 絕 ， 卻 從 沒 有 一 位 顧 客 會 留 意 這 位 店 員 ， 除 了 麗 娜 約 基 （ 康 妮 尼 爾 森 飾 ） 。 她 每 次 都 對 他 報 以 微 笑 ， 對 他 亦 充 滿 信 心 ， 心 知 他 一 定 能 夠 把 她 拍 攝 的 幸 福 家 庭 照 片 妥 當 處 理 。

薛 柏 ( 羅 賓 威 廉 斯 飾 ) 從 一 張 張 的 照 片 感 到 麗 娜 與 其 丈 夫 的 幸 福 ， 就 像 他 見 證 這 一 個 家 庭 的 每 一 個 節 日 或 假 期 的 歡 樂 時 刻 。 他 看 著 麗 娜 兒 子 的 成 長 ， 由 手 抱 的 初 生 嬰 兒 到 活 潑 可 愛 的 九 歲 男 孩 。

對 於 薛 柏 來 說 ， 沖 曬 照 片 乃 非 常 重 要 的 責 任 ， 他 不 單 把 菲 林 沖 曬 成 相 片 ， 他 還 小 心 翼 翼 的 看 清 楚 每 一 張 照 片 所 歷 証 的 每 一 刻 。

薛 柏 認 為 人 生 很 短 暫 ， 美 好 的 回 憶 應 該 珍 惜 ， 越 多 回 憶 ， 人 生 就 越 有 意 義 。 亦 因 此 ， 他 比 相 片 內 的 主 人 翁 更 珍 重 相 片 所 表 達 的 時 光 ． ． ．

他 甚 至 認 為 自 己 已 成 為 麗 娜 的 家 庭 成 員 之 一 。 不 過 當 有 人 破 壞 他 從 照 片 中 感 受 到 的 美 好 家 庭 印 象 ， 他 便 受 到 心 靈 上 的 干 擾 ， 保 留 完 美 片 段 成 為 了 他 的 責 任 ， 為 了 維 持 這 個 完 美 的 家 庭 ， 他 會 ． ． ． 不 惜 一 切 !

關 於 < 戀 相 • 狂 >

身 兼 編 劇 導 演 的 麥 克 路 力 克 表 示 < 戀 相 • 狂 > 的 靈 感 來 源 乃 70 年 代 以 孤 獨 男 人 為 題 材 的 電 影 ， 對 他 影 響 深 遠 的 電 影 有 < 竊 聽 大 陰 謀 > 、 < 怪 房 客 > 、 < 的 士 司 機 > 、 < 過 客 > 。 而 麥 克 更 大 玩 英 文 字 詞 ， 片 中 的 Yorkin 家 庭 ， Yorkin 一 字 乃 英 文 的 Your Kin ： 你 的 親 戚 的 意 思 。

而 約 基 家 庭 就 像 是 廣 告 中 的 完 美 家 庭 ， 薛 柏 身 為 局 外 人 ， 看 在 眼 裡 百 感 交 集 ， 因 為 他 是 一 個 孤 獨 的 人 。

約 基 家 庭 在 相 片 所 展 示 的 美 滿 家 庭 生 活 及 麗 娜 約 基 表 面 上 看 來 是 幸 福 的 家 庭 主 婦 ， 跟 現 實 生 活 中 毫 不 完 美 的 事 實 造 成 一 種 分 裂 ， 而 這 個 雙 重 的 感 覺 異 常 吸 引 。 而 單 靠 照 片 斷 定 約 基 家 庭 家 庭 狀 況 的 薛 柏 就 像 一 般 十 五 六 歲 的 年 青 人 的 思 維 ： 「 我 只 要 像 某 名 人 或 富 裕 ， 我 的 生 活 就 完 美 。 」

薛 柏 失 去 了 與 人 維 繫 的 能 力 ， 亦 因 此 有 點 古 怪 ， 然 而 他 不 是 魔 鬼 ， 他 一 直 都 堅 信 自 己 的 原 則 ， 只 是 用 一 種 怪 異 或 不 為 俗 人 接 受 的 行 為 去 表 達 好 意 。

而 為 了 表 達 那 種 真 實 與 幻 想 的 完 美 世 界 ， 在 拍 攝 的 時 候 ， 製 作 部 門 在 佈 置 場 景 時 花 了 不 少 心 思 。 好 像 薛 柏 工 作 的 大 型 百 貨 公 司 ， 與 真 實 的 無 異 。 而 超 現 實 的 ， 乃 約 基 家 庭 的 佈 置 ， 非 常 溫 馨 ， 異 常 漂 亮 ， 而 那 亦 是 薛 柏 心 裡 一 直 渴 望 的 家 。

工 作 人 員 用 了 強 烈 的 顏 色 對 比 來 表 達 薛 柏 的 幻 想 及 真 實 世 界 。 約 基 的 家 用 上 了 金 黃 紅 ， 而 薛 柏 的 家 卻 是 灰 和 褐 。 約 基 的 家 代 表 了 夢 想 與 希 望 ， 薛 柏 的 家 乃 孤 獨 及 疏 離 。

除 了 在 家 居 佈 置 下 功 夫 外 ， 服 指 更 從 用 不 同 服 飾 來 表 達 兩 個 世 界 ： 薛 柏 的 衣 裳 非 常 簡 單 ， 顏 色 平 淡 ， 永 遠 穿 上 風 衣 ， 背 著 側 肩 袋 ． ． ． 看 上 就 像 是 「 任 何 人 」 。 而 約 基 一 家 都 穿 名 牌 衣 服 且 色 彩 艷 麗 ， 表 達 出 有 品 味 及 高 生 活 質 素 的 「 上 等 人 」 ，

住 在 超 現 實 的 生 活 ， 一 切 很 美 滿 ． ． ． 只 是 那 不 過 是 表 面 罷 了 ， 真 實 的 世 界 又 會 是 如 何 ？

"When we look through our photo albums, we're seeing a record of only the happy moments in our lives...No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget."

- Sy Parrish

The casual shopper stocking up at the local Savmart may not pay much attention to the man at the photo counter. They may, in fact, not even see him. He is a fixture. Nina Yorkin notices though. She greets him with a smile and leaves him with - trusts him with - the precious moments of her family's life.

Sy has seen the loving embraces Nina shares with her husband Will. He has witnessed every family holiday and vacation. He has watched their son Jakob, aka Jake, grow from infancy into a nine-year-old boy. Photo development is a responsibility Sy Parrish takes very seriously. He does not just mechanically thread negatives into a slot and print pictures. He does his job carefully, meticulously, taking care to see that each frame properly represents a moment in time.

A person's life, after all, in its simplest terms is nothing more than moments strung together from the second of birth to that final instant when the last breath is drawn. If those moments, all so fleeting, should be preserved, they become memories to be cherished; the more memories, the more important the life. Sy Parrish treasures these moments more than most people do. Sy cherishes these moments even more than the people who live them. If anything, or anyone, should disrupt or interfere with Sy's perception of the picture-perfect family, a family he feels so very much a part of, then he too feels the intrusion. Just as he takes responsibility for preserving the perfect moments, he feels obligated to correct the imperfect ones...

ONE HOUR PHOTO stars Academy AwardR-winner Robin Williams (GOOD WILL HUNTING), Connie Nielsen (GLADIATOR) and Michael Vartan ("Alias") and was created by Writer/Director Mark Romanek, well known for his groundbreaking, multiple-award-winning music videos for Madonna, Nine Inch Nails, Fiona Apple, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Macy Gray, David Bowie, R.E.M., Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. ONE HOUR PHOTO was produced by Christine Vachon (BOYS DON'T CRY), Pamela Koffler (BOYS DON'T CRY) and Stan Wlodkowski (AMERICAN BEAUTY) and executive produced by Robert B. Sturm, Jeremy W. Barber and John Wells.

ABOUT ONE HOUR PHOTO

Writer/Director Mark Romanek said his inspiration for ONE HOUR PHOTO emerged out of "a desire to make a contemporary film in the mode of the `lonely-man' films of the 70s." His influences were drawn from films like THE CONVERSATION, THE TENANT, TAXI DRIVER and THE PASSENGER. The Yorkin family, upon which Sy turns his focus, were named based on the word play, "your kin."

After completing the script, Romanek sent it to producers Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler who instantly liked the story. Vachon remembers, "The script was intriguing enough for us to feel like we wanted to sit down and talk to him. That's part of the process. Will a director convince us that a script we felt was good is even better? Do they make us excited about the journey from the page to the screen?"

Producer Stan Wlodkowski joined the filmmaking team after learning of the burgeoning project through a colleague. A longtime fan of Vachon and Koffler, Wlodkowski also found Romanek's script "insightful as well as challenging."

The team instantly set about the task of finding the right actor to fill Sy Parrish's shoes. Koffler says, "We were driven to Robin by Mark's vision. We thought that to really elevate ONE HOUR PHOTO, to make it as great as it could be, we needed a real movie star in the role of Sy. Someone with that kind of charisma willing to play a character probably unlike anything they'd ever played before."

Romanek said what convinced him that Williams was the right man for the part was the enthusiasm and empathy he brought to the character. "When we first met to discuss doing the film, we were so in synch about how Sy should be played, I immediately started to see the incredible potential of having Robin take on this role."

"To have Robin Williams in a part that is different than audiences have seen before was undeniably an important element in bringing this story to the screen," Koffler explains. Vachon agrees, adding, "I think audiences will be excited by the idea of seeing Robin do something that they haven't seen him do before, or not in a long time. Robin has done dramatic roles all through his career but they certainly aren't Sy. He's demonstrated in the past the range he has as an actor, so, in a way, all we're doing is reminding people of that."

Romanek agrees, "If you look more closely at some of Robin's dramatic work, you come to realize that this character isn't as far afield from his previous roles as you might imagine."

Williams was enthusiastic about the unusual character. "I'm glad they sent it to me to begin with." He explains, "People always say, 'Oh, he plays such nice people.' This man is nice, but with a dark side. It's been exciting to play that. He does things that are creepy, bizarre. It's interesting stuff to inhabit a real and very, very fascinating character." Romanek says it was also fascinating to watch Williams play the character. "The level of commitment, emotion and attention to detail that Robin brought to playing this role was truly amazing to witness."

Connie Nielsen, who plays the part of Nina Yorkin, the central character in Sy Parrish's idealized fantasy world, credits Romanek for his visionary character development. "I found that Mark had written a script that treated Robin's character with humanity and understanding."

Michael Vartan, who plays Will Yorkin, agrees, "One of the most interesting things was actually thinking of Robin Williams playing this character." Vartan explains, "It's not a huge departure because he has played dramatic roles before, but in my head, when I think of Robin Williams, I think of someone very funny, very witty, very fast, and it's always more on the comedic side of things. So when I read the script, especially toward the end of the story, I thought, my God, he is going to be absolutely terrifying in this film."

In addition to the complex nature of Sy's character, Williams said he was also drawn to the storyline. "When I first read it," Williams explains, "I thought it had so many interesting turns. You think it's going one way, then it gets very disturbing … disturbing in a good way, if you can be disturbed in a good way," he laughs. "His focus changes from one scene to the next and I found myself not knowing what was going to happen next, which is good. I found myself drawn into the character almost to the level of the thought process. That's what fascinated me."

Sy, who has always been an outsider, is drawn to the Yorkins' picture-perfect existence, which seems so opposite to his own. Williams observes, "They're not like a Norman Rockwell family but almost like families you see in advertisements now. They're young, beautiful and perfect in terms of that ideal image, and they seem to have everything. And that's what he finds fascinating, because he is totally the opposite; not attractive, he lives alone. They are like the exact counter pole to the universe for him and he's drawn to that."

This duality of perception - the Yorkins' appearance vs. their reality - also held intrigue for Nielsen. "I thought it interesting to play a character who has both this exterior side, which is the fantasy side, if you will. She is a housewife who, on the outside, looks as if she has the perfect life, and at the same time, we get to see the private side of her, which is anything but perfect. I love the dichotomy," Nielsen says.

And Sy is certainly a character on the outside looking in. Nielsen observes, "What struck me was that feeling when you're 15 years old and you think, 'If I could just be that person, or have that money or whatever, then my life would be perfect.' Then you grow up and realize that there is no such thing as perfect. That is one of the things Sy needs to realize."

Vachon observes that it is the fact that Sy seems so ordinary that is also disturbing. "What Robin achieves with the character is making you wonder about him, and feel for him, and at the same time, be kind of disgusted by what he is doing."

"And disgusted," Koffler adds, "because everyone has experienced Sy moments; the inability to connect with other people, of always being a little off, that kind of loneliness. The trick to Sy is making him sympathetic, without making him saccharin and that's something that Robin's really managed."

Williams adds, "We talked about the character and that he views himself not as an evil character, just as a man who is righteous in his own way. A man who views himself almost like he is doing good, in a bizarre way."

Playing the role of Detective Van Der Zee - the determined, yet compassionate police detective who tracks Sy down - is critically acclaimed actor Eriq La Salle. La Salle sees the film as an exploration of "what it means to be damaged, what it means to be lonely and alone, what it means to be in such need of basic love that you have to create an imaginary world for yourself and that you have to kidnap someone else's life just to feel whole and complete." He continues, "It's one of those films that should really make us all count our blessings."

As for Williams' own take on the course his character chooses, "He lives alone because of an inability to connect, to be the warmest guy in the world. He's disconnected on some levels, hence the fascination with precision. Does he come away a better human being? He's a different human being because of the things that have happened to him. He acted something out very much from within himself. I don't think he's the same person in the end, it's not the same man..."

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Sy Parrish and the world he lives in have a look that is very distinctive, created with vivid images by Romanek and the team of Production Designer Tom Foden (THE CELL), Director of Photography Jeff Cronenweth (FIGHT CLUB) and Costume Designer Arianne Phillips (HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH), all with whom Romanek had worked previously on music videos.

The first-unit shoot lasted 48 days, a third of which were spent in a soon-to-be-demolished Office Depot in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, in which Foden created Savmart, the store that would be the foundation of Sy Parrish's domain. Robin Williams describes, "The Savmart store is like hyper reality. It's like a lot of those big market-type stores with surreal abundance, and amongst that he sits in this little corner."

Cronenweth says, "One of the biggest challenges was keeping the Savmart visually interesting while not drifting too far from reality." To do so, he explains, "We developed a lighting design that provided a beautiful quality of light while also visually driving the story through the shape and symmetry of the shots." Robin Williams explains, "It's designed to be Sy's world and he is a creature that blends into the environment, the clothes, the hair, everything."

Contrasting Sy's stark reality, Williams states, "In the outside world Sy stands out, especially when you get near the Yorkins' house, which is very warm and incredibly beautiful, almost painfully beautiful because it is his idealized home."

Foden achieved the contrasts through color and texture. Whereas the Yorkins' house - located in Brentwood, California - is filled with rich golds, yellows and reds, Sy's apartment - built on a soundstage - was a drab blending of cool grays and tans. Foden explains, "It was a matter of heaven, purgatory and hell. With the Yorkins' house representing a place of dreams and ideals, the store a place of idle distraction, and Sy's apartment a laboratory of loneliness and isolation."

The visual style of the film extends into the very specific look of each of the character's costumes, created by Costume Designer Arianne Phillips. She describes her goal, "To create a reality that flowed and was believable and sensitive to the subject matter. It was a very minimalist approach. I really tried to make exacting quiet choices because the film has a quiet elegance. I wanted the clothes to reflect that as well as make sense with the production design and the way it was lit and these really powerful performances."

As with all of his music videos, Romanek worked in collaboration with the production design team, the costume designer and the director of photography to create an image palette and overall visual point of reference around which the film would revolve. Comments Phillips, "It becomes a melding of the minds. We had all worked with Mark before so we understood the process...It's a lot of talking and communicating and meetings and showing ideas." Cronenweth continues, "Working with Mark is a collaborative effort in the truest sense of the word."

The team developed back-stories for each character, which Phillips used as a springboard in designing their specific looks. She explains Romanek's vision of Sy, "He wanted to create something iconic, like Travis Bickle from TAXI DRIVER. You always remember him with that mohawk and the army fatigue jacket... that's what Mark was after with Sy, because Sy is `everyman.'"

Phillips original intent was to outfit Sy in "everyman classics" like Sans-a-belt pants, polos and windbreakers, but soon found that even the selections at WalMart were too fashion-conscious for Sy, who she describes as "devoid of any aesthetic expression... They just stopped making things like that," she explains. As a result, Phillips designed Sy's wardrobe, "We made items that were virtually colorless. There's no real color in Sy's environment. We were very myopic about that."

The contrast of Sy's world is that of the Yorkins'. Phillips describes, "they live this upscale consumer lifestyle, they drive the Mercedes SUV, they live in the designer house with all the accoutrements." In terms of their fashion, Phillips details, "The Yorkins are all about luxury and style and status, while Sy is all about poly-blends, Velcro and function." To fully project this image, Phillips outfitted Connie Nielsen's character, Nina Yorkin, in designer brands like Jil Sander, Helmut Lang and Dolce & Gabbana. Both Nina and Will, played by Michael Vartan, were swathed in rich, luxurious textures, lots of browns and earth tones.

As Vartan observes while on set, "I'm wearing all brown today. There's not an ounce of anything else but brown, it's very monochromatic. Everything is painted in this perfect picture. It also has to do with the fact that it's shown from Sy's point of view, which is, at times, more of a fantasy than anything real. This family seemingly has everything together...even the dog matches the furniture," he laughs. And that's the catch Phillips explains, "They live this superficial life, everything's beautiful on the surface and not so behind it..."

ABOUT THE CAST

ROBIN WILLIAMS (Seymour "Sy" Parrish)

ONE HOUR PHOTO marks Robin Williams' third feature film released in 2002. Previously he starred opposite Al Pacino in Christopher Nolan's INSOMNIA and in Danny DeVito's DEATH TO SMOOCHY.

Williams received both the Best Supporting Actor Academy AwardR and the Screen Actors Guild ActorR award for his compassionate, intelligent portrayal of Dr. Sean McGuire in the 1997 film GOOD WILL HUNTING.

His first feature film was Robert Altman's POPEYE in 1980. Audiences then embraced a more poignant Williams in THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP, followed by Paul Mazursky's MOSCOW ON THE HUDSON.

Williams received Golden Globe Awards for his unforgettable performances in MRS. DOUBTFIRE and THE FISHER KING and also earned a Special Achievement Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for his vocal contributions as Genie in the animated blockbuster feature ALADDIN.

First capturing the attention of television audiences when he guest-starred as Mork on the hit sit-com "Happy Days," Williams was quickly signed for the spin-off series "Mork & Mindy." Williams, who began his career as a stand-up comedian, has won four GrammyR Awards, including one for "Robin Williams: Live at the Met" on HBO, the culmination of a 23-city SRO tour. He also won EmmyR Awards for the television specials, "Carol, Carl, Whoopi and Robin" and "ABC Presents A Royal Gala." On July 14, 2002, Williams returned to HBO for "Robin Williams: Live from Broadway," his first live comedy special in more than 16 years.

He is active in several humanitarian organizations, and has been a primary force in "Comic Relief," an annual benefit to aid the homeless, which has raised America's consciousness, and $50 million to date.

CONNIE NIELSEN (Nina Yorkin)

Connie Nielsen is best known for her star-making portrayal of Princess Lucilla opposite Russell Crowe's Maximus in the 2001 Academy Award-winning GLADIATOR.

In the suspense thriller, DEMONLOVER, Nielsen stars as an industrial spy in a corporate acquisition war. The film, which premiered at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, was directed by Olivier Assayas and also stars Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon.

In 2000, Nielsen starred as an astronaut who is part of the first manned mission to Mars in the Brian De Palma space odyssey, MISSION TO MARS, opposite Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins and Don Cheadle.

REINHOLD HEIL & JOHNNY KLIMEK (Composers)

After individually building music careers as diverse as their countries of origin, German-born Reinhold Heil and Australian Johnny Klimek began working together on feature films. The first feature film scored by the duo was Tom Tykwer's WINTER SLEEPERS, soon followed by Tykwer's RUN LOLA RUN and THE PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR.

YOU'RE DEAD, directed by Guy Ferland; and Ernest Dickerson's (writer of MALCOLM X) CONFESSIONS OF A CAMPUS BOOKIE.

Prior to film composing, Heil amassed numerous gold and platinum albums for playing in the Nina Hagen Band and Spliff (whose star was Johnny Klimek's older brother, Alf). In 1983, Heil produced German singer Nena's worldwide hit "99 Red Balloons," as well as albums for the Rainbirds and British recording artist Kim Wilde.

In the late 80s, Klimek began producing albums of underground Berlin artists and became involved in the electronic music scene.

He also produced and co-wrote for groundbreaking artists of the techno scene like Blake Baxter, Paul van Dyk, Laurent Garnier, Gudrun Gut's Ocean Club featuring Blixa Bargeld, Dr. Motte and many others.

He also created several extremely popular and award-winning shows at KCRW, including Man In The Moon, a unique blend of music and spoken word hosted by Liza Richardson and syndicated by the MTV Radio Network. Morning Becomes Eclectic, hosted by Douridas, broke artists like Beck, Gillian Welch, The Cranberries and PJ Harvey.

While still in his KCRW role, Douridas' quest for the best in music took him down some side roads. In February of 1994, Geffen Records enlisted Chris to identify and recruit new artists as an A&R consultant, bringing to the label the bands Remy Zero and That Dog. Two years later, he moved on to handle A&R at DreamWorks Records where he brought in The Eels and the Propellerheads, among other acts.
