And I抦 going to start us off by talking about the biggest, most ambitious and in certain ways the most political of the fall releases that made landfall last month: Christopher Nolan抯 揑nterstellar.? 罗斯·多赛特：很高兴回来，在这个秋季档风平浪静的风暴眼时刻，我们有机会赶在圣诞的电影飓风到来之前，深吸一口气，把在感恩节前上映的所有佳片都给看了——或者你懂的，要是有孩子的话，恐怕就只得带孩子去看《马达加斯加的企鹅》(Penguins of Madagascar)了。我就从上个月上画的秋季档中最具影响力、最具企图心、从某些方面来说也最为政治的电影——克里斯托弗·诺兰(Christopher Nolan)的《星际穿越》(Interstellar)说起吧。 By way of preamble: I am not a true believer in the Church of Nolan; I抦 more like a churchgoer who appreciates the beauty of the liturgy but cocks his head skeptically during the sermon and dissents from several crucial doctrines.

Watch 揑nception?as a heist movie, and it抯 great; watch it as an exploration of dreams and the unconscious, and ?no. Likewise 揟he Dark Knight,?in which Heath Ledger抯 performance as the Joker is several degrees more brilliant than the movie抯 larger meditation on politics, leadership and terrorism. (I抦 in the small camp that actually preferred “The Dark Knight Rises.”) 让我先说明一点：我不是诺兰教的信徒；我更多是那种会去教堂领略礼拜仪式之美，但在牧师布道过程中会充满狐疑地把头歪向一侧，对
