摘要

20世纪30年代初,出现了一系列金融丑闻,涉及最高级别的欺诈和腐败,因为有才华的个人以牺牲小储户的利益为代价,在不受监管的市场上投机。其中最著名的是银行家玛特·哈瑙(Marthe Hanau)和亚历山大·斯塔维斯基(Alexandre Stavisky)(阿兰·雷奈(Alain Resnais) 1974年的电影的主角)。哈瑙的故事后来被弗朗西斯·吉罗德(Francis Girod, 1980年)讲述。这些丑闻引发了几部戏剧,其中两部在1934年被拍成了电影:《les messieurs de la sant》(皮埃尔·科隆比耶,雷姆主演)和《la Banque Nemo》(玛格丽特·维尔,维克多·布歇主演)。这两部电影有几个共同的特点:一个魅力十足、喋喋不休的男主角饰演一个不择手段的银行家,他欺骗周围的人,让他们不明智地投资自己的积蓄。这是在一位女助理的帮助下完成的。她用性引诱男人,而银行家则用言语引诱他们。每部电影的高潮都是对外国(想象中的)矿产的投资。这篇文章将展示电影的货币是如何被色情和异国情调的梦所诱惑的,而在这些诱惑之下,实际上什么都没有:流传的东西,伪装成什么,是一场壮观的明星表演中文字的力量。

Money talks: the logorrheic masquerade in two films from 1934
In the early 1930s there were a number of financial scandals, involving fraud and corruption at the highest levels, as talented individuals played unregulated markets at the expense of small savers. The best known of these involved the banker Marthe Hanau – whose story was later told in La Banquière (Francis Girod, 1980) – and Alexandre Stavisky (the subject of Alain Resnais’s 1974 film). The scandals led to several plays, two of which were made into films in 1934: Ces messieurs de la Santé (Pierre Colombier, starring Raimu) and La Banque Nemo (Marguerite Viel, starring Victor Boucher). The two films have several common features: a charismatic and garrulous male lead as the unscrupulous banker, who tricks those around him into investing their savings unwisely. This is done with help of a female assistant. She seduces the men sexually, while the banker seduces them with words. The culmination of each film is investment in (imaginary) minerals in foreign lands. This article will show how the films’ currency is the seduction of erotic and exotic dreams beneath which there is literally nothing: what circulates, masquerading as something, is the power of words in a spectacular star performance.
