The terrible burden of grief is laid bare in The Thing with Feathers, a gloomy but undeniably touching drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
悲傷的沉重負擔在《 羽毛怪人 》中赤裸裸展現,這是一部陰鬱卻無可否認感人的劇情片,由班奈狄克·康柏拜區主演。

The celebrated source is Max Porter’s prize-winning 2015 debut novella, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, which was previously turned into a play by Enda Walsh that Cillian Murphy headlined in 2019 at London’s Barbican.
備受讚譽的來源是麥克斯·波特(Max Porter)2015 年獲獎的處女作中篇小說 《Grief Is the Thing with Feathers》, 該作品曾被恩達·沃爾什改編成舞台劇,2019 年由基利安·墨菲(Cillian Murphy)在倫敦巴比肯劇院擔任主秀。

Here, the story is adapted by Dylan Southern, a first-time feature director whose previous work includes No Distance Left to Run (2010) and Shut Up and Play the Hits (2012) – documentaries about the bands Blur and LCD Soundsystem, respectively.
故事由首次執導長片導演迪倫·薩瑟恩改編,他之前的作品包括《No Distance Left to Run》(2010)和 《Shut Up and Play the Hits》(2012)——分別是關於樂團 Blur 和 LCD Soundsystem 的紀錄片。

This claustrophobic, intense work, haunted by the shadow of death, could not be more different.
這部令人窒息、強烈的作品,被死亡的陰影所籠罩,截然不同。

Known only as “Dad”, Cumberbatch plays a children’s author, illustrator and father of two young boys (played by siblings Richard and Henry Boxall). Widowed after the sudden loss of his wife, he must now cope with the mundane realities of parenting them.
康柏拜區僅被稱為「爸爸」,飾演兒童作家、插畫家及兩個年幼男孩(由理查德與亨利·博克索爾兄弟飾演)的父親。在妻子突然去世後成為寡婦,他現在必須面對育兒的日常瑣事。
