・偲ぶ会にて 　先日、映画の東宝スタジオサービスの社長さんから、突然お手紙をいただいた。お手紙とはいっても、特別な内容のものではなく、先ごろ亡くなった高峰秀子さんの「偲ぶ会」があるので、出席しないかというお誘いであった。 　私は自著『俺に似たひと』の中で、高峰秀子に触れ、彼女への偏愛を少しだけ語った。くだんの社長は、私の本を読んでくれていて、高峰ファンの私にお声を掛けていただいたというわけである。当日、私はどんな往年の俳優が集まるのかと、ほとんどミーハー気分で会場へ出かけた。 　会場は、スタジオにステージを拵え、椅子を配したにわか作りの劇場になっており、舞台の正面には小さなスクリーンが配置されていた。思っていたとおり、司葉子や、星百合子、八千草薫、宝田明などスクリーンでしかお目にかかれないスターの顔が揃った。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

フェデリコ・フェリーニ監督の映画『カビリアの夜』は、一九五七年に製作・公開されている。その前年、日本では売春防止法が制定され、以後、日本文化の一翼を担った遊郭が消えていった。皮肉にも、この年、品川遊郭を舞台にした川島雄三の傑作『幕末太陽伝』が公開されている。前年に東調布第三小学校に入学した私は、七歳のケツの青いガキで、世界は、自分の前に無限に広がる海のように単純で、偉大だった。 　七歳の子供には、世の中には、男と女がいて、昼と夜の間には人間の数だけの争い事や悩みがあり、多くの人間たちは空腹や貧乏、抑圧や裏切りに耐えながら生きているなんてことは、わかるはずもなかった。 『カビリアの夜』の主人公は、カビリアというローマの娼婦である。(本文より)内田樹&平川克美の「大人の条件」はこちらから→https://yakan-hiko.com/uchida.html

The gifted filmmaker, corduroy activist and amateur dentist, Richard Ayoade, first chanced upon a copy of The Two-Hander Trilogy by Harauld Hughes in a second-hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the author's photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughes's writing, which encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published.

The animations of Japan's Studio Ghibli are among the most respected in the movie industry.

劇中、主人公である人間の少年・九太にとって剣の師匠となる「バケモノ」の熊徹が、卵かけごはんを豪快に食べるシーンがある。 だが九太は、生で卵を食した事がない。「うえっ」となりながらも、そこを生理的に乗り越える事で、彼は人間でありながら「バケモノ」の弟子になるという事を、自らの固い意志として受け入れていく。 アニメーションだから、絵に描かれた黄色い卵かけご飯は、実においしそうに見える。だが九太はそれを、吐き気と戦いながら食べ続けるのである。 ここは監督・細田守による、「アニメの嘘」に対する自覚的な姿勢があるのではないかと思った。（本文より)切通理作の「映画の友よ」はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/risaku.html

Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been intrigued by the extremes of human experience. From his early movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes.
