岡本喜八監督『江分利満氏の優雅な生活』(1963)
くだをまいて、小説となり生活となる。
江分利満氏の圧倒的な哀愁と存在感。
岡本喜八の奇術師のような演出が眩しい。
戦争が自分の家を繁栄させてしまったこと、
そして人を壊したこと、
江分利満氏の時代の回顧がまた小説家として生活者として彼を存続させていく。
"The Elegant Life of Mr. Ebunrimitsu" (1963) directed by Kihachi Okamoto
His ramblings become novels and life.
Ebunrimitsu's overwhelming melancholy and presence.
Kihachi Okamoto's magician-like direction is dazzling.
Ebunrimitsu's recollections of his time, how the war prospered his family,
and destroyed people,
keep him going as a novelist and a person.
