French film. Made in 1935. Released in Japan in 1937 (Showa 12). Directed by Jacques Feydé, based on the original story by Charles Spaak, screenplay by Feydé and Bernard Simmel, art by Lazare Meisson. In 1616, the strongest Spanish army of the time invaded the small city of Boom in the small country of Flanders (now Belgium). The mayor and the other men in the city did not know what to do. However, the mayor's wife (Françoise Rosay) took the lead, and the women dealt with the invading army as best they could, allowing the soldiers to pass through safely. This is a historical comedy. The entire film is filled with irony, satire, and wit, and the magnificent beauty of the figures is reminiscent of Flemish paintings. It is a masterpiece that exudes an artistic fragrance like mellow champagne, and it was the work of a lifetime for Feydé. From the perspective of film history, this film is the most monumental work of the 1930s, as it embodied the relative perfection of expressive technology in the early days of talkies and can be said to have marked the beginning of artistic activity through film.

フランス映画。1935年作品。37年(昭和12)日本公開。監督ジャック・フェデー、原作シャルル・スパーク、脚本フェデー、ベルナール・ジンメル、美術ラザール・メールソン。1616年、小国フランドル(現在ベルギー)の小都市ボームに、当時最強のスペイン軍が侵入してきた。市長以下男どもはなすすべを知らない。しかし市長夫人(フランソアーズ・ロゼー)が音頭をとり、女たちだけで適当に侵入軍をあしらい、無事に兵隊を通過させたという歴史喜劇である。全編にまかれた皮肉、風刺、機知の豊かさ、フランドル派の絵画を思わせる堂々たる造形美、まさに芳醇(ほうじゅん)なシャンパンのような芸術的芳香が漂う佳品であり、フェデーとしても一世一代の作品である。映画史のうえからは、トーキー初期の表現技術がいちおうの完成をみせた成果がこの映画に凝結し、映画による芸術活動がここに始まったといえる、1930年代最高の記念碑的作品である。 [飯島 正] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
