...He enjoyed overwhelming popularity and high acclaim in Japan in particular, and films such as The Carrot (1932), The White Virgin (1934), To the Ends of the Earth (1935), Our Companions (1936), Nostalgia and The Ballroom Diary (both 1937), and At the End of the Road (1939) are remembered by many as masterpieces of French cinema. During World War II, he went to America and made films such as Feast of the Fates (1942), known as a masterpiece of anthology films. After the war, he returned to Europe and continued to direct in France, England, and Germany, but he only managed to save face with the French-Italian co-production Don Camillo (1952). Especially after the "Nouvelle Vague," he came to be seen as a "craftsman director" left behind by the trends of postwar society. His past successes are attributed to the power of screenplays by Charles Spaak (1903-75) and Henri Janson (1900-70), and Duvivier's greatest achievement is said to have been creating the image of Jean Gabin as a star, so low is his reputation in France.

…とくに日本では圧倒的な人気と高い評価で,《にんじん》(1932),《白き処女地》(1934),《地の果てを行く》(1935),《我等の仲間》(1936),《望郷》《舞踏会の手帖》(ともに1937),《旅路の果て》(1939)などはフランス映画の珠玉の名作として多くの人々に記憶されている。 第2次世界大戦中はアメリカに渡って,オムニバス映画の傑作として知られる《運命の饗宴》(1942)などをつくり,戦後ヨーロッパにもどってフランス,イギリス,ドイツで監督をつづけたが,フランス・イタリア合作の《陽気なドン・カミロ》(1952)で面目を保ったにすぎず,とくに〈ヌーベル・バーグ〉以後は,戦後社会の時代の流れに取り残された〈職人作家〉とみなされるに至り,かつての成功作はシャルル・スパーク(1903‐75)やアンリ・ジャンソン(1900‐70)のシナリオの力によるものであり,デュビビエの最大の功績はジャン・ギャバンのスターとしてのイメージをつくりだしたことであるという程度に片づけられてしまっているほどフランスでは評価が低い。【柏倉 昌美】。… ※「《運命の饗宴》」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
