一剑独尊

1940年的日本神户，战云密布，太平洋战争蓄势待发。而养尊处优、锦衣玉食的福原智子（苍井优 饰）似乎并未受到外界影响，她和经商的丈夫福原优作（高桥一生 饰）过着洋派的富裕生活，闲暇里在优作导演的电影里出演女主角，如此悠哉，令人欣羡。可是自从丈夫和侄子文雄去伪满洲国拍摄电影回来后，似乎一切发生了改变。优作沉默寡言，若有所思。智子的青梅竹马——穿上军装的太治（东出昌大 饰）阴郁沉稳，且咄咄逼人。隐藏的秘密逐渐被揭开，智子震惊地发现优作在伪满洲国拍到了如此可怕的东西，而优作似乎正在做着一个威胁全日本的决定。这个单纯的女子该何去何从……本片原为NHK制作的剧集，之后重新编辑的电影版荣获2020年威尼斯影展最佳导演银狮奖。

很久很久以前，乌鸦不是现在这副模样，而是生有一身漂亮羽毛和一副美妙歌喉的“美丽鸟” ，也正是因为此，她自认高别的鸟一等，整天只喜欢在大伙面前傲慢地唱唱跳跳，什么事都不肯做。树叶黄了，大伙劝她搭窝好过冬时，她也不做理会。大雪纷飞的冬天，大伙都躲在温暖的窝里吃食，只有她立在野外光秃秃的树枝上打哆嗦。突然，她发现了一堆野火，便围着它边烤火边跳舞，一个不小心，她的羽毛被火烧着。扑腾一番，“美丽鸟”变成了“黑乌鸦”。

The Deserted Archipelago was my first independently directed and produced film. The film won the Grand Prix at the Nyon International Film Festival and garnered considerable attention both overseas and in Japan. The film follows an extremely simple story of a plain boy who matures into manhood while constantly manipulated by nuns. But woven into this narrative are my own experiences and the history of postwar Japan as well as a series of fantasies. The result is a multifaceted and multilayered objet, the birth of a newly sur-realistic filmmaking. On August 15th, the day the war ended, I was in the third year of primary school. That day, when the reality that I had known turned completely upside down, I was saddled with the trauma of no longer being able to believe in anything. Searching here and there for some kind of spiritual salvation, I finally found the existentialism of Albert Camus. From there, I was able to build up my own kind of existentialism and this film is best understood as based in that “Kanai Katsu Existentialism.” The film was praised by European film scholars Max Tessier and Tony Rayns and was screened as part of “Eiga: 25 Years of Japanese Film,” a special program at the 1984 Edinburgh International Film Festival.
