Description

[Machine Translation] A documentary about the world of old people living in the mountains of Slovakia, produced in Czechoslovakia in 1972 under the Communist regime, but banned by the authorities for 16 years after its completion. The Fatla Mountains in Slovakia. Through interviews with these people, the film painstakingly depicts the daily lives of elderly people over 70 years old who make their living by farming and shepherding in the barren land and harsh natural conditions. The film depicts the daily lives of these people, including an elderly man who is passionate about making marionette dolls that move with amazing precision; a shepherd who served in World War I and understands several languages; a man who built his own house while living on his knees for 25 years because of a crippled leg; and an elderly man who reads the Bible to his daffodils. The film questions the meaning of love, loneliness, dreams, labor, and life, and creates a philosophical world about life and death. After the export ban was lifted in 1988, the film was screened at film festivals around the world and won various awards. In Japan, it was screened as a special invitation film at the first Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival in 1989, and was released theatrically three years later in May 1992. A commentary leaflet is enclosed.

Description in Japanese

百年の夢 [デジタルリマスター版] / 洋画 (ドキュメンタリー)

スロバキアの山間で暮らす老人たちの世界を描いたドキュメンタリー。1972年、共産党政権下のチェコスロバキアで製作されたが、当局によって完成から16年にわたって輸出禁止とされた一作。スロバキアのファトラ山地。痩せた土地と厳しい自然条件のなかで、農業や羊飼いを生業として暮らしている70歳以上の老人たちの日常生活を、当人たちへのインタビューを通して丹念に描き出していく。驚くほど精緻に動くからくり人形作りに熱中する老人、第1次世界大戦に従軍し、数ヶ国語を理解できるという羊飼い、足が不自由なため25年間、膝を使って暮らしながら自力で家を建築した男性、ともに暮らすめんどりに聖書を読み聞かせる老人など、登場する人びとそれぞれの姿から、愛や孤独、夢、労働と人生の意義を問い、生と死についての哲学的な世界をつくりあげた。輸出禁止措置が解かれた1988年に世界各地の映画祭で上映されてさまざまな賞を受賞。日本では、1989年の第1回山形国際ドキュメンタリー映画祭で特別招待作品として上映され、その3年後の1992年5月に劇場公開された。2022年12月、デジタルリマスター版で再公開された。解説リーフレット封入。
