Mes Petites Amoureuses [4K Restored Ver.]

[Machine Translation] The time has come to knock on the door of the "cursed filmmaker" who passed away with the words, "To wake the dead, you must knock hard. French filmmaker Jean Eustache became the darling of the age with his masterpiece "Mama and the Whore," which will remain in the history of cinema. In 2024, a 4K digitally remastered version of "Mama and the Whore" was screened in Paris, New York, and other cities, and the world was again astonished by its poignant beauty. The world was again astonished by its tragic beauty. The world was again astonished by its tragic beauty, and even in Japan, where his films have rarely been seen, the full picture, shrouded in mystery, is finally being revealed. The original domestic DVD version has been out of print and is now at a premium, and the latest 4K restored master is the long-awaited re-release on DVD in Japan! --The film is about Daniel, a 13-year-old boy living with his kind-hearted grandmother in Pessac, who eventually moves to Narbonne, where his mother lives with his stepfather, and gives up his studies due to financial difficulties to become an apprentice at a motorcycle sales and repair store. This is his second and last feature film. The title is taken from a poem of the same name by Rimbaud. While "all my films put me on the margins of society from the start," according to the filmmaker, this film is about "a child's transition from an ordinary life to a dropout's." One of the themes of the film is the Eucharistic Adoration. One of the themes of the film is Daniel's sexual development, which begins with his first experience of the opposite sex on the day of communion. This taciturn film with its semi-stylistic direction, combined with the delicate color cinematography, continues to be one of the exceptional brilliants of Eustache's oeuvre. Includes a booklet explaining the film and a postcard.

「死者を起こすには、強くノックすること」そう遺して世を去った"呪われた映像作家"の扉を、いよいよ叩くときが来た。映画史に残る傑作『ママと娼婦』で、一躍時代の寵児となったフランスの映画監督、ジャン・ユスターシュ。しかし度重なる奇行、自己破壊的な行動が影響してか、その後1本の長編とわずかな中・短編を手がけただけで、1981年、42歳にして拳銃自殺を遂げた。2024年、4Kデジタルリマスターで甦った『ママと娼婦』がパリ、ニューヨークをはじめ各地で上映され、その痛ましいまでの美しさに世界は再び驚愕した。そしてほとんど彼の作品を観ることができなかったわが国でも、謎に包まれた全貌がついに明らかになる。既発の国内版DVDは廃盤プレミア化しており、最新の4Kレストアマスターで映画ファン待望の国内再DVD化!! ――ペサックで心優しい祖母と二人暮らしをしていた13歳の少年ダニエルが、やがて母が継父と住むナルボンヌに移住し、経済事情から学業を諦めて二輪車販売・修理店で見習いとなるが・・・。二本目にして最後の長編監督作。題名はランボーの同名の詩から採られている。本作にはユスターシュの少年時代の記憶が多分に投影されており、作家によれば、「自分の映画はどれも最初から社会ののけ者の中に身を置く」一方、本作だけは「ある子どもの、普通の生活から脱落者の境遇への移行」を描いている。主題の一つは、聖体拝領の日に初めて異性を意識した経験に始まる、ダニエルの性的な成長だ。半ば様式的な演出が施されたこの寡黙な映画は、繊細なカラー撮影と相まってユスターシュ作品中例外的な輝きを放ち続けている。作品解説ブックレット、ポストカード封入。
