Du Cote De Robinson / Le Pere Noel A Les Yeux Bleus / Une Sale Histoire [4K / 2K 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 has left its mark on 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 Japanese DVD version is now out of print and at a premium, and the latest 4K/2K restored master is the long-awaited re-release on DVD in Japan! The film was conceived based on the misfortune that befell Eustache's wife, Jeanette Durrot, when she and Eustache quarreled and went to town, only to be followed by a pair of ruffians who pestered her. Legend has it that the film was shot using money stolen from a safe in the office of Cahiers du Cinema, where Durrot worked as a secretary at the time. The protagonists are a pair of young men who lead self-indulgent lives, pretending to be tough guys but lacking in dignity. They try to seduce a woman they meet while wandering the streets, but when she doesn't take them up on their offer, they steal her purse to spite her. The film makes use of guerrilla-style filming in the streets of Paris in the manner of Nouvelle Vague films, but the city is transformed into a cold and boring place where it is difficult to live, and the "realistic" portrayal of the characters also shows the rise of a new generation of filmmakers. Santa Claus Has Blue Eyes (4K restored version) -- Together with Mama and the Prostitute and My Little Lovers, this film forms an autobiographical trilogy by Eustache. It was shot using unused film from "Man and Woman" ('66), courtesy of Godard. It stars Leaud, who also starred in "Man, Woman". The setting is Narbonne in southwestern France during the Christmas season. Daniel, a poor young man, wants a duffle coat to make himself popular, so he dresses up as Santa Claus and takes a job as a model for a photo shoot on a street corner. He soon realizes that his disguise makes it easier to pick up women... The narrative, which uses voice-over to depict the dull days of a young man without a regular job, is exquisite, as his comical routine soon turns to pathos and his hopes to disillusionment. The film is dedicated to Charles Trenet, a national singer born in Narbonne. An Unpleasant Story" (Parts 1 and 2) (2K restored version) - Jean-Noel Pic, a friend of Eustache, tells an obscene, filthy, and unpleasant story to the people sitting around him. When the film was released, it was accompanied by a note saying that it was "a film that women do not like," and the press also voiced their anger and embarrassment. The film is divided into two parts, with the first part being fiction and the second part being a documentary, evoking the constant conflict between record and fiction, reality and its reproduction, and real life and film. Includes a booklet explaining the film and postcards. Note: This product does not include "Job" from the Blu-ray of TCBD-1601 "Bad Companions/Santa Claus' Eyes are Blue/Unpleasant Stories/Job [4K/2K Restored Version]".

「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/2Kレストアマスターで映画ファン待望の国内再DVD化!! ■『わるい仲間』【4Kレストア版】――ユスターシュの妻ジャネット・ドゥロにふりかかった災難(ユスターシュと喧嘩して街へ出たドゥロに、二人組の無骨者がつきまとって彼女を困らせた)に基づいて構想された作品。当時ドゥロが秘書として働いていた、カイエ・デュ・シネマ誌のオフィスにある金庫から盗んだカネを使って撮られたとの伝説がある。主人公はタフガイ気取りで品位を欠く、自堕落な生活を送る若者二人組だ。彼らは街をぶらぶらするうちに知り合った女性を口説こうとするが、なびいてこないので腹いせに彼女の財布を盗む。ヌーヴェル・ヴァーグ映画的な街なかでのゲリラ撮影を活用しながらも、ここでのパリは生きづらい寒々しく退屈な街へと変貌しており、登場人物の「リアルな」描出ともども新世代作家の台頭を印象づける。 ■『サンタクロースの眼は青い』【4Kレストア版】――『ママと娼婦』『ぼくの小さな恋人たち』と併せて、ユスターシュの自伝的三部作を形成する一本。ゴダール提供による『男性・女性』(66)の未使用フィルムを使って撮られた。主演も『男性・女性』のレオー。舞台となるのは、クリスマス・シーズンの仏南西部ナルボンヌ。貧しい青年ダニエルは、モテるためのダッフルコート欲しさにサンタクロースの扮装をして街角に立ち、写真撮影のモデルを務める仕事を引き受ける。やがて彼は、変装した方がナンパに好都合であることに気づくが・・・ヴォイスオーヴァーを活用して定職のない若者の冴えない日々を描きつつ、やがて彼の滑稽な日常が悲哀へと、期待が幻滅へと転調する語り口が絶妙。ナルボンヌ生まれの国民的歌手シャルル・トレネに捧げられている。 ■『不愉快な話』(第1部/第2部)【2Kレストア版】――ユスターシュの友人、ジャン=ノエル・ピックがある猥褻で、不潔で、不愉快な〈体験談〉を自身の周囲に座る人々に語って聞かせるという本作は、公開時には「女性が好まない映画」との注意書きが添えられたというし、マスコミからも怒りや当惑の声が寄せられたとのこと。映画は二部構成のかたちをとっており、第一部がフィクション、第二部がドキュメンタリーの体裁で、記録と虚構、現実とその複製、あるいは実人生と映画の絶え間ない相克を思わせる。作品解説ブックレット、ポストカード封入。※ご注意: TCBD-1601「わるい仲間/サンタクロースの眼は青い/不愉快な話/求人 [4K/2Kレストア版]」 Blu-ray収録の、『求人』は、本製品には収録されておりません。
