善良媽媽的朋友

　　Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery. He wants to work outdoors and be close to nature. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his last will and testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend thinks he must be dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon everyone he knows—and some he doesn’t—are crowded into his small apartment to say their last farewells.

　　Six people bound together by a traumatic experience decide to round off a year of group therapy in style. They join each other once more, traveling up to the Scottish Lowlands for a reunion weekend in a 1970s holiday let. Soon a number of mysterious and horrifying events start to expose the cracks in their relationships, and one by one they discover that trust runs but skin-deep. A night of closure turns out to be far more final than they could have anticipated.

　　本片以主人公大衛(wèi)·布萊恩架車游歷美國得克薩斯州過程中所見所聞為主線，透過一個個具有鮮明個性的小人物及發(fā)生在他們身上的故事，展示了當(dāng)?shù)厝藢τ谏詈蛺矍榈莫?dú)特理解。該片值得稱道的是將歌舞與寫實(shí)完美結(jié)合，大量旋律優(yōu)美的鄉(xiāng)村民謠,歌曲成為片中最耀眼的亮點(diǎn)，也是導(dǎo)演大衛(wèi)·布萊恩對電影藝術(shù)的創(chuàng)新之舉，是一次成功的探索。

由藤井道人執(zhí)導(dǎo)并編劇、與館博二度合作的本片《港之光》，以北陸港口小鎮(zhèn)為背景，描繪了前黑道成員“大叔”與因事故失去雙親及視力的少年幸太之間跨越十余年的友情。片中，大叔通過“某種方法”籌措資金使幸太重見光明，但彼時大叔已不在身邊。成長為青年的幸太相信著“其實(shí)大叔曾是刑警”這個小小謊言，如同追逐給予自己光明的憧憬之人般，成為了刑警。館博飾演化名三浦的“大叔”，歌舞伎界新星尾上真秀首登銀幕出演少年幸太，真榮田鄉(xiāng)敦詮釋青年幸太。
