フォロー・ミー

フォロー・ミーはアメリカの映画ですが、舞台はロンドンです。

 

妻の浮気を疑った会計士である夫が、探偵 クリストフォルー  を雇って妻を尾行させるのですが、この探偵が変人で曲者。

 

探偵のくせにターゲットの妻とアイコンタクトしたり、人目を引く白いコートを着ていたりと探偵としての資質を疑わせます。

 

やがて尾行している妻とプラトニックな面で精神的にお互い依存。

 

今のご時世だとストーカー扱いされてもおかしくない状況で、  にわかには信じがたいのですが、この映画の制作は１９７２年なので、当時はさもありなんということなのでしょう。

 

探偵とその依頼人の妻、両者とも社会における自分の居場所がないと感じお互い波長が合ったのでしょうね。

 

妻においては自分は透明人間であるはずなのに、窓のガラスに自身の姿が反映されているのを見て驚いたとまでの嘆き。

 

自分本位な夫と価値観が違う孤独な妻を演じています。

 

そんな隙間に クリストフォルーが入ってきてこの二人のありがちないつもの逃走劇がどうせ始まると予想していたのですが、期待は裏切られました。

 

クリストフォルー誠実な男です。

 

今回はいい意味で期待を裏切られました。

 

最後、夫が 妻の愛情を取り戻すためクリストフォルーと同じ行動をすることになったくだりは笑ってしまいます。

 

この映画の世界観はすべて クリストフォルーの突飛な行動と発言によるところ大。

 

テーマソングのフォローミーも映画のいいスパイスになって今回はおすすめの１本です。

My gay young pupil vanished. (フォロー・ミー)

Indian rope trick :  The Indian rope trick is a magic trick said to have been performed in and around India during the 19th century. In the simplest version, a long piece of rope is left in a basket and placed in an open field, usually by a fakir. The rope levitates, with no external support. A boy assistant, a jamoora, climbs the rope and then descends. A more elaborate version has the magician (or his assistant) disappearing after reaching the top of the rope, then reappearing at ground level.

Winnie Carstairs used to disappear regularly for three days every Easter. They used to call her the Indian rope. (フォロー・ミー)
