イギリス英語をきわめたい  ·  15日 9月 2024

    ヴァランダー

    スウェーデンの推理作家ヘニング・マンケルの警察小説「クルト・ヴァランダー」シリーズを原作としたイギリスドラマ。 全員イギリス俳優ですがスウェーデンが舞台なので、イギリス地方特有の訛りは皆無。全体的には昭和のテレビ東京が昼間に流していた比較的マイナーな映画の日本語吹き替えのごとく、いたってクリアな発音。個人的には退屈。しかしそれは発音に対して。 一話完結型で全４シーズン。ただの誘拐事件かと思いきや黒幕が、アフリカ臓器売買をしていたりとスケールが大きくそして急な展開がおおいので、先が全く読めない。これってサスペンスドラマの醍醐味ですね。今回のドラマ全体にわたって、 控えめで荘厳な印象をうけました。   北欧に行ったことはないのですが、 既視感を感じました。このデジャヴな感覚は私が遠い昔に愛聴していたノルウェー出身アーティスト、ヤンガルバレクやスウェーデン出身のボボステンソンなどECMレコードから感じられる統一感のあるイメージからかもしれないです。 美しいのですが、長期滞在したら、ホームシックになること間違いなし。台湾の夜市、タイのカオサンやパタヤ、日本の盆踊り等、ワチャワチャしているほうが個人的にはなんだか落ち着きます。
