ザコンフェッション

イギリスの北部ヨークシャーで起きた失踪事件の当事者が登場するドキュメンタリー。ヨークシャーの訛りはあいかわらず強烈ですが、ドキュメンタリーなので説明する場面がほとんど。自身の邪念をとりさり、心を無の境地に置けば何とか対応できるレベルです。非常に疲れますが2つしかエピソードがなかったのはラッキー。

しかしこの第一容疑者の夫はこのドキュメンタリー制作のためにいくらお金を積まれたのでしょうね。最後には警察側の取り調べ手順に問題があったとして、推定無罪を勝ち取るものの、全体的にこの夫が犯人であることは間違いないような流れですね。あのおどろおどろしいバックの音楽がそれを裏付けています。
