しびれ
「佐々木、イン、マイマイン」「若き見知らぬ者たち」の内山拓也監督が、北村匠海を主演に迎えて撮りあげた自伝的作品。内山監督の故郷である新潟県を舞台に、自身の居場所とアイデンティティを模索する孤独な少年が、息をのむような大きな愛を知るまでの20年間を描く。 日本海沿いの町に暮らす少年・大地は、幼少期に暴君のようだった父の影響で言葉を発することができない。現在は母の亜樹と雑居ビル屋上のプレハブに暮らしているが、水商売で生計を立てる母はほとんど家に帰らず、生活も苦しい。やがて大地は亜樹とともに叔母の家に身を寄せるが、彼の居場所はどこにもなく、ひとりで過ごすうちに内気になっていく。そんなある日、父の行方を求めて生家を訪ねたことをきっかけに、大地の運命は大きく揺らぎはじめる。 主人公・大地の青年期を北村匠海が演じ、自分のもとを離れた父への静かな怒りと、母に対する憎しみと愛という相反する感情に揺れる心の内を体現。大地の母・亜樹を宮沢りえ、父・大原を永瀬正敏、大地の少年期を榎本司、加藤庵次、穐本陽月の3人が演じた。2025年・第26回東京フィルメックスのコンペティション部門で審査員特別賞を受賞。また、第76回ベルリン国際映画祭パノラマ部門にも正式出品された。
Director Takuya Uchiyama, who swept newcomer awards at film festivals with "Sasaki, In, My Mind" and continued with "Young Strangers," consistently gazing at the youth of young people resisting reality and trying to grasp something, leaving a vivid impression on the film world, releases this passionate work—an autobiographical film set in his hometown of Niigata in winter, telling the story of a boy searching for a place to belong and his identity. Playing the adolescent protagonist Daichi is Takumi Kitamura. He brilliantly embodies the quiet anger toward his father who left him and his mother, and the heart wavering between love and hatred—contradictory emotions—toward his mother who raised him single-handedly. As his mother Aki, Rie Miyazawa gives her all to portray a mother whose innocent nature creates a life that instills loneliness in Daichi, yet whose every detail reveals a certain tenderness toward her son. And as his father Ohara, Masatoshi Nagase, with full maturity, shows a man who transforms from a tyrannical figure into one living out a sorrowful remaining life. Also, as the young Daichi, Tsukasa Enomoto, Anji Kato, and Hazuki Akimoto each express the loneliness, love, and life force swirling deep in his heart with innocent yet powerful gazes, driving the entire story forward. Daichi, a boy living in a town along the Sea of Japan, stopped speaking due to the influence of his father, who was like a tyrant during his early childhood. He now lives with his mother Aki, but Aki, forced to make a living through night work, rarely comes home, and their life is hard. Eventually they move in with his aunt, but he has no place anywhere, and spending time alone, he grew introverted. Daichi decides to visit his old home in search of his father's whereabouts. From this point on, his fate is greatly shaken——— Poverty with no emotional anchor, small salvation amid the loneliness of living so as not to be found by anyone, complicated feelings toward his mother. Daichi seems to live as if being swept along, yet he never stops walking. The 20 years until he grasps a faint light and comes to know a breathtaking, immense love are depicted through a perspective rooted in realism, following the boy's figure throughout.
