Description

[Machine Translation] Starring Mia Wasikowska. The miracle of life given to us by the sea---a story of the bond between a mother and her daughter, depicted with the beauty of images colored in dazzling turquoise blue. Australia is home to numerous natural heritage sites, including the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef area, with incomparably magnificent landscapes and unique ecosystems. From this country in the southern hemisphere, with which Japan and Australia have a rich exchange in various aspects such as politics, economy, and culture, comes a human drama filled with dazzling brilliance. It is a moving story of the bond between a mother and daughter nurtured by the turquoise sea, spun with a message of environmental protection. Directed by Robert Connolly, whose Crime Suspense "Thirst and Falsehood" was released in Japan in 2022 to critical acclaim, this film is the realization of a dream for Connolly, who had been fascinated by Tim Winton's original novel published in 1997 and had been longing for a film version. This film is the realization of that dream. The ensemble cast of internationally acclaimed Australian talent is also not to be missed. Abby is played by Mia Wasikowska, who has appeared in the films of such master filmmakers as Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, David Cronenberg, and Guillermo del Toro after her breakout role in "Alice in Wonderland. She delicately portrays Abby's emotional state as she tries to find a better future with the emotional support of her bond with her mother and her connection with nature. Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill) plays Dora, a mother full of vitality, and Eric Bana, who starred in and produced Connolly's previous film, Thirst and Falsehood, appears as Macca, a fisherman with whom the mother and son share a bond. The two rising stars Ariel Donoghue and Ilsa Fogg, who play 8-year-old and 15-year-old Abby, respectively, bring a fresh vibrancy to the film. --Abby Jackson is a young marine biologist who returns to her hometown of Longboat Bay, a seaside town in Western Australia, after receiving news that her mother Dora has suffered a stroke. Fortunately, Dora's condition is mild and she is discharged from the hospital. She returns to her home on a hill overlooking the beautiful ocean, but she has lost all ability to speak. Abby decides to stay at home for a while to take care of Dora, and memories of her childhood, when she was always with her mother, come back to her mind...

Description in Japanese

ブルーバック あの海を見ていた / 洋画

ミア・ワシコウスカ主演。海がくれた人生の奇跡とは――― まばゆいターコイズブルーに彩られた映像美とともに描き出す母と娘の絆の物語。世界最大の珊瑚礁地帯グレートバリアリーフを始めとする数多くの自然遺産があり、比類なきほどの雄大な風景、独自の生態系が広がるオーストラリア。政治、経済、文化など、さまざまな面で日本との交流が盛んなこの南半球の国から、まばゆい輝きに満ちたヒューマン・ドラマが届けられた。ターコイズブルーの海に育まれた母と娘の絆の物語を、環境保護のメッセージをこめて紡ぎ上げた感動作である。監督を務めたのは、2022年に日本でも公開されたクライム・サスペンス『渇きと偽り』が好評を博したロバート・コノリー。1997年に出版されたティム・ウィントンの原作小説に魅了され、長らく映画化を熱望してきたコノリーにとって、本作はその夢を叶えたプロジェクトとなった。国際的に活躍するオーストラリアの実力派キャストによるアンサンブルも見逃せない。アビーを演じるのは、『アリス・イン・ワンダーランド』で脚光を浴びたのち、ジム・ジャームッシュ、パク・チャヌク、デヴィッド・クローネンバーグ、ギレルモ・デル・トロといった名だたる巨匠、鬼才の作品に出演してきたミア・ワシコウスカ。母との絆、自然との結びつきを心の支えに、よりよき未来をたぐり寄せようとするアビーの心模様を繊細に表現した。そして『サイレントヒル』のラダ・ミッチェルがバイタリティ溢れる母ドラを演じ、コノリー監督の前作『渇きと偽り』で主演・プロデューサーを務めたエリック・バナが、母子と心を通わせる漁師マッカ役で登場する。さらに8歳と15歳のアビーをそれぞれ演じたふたりの新星、アリエル・ドノヒューとイルサ・フォグが、映画にみずみずしい躍動感を吹き込んでいる。 ――若き海洋生物学者のアビー・ジャクソンは、母親ドラが脳卒中で倒れたとの知らせを受け、故郷である西オーストラリアの海辺の町ロングボート・ベイに帰ってくる。幸いにも症状は軽く退院したドラは、美しい海を一望できる高台の自宅に戻るが、言葉をまったく発しなくなっていた。そんなドラを世話するため、しばらく実家にとどまることにしたアビーの脳裏には、いつも母と一緒だった少女時代の記憶が蘇る・・・。
