アルゴ
|
２００７年の初監督作品『ボーン・ベイビー・ゴーン』、続く２０１０年の監督第２作目『ザ・タウン』と高い評価を受け、そして２０１２年、本作『アルゴ』でアカデミー作品賞を受賞した。
思えば、１９９７年のまだ無名時代、マット・デイモンと共同で脚本を書き出演した『グッド･ウィル・ハンティング/旅立ち』でアカデミー脚本賞を受賞したベン・アフレック。
『グッドウィル～』で話題をさらった後、『アルマゲドン(1998)』や『レインディア･ゲーム(2000)』、『パール・ハーバー(2001)』などのヒット作もあったけど、その後はいまひとつの時期が続いた。しかし、2007年、『ボーン・ベイビー～』で監督デビューを果たし監督としての才能を認められ今日に至る。改めて、ベン･アフレックってすごいなあと感じるところだ。
イラン革命の１９７９年、アメリカ大使館に人質として囚われた５２人の内、カナダ大使公邸に匿われた６名の外交官を救出するために、ＣＩＡ工作本部技術部のトニー・メンデス（ベン・アフレック）は、ウソのＳＦ映画『ＡＲＧＯ』をでっちあげ６人をキャストにして国外脱出を図る・・・。今週はそんな『アルゴ』を観てみよう。
Argo is a 2012 historical drama thriller film directed by Ben Affleck.
