Theatre Cocoonでは、TIFFのメイン企画でもある「コンペティション」の中から、合計6本の作品が上映され、最終日の26日にはその中から選ばれたグランプリ作品が上映される予定だ。もちろんその全てに目を通すのも楽しいが、特に今回は、10月25日(土)の15:20から上映されるアジアンプレミア作品『パブリック・エナミー・ナンバー1(Part1&2)』に注目したい。本作は、カーペンターの『ジョン・カーペンターの要塞警察(ようさいけいさつ) 』(1976)のリメイク作品『アサルト13 要塞警察』(2005)を監督したことで知られるジャン=フランソワ・リシェ監督の最新作。『アサルト13』は、ハリウッド級の銃撃戦に、監視しているような冷静な視点が合わさって絶妙な効果を生んでいた。今回の作品の見所は、主演のヴァンサン・カッセル(「憎しみ」「アレックス」)を始め、ジェラール・ドパルデュー(「終電車」)、リュディヴィーヌ・サニエ(「8人の女たち」)、マチュー・アマルリック(「潜水服は蝶の夢を見る」)など、現在の仏映画を支えるスターたちが総出演している点。上映時間は246分と長く、現在日本での配給は未決定である。当日は休憩を差し込んでPart1 とPart2が一挙に上映されるとのこと。フランス映画ファンなら足を運ばざるを得ない。
