重點就在括號裡電影天皇黑澤明，在1965年與1970年改編了兩部山本周五郎的小說《赤鬍子》與《沒有季節的城市》。前者片名為《赤鬍子》，但後者，黑澤明將片名改為呆傻主角模擬電車發動時的口中聲響「Dodes'ka-den」、改為《どですかでん》（台譯《電車狂》）。

.

《赤鬍子》是黑澤明的最後一部黑白古裝片，《電車狂》是他的第一部彩色電影，但六○年代到七○年代，正是日本電影大型片廠式微、獨立製片制度崛起的過渡期。拍出無數大片的電影天皇陷入低潮，兩部改編山本周五郎的電影，在這五年期間接連慘遭滑鐵盧。票房不如預期的《赤鬍子》成為他與三船敏郎合作的最後一部片，創造輝煌歷史的最佳拍檔就此別過；《電車狂》的票房失利，成為黑澤明在上映隔年自殺未遂的導火線之一。

.

時間一跳，將近六十年後，2023年，有位不怕死的創作者，選擇二度改編山本周五郎的《沒有季節的城市》。

.

據他所述，這是他三十年前讀大學時就有想法的改編計劃（順帶一提《電車狂》上映時他剛出生不久），在串流平台上架的《沒有季節的城市》，成為這位創作者少數從企劃階段就參與的作品，並且由他負責編劇與導演。

.

不同於《電車狂》外顯的悲劇調性，《沒有季節的城市》的故事背景從戰後改為311大地震災後（但劇裡刻意不說311，刻意用「納尼」一詞帶過）的，貼近當代，一集一個故事，呈現臨時住宅居民們的生活日常與光怪陸離，探討何為「正常」？什麼是「不正常」？

.

時間到了今年，2024年，這位創作者與長期合作的TBS電視台及製作人磯山晶合作新作《極度不妥！》後，再度跳脫舒適圈：來到久違沒合作的富士電視台，結合他擅長的「地域劇」類型，寫他從電視劇腳本家出道以來從沒寫過的類型：「醫療劇」。

.

在今年夏季檔登場的《新宿野戰醫院》，成為宮藤官九郎執筆的現代版《赤鬍子》。

.

別誤會，宮藤官九郎沒有直接改編山本周五郎的《赤鬍子》（但在開頭十分鐘就有提到「赤鬍子」這詞），故事舞台「聖心醫院」不是幕府時代的貧民診所，而是坐落在東洋首屈一指的紅燈區商圈「歌舞伎町」。

.

宮藤官九郎也創作與三船敏郎古裝形象天差地遠的現代赤鬍子：海外歸國、但沒有本土執照，操著一口美式岡山腔日語的野戰軍醫YOKO（小池榮子飾）；開著保時捷把妹的富二代花花公子、連傷口都縫不好的整形醫生高峰享（仲野太賀飾）。

.

而這所現代的「野戰醫院」，與赤鬍子的診所一樣，無論是誰都一視同仁收治，但除了醫治病人的奇病怪症，他們都是要來醫治社會的貧困及「無知」。

In the foreword to Richie's book A Hundred Years Of Japanese Film, Paul Schrader writes, "Whatever we in the West know about Japanese film, and how we know it, we most likely owe to Donald Richie." Richie also penned analyses of two of Japan's best known filmmakers: Yasujirō Ozu and Akira Kurosawa. Because Richie was a friend of Fumio Hayasaka, who composed music for the cinema, he first met Kurosawa on the set of Drunken Angel, the director's initial collaboration with Toshiro Mifune.

Description

---

In an epilogue provided for his incomparable study of Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998), Donald Richie reflects on Kurosawa's life work of thirty feature films and describes his last, unfinished project, a film set in the Edo period to be called The Ocean Was Watching.

Kurosawa remains unchallenged as one of the century's greatest film directors. Through his long and distinguished career he managed, like very few others in the teeth of a huge and relentless industry, to elevate each of his films to a distinctive level of art. His Rashomon—one of the best-remembered and most talked-of films in any language—was a revelation when it appeared in 1950 and did much to bring Japanese cinema to the world's attention. Kurosawa's films display an extraordinary breadth and an astonishing strength, from the philosophic and sexual complexity of Rashomon to the moral dedication of Ikiru, from the naked violence of Seven Samurai to the savage comedy of Yojimbo, from the terror-filled feudalism of Throne of Blood to the piercing wit of Sanjuro.

The Japan Journals: 1947-2004

Donald Richie (Author), Leza Lowitz (Editor)

From Publishers Weekly

Since moving to Japan in 1947, Richie has written hundreds of books, directed several films and befriended dozens of Japanese celebrities, including composer Taru Takemitsu, novelist-icon Yukio Mishima and filmmaker Akira Kurasawa. Richie has also been the point of contact for non-Japanese artists such as Francis Ford Coppola, Truman Capote and Igor Stravinsky. But what will interest most readers are not so much Richie’s erudite observations on Japanese cultural life as his rather saucy descriptions of his experiences in the country. A self-confessed "sexaholic," Richie declares that he’s slept with "thousands" of people, and sex and sexual relationships are themes that dominate the journals. Richie does give some sense of how Japan has changed in the 50-odd years that he has lived there, but this perspective is constrained because Richie’s context rarely transcends his immediate surroundings. As such, the entries sometimes read like a series of cryptic pieces. There are moments where Richie shines, such as when he describes his divorce and his experiences with Mishima. His views on the intersections of xenophobia, racism "and all the rest" are both poignant and disturbing. For example, after being solicited by a couple of schoolgirls, Ritchie wonders how anyone could think prostitution is wrong, except "if the person does not want to sell, well maybe." But the journals live up to his reputation as a charming wit, and if the erratic narrative sometimes seems surreal, enough bits and pieces come together to inform readers of the Japan Richie experienced as an American insider. 75 b&w photos.

This is what every memoir should be. Unhindered by any attempt to be self-serving, Donald Richie’s The Japan Journals: 1947-2004 is about the most unflinchingly honest opening of the tightly turned lid of self you'll ever read. You can't help but like an autobiographer willing to welcome you this deeply into his 510-page heart.

Not that there's a paucity of things to like about Japanese film historian Donald Richie. One of the most underrated writers of the last 50 years, Richie wields his pen with a depth of insight that more famous writers would swap Booker Prizes for, and his command of detail and emotion are on par with the best — even here in a ‘journal.'

Although journal in name, The Japan Journals is more than nighttime afterthought, for Richie realized early on that the detritus of his daily life was destined for the shelves of others, and therefore wrote accordingly — with concentration and abundant skill.

Richie isn't just an interesting writer, he's an interesting human being, a person who has lived a life filled with fascinating and often famous others — Yukio Mishima, Marguerite Yourcenar, Emperor Hirohito and Francis Ford Coppola, to name a few. Included is perhaps the most insightful assessment of the internal life of the near impossible-to-comprehend Mishima, while it is highly likely that Richie is the inspiration for Bill Murray’s character in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation, for he tells of spending time with the teenaged director-to-be in Tokyo.

Better known as the leading Western authority on Japanese film, the beyond erudite Donald Richie could also be subtitled the ‘Gore Vidal who chose to live in Japan.' Equally talented and insightful as the American polemicist, Richie is more heartfelt to Vidal’s glib, and therefore on final reckoning, even more rewarding.

“Although human beings are incapable of talking about themselves with total honesty, it is much harder to avoid the truth while pretending to be other people. They often reveal much about themselves in a very straightforward way. I am certain that I did. There is nothing that says more about its creator than the work itself.”
