一天OneDay

「今日は日曜日だゾー!誰もいねえのか」サブの大きな叫び声が静かな村にこだまする。ここは、富士のすそ野にある小さな村で、サブは村一番のワンパクなガキ大将。 日曜日の遊び相手が見つからず、仕方なく病弱な健一を誘い出し親をなくした五羽の子雀を見つける。 「よし、このタチッ子はぼくらが育てよう!」 だが家にもち帰った子雀たちはまだ目もあかず、サブの与える餌も食べようとはしない。そして、必死の努力にもかかわらず次々と三羽の子雀は死んでしまった。最愛の小さな生命を失ったサブの眼には大粒の涙があふれる。 病弱な健一も、「身体の弱いものの気持がよくわかる」と全力で立ち向う。雀という小さな生命との出会い、その「死」との直面、その体験の中で今ある生命を大切にする心を養ってゆき、又、生物の成長をつぶさに観察する中で、事実を自分の眼で確かめ自分の頭で考え行動するという科学的な判断力を身につけてゆく。ここに現在の子どもの成長に欠かせぬ重要なものがあるのではないだろうか。雄大な富士のふところに展開する少年とすずめの愛とたたかいの叙事詩。

Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
