映画"Live Like This"（あらすじ）
ギャングのボスの娘と恋仲になった下っ端ギャングのKAZEは、なんとか手柄を上げてボスの気を引きたかった。仲間の援助で手に入れた大金をボスに献納して彼女との仲を認めてもらうつもりだったKAZEだが、それを面白く思わなかったグループとの内部抗争に巻き込まれてしまう。バーでその計画を彼女に電話で伝えているのを敵対グループの男に聞かれてしまった。そして、仕組まれたバイク事故で殺されたうえ、手柄を横取りされてしまったのだ。娘はただ、自分をここから連れ出してくれさえすればよかったのに、とひとり姿を消す。
これがどこまでピュアな愛の話なのか知らんが、70～80年代のイタリア映画にありそうな構成と画質に落とし込んだ才能ある監督と、ケチのつけようもない女優さんと、調子に乗って演じきった藤井風さんに、賛辞を贈りたい。（ナニサマ？）
Movie"Love Like This" (Synopsis)
KAZE, a low-level gangster who falls in love with the daughter of a gang boss, hopes to somehow impress him with some success. He plans to give the boss the large sum of money he's made with the help of his friends to gain approval for his relationship with her, but he becomes embroiled in an internal conflict with another gang that isn't happy about this. A man from a rival gang overhears him telling her his plan on the phone in a bar. He is then killed in a staged motorcycle accident and has his credit stolen from him.
The daughter simply hopes that he will take her away, but when she realizes that this won't happen, she disappears alone.
I don't know how pure a love story this is, but I'd like to offer my praise to the talented director, who has created a structure and image quality reminiscent of Italian films from the 1970s and 1980s, the impeccable actress, and Fujii Kaze, who plays with such enthusiasm. (Who do you think you are?)
