The Adventure (2008)

마임 배우 가랑스와 밥티스트는 서로 사랑하지만, 허영심이 강한 배우 프레데릭 등 가랑스를 사랑하는 다른 세 남자들 때문에 기구한 삶을 살게 된다. 3시간 넘는 상영시간이 지루하지 않는 ‘프랑스 연극의 정수와 혼’이 담긴 영화로, 누벨바그 이전의 프랑스 문예 영화의 정점을 보여주는 기념비적인 작품이다.마르셀 카르테가 연출하여 나치 점령 하의 파리에서 2년에 걸쳐 제작되었고 나치가 물러간 후에야 비로소 완성, 개봉되었다. 또한 시인 자끄 프레베르의 시나리오와 당대 최고의 연극배우인 장 루이 바로의 판토마임 연기로 더욱 유명한 작품.

알콜 문제로 영화계를 오랜 기간 떠났던 제작자 멜 펀. 그는 야심차게 영화계로의 복귀를 꿈꾸고, 그 첫 프로젝트로 무성영화를 만들 계획을 세운다. 제작자는 이 시대착오적인 꿈을 필사적으로 반대하지만 멜은 굴하지 않고 더 큰 계획을 실행에 옮긴다. 할리우드 최고의 배우를 캐스팅하려는 것이다. 이제 멜과 동료들은 LA에 살고 있는 스타들을 찾아다니며 못 말리는 소동을 벌인다. 어쩌면 멜 브룩스의 가장 야심찬 영화일지도 모를 는 말 그대로 무성 영화의 형식을 과감하게 밀어 붙인다. 인물들의 목소리가 아니라 자막으로 모든 대사를 전달하는 것이다. 무성 영화의 형식, 특히 자막과 화면의 불일치를 이용해 웃음을 만들어내는 솜씨는 그 자체로 재미있을 뿐 아니라 이미지와 사운드에 대한 날카로운 영화적 논평으로 읽히기도 한다. 버트 레이놀즈, 제임스 칸, 폴 뉴먼 등 스타들의 과감하게 망가지는 연기도 재미를 더한다.

That day has come…but he never expected it to be like this.
