若いころは、刑務所を出たり入ったりを繰り返した。その繰り返しのなかでやがて、自分は世界有数の演劇学校に入り俳優になるのだと決めた。実現不可能に思えるこの野望を抱いて、マイケル・バロガンさんは前に進んだ(以下、敬称略)。 独房でひとり座っていたマイケル・バロガンは、自分がどれだけ失敗を重ねてきたか思い返していた。自分がいかに、チャンスを逃してきたか。そこでバロガンは決心した。これからどうやって生きていくのか、朝までに決められなかったら、その場で首を吊って死のうと。 バロガンは目を閉じて、自分が経験してきた様々な場面を振り返った。家庭を捨てた父親のこと。麻薬密売の罪で刑務所送りになった母親のこと。自分が福祉職員に保護された日のこと。そして、初めて道端で犯罪に手を染めたときのこと。自分自身が服役した日々。いくつものやり直しのチャンスが、自分のせいで駄目になったこと。

BBC Culture polled 209 critics in 43 countries to find the best in world cinema – here’s the top 100. Three years ago, BBC Culture ran its first major critics’ poll, to find the 100 greatest American films. Two further polls looked for the best films of the 21st Century and the greatest comedies ever made – and those also ended up with films from the US in the top spot. This year, we felt it was t
