タイトル:千年の恋: ひかる源氏物語
出演:吉永小百合/天海祐希/常盤貴子/松田聖子/高島礼子/竹中直人/渡辺謙/森光子
監督:堀川とんこう

日本映画界屈指のスタッフとキャストが集結。壮大なスケールで描く、絢爛豪華な平安絵巻。

時を遡ること1000年前。夫を亡くした寂しさを物語の執筆で埋めていた紫式部は、時の関白・藤原道長からの招へいにより、京の都にやって来る。すでに入内をすませていた道長の娘・彰子の教育係として宮中に上がった紫式部は、彰子に愛を教えるために物語の続きを紡ぎはじめた。「源氏物語」と題されたその物語の主人公は、帝の子でありながら臣籍に下った"光源氏"という青年だった。容姿端麗にして武芸にも学問にも秀でている光源氏は、なんの不自由もない生活を送っていたが、継母である藤壺中宮への禁断の恋に苦しんでいた。だがついに、藤壺と体を重ねてしまうことになり……。
紫式部による「源氏物語」の執筆から1000年という節目を迎え、壮大なスケールで再現された平安絵巻。14億円の総制作費と豪華キャストで、「源氏物語」の幽玄な世界を描き上げている。脚本は「きけ、わだつみの声」の早坂暁。紫式部を吉永小百合が、光源氏を元宝塚の男役・天海祐希が演じたことでも話題になった。

This customer review refers to Genji - A Thousand Year Love (Hong Kong Version)
Striking take on Genji's tale Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
"Genji - A Thousand Year Love" is a film that viewers likely will either love or hate. I loved it! Here are a few of the reasons I was so captivated by it:

First, the casting of Amami Yuki as Genji was brilliant. If Genji had been played by a male actor, he would have seemed like nothing more than a pampered sexual predator. By placing Amami Yuki in this role, Genji becomes a more sympathetic character.

Second, the story-telling approach was a stroke of genius. We see not only the "Tale of Genji" as it unfolds, but we learn about the life of the story's author, Lady Murasaki. Moreover, by having Murasaki tell Genji's story to a girl who has been selected to become a mistress to the emperor, the film allows a running commentary on the story that helps the viewer understand this ancient tale.

Third, the film looks stunningly gorgeous. The set decoration, costuming, and cinematography are breathtakingly beautiful.

Fourth, the performances by Amami Yuki as Genji, veteran actress Yoshinaga Sayuri as Lady Murasaki, and Tokiwa Takako as Murasaki no Ue are very moving.

Many viewers have found the film's musical interludes to be distracting; they provide a periodic poetic commentary on the film's story. For the most part, I found them enjoyable, although the song at the film's 40 minute mark is too jarringly pop. (Is that Kudo Shizuka doing the singing?)

I found "Genji - A Thousand Year Love" to be thoroughly engaging from start to finish. I recommend it very highly.

This customer review refers to Genji - A Thousand Year Love (Hong Kong Version)
Dissapointing. Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
It is good that a film has been made about such an important book that was written about a thousand years ago, but the film could have been done much better. Genji, the beautiful and talented hero of the tale, is played by a woman. It was weird trying to watch this woman try to play a man who was quite the lady's man. Another annoying thing about the movie is the strange woman that pops up at times to sing a song now and then. I did like the costumes and how they showed a little about the life of the book's author, Murasaki Shirkibu, but I would not recommend this movie to anyone that wasn't already a big fan of the book.
