Red carpet @ Berlinale 普段着でレッドカーペット





 2月8日からいよいよベルリン映画祭が始まり、僕と妻も現地に入った。時差ぼけで朦朧としながらも、登録手続きを済ませたり、フォーラムの人やユニジャパン、IFPブースの人々にあいさつしたり、新聞の取材を受けたりと、目まぐるしい初日を何とか乗り切った。
 ちょっと焦ったのは、オープニング式典への招待状に「フォーマル着用」と書いてあるのを読んだとき。考えてみりゃ当たり前なんだけど、そんなものに出るかもしれないなんてことはすっかり忘れてて、ジーパンしか持ってこなかったよ〜。まあいいや、それも愛嬌でしょということで、普段着のまま、しかもパソコンや資料が入ったバッグをいくつも抱えてレッドカーペットを歩いた。恥のかきついでにパパラッチを逆撮影!「なんだ、この東洋人は?」という感じでみんな戸惑ってたのが笑えたな。

On Feb 8, Berlin Film Festival finally started, and I and my wife arrived in Berlin. We suffered some jet lag, but we managed to register with the festival, met many people of Forum, UniJapan, IFP, and did some interviews for a Japanese news paper. We were so busy!!!

But I was a bit shocked when I received an invitation to the opening ceremony which said "Formal." I only had jeans because for some reasons, I didn't even think that this kind of situation might happen. Well, I just decided that these jeans were my formal clothes, and walked on the red carpet carrying some back packs. And I shot some pictures of paparazzi! I was quite amused that they seemed quite puzzled about the strange behavior by an strange Asian guy.
