A ''film à clef'' or ''film à clé'' ((:film‿a kle), French for "film with a key"), is a film describing real life, behind a façade of fiction. "Key" in this context means a table one can use to swap out the names. It is the film equivalent of the roman à clef. ==Notable ''films à clef''== * ''8½'' is based on Federico Fellini's experience suffering from "director's block." * ''Annie Hall'', believed to be a version of Woody Allen's own relationship with Diane Keaton (whose birth name is Diane Hall). Allen has denied this in interviews, however. * ''Citizen Kane'', a thinly disguised biographical film about William Randolph Hearst. * ''The Celebration'' was based on an alleged real-life story that director Thomas Vinterberg heard on Danish radio. * ''Magnolia'', is loosely inspired by Paul Thomas Anderson's experience in dealing with his father's death from cancer. * ''Adaptation.''; while parts of the film are adapted from Susan Orlean's non-fiction book ''The Orchid Thief'', most of the film is a heavily fictionalized account of Charlie Kaufman's difficulty in adapting the book into a screenplay. * ''Guru'', based on the rise and business practices of Dhirubhai Ambani. * ''The Last Samurai'', inspired by the 1876 Satsuma Rebellion and also on the story of Jules Brunet, a French army captain who fought in the Boshin War. * ''Lost in Translation''; Charlotte and John are believed to be based loosely on writer-director Sofia Coppola and her ex-husband, Spike Jonze. * ''The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'', which features a protagonist based loosely on Jacques-Yves Cousteau. * ''Primary Colors'' is a thinly-veiled depiction of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. * ''Saving Private Ryan'', based loosely on the Niland brothers. * ''Dreamgirls'', the musical film based on the career of The Supremes. * ''Last Days'' (2005), a barely concealed dramatization of Kurt Cobain's final days. * ''I'm Not There'', a series of stories loosely inspired by the life of Bob Dylan.

Grant), as struggling actors living in Camden Town in the late 1960s. The character of Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) is based on Italian film director Franco Zeffirelli, who Robinson claims made amorous advances during the filming of ''Romeo and Juliet''. * ''Casino'' is based on Frank Rosenthal and the Stardust casino. * ''The Devil Wears Prada'' is based on ''Vogue'' magazine editor Anna Wintour. * ''Velvet Goldmine'' is largely based on the career of David Bowie. * ''Diva'' is based on the early European career of soprano Jessye Norman. * ''All Good Things'' is inspired by the life of Robert Durst. * The killers in ''Psycho'', ''The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'' and ''The Silence of the Lambs'' are all modeled closely after Ed Gein, who murdered two women, robbed many graves, and made clothing and furniture out of human skin and bones. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Film à clef」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
