  • Une Belle Fin (Still Life) DES LYCÉENS 2014-2015 UBERTO PASOLINI
    PRIX JEAN RENOIR Une belle fin (Still Life) DES LYCÉENS 2014-2015 UBERTO PASOLINI Entrée en matière Pour commencer Enfant de l’aristocratie italienne, Uberto Pasolini dall’Onda est né à Rome en 1957. Au début des années 1980, il s’installe à Londres et entame une carrière de banquier d’affaires, dont il se lasse vite. À 26 ans, en souvenir de la passion développée au cours de ses jeunes années passées à la cinémathèque de Milan, il préfère se tourner vers le milieu du 7e art. « Je voulais essayer quelque chose, raconte-t-il, où je ne devrais rien aux contacts de ma famille. J’ai donc lâché bureau et secrétaire pour me retrouver à servir le thé sur un tournage. » Stagiaire sur La Déchirure de Roland Joffé (1984), Pasolini (aucun rapport avec son illustre homonyme) est remarqué par le producteur David Puttnam, qui fait de lui son assistant pendant et après sa chute de la Columbia. Des dix années passées aux côtés de celui qui présida aux destinées de Midnight Express (1978) et des Chariots de feu (1981), Pasolini retient surtout la capacité (et le plaisir) à intervenir dans le processus de création. En 1994, il fonde sa propre société, Redwave Films, qui produit notamment The Full Monty (Peter Cattaneo, 1997). Le succès est colossal, mais des revers de production poussent bientôt l’Italo-Britannique à passer lui-même à la réalisation. En 2007, il tourne Sri Lanka National Handball Team, une comédie « à l’italienne » adaptée de l’histoire (vraie) d’une (fausse) équipe sri-lankaise de handball qui disparut lors du tournoi auquel elle avait été invitée en Allemagne en 2004… Tout en continuant de produire (Bel-Ami de Declan Donnellan et Nick Ormerod, en 2012), Pasolini tombe un jour sur l’interview d’une employée des pompes funèbres de la mairie de Westminster, « une femme chargée à la fois de retrouver les proches de personnes disparues sans famille connue, mais aussi, quand elle n’y parvient pas, d’organiser leurs funérailles.

Manoj and Stanley console themselves after their latest visa application is rejected. For barman Manoj, the recurrent denial of his ultimate dream to live and work in the beautiful West is taking a serious toll, whilst his lifelong friend Stanley, fruit seller in the streets of Colombo, is losing his fight against overwhelming debt, looking after crazy aunts and a young brother on the way to a criminal life.
