  • Revue De Presse
    REVUE DE PRESSE Popeye, un policier sans états d'âme, traque un puissant trafiquant de drogue, M. Charnier (sic). Perquisitions, filatures... En remontant la filière française, la plaque tournante est localisée : Marseille. Inspiré d'un fait divers authentique survenu en 1962, French Connection a démythifié d'un coup tous les films policiers. Son morceau de bravoure : la longue course-poursuite entre une voiture... et une rame de métro aérien dont le conducteur est obligé de brûler les feux ! Très spectaculaire, la scène révèle l'acharnement, aux limites de l'absurde, du policier. L'action, ici, fait partie intégrante du caractère fruste des personnages. La violence ne peut se dissocier du côté exalté du policier, qui réagit viscéralement aux injustices de son métier. Popeye jubile dans des situations inquiétantes ! La mise en scène alterne les séquences de reportage et de brusques explosions de sauvagerie. En laissant les commandes à un jeune réalisateur, le producteur de Bullitt et le scénariste de Shaft (Les Nuits rouges de Harlem) ont fait le bon choix. C'était le cinquième film de William Friedkin, qui, à 36 ans, a remporté un triomphe international, confirmé par le suivant, L'Exorciste. Depuis, le cinéaste a livré, entre deux commandes, des films à l'ambiguïté et à la noirceur très peu hollywoodiennes, comme Police fédérale, Los Angeles, le dérangeant Bug ou, plus récemment, le percutant Killer Joe. On trouve ici les fondements de cet univers où le bien et le mal coexistent de façon troublante. Philippe Piazzo Gros bonnet marseillais, grosses voitures américaines et grosses transactions d’héroïne en vue… Un film américain de choc flaire ce gros coup, secoue ses indics et multiplie les filatures.

It challenges many of the assumptions underlying prevailing accounts of the period, including the makeup of the orthodox “canon” of New Hollywood movies, the time frame within which the movies were contained, and the role played by the critical establishment in determining the ways in which the movies of the period were understood. Bringing together industrial context, textual analysis and critical (re)interpretation, it examines the complex interplay of factors that allowed a movie such as Easy Rider to achieve commercial and canonical success, while so many of its contemporaries and imitators failed to make an impact, either at the box office or within the annals of film history.
