Dimanche 10 Avril À 20H00 dimanche 10 avril à 20h00 LE NARCISSE NOIR (Black Narcissus) 1956 -- 1947 - 1h40 — VOSTF— copie restaurée Réalisé par Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger Avec Deborah Kerr, David Farrar, Flora Robson, Sabu. Sur les contreforts de l’Himalaya, une congrégation de nonnes s’établit dans un ancien harem avec l’intention de transformer le lieu en dispensaire. Dean, un agent anglais, est chargé de les aider à construire une école, mais il se heurte rapidement à la sœur Clo- dagh qui trouve ses manières incorrectes. Au sein de la communau- té, la solitude pèse de plus en plus sur les cœurs, et les tensions s’exacerbent. Il est impossible d’évoquer le cinéma anglais sans donner la part du lion au duo formé par Michael Powell et Emerich Pressburger. The Archers, du nom de la société de production qu’ils fondèrent, furent les responsables de 19 films entre 1939 et 1972 dont une bonne partie est entrée dans l’histoire du cinéma : Le 49ème parallèle (1941), Le Colonel Blimp (1943), Une Question de Vie ou de Mort (1946), Les Chaussons Rouges (1948), Les Contes d’Hoffmann et bien sûr Le Narcisse Noir (1947). Le cinéma anglais d’après-guerre fit preuve d’une vitalité qu’on oublie un peu trop au- jourd’hui. Et pourtant c'est un âge d'or pour David Lean (Brève Rencontre), Carol Reed (Le Troisième Homme) ou les Studios Ealing (Whisky à gogo , Noblesse Oblige...). C’est dans ce contexte que s’épanouit The Archers, qui après Une question de vie ou de mort (une fantaisie très audacieuse sur fond de guerre mondiale), décidèrent d’aller encore plus loin pour leur prochain film en adaptant le livre éponyme de Rumer Godden. Comme d’habitude avec le duo, Pressburger écrit le premier jet du scénario avant que les deux hommes ne l’achèvent. Powell s’occupe principa- lement de la réalisation et Pressburger de la pro- duction mais ils sont cités ensemble à tous ces postes tant leur collaboration créative est étroite. Très tôt les deux hommes prennent une décision extrêmement risquée qui donnera au Narcisse Noir son style si unique : tourner tout le film, dont l’ac- tion se situe à Calcutta en Inde, intégralement en studios à Londres. Les peintures sur verre et les maquettes sont absolument superbes mais c’est surtout le travail de Jack Cardiff, leur chef opéra- teur, qu’il convient de mettre à l’honneur. Son travail, très inspiré par Vermeer et Caravage, n’est d’ailleurs pas passé inaperçu car en plus de rece- voir l’Oscar et le Golden Globe, les patrons de Technicolor déclarèrent le film comme le plus bel exemple de ce que leur procédé pouvait donner ! Néanmoins ce serait faire du tort au film de ne vanter que ses qua- lités plastiques. L’interprétation est remarquable. Deborah Kerr et Kathleen Byron en tête. Mais aussi David Farrar et Jean Sim- mons, toute jeune, grimée en indienne pour l’occasion ; ainsi que Sabu, l’enfant-star du Livre de la Jungle et du Voleur de Bag- dad (d’ailleurs co-réalisé par Michael Powell). Un grand film, comme on ne sait plus en faire, qui joue merveilleu- sement avec les outils de la fiction, des décors, du réel, du rêve, de la folie… .

  • Shoot the Messenger
    Shoot the Messenger Dir: Ngozi Onwurah, UK, 2006 A review by Stephen Harper, University of Portsmouth, UK The BBC drama Shoot the Messenger (BBC2, 30 August, 2006) is a provocative exploration of racial politics within London's African Caribbean community. Originally entitled Fuck Black People!, the film provoked strong criticism, not least from the pressure group Ligali. The drama was written by Sharon Foster, best known as the writer of Babyfather, who won the Dennis Potter Screenwriting Award for her screenplay. David Oyelowo plays Joe Pascale, a well-meaning middle class schoolteacher whose efforts to 'make a difference' in the education of failing black pupils in an inner-city school result in unemployment, schizophrenia and homelessness. The tribulations of the idealistic teacher are hardly new in British television drama: Jimmy McGovern's 1995 series Hearts and Minds is one noteworthy example. But Shoot the Messenger's central concern with race orients it specifically towards contemporary debates around multiculturalism and social exclusion such as that prompted by the Parekh Report (2000). The concern with black educational failure is key within these debates. A DfES report 'Getting it. Getting it right' (2007) noted that Black Caribbean students in Britain are excluded from school far more often than white pupils. Although BBC television drama has addressed these issues in recent years in productions such as Lennie James' Storm Damage (BBC2, 2000), Shoot the Messenger nonetheless carries a heavy representational burden. For several years the lack of racial diversity in BBC programmes has been criticised (Creeber, 2004) and concerns about the BBC's treatment of its visible minority staff abound (see, for example, "BBC still showing its 'hideously white' face," 2002).

  • Black Narcissus (Le Narcisse Noir) film De Michael Powell Et Emeric Pressburger - 1947
    !1 sur !3 Black narcissus (Le narcisse noir) film de Michael Powell et Emeric Pressburger - 1947 « Les films de Michael Powell et Emeric Pressburger sont grandioses, poétiques, remplis de sagesse, d’aventure et d’obstination, en extase devant la beauté, qu’elle soit naturelle ou recréée, profondément romantiques mais pourtant dépourvus de tout compromis. » Martin SCORSESE Scénario : Michael Powell et Emeric Pressburger, d'après le roman Le Narcisse noir de Rumer Godden Direction artistique : Alfred Junge Costumes : Hein Heckroth Photographie : Jack Cardiff, assisté de Christopher Challis et Edward Scaife (cadreurs, non crédités) Son : Stanley Lambourne Musique : Brian Easdale Montage : Reginald Mills Production : Michael Powell et Emeric Pressburger Deborah Kerr : Sœur Clodagh David Farrar : Mr. Dean Kathleen Byron : Sœur Ruth Jean Simmons : Kanchi Sabu : le jeune général Judith Furse : Sœur Briony Flora Robson : Sœur Philippa Drame sensuel placé sous la beauté radieuse et écrasante des montagnes indiennes, Le Narcisse noir précède directement Les Chaussons rouges dans la filmographie de Powell et Pressburger. Œuvre atypique, décisive pour la génération de Coppola et de Scorsese, essentielle pour l’histoire du Technicolor, il s’agit de l’un des films les plus aimés et les plus commentés du cinéma classique. L’art de la mise en scène touche ici au mystère de l’extase à travers la flamboyance des décors et l’ivresse de la musique. Magnifiée par la grâce fébrile de Deborah Kerr, la virilité rustique de David Farrar ou la fraîcheur sauvage de Jean Simmons, l’histoire confronte le désir et l'interdit avec une audace extrême. À la fois spectacle majestueux et tragédie des sentiments exaltés, Le Narcisse noir correspond à un idéal de cinéma indépassable.

  • Architecture, Space and Landscape in the Film and Television of Stanley Kubrick and Ken Russell Matthew Melia
    Special — Peer Reviewed Cinergie – Il cinema e le altre arti. N.12 (2017) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2280-9481/7352 ISSN 2280-9481 Altered States, Altered Spaces: Architecture, Space and Landscape in the Film and Television of Stanley Kubrick and Ken Russell Matthew Melia Published: 4th December 2017 Abstract Stanley Kubrick and Ken Russell, at first, seem like unlikely bedfellows for a critical comparative discussion, the Baroque, excessive and romantic nature of Russell’s screen standing in apparent contrast to the structure, order, organisation, brutalism and spatial complexity of Kubrick’s. Drawing on a range of archived material, I will suggest less that Kubrick borrowed from Russell (as Russell biographer Paul Sutton does) than that their work shares a set of key spatial, architectural, iconographic and visually linguistic concerns. Russell and Kubrick are two key directors – auteurs –of the post-war and counter-cultural era who share a distinct, unique and idiosyncratic style which has previously gone largely unrecognised. As well as highlighting a shared set of imagery and iconography, I will present their oeuvres as an extended cinematic conversation which lasted from the late 1950s. I will, for example, draw a close analysis of both Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Russell’s Altered States (1980), two films which enter into debate over the polysemic nature of space, offering similar images of spatial expansion and (Beckettian) corporeal restriction. The essay will consider the shared use of vertical and horizontal spatial screen organisation, suggesting how both directors create screens which are self-contained canvases whose contours form a contested space.

  • Black Narcissus
    Black Narcissus by Raymond Durgnat Young Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr), of an Anglo-Catholic order, is appointed Sister Superior of a new convent, St. Faith’s, to be established, with dispensary and school, among mountain peasants north of Darjeeling. The local ruler, the Old General (Esmond Knight), has given them a ‘palace’ (once his father’s “House of Women”). Sister Clodagh is assigned Sisters Briony, Philippa (Flora Robson), Blanche, and Ruth (Kathleen Byron), a problem nun. The English agent, Mr. Dean (David Farrar), is helpful but disconcertingly sardonic; Sister Clodagh’s resolve to manage without him is undermined by the atmosphere (keening winds, a silent holy man, sensual murals) and a variety of events. The central conflict in Black Narcissus is unusually diffuse, and multi-factorial. These reasonably well-balanced nuns run a chapel, a school, a dispensary and a garden; they combine faith and works, commitment and tolerance, vision and revision (their vows are renewable annually). At this ‘edge of the world’, however, their ‘team for all seasons’ synthesis is subtly destabilised by a miscellany of exotic attitudes. This Himalayan kingdom parades values which the nuns’ utilitarian idealism excludes: peacock males, sensuality, kingly power, female as sex object, a peasantry so unaccustomed to philanthropy that it refuses free health care, and disconcerting manipulations (the local despot pays the peasants to attend the school and clinic, despite their suspicions). The realm of the excluded is also a looking-glass world, for much of this exoticism is oddly familiar. The despot combines fairy-tale whimsicality with a semi-adaptation to Western ideas.

Don’t you like children?” (Do diálogo do filme) Black Narcissus é um filme que faz irresistivelmente pensar em dois cineastas e em dois filmes que estão nos antípodas de Michael Powell: Robert Bresson e Les Anges du Péché (1943); John Ford e Seven Women (1966). Baseado num romance da escritora inglesa Rumer Godden (a autora do livro que cinco anos mais tarde inspiraria a Renoir o inadjectivável The River), Black Narcissus, foi inteiramente filmado em estúdios (ao contrário do filme de Renoir), numa Índia imaginária e mítica. Powell afirmou que julgava “ter percebido bem o livro, de que gostei imenso.
