André Roy — A.R AWAKENINGS Awakenings prouve encore une fois, s'il le fallait, que la mise en scène. (Et pourtant, GoodFellas de Scorsese...). En meilleure façon pour un réalisateur de justifier la pauvreté de 1969 donc, dans un hôpital de Brooklyn, un neurologue son film, c'est encore d'indiquer dès le générique — et, pour administre à des cataleptiques, certains médusés depuis plus de Robert De Niro et être sûr qu'on a pigé, de nous le rappeler à la toute fin — qu'il trente ans, le médicament réservé jusqu'alors aux patients Robin Williams, s'est inspiré d'une histoire vécue: le label d'authenticité atteints de Parkinson. Les premiers effets de la drogue (L-Dopa) Awakenings excusera toujours l'insignifiance du scénario et les ratés de la sur la paralysie sont encourageants, mais ils disparaissent assez vite. On a beau augmenter les doses, la plupart des malades retournent là d'où ils sont venus. Voilà pour les faits — la matière d'un documentaire. Quant au film, Penny Marshall, à qui l'on doit («devoir» n'est pas le mot) Jumping Jack Flash et Big, nous sert un mélodrame, ce qui n'est pas mauvais en soi, farci de clichés sur les espoirs déçus, sur les dangereuses initiatives que prennent les «nouveaux-nés» et sur la bonne et la mauvaise foi des médecins ou des directeurs d'hôpitaux. Désolant surtout de voir à quel point sévit d'un bout à l'autre la redondance : la pesée du médicament, les expériences du bon et dévoué docteur Sayer (Robin Williams), le réveil des patients, toutes ces scènes se répètent inlassablement, bourre cinématographique qui ajoute aux bons sentiments, mais certainement pas à la richesse de la narration, ni à la profondeur des personnages. Partout c'est l'ennuyeux retour du même. Pour ne rien dire de De Niro (Leonard Lowe, cobaye), jouant ce qu'ont joué avant lui Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot) et Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man). Du film considéré comme la générale des Oscars. (É-U. 1990. Ré. : Penny Marshall. Int. : Robin Williams, Robert De Niro, Julie Karver.) 121 min. Dist. : Columbia. — A.C. BONFIRE OF VANITIES Tom Hanks et De Palma, c'est du filmé, aucun doute là-dessus. Tous ses Btuce Willis, The films contiennent un morceau de bravoure. Ici c'est la scène Bonfire of the d'ouverture-exposition, qui est interminable et témoigne d'une Vanities virtuosité dont il n'est plus besoin de faire la preuve. Mais Bonfire of Vanities témoigne bien davantage de la valse- hésitation d'un cinéaste qui emprunte depuis Body Double une nouvelle direction à chaque film. L'espèce de trilogie entreprise avec Dressed to Kill et rehaussée par Blow Out, deux excellents films, s'est abîmée dans l'échec de Body Double, qui frise l'infamie et dont De Palma n'a pu se relever qu'avec The Untouchables. Aujourd'hui, ce film où il s'éloigne pour la première fois du cinéma de genre, dans son acception très extensible, lui fait rencontrer des personnages contemporains, humains, et ça le déstabilise. Du roman de Tom Wolfe sur la saga des eighties dans le New York des parvenus, il tire un bon film sans relief, là où sa perfidie, truquée ou non, aurait dû emporter le morceau dans la description de l'arrivisme et de l'irresponsabilité. On pressent une fascination paralysante pour un univers qu'il n'arrive pas à condamner, sinon en chargeant de tares la garce qu'incarne Mélanie Griffith, personnage autrement plus cohérent dans le roman selon les dires. Une constante dans la misogynie qui n'étonne pas. Autre constante, 76 5 4 2 4 IMAGES la façon de recréer un climat sans le ctéer dans la mise en scène.

Nord-Américains (re-)découvrent aujourd'hui l'existence de cette réalité: l'occasion est belle de miser sur la mauvaise conscience qui en découle et de produire des films sur le sujet Dennis Quaid et pour faire sonner les tiroirs-caisses des salles. Produit par la Tamlyn Tomita, Twentieth Century Fox, Come See the Paradise d'Alan Parker Come See the correspond à cette démarche, en évoquant le cas de plus de cent Paradise mille Japonais qui ont été ainsi humiliés et ruinés. Sans doute pur obtenir la participation du spectateur et afin d'articuler d'une façon sensible le destin individuel au destin collectif, le récit insiste lourdement sur une idylle amoureuse entre un leader syndicaliste de gauche (Jack/Dennis Quaid) et une jolie Nipponne qu'il réussit à extirper de sa famille traditionnelle. Après un début prometteut au cours duquel Jack prend vie sous nos yeux au point de voler la vedette, et traversé par un désir manifeste de véhiculer des informations factuelles sur le sujet, le récit a tôt fait de crouler sous les clichés et les bons senti­ ments et l'Histoire de s'enliser dans une «love story». À la mesure de ses bonnes intentions, il s'agit au total d'un film «propre, propre, propre», d'une beauté glacée, comme si Parker voulait ou devait faire oublier à tout jamais la virulence de Midnight Express ou toute forme d'engagement personnel face à son sujet. Il est vrai qu'ici c'est l'Onde Sam qui est au ban des accusés. Contrairement à ce que les critiques répètent comme des perroquets, ce sujet n'est pas traité pour la première fois au cinéma: Kaneto Shindo, entre autres, l'a abordé d'une façon frontale dans L'horizon I Chiheisen, présenté à Montréal en 1984, un film inspiré de l'histoire vécue par sa propre sœur alors installée aux États-Unis. Enfin, à quand un film holly­ FAUX ET USAGE DE FAUX Ni documentaire ni fiction, mais engoncé dans la néces­ Philippe Noiret, sité de restituer au premier ce qu'il n'arrive à transmuer dans Faux et usage la seconde, le film de Laurent Heynemann ressemble à une de faux mascarade sans masques, tant il s'avère impuissant à rendre à l'imposture sa vérité. Le formidable canular qui l'inspire (Romain Gary créant son double goncourable) se prêtait pourtant à mille et un jeux de miroir et de réversibilité. Mais dès les premiers échanges entre l'écrivain Anatole Hirsh et ce neveu qu'il promet paternellement au glorieux travestissement, la placide complicité qui scelle l'un et l'autre laisse augurer de la fadeur de la mise en scène. Heynemann se contente de prévisibles face à face, juxtaposant assez platement les deux figures de son duo ou les faisant évoluer en parallèle, sans jamais insuffler à leur jeu cette vitalité et cette fièvre qui sont généra­ lement le propre des grands complots. Aussi est-ce sans grand effet qu'on verra leur mystification dévoilée, après que ces menées secrètes contre l'institution littéraire aient valu le 77 2 4 IMAGES Goncourt au couple Hirsh-Arthus. Pour une meilleure tude dans la tragédie, en laissant pour une fois de côté ce conduite de cette fable du faussaire et de son pantin, on aurait dandysme bonhomme assorti de cigares qu'on lui a vu trop souhaité des eaux plus troubles, des personnages moins asservis souvent.

  • 12 Big Names from World Cinema in Conversation with Marrakech Audiences
    The 18th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival runs from 29 November to 7 December 2019 12 BIG NAMES FROM WORLD CINEMA IN CONVERSATION WITH MARRAKECH AUDIENCES Rabat, 14 November 2019. The “Conversation with” section is one of the highlights of the Marrakech International Film Festival and returns during the 18th edition for some fascinating exchanges with some of those who create the magic of cinema around the world. As its name suggests, “Conversation with” is a forum for free-flowing discussion with some of the great names in international filmmaking. These sessions are free and open to all: industry professionals, journalists, and the general public. During last year’s festival, the launch of this new section was a huge hit with Moroccan and internatiojnal film lovers. More than 3,000 people attended seven conversations with some legendary names of the big screen, offering some intense moments with artists, who generously shared their vision and their cinematic techniques and delivered some dazzling demonstrations and fascinating anecdotes to an audience of cinephiles. After the success of the previous edition, the Festival is recreating the experience and expanding from seven to 11 conversations at this year’s event. Once again, some of the biggest names in international filmmaking have confirmed their participation at this major FIFM event. They include US director, actor, producer, and all-around legend Robert Redford, along with Academy Award-winning French actor Marion Cotillard. Multi-award-winning Palestinian director Elia Suleiman will also be in attendance, along with independent British producer Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, Only Lovers Left Alive) and celebrated US actor Harvey Keitel, star of some of the biggest hits in cinema history including Thelma and Louise, The Piano, and Pulp Fiction.

The retrospective features a representative selection of 13 films from all four decades of his filmmaking career, and showcases impressive (and surprising) performances from some of European cinema’s finest actors, including Marcello Mastroianni, Roberto Benigni, Gérard Dépardieu, Catherine Deneuve, Philippe Noiret, Michel Piccoli and Ugo Tognazzi. A highlight of the season will be the two screenings of Ferreri’s masterpiece La Grande Bouffe (Blow-Out) on a newly-restored print provided by Cinecittà especially for the occasion. As many of Ferreri’s films received no, or very limited, UK release, this season represents a valuable opportunity for film fans to assess or re-asses the work of one of Italian – and world – cinema’s most singular talents.
