MR. TURNER Évoque Les Dernières Années De L’Existence Du Peintre Britannique, J.M.W Turner (1775-1851)
M. TURNER Un film de Mike Leigh Royaume Uni – 2014 – 149 min Avec Timothy Spall, Dorothy Atkinson, Marion Bailey, Paul Jesson, Lesley Manville, Martin Savage et Ruth Sheen Distribution Presse Métropole Films Distribution Mélanie Mingotaud 5360 Boulevard St-Laurent MingoTwo Communications Montréal, QC H2T 1S1 1908 rue Panet, bureau 403A t : 514.223.5511 Montréal, QC H2L 3A1 f : 514.223.6111 t: 514.582.5272 e : [email protected] e: [email protected] SYNOPSIS MR. TURNER évoque les dernières années de l’existence du peintre britannique, J.M.W Turner (1775-1851). Artiste reconnu, membre apprécié quoique dissipé de la Royal Academy of Arts, il vit entouré de son père qui est aussi son assistant et de sa dévouée gouvernante. Il fréquente l’aristocratie, visite les bordels et nourrit son inspiration par ses nombreux voyages. La renommée dont il jouit ne lui épargne pas toutefois les éventuelles railleries du public ou les sarcasmes de l’establishment. A la mort de son père, profondément affecté, Turner s’isole. Sa vie change cependant quand il rencontre Mrs Booth, propriétaire d’une pension de famille en bord de mer. Note du réalisateur A la fin du siècle dernier, au moment de la sortie de TOPSY-TURVY, j'écrivais qu'il s'agissait d'un film "sur tous ceux parmi nous qui souffrent et s'abîment pour faire rire les gens." Aujourd'hui j'ai de nouveau voulu nous filmer nous-mêmes, nous qui essayons d'être des artistes, avec toutes les difficultés que notre vocation impose. Mais faire rire les gens, aussi difficile que ce soit, est une chose. -
GSC Films: S-Z
GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything. -

Cela vaut aussi pour ses rares œuvres historiques, le joyeux et truculent Topsy-Turvy (1999), l’âpre et grave Vera Drake (2004) et, tout spécialement, Mr. Turner; ce nouvel opus tout en nuances élégiaques est consacré au peintre anglais J.M.W. Turner. Claire Valade Donner vie à Turner sans retenue i Mr.
