From Journalism to Cinema: Three Famous Movies About Investigative Journalism

All the President’s Men (1976)

A true-life detective tale about a pair of intrepid reporters, this film follows Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as they uncover a possible connection between the 1972 Watergate burglary and a White House staffer.

Faithfully adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning book authored by these reporters, All the President’s Men delivers remarkable performances by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman.

Directed by Michael Mann, The Insider is a drama based on the true story of a 60 Minutes segment about Jeffrey Wigand, a whistleblower in the tobacco industry.

Jean Renoir shot The Rules of the Game in 1939, a dramatic fantasy that depicts the provincial French aristocracy in its raw nature. From nobles to servants, from a masquerade ball to game hunting, a small community is entangled in a web of lies, false pleasures and delusive love, and even passes off a murder as an accident. Though initially misunderstood and greeted with mockery, today it is considered one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. Set on the eve of WWII in a climate of anti- Semitism, The Rules of the Game is the cruel portrait of a world in decline and the disintegration of a certain French elite, frivolously oblivious to the imminent perils.

The film, which received awards at Cannes and Hollywood, was presented at Cannes at the same time the Pieds Noirs and the French army rose up so that Algeria would remain French. This was considered a film made at the veritable frontier between the Fourth and Fifth French Republics, at the border between a post-war rural society and the new industrial society in full expansion, between the old neighborhoods destined for demolition and the modern planned cities.

Jean-Luc Godard directed Contempt in 1963. Brigitte Bardot, who was one of cinema’s global icons at the time, shared the lead in the film with Fritz Lang, who plays himself, a creator of movies. The film blends two ruptures: that of a young woman and her screenwriter husband (Michel Piccoli), and that of the German director and an American producer (Jack Palance). At the time in which the film is set, television is thriving and the number of films has diminished; movie theaters are closing and cinema is experiencing an existential crisis. The early 1960s was the only time of the century when Hollywood did not dominate movies. For Jean- Luc Godard, it was the end of a cinema that he loved passionately. 20 | EUROCHANNEL GUIDE | APRIL 2016 | A Film and Its Era Vincent, François, Paul and the Others by Claude Sautet director Antoine de Gaudemar cast Claude Sautet, Romy Schneider, Michel Piccoli Il était une fois… Vincent, François, Paul et les autres, 2010

Claude Sautet shot Vincent, François, Paul and the Others in 1974. Three inseparable men with problems face life in their 50s.

A Film and Its Era Tess, by Jean-Luc Godard director Serge July, Daniel Ablinn cast Roman Polanski, Nastassia Kinski, Claude Berri, Philippe Sarde Il était une fois… Tess, 2006

Roman Polanski would wait to meet Nastassia Kinski and, most importantly, his exile in France after a rapid exit from the United States, to begin work on Tess in 1978. Claude Berri orchestrates the production, at the time the most costly film made in the history of French cinema, at the service of a star: Roman Polanski. The portrait of this film, one of Polanski’s rare love stories, and one of his most highly-acclaimed works, is a group portrait as well: cathartic for Roman Polanski and Nastassia Kinski, and a double-or-nothing gamble for Claude Berri. It is also the portrait of an era, following the rape of a young country girl through the hollow pathways of a landscape and a society heading for extinction at the end of nineteenth-century Premiere: England: agrarian civilization.

director David Thompson cast Maurice Pialat, Sandrine Bonnaire, Sylvie Pialat, Florence Quentin Il était une fois… A nos amours, 2012

Pialat directed To Our Loves in 1983. In the movie, Suzanne is 15. On holiday on the Cote d’Azur, she rejects the boy she loves and gives herself to a stranger on the beach. Back in Paris she revels in sexual encounters. Her father, a man she admires, has left the family.

Queen Margot echoes contemporary history.

The movie was also released the same year of the Rwanda genocide. According to Chéreau, savagery was indeed a “very close” and very actual reality.
