    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.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2013 ■ $3.00 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), chairman of the infl uential Foreign Relations Committee, took a hard WWD line against American companies that have formed their own alliance to tackle fi re and building safety issues in Bangladesh after declining to sign an inter- national accord, warning them to get their act togeth- er “sooner rather than later.” The committee stepped into the controversy swirl- ing around inadequate fi re and building safety stan- dards and enforcement in the Asian nation’s apparel industry in the wake of the Rana Plaza building col- lapse in April that has claimed 1,129 lives and a fi re at Tazreen Fashions in November that killed 112 gar- ment workers. “Why is it that only a handful of American retailers have signed on, but many more European companies have signed on to the IndustriALL accord?” asked Menendez, addressing the hearing, which included three Obama administration offi cials and an attor- Ralph ney representing major retail and apparel industry groups.
