L'œuvre Unique Les Bibliothèques d’Amiens Métropole présentent Le 7ème jour pour le 7ème art L’ŒUVRE UNIQUE Leur premier film fut aussi le dernier Du lundi 8 février au samedi 7 mai 2016 Sélection de films à emprunter ou à visionner à l’Espace Image et Son et projections publiques dans l’auditorium Charles Pinsard (entrée libre et gratuite dans la limite des places disponibles) Projection le lundi Projection le jeudi Projection le samedi 7 mars, 7 avril, 7 mai, à 17h45 à 16h30 à 14h30 Un seul film à la réalisation, et puis s'en va... Par envie ou par défi, nombreux sont ceux qui réalisent un premier...et parfois un unique film. Expérience douloureuse, difficultés financières, désintérêt, désir de revenir à son métier d'origine, échec commercial, mort prématurée, raisons politiques, circonstances historiques... Ce ne sont pas les explications qui manquent. Voici quelques exemples connus, d'autres beaucoup moins. Quartet / Dustin Hoffman (2013) Avec Maggie Smith, Tom Courtenay, Billy Connolly… A 76 ans, Dustin Hoffman s'est enfin lancé. L'homme aux deux Oscars, l'acteur à la filmographie éblouissante, est passé derrière la caméra pour raconter l'histoire de quatre anciennes gloires anglaises de l'opéra, retirées dans une maison de retraite pour artiste. Un "Quartet" qui va accepter de rechanter d'une même voix malgré les brouilles du passé, pour sauver l'établissement. Rendez-vous l'été prochain / Philip Seymour Hoffman (2010) Avec Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz… Découvrir l’unique film de Philip Seymour Hoffman réalisateur, après sa mort, à 46 ans, a quelque chose de troublant. On traque la réplique prémonitoire, le plan lourd de sens. On découvre surtout une sensibilité à fleur de peau et une vraie mélancolie qui s’exprime dans un New-York d’automne et d’hiver. Le premier film d’un cinéaste tient toujours du livre ouvert sur sa personnalité. Le choix d’adapter la pièce de Bob Glaudini, alors qu’il traversait lui-même une crise conjugale majeure avec la mère de ses trois enfants, n’est bien sûr pas innocent… L’histoire : Jack est un chauffeur de limousine attachant et socialement un peu inadapté. Il passe le plus clair de son temps avec son ami Clyde et sa femme Lucy. Grâce à eux, il rencontre la fragile et maladroite Connie et en tombe amoureux. Frozen River / Courtney Hunt (2008) Avec Melissa Leo, Misty Upham, Michael O'Keefe… Frozen River est l’unique long-métrage de la réalisatrice Courtney Hunt. Avant cela, elle avait réalisé, dans le cadre de ses études, Althea Faught, court-métrage de 20 minutes. Avant d'être un long-métrage, Frozen River a été tourné en version courte, avec les mêmes actrices. Le film ayant été sélectionné au New-York Festival, Courtney Hunt s'est décidée à développer ce projet plus amplement. L’histoire : Une petite ville américaine à la frontière du Canada. Ray peut enfin offrir à sa famille la maison de ses rêves et bientôt quitter leur préfabriqué. Mais quand son mari, joueur invétéré, disparaît avec leurs économies, elle se retrouve seule avec ses deux fils, sans plus aucune ressource. Alors qu'elle essaie de retrouver la trace de son mari, elle rencontre Lila, jeune mère célibataire d'origine Mohawk, qui lui propose un moyen de gagner rapidement de l'argent. City of ghosts (Jimmy) / Matt Dillon (2002) Avec Matt Dillon, James Caan, Natascha McElhone… Sur un scénario qu’il a développé durant plusieurs années avec l’aide précieuse de Barry Gifford (le complice de David Lynch sur Sailor et Lula et Lost Highway), Matt Dillon met en scène City of ghosts , une aventure policière et humaine au Cambodge. L’histoire : Jimmy, un malfrat américain, est en exil forcé à Bangkok suite à une escroquerie à l'assurance. Apprenant que Marvin, son partenaire et mentor, a refait surface au Cambodge, il se lance à ses trousses pour récupérer sa part. Mais l'homme qu'il cherche est introuvable et Jimmy ne va pas tarder à voir la situation lui échapper. Au nom d'Anna / Edward Norton (2000) Avec Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, Jenna Elfman... Le scénario est original, les personnages sont attachants, les dialogues enlevés et brillants. Pour son premier film, Edward Norton a su trouver le bon équilibre pour nous faire rire et nous émouvoir. L’histoire : À 13 ans, Jake, Brian et Anna étaient inséparables. Un jour, Anna a dû quitter New York pour suivre ses parents, et les garçons ont poursuivi leur amitié. Adultes, Jake est devenu rabbin et Brian prêtre. Lorsqu'Anna ressurgit seize ans plus tard, les sentiments des uns et des autres se troublent. (uniquement disponible en cassette VHS) The war zone / Tim Roth (1999) Avec Freddie Cunlife, Ray Winstone, Tilda Swinton… Après une carrière débutée à 21 ans dans Made in Britain d’Alan Clarke, Tim Roth obtient une reconnaissance mondiale pour son rôle de Mister Orange dans Reservoir Dogs. En 1998, porté par l’envie et poussé par ses enfants, il décide de passer pour la première fois derrière la caméra et d’adapter The war Zone, un roman éponyme d’Alexander Stuart qui traite de l’inceste. Le romancier y assure l’écriture du scénario et il ne transige pas sur la vision de l’histoire. Il garde tout ce qui fit scandale lors de la sortie de son livre. Tim Roth, qui fût lui-même victime d’abus sexuels, puise dans ses souvenirs douloureux toute la sincérité nécessaire au traitement de cette histoire. L’histoire : Pour Tom et ses quinze ans, la zone de guerre se trouve au cœur même de sa famille. Ni pauvre ni riche, apparemment heureuse. Lorsque la famille quitte Londres pour la campagne du Devon, Tom se trouve confronté à la solitude et à l'ennui. Mais rien ne peut le préparer à la découverte du secret qui lie son père, Dad, à sa sœur, Jessie, âgée de dix-huit ans. (uniquement disponible en cassette VHS) Ne pas avaler / Gary Oldman (1997) Avec Ray Winstone, Kathy Burke, Charlie Creed-Miles… Gary Oldman, acteur-vedette international, se replonge dans son enfance pour réaliser un premier film dédié à son père. Avec Ne pas avaler, qui raconte l’autodestruction d’une famille prolétaires anglais pour cause de misère financière et affective, il trouve le juste équilibre entre réalisme et stylisation. Ne pas avaler dépeint la vie quotidienne d'une famille déchirée par la violence, l'alcool et la drogue, sans jamais tomber dans le misérabilisme. (uniquement disponible en cassette VHS) The brave / Johnny Depp (1997) Avec Johnny Depp, Frederic Forrest, Marlon Brando… Considéré comme un des acteurs les plus talentueux de sa génération, Johnny Depp n'était pas encore, à la fin des années 1990, l'acteur ultra « bankable » qu'il deviendra quelques années plus tard sous la bannière Disney avec la saga Pirates des Caraïbes. Entre un solide Donnie Brasco et le psychédélique Las Vegas parano, il réalise son premier long métrage : The Brave. Un film auquel il croit beaucoup, et dans lequel il a même mis de sa poche près de 2 millions de dollars. L’histoire : A Morgantown, bidonville aux confins de la prairie américaine, les gens, d'origines diverses, passent leur temps à boire. C'est là que Raphael vit avec sa femme Rita et leurs deux enfants, au pied du gigantesque dépôt d'ordures que les villageois exploitent pour gagner leur vie. Déterminé à faire vivre sa famille, Raphael se rend en ville à la recherche d'un emploi. Il y rencontre Larry, businessman, puis McCarty, l'ange de la mort, qui lui propose un pacte. Si tu tends l'oreille / Yoshifumi Kondo (1995) Avec Youko Honna, Keiju Kobayashi, Shigeru Tsuyuguchi… Pilier du Studio Ghibli aux côtés de Hayao Miyazaki et Isao Takahata, Yoshifumi Kondo fut un des plus brillants concepteur de personnages et chef animateur au sein du Studio. Il travailla notamment sur Princesse Mononoké, Le Tombeau des lucioles, Porco Rosso, Kiki la petite sorcière... Il fut un temps pressenti comme le successeur de Hayao Miyazaki. Malheureusement, Yoshifumi Kondo décéda brutalement d'une rupture d'anévrisme en 1998, à l'âge de 47 ans, ce qui fut l'une des raisons du départ à la retraite de Miyazaki la même année (Miyazaki reprit finalement ses activités pour réaliser Le Voyage de Chihiro). Unique réalisation de Kondo, Si tu tends l'oreille est un magnifique film, à l'animation gracieuse et élégante, à découvrir impérativement. L’histoire : Shizuku est une jeune collégienne un peu romanesque et passionnée de lecture. Un jour, elle remarque que presque tous les livres qu'elle a lus ont été empruntés auparavant par un certain Seiji Amasawa. Intriguée, elle décide de découvrir qui est ce mystérieux personnage... Disponible à l’espace jeunesse C'est arrivé près de chez vous / Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel, Benoît Poelvoorde (1992) Avec Benoît Poelvoorde, Jacqueline Poelvoorde Pappaert, Nelly Pappaert… À l'origine, c'était le film de fin d'études de Rémy Belvaux à l'INSAS, école bruxelloise francophone de cinéma. Puisqu'il s'agissait d'une parodie de Strip-tease, le film durait une cinquantaine de minutes comme l'émission télévisée. Des scènes supprimées, car jugées inutiles ou médiocres par le professeur, ont été réintégrées et de nouvelles séquences furent tournées quelques années plus tard pour allonger sa durée et rendre possible une sortie en salle. L’histoire : Faux documentaire dans lequel une équipe de journalistes suit Ben, un homme qui a la particularité de tuer pour gagner sa vie. Il s'attaque plus particulièrement aux personnes âgées et aux personnes de classes moyennes. Peu à peu les journalistes vont prendre part aux crimes de Ben.

  • An Actor's Life and Backstage Strife During WWII
    Media Release For immediate release June 18, 2021 An actor’s life and backstage strife during WWII INSPIRED by memories of his years working as a dresser for actor-manager Sir Donald Wolfit, Ronald Harwood’s evocative, perceptive and hilarious portrait of backstage life comes to Melville Theatre this July. Directed by Jacob Turner, The Dresser is set in England against the backdrop of World War II as a group of Shakespearean actors tour a seaside town and perform in a shabby provincial theatre. The actor-manager, known as “Sir”, struggles to cast his popular Shakespearean productions while the able-bodied men are away fighting. With his troupe beset with problems, he has become exhausted – and it’s up to his devoted dresser Norman, struggling with his own mortality, and stage manager Madge to hold things together. The Dresser scored playwright Ronald Harwood, also responsible for the screenplays Australia, Being Julia and Quartet, best play nominations at the 1982 Tony and Laurence Olivier Awards. He adapted it into a 1983 film, featuring Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay, and received five Academy Award nominations. Another adaptation, featuring Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins, made its debut in 2015. “The Dresser follows a performance and the backstage conversations of Sir, the last of the dying breed of English actor-managers, as he struggles through King Lear with the aid of his dresser,” Jacob said. “The action takes place in the main dressing room, wings, stage and backstage corridors of a provincial English theatre during an air raid. “At its heart, the show is a love letter to theatre and the people who sacrifice so much to make it possible.” Jacob believes The Dresser has a multitude of challenges for it to be successful.

  • DICKENS on SCREEN, BFI Southbank's Unprecedented
    PRESS RELEASE 12/08 DICKENS ON SCREEN AT BFI SOUTHBANK IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2012 DICKENS ON SCREEN, BFI Southbank’s unprecedented retrospective of film and TV adaptations, moves into February and March and continues to explore how the work of one of Britain’s best loved storytellers has been adapted and interpreted for the big and small screens – offering the largest retrospective of Dickens on film and television ever staged. February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth and BFI Southbank will host a celebratory evening in partnership with Film London and The British Council featuring the world premiere of Chris Newby’s Dickens in London, the innovative and highly distinctive adaptation of five radio plays by Michael Eaton that incorporates animation, puppetry and contemporary footage, and a Neil Brand score. The day will also feature three newly commissioned short films inspired by the man himself. Further highlights in February include a special presentation of Christine Edzard’s epic film version of Little Dorrit (1988) that will reunite some of the cast and crew members including Derek Jacobi, a complete screening of the rarely seen 1960 BBC production of Barnaby Rudge, as well as day long screenings of the definitive productions of Hard Times (1977) and Martin Chuzzlewit (1994). In addition, there will be the unique opportunity to experience all eight hours of the RSC’s extraordinary 1982 production of Nicholas Nickleby, including a panel discussion with directors Trevor Nunn and John Caird, actor David Threlfall and its adaptor, David Edgar. Saving some of the best for last, the season concludes in March with a beautiful new restoration of the very rare Nordisk version of Our Mutual Friend (1921) and a two-part programme of vintage, American TV adaptations of Dickens - most of which have never been screened in this country before and feature legendary Hollywood stars.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity.
