- DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsEthan HawkeUma ThurmanJude LawA genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.Solide film d'argument d'anticipation (sur le thème de l'eugénisme, du conformisme) à la mise en scène soignée (notamment les décors et le cadre), mais contenant quelques longueurs -et invraisemblances-, en particulier des mécaniques scénaristiques conventionnelles qui n'étaient pas nécessaires (ou alors ne sont pas abouties). La sauce est allongée pour compenser le trop mince prétexte : un exclu du système est prêt à tout pour voyager dans l'espace (et il séduit la plus jolie fille des environs, après avoir coupé, sans raison, tout contact avec sa famille pourtant sympa... le spectateur reste sceptique.)
Un moche filtre jaune-sépia gâche souvent l'image. À noter que ce procédé a ensuite été copié, par exemple dans "Amélie Poulain".
En fin de compte, une politiquement correcte (libérale : "qui veut peut") critique du conformisme, dans une forme plutôt conformiste.
Petit 9 - DirectorMamoru OshiiStarsMalgorzata ForemniakWladyslaw KowalskiJerzy GudejkoIn a dystopian world, a woman spends her time playing an illegal and dangerous game, hoping to find meaning in her world.10.
Vu à sa sortie à l'Actor's Studio. Et revu quelques années plus tard à la cinémathèque. - DirectorJames June SchneiderStarsLou CastelKarine AdroverNehra StellaIn a future present, a rebellious Veronique finds herself working for an inventor who has dedicated himself to the cause of a positive darkness; he is working to counter the tide of a bright, diffuse, and technologically oriented time as represented in the film by man-made light. Veronique's brother Alix works for an agency that is attempting to thwart the process. The film evolves from acted scenes into a lyrical universe including archive and other found sound and image.Vu lors de sa projection au Nova (en 2008 ?)
J'avais coté 9 et me souviens, +/_ huit ans plus tard, d'une utilisation des décors comparable à celle de Jean-Luc Godard dans "Alphaville" (1965).
Lou Castel m'avait adressé la parole à la fin de la séance. - DirectorDuncan JonesStarsSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottAstronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.Long métrage intelligent sur le clonage humain, au scénario astucieux, mais à l'esthétique très fin des années 2000 (notamment les couleurs, le langage du personnage, la caméra tenue à l'épaule et donc instable.)
à remarquer : des décors à l'ancienne.
petit 9 - DirectorNeill BlomkampStarsSharlto CopleyDavid JamesJason CopeViolence ensues after an extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth finds a kindred spirit in a government agent exposed to their biotechnology.Serait le meilleur film de SF récent ?
À voir. - DirectorBong Joon HoStarsChris EvansJamie BellTilda SwintonIn a future where a failed climate change experiment has killed all life except for the survivors who boarded the Snowpiercer (a train that travels around the globe), a new class system emerges.Gros budget ("semi-blockbuster intelligent") au casting majoritairement américains et au cinéaste sud coréen, tourné en studio à Prague. Frustrant, mieux vaut ne pas chercher le réalisme.
Quelques scènes conventionnelles, d'autres trop confuses et des longueurs, des invraisemblances ou incohérences (Le train, vu de l'extérieur, tremble et fait un bruit d'enfer. Pourtant à l'intérieur rien ne bouge et il y a juste un vague bruit de fond. D'où vient la viande ? Pourquoi utiliser l'énergie pour un train, alors que les rails et ponts exigent de l'entretien, particulièrement sous ces conditions climatiques ? Etc.), des personnages principaux peu développés (le spectateur ne s'identifie pas), mais une efficace actualisation de la b.d. dans une esthétique de jeu vidéo, avec plus de violence tarantinesque malheureusement non-chorégraphiée. Dans les scènes de froid (wagon-frigo, extérieur), la respiration des humains n'est pas visible. Le réalisateur semble ne pas savoir comment terminer son film.
Projet pas abouti qui méritait plus d'ambition et de rigueur. Surtout intéressant cinématographiquement (décors baroques, brusques et grotesques changements de rythme, etc.), bien que les extérieurs (train et paysages), totalement en images de synthèse, ne sont pas suffisamment réalistes. Reste quand même une œuvre mineure originale qui peut remuer le grand public. « Know your place. Accept your place. Be a shoe. »
Petit 9. Il faudrait surtout lire la b.d. - DirectorJérémie PérinStarsLéa DruckerMathieu AmalricDaniel Njo LobéSet in the 23rd century on Mars, the plot follows the investigation on a murder case carried out by the couple formed by private investigator Aline Ruby and her android companion Carlos Rivera."Blade Runner" (1982) intelligemment actualisé, dont les compositions graphiques rappellent un peu le chef-d'œuvre de Satoshi Kon "Perfect Blue" (1997).
La qualité de l'animation est souvent époustouflante.
Certains plans dépassent le cadre cinématographique pour entrer dans l'Histoire de l'art.
Attention : il est indispensable de le regarder en n'étant ni fatigué, ni soucieux. Lire le début du résumé pourrait également faciliter.
J'ai dû le revoir plusieurs fois pour en saisir toute la richesse.
Les musiques froides et tristes correspondent parfaitement à notre époque, qui prouve que George Orwell et le James Cameron de "The Terminator" (1984) étaient des visionnaires. Ils avaient prophétisé la prise de pouvoir par l'intelligence artificielle, qui ne fera « qu'appliquer les lois », auparavant inapplicables.
