Some French history without

Raphael Pillosio

France, 2009, 1:24

More than six thousand men, women, elderly, children, known as Nomads were interned in France in thirty camps from 1940 to 1946. Our history books are silent on the issue, places of internment have disappeared, our collective memory has not retained much of what happened to the Gypsies during this period. Even the film was not really interested in this tragedy except, of course Tony Gatlif (see his film Freedom) and Raphael Pillosio that with the French without history has made one of the few documentaries on the subject. So with an order of October 4, 1940 that the policy of exclusion and Gypsy internment rages, she stated both that "Gypsies are found in the occupied zone should be transferred to internment camps, guarded by French police. Details are to be set by regional leaders "and secondly" Crossing the Line into the occupied zone is prohibited by their principle. "The whole accompanied by a" definition "concept of the enlarged fairground ... But the rejection of the nomadic population was not born with Vichy. From July 1912 and in force until 1969, the Third Republic imposed an anthropometric and formed a file intended to push the nomads to settle. This file would it have been used for other purposes? Still, at total of 27 internment camps have welcomed Gypsies in France. In search of the last traces of this past Some French uneventful just tells the untold stories of the marginalized and stigmatized population for over a century by the French Republic. Technical language of administration and cold meet men and women who were interned.

Africa 50

Rene Vautier

France, 1950, 17 minutes



In 1949, the League of Education proposes to René Vautier make a film showing "how villagers live in West Africa French ". This film is intended to show students of colleges and high schools in France. Vautier thus arrives in Africa at age 21, without preconceptions. However, his African tour, will release the first film colonialist French.



The coils are clamped by bit, by African friends who return to France. Back in France, Vautier lead them to the League of Education, but police are there to capture the negative. The Interior Ministry develops. While filming must recognize each reel, Vautier arrives to steal coils 21 (of 60) in the presence of policemen. Vautier did the editing and live sound reinforcement in the film, opposite the office of police officer to enter!

The film was for many years prohibited. In 1997, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave him a copy of his film "courageous and necessary," showing that in the 50s was in France a strong anti-colonialist sentiment. Vautier still refuses to apply for a visa and "waiting to be cynical is to seize him again this film that he was first destroyed then offered.



committed documentarian, insatiable informant's lie to large and small conveyor words usually neglected, René Vautier has experienced censorship on virtually all his work. Michael Boujut critic also wrote about him: "It's the director who has had more problems with censorship ... and that has posed the most problems." Today, his films remain poorly known as the television appears reluctant to disseminate ...

Bamako

Abderrahmane Sissako

Mali, France, 2006, 1:58

With: Aissa Maiga, Tiécoura Traoré, Hélène Mamouna Diarra ...



Who has not dreamed, as in anger, to speak publicly to denounce a gross injustice by disqualifying forever the culprits? It is this utopian desire, a sort of primal scene of the revolt that Sissako has pictures here as a film-Trial simple. We are indeed installed in the courtyard of a house in Bamako ocher. Qu'alentour then life goes on, a court sits, with its presidential toga, his defense lawyers and Civil Party, his audience. The fault in question is high: nothing less than the IMF and World Bank meeting, officials of the impoverishment of most SSA countries.



In this trial support, the defense lawyers are rather pale. Difficult to avoid Manichaeism on such a subject. But the gesture of Sissako is closer to the fable, political and poetic. The key is to provide a forum where everyone told People that he has on the heart, in his manner, his own language, educated or not. This court has'm open to fortune, he delivers the speech as anywhere else.

This courtyard, where the filmmaker grew up, where personal history and collective history meet. Sissako returns to remake the world by inviting both locals and real lawyers. The closing of the magistrates who stigmatize the slashing of public services speak for themselves. Whatever the verdict, things have been said. A lawyer has been proud, for example, scan the picture of a needy continent by saying that "Africa is a victim of its wealth." One lawyer called the World Bank work general interest in perpetuity Duly noted.

Nostalgia Light

Patricio Guzman

Spain, Chile, France, 2010, 1:30

Guzman is a major cinematic chroniclers of contemporary history of Chile. We know what price this work was made possible, imprisoned by the Pinochet regime during the coup d'état in 1973, finally released, he chose exile in Paris, Aged 69, he signed today with Nostalgia light film totally unexpected, which bypasses the genre for the better lead to heights of poetry. This film is one of the finest cinematic essays have been seen long ago. Its storyline, complex, is woven with the greatest simplicity. Its interwoven three levels: considerations for Astronomical Research: An Archaeology of Indian foundations and a memory of the dictatorship.

A place brings together these three sensitive layers: the Atacama Desert. This place deemed to be the driest and least conducive to life on our planet, Nostalgia light transforms it into incredibly fertile soil. Because there is both the largest astronomical observatory in the world, the remarkably preserved remains of indigenous civilizations and the bodies of murdered political prisoners during the dictatorship in neighboring camps, before being released into the sands. Each of these realities leads to a particular work of prospecting. Astronomer scans the sky, the archaeologist excavates the soil, dig women missing for twenty-eight years, without intermission, the bowels of the earth.

They share the same obsession with origins, that of the universe, that of civilization, that evil and death. Look into the stars or hands in the sand, they know the same uncertainty, the same sense of relativity and uncertainty, the same tenacity to seek the light in this dark night that surrounds humanity. That makes them as characters, precious and heartbreaking.

It took forty years Patricio Guzman to fight tooth and nail, sharp memory and suffering intimate, leading in this work of cosmic serenity of a bright intellect, sensitivity to crack the stones. At this level, the film becomes more than a movie. A mad embrace the human race, a stellar song for the dead, a life lesson. Silence and Respect . Jacques Mandelbaum

Terrence Malick





The Badlands (Badlands )

Terrence Malick

USA, 1974, 1:35

With Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates

Inspired by the true story of Charlie Stark-Weather, a young offender fifties, evocation of the wild journey of two young lovers who are denied the right to love. They leave in their wake many bodies including the father of the girl, who refused to let her daughter attends a dustman.



Renamed Kit and Holly, these criminals are living in a crazy world where nature is a refuge both cherished and abused. The techniques of hunting and fishing kit, for example, are very specific. To feed, it kills cows with harsh tackles with his car and gun fish on the surface of rivers ... As for Holly, a frail white goose 15 years, it increased the life of plants and animals before that of humans. In his eyes, murder committed by her lover are the natural phenomenon, like the downpour of rain or gust of wind. But the death of an animal's heartbreaking ...

dint, this discrepancy rubbed off on the couple's relationship. Small touches, like a bird of prey, Terrence Malick dissects the cocoon that the two heroes were built. If we look closer, you realize that Kit and Holly were never on the same wavelength. This is the secret of the strange beauty of this film: unlike the Lovers of the Night, Nicholas Ray, or Bonnie and Clyde, Arthur Penn, Badlands is a hymn to love crazy. This is the dissection of a deep misunderstanding. Navy Landrot



Days of Heaven

Terrence Malick

USA , 1979, 1:35

With: Richard Gere, Sam Shepard,

Cannes 1979: Best Director Award.

version restored new print 2010

In 1916, Bill, a worker in a foundry, his girlfriend Abby and her sister Linda are leaving Chicago for harvesting Texas. Seeing it as an opportunity to escape poverty, Abby Bill pushes to yield to the advances of a wealthy farmer, they know suffering from an incurable disease. But ends up falling in love with Abby Farmer's ...


Some films can not sully the term too masterpiece Days of Heaven is one of them . World .

One of these works, both large and concise, which seem to reproduce the full color chart of human feelings, to say everything about everything, and with few words. A melodrama of the fields to the taste of Apocalypse. A glowing mythology of the West. An allegory of happiness impossible Telerama.

Malick films with engineering fields of wheat, the changing skies, the collective work. This search for a reality beyond human Malick sets the style: lyrical, melancholic compared to the history of America and his native violence, torn between heaven and earth, the Bible and the gun, the heaven and hell. Les Inrockuptibles




Terrence Malick is a filmmaker open spaces and inner voices. Voiceover of teenage narrators in The Wild Ride (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), intertwining thoughts of the soldiers of Guadalcanal in The Thin Red Line (1998) thoughts of John Smith and Pocahontas in The New World (2005 ).

With Stanley Kubrick, Terrence Malick film is certainly the most mysterious of recent decades. Finally we know very little about him, so he takes care to control his obsessive image. Born November 30, 1943 in Waco, Texas, Terrence Malick spent her childhood between wheat fields and oil wells, to rub shoulders with farmers and workers seasonal. A love of open spaces that will haunt his future works.

After brilliant studies at Harvard, he began as a reporter from Life and the New Yorker. Joined the Center for Advanced Studies at the American Film Institute, he will meet George Stevens Jr. (producer of future Red Line) and producer Mike Medavoy who undertake to rewrite the script of The Dirty Harry. A command that, if it does not cause a trigger in Terrence Malick. At 28, he launched into realization.



His first film, The Wild Ride (1974), inspired by a story true, recounts the bloody equipped with two lovers who are denied the right to love. The first attempt was unanimously welcomed. According to the critic David Thompson, that even "the first film out of control since the Citizen Kane of Orson Welles." Revealing to the general public Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek Badlands gets the prize for best film at the festival of San Sebastian.


Four years later, he returns with Days of Heaven, elegiac film that is reminiscent of the paintings of Edward Hooper and Andrew Wyeth underlying the displays not American film. Produced for $ 3 million by Paramount, This film haunted by the great outdoors is also about a certain Richard Gere. Fascinated by the work to the point of forgiving the director's perfectionism (two years of assembly), Charlie Bluhdorn, a clutch of Paramount, gave him an advance for his film porochain: Q. But the project did not go up. Terrence Malick disappeared ...



Two decades of silence that will contribute to the legend of the director. Some say he lived in France, from town to town and meditating on various projects. It would also be involved in Good Will Hunting screenplay. Then, to everyone's surprise, more than 20 years after Days of Heaven, he reappears to deliver a war film The Thin Red Line. Based on the novel by James Jones on the battle of Guadalcanal, this feature has the luxury of a four-star cast: Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, George Clooney, Adrien Brody, Nick Nolte, John Travolta, Jim Caviezel .. . Everyone wants to work with Terrence Malick. But the film, released shortly after "Saving Private Ryan, will win a succes d'estime and walk away empty-handed from the Oscars.





After seven years of absence behind the camera, in 2005, Terrence Malick turns a historical epic on the legend of Pocahontas: The New World, with Colin Farrell in the lead role.
