A Chinese doc, the last Indiana Jones et Black Flies : three proposals of cinema, irrandiant, exciting or disappointing.
Dedicated to the galley slaves of Chinese textiles, Wang Bing’s documentary-river, revealed by the West of the tracks, examines China from every angle and shows young people aged 20 to 25 working to death in sordid clothing workshops. There is the deafening noise of the sewing machines, the loud music, the infernal rhythms, the money that must be demanded from the bosses who threaten to fire employees who are too vindictive, the violence that erupts sporadically, the seedy dormitories , but also, sometimes, love stories between young people… A slave’s life, what!
Filmed over five years, before the Covid, Youth – spring is a sublime and radical work (3h 30 all the same) which amazes and exhausts. Like the workers of the film, we find ourselves immersed in a sensory experience, with a repetition of scenes and a deafening soundtrack to end up completely wrung out. Very quickly, the poor spectator loses his bearings and even forgets that he is attending a doc. Essential.
INDY ON THE CROISETTE
Harrison Ford, 80 years old with strawberries, was visibly moved when all the guests in tuxedos at the Grand Amphithéâtre Lumière rose to cheer him on and he received his honorary palme d’or, for a career often placed under the spotlight. sign of the big disembodied machines (all the more astonishing that he refused Alien, tender passions, crystal trap, Misery, JFK, The Red line, Traffic, Insomnia, A History of Violence…). While we have been announcing for years the fifth part ofIndiana Jones and following a false start with Steven Spielberg, Ford reprized the role he had first played at age 39, saying soberly: ” It’s the last film in the series, and it’s the last time I play the character. I think this will be the last time he appears in a movie. Well, good riddance because The dial of destiny is an absolute failure, old cinema, a bit reactive. Not very inspired, James Mangold continues the pursuits on a green screen, helped by an army of trained computer scientists. The freshness of Spielberg’s films has evaporated, all that remains is a lame script, hysterical chases copied from Mission : impossible and a Harrison Ford who doesn’t even seem to believe in it anymore, while Mads Mikkelsen hardly bothers with his Nazi Cruella look.
During its projection in the Grand amphitheater, Black Flies has divided. Obviously because Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, the gifted filmmaker ofA prayer before dawn, done in immersive hardcore, blood trance. He recounts here the journey of two paramedics – Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan – confronted with poverty, drugs, madness and violence in the seventh circle of hell: New York. The scenario takes on a metro ticket but Sauvaire strikes the uppercuts, multiplies the shocking sequences, with a succession of unforgettable visions and insane work on the sound design. So yes, we can blame him for a few trifles (the hero’s jacket with angel wings, his name, Cross, or the character of his fiancée all the time naked), but there is a telluric power that gnaws at the eyes and heightens the viewer’s tension. It’s called cinema.
