542Hallelujah the Hills d’Adolfas Mekas États-Unis 1963 35mm 82’ nb vostf avec Peter Beard, Marty Greenbaum, Sheila Finn, Peggy Steffans, Jerome Hill, Taylor Mead Adolfas Mekas arrive aux États-Unis avec son frère Jonas en 1949. Ils fondent Film Culture, une revue consacrée au cinéma indépendant. Nourri par les films qui l’ont précédé, Adolfas réalise Hallelujah the Hills qui témoigne de cette culture en même temps que d’une immense liberté que l’on retrouvera dans tous les films du New American Cinema. « Tourné suivant le bon vieux principe d’une idée par plan, ses collines embaument de fraîche ingénuité et de gentillesse rusée. L’effort physique y côtoie hardiment le gag intellectuel. On s’émeut et on rit d’un rien un buisson mal cadré, une banane dans la poche, une majorette dans la neige… » Jean-Luc Godard, Les Cahiers du cinéma, 1963 « Créons un territoire à nous, loin de l’Amérique des buildings et des rêves de puissance, dans des forêts laissées vierges par le tout pouvoir. Vivons l’instant et les sensations, les possibles fugues de l’amitié et de nos rêves […]. Revenons aux fonds précieux de nos rêves et de notre culture (du coutumier aux plus grands films en passant par le folklore), à l’origine de la création, au désir qui, seul, motive l’artiste et lui permet de s’affranchir de diverses contraintes, de libérer l’esprit et le corps, au prix de quelques moments d’anarchie, qui sont le gage d’une virginité féconde. Improvisons notre vie et notre cinéma, jusqu’à (en) mourir pour lui. » Frédérique Devaux, « Hallelujah the Hills, Petit traité d’improvisation ludique », livret du DVD édité par Re Voir -
弗兰得狂欢节
38Released in France as La Kermesse Heroique, Carnival in Flanders is set during the long-ago war between the Dutch and Spanish. A tiny village in Flanders is invaded by Spanish troops. The townsfolk have heard of Spanish cruelties in other towns, and decide to deflect the vanquishers by playing dead. This isn't terribly effective (you have to take a breath once in a while), so the wife of the burgomaster tries to soften up the invaders with a lavish carnival. So successful is this venture that the Spaniards allow the village to escape being decimated, or even taxed. An award-winner many times over, Carnival in Flanders was banned in Germany; evidently, Goebbels caught on that director Jacques Feyder and scenarists Bernard Zimmer and Charles Spaak were drawing deliberate parallels between the Spanish and the then-burgeoning Nazis. -

526Society sleuths Nick and Nora Charles investigate a murder aboard a floating casino. Nick and Nora Charles are attending a charity benefit aboard a gambling ship. After a murder occurs, suspicion falls on Phil Brant, who had argued with the victim earlier in the evening. When Phil and his wife seek help from Nick and Nora, Nick refuses to get involved. But when shots are fired outside his own apartment, Nick begins to investigate, and he soon finds himself in a confusing case with numerous suspects. Nick and Nora Charles were the ultimate screen couple, husband and wife detectives, always in step and never missing an opportunity to outwit one another as they solved each crime, which they did just in time for the movie's ending. Myrna Loy was a fantastic Nora, the ideal wife and considering she made 14 movies with William Powell, she made it look like they were really married. The Thin Man movies, all six of them, played more like sophisticated screwball comedies than murder mysteries, and their comic banter enhanced the proceedings. Their little wire-haired terrier, Asta, quite often stole the scene as he helped sleuth out the guilty party. He was a great little actor and rumor had it that away from the Thin Man movies, Asta was really Skippy. However, the six Thin Man movies credit this cute pooch as Asta. -
