Ce mois-ci : Faites la fête
Until 10/12En novembre 2015, il y a tout juste 10 ans, LaCinetek voyait le jour.

Au programme de ce feu d’artifice, tout ce qui fait le sel de la fête : danses endiablées, champagne à gogo, lumières colorées, sans oublier les règlements de compte amicaux et, bien sûr, les sévères gueules de bois.

Persona
LaCinetek souffle ses dix bougies !
Il y a quelques semaines, nous vous demandions de voter pour le film de votre choix, afin de mieux célébrer avec vous cet anniversaire sous le signe de l'amour du cinéma.
C'est Persona, d'Ingmar Bergman, qui a remporté vos suffrages !
Pensé dans un état de fièvre proche de la transe, le chef d’œuvre de Bergman sort sur les écrans en 1966. Modelant le motif du double, Persona nous guide sur le mince fil qui sépare le soi et les autres, l’individu et le monde, l’esprit et le corps, la folie et la raison, l’intime et l’apparence. Cette plongée dans la psyché humaine est portée par une mise en scène charnelle, véritable expérience physique : des images suggestives à la pellicule prenant feu sous nos yeux, le travail de la matière nous porte au plus près des pulsions qui traversent les corps.
With Bibi Andersson, Liv Ullmann, Gunnar Björnstrand, Margaretha Krook, Jörgen Lindström

Découvrez le cinéma de Stanislav Barabáš avec deux de ses films, Le Chant du pigeon gris (1961) et Le Glas des va-nu-pieds (1965).
Son œuvre se distingue par son authenticité et sa volonté de transmettre un message qui transcende les exigences idéologiques de l'époque. Barabáš s'intéresse de près à la psychologique de ses personnages, à leur monde intérieur, alors qu'ils traversent des situations extrêmes (comme lorsqu'il redonne des visages humains aux victimes anonymes de la guerre). Ses films sont imprégnés d'un fort sentiment d'humanisme et de questions morales, traitant souvent de la complexité et de la fragilité des relations interpersonnelles.
The story of the feature debut of director Stanislav Barabáš is set in the Slovak mountains during the times of the Slovak National Uprising in WW II. Its child characters give an impressive picture of the evil and the meaninglessness of war. The innocence of childhood meets the destructive forces of war, which leave their cruel mark on children´s dreams, desires, and careless games. This film replaces heroic acts from the battlefields with life further away from the frontlines.
A dramatic story from the end of WW II and a remarkable contemplation of the value of true friendship, meaning and purpose of life or the possibility to be human even in inhumane conditions. In a frosty mountain setting a cruel struggle for life takes place. After a fight, two partisans return to their brigade carrying along a young German soldier as a captive. But suddenly, amidst the hopelessness of barren mountains, all protagonists find themselves in a liminal existential situation.

Pier Paolo Pasolini
Alors que Valeur sentimentale de Joachim Trier sort en salle, LaCinetek vous propose de (re)découvrir — c’est de saison — Oslo, 31 août (2011).
Près de 50 ans après Louis Malle, Trier proposait ainsi sa propre adaptation du Feu follet de Drieu La Rochelle, déplaçant l’intrigue dans la capitale norvégienne en ce début de millénaire. Alain/Anders sort de cure de désintoxication et se confronte au monde qu’il avait un temps laissé derrière lui, entre douceur d’un futur possible et amertume des retrouvailles en forme de tentations.
Cette carte blanche met en regard deux partitions de la fragilité de l’équilibre moral, du funambulisme au bord du gouffre, qui sont aussi deux déambulations poétiques à la découverte d’Oslo et Paris.
The life of Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew. Pasolini shows Christ as a Marxist avant-la-lettre and therefore uses half of the text of Matthew.
Tenant sa caméra 16mm, prothèse optique de flâneuse du XXème siècle, Agnès Varda a filmé la 42nd Street à New York en 1966 et sa foule de passants au rythme des Doors. À se perdre avec elle dans les lumières, les corps, les visages et le chaos de New York, surpeuplée et multiculturelle, il y’avait Pier Paolo Pasolini.

"Regard sur" vous invite ce mois-ci à explorer le rapport entre citation et création, au cœur du Mépris de Jean-Luc Godard (1963).
Au milieu des années 50, la Nouvelle Vague lance la “politique des auteurs”, faisant du réalisateur le véritable auteur du film, celui qui en porte la vision par son style et sa mise en scène. Une des signatures du cinéma de Godard, par exemple, réside dans son utilisation des couleurs primaires et de l’écrit à l’écran. Son autre geste emblématique est celui de la citation. Ce dernier point questionne de manière frontale la nature d’un auteur : si ce dernier compose son œuvre par l’usage massif de citations, quid de l’originalité de la création ?
With James Fox, Michael Lonsdale, Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Grant, Peter Vaughan, Emma Thompson, Christopher Reeve
A butler who sacrificed body and soul to service in the years leading up to World War II realizes too late how misguided his loyalty was to his lordly employer.

de la DEFA
La DEFA préserve un ensemble de films ayant marqué l’histoire de l’Allemagne de l’Est, et notamment une série d’œuvres interdites ou censurées, témoignant du désir d’émancipation qui grandit au cours des années 60. L’inventivité artistique côtoie ainsi l’audace de ces cinéastes, qui pointent en creux la corruption, la justice arbitraire et le poids du dogmatisme.
Parmi ces artistes, on trouve notamment une pionnière de l’animation : Sieglinde Hamacher. Elle développe dans ces courts métrages une fantaisie qui ne craint pas de provoquer le régime de la RDA, malgré les tentatives de censure. Dans un véritable esprit de do-it-yourself avant l’heure, par ses traits simples elle donne vie à des paraboles où l’on perçoit une peinture sévère de l’Allemagne de l’Est.
An idealistic teacher is shocked to discover her pupils are already cynical and opportunistic. Her colleague soon grows resentful when she uses new and challenging techniques to help her students overcome obstacles.
Li and Al, not long married, want to divorce. They feel trapped in their marriage and in their one-room apartment. They long for an unconventional, meaningful life, but the search for meaning confounds them.
The Rabbit Is Me was made in 1965 to encourage discussion of the democratization of East German society. In it, a young student has an affair with a judge who once sentenced her brother for political reasons; she eventually confronts him with his opportunism and hypocrisy. It is a sardonic portrayal of the German Democratic Republic's judicial system and its social implications.
A cage is searching for a bird, but all its efforts fail. Without its help, a bird finds a way in. The cage closes its door and stands proudly on a pedestal, for it is now worthy of admiration.
In a raindrop that falls from a leaf and seeps into the earth, beautiful and cruel, happy and sad things happen and interpenetrate.
A wolf wants to take a sheep, but the flock is well guarded. So he disguises himself as a sheep, practices walking, and bleats.
A beetle is fleeing from a bird. No hiding place is safe from its pursuer. So it crawls into a dark crevice that the bird's beak can't reach. The beetle laughs at the bird. It hasn't yet realized that it's sitting in the space between the earth and the sole of a man's shoe.
A flock of birds lands on a telephone line. All their heads point in one direction, but the smallest bird's faces the opposite direction. The boss ignores several of his suggestions. His reputation is at risk, so he orders a U-turn. Now order is restored, everyone looks in the direction of the outsider. Only one wants to do something different...
With great commitment and physical effort, a man crushes stones into gravel. With equal zeal, a woman shapes them into stones. The man then crushes the stones again with diligent effort...
A stoic museum guard acts as a showgirl, leading the audience through a seemingly strange program: Figures from famous paintings emerge from their frames and interact with one another. "Mona Lisa" cleans the helmet of "The Man with the Golden Helmet" and takes the "interest penny" in return. The "Chocolate Girl" drops her tray because of the erotic escapades of the "Tahitian Girl" with "Leda's Swan."
Kafka sees a waitress nibbling from a pot, which she is about to serve. In violent indignation, he complains. His complaint is upheld, and the girl is sentenced to be stoned. Kafka protests, saying he hadn't meant to trigger this, but stones are thrown at the waitress all the more vigorously. Kafka, powerless against the machinery that has been set in motion, takes his own life. Meanwhile, the girl is restored to health and sent back to serve with the pot.
A small man sits on a train station bench. A bulky, initially polite man joins him, reads his newspaper, eats his travel provisions on the train, follows him, harasses him on the bus, in the taxi, and in his house, making himself at home. When the harassed man calls the police, the patrol arrests him, and the ruffian triumphs. The little man is released. Now helplessly exposed to the intruder's harassment, he is thrown out.

À l’occasion de l’exposition consacrée à Chantal Akerman au Jeu de Paume, à partir du 28 septembre, LaCinetek vous propose trois films de sa liste, comme un miroir tendu à son œuvre.
Pierrot le fou d’abord, qui donna envie à Chantal Akerman de faire du cinéma. L’explosion finale migre d’ailleurs jusqu’à Saute ma ville, premier film de la cinéaste sur lequel souffle un vent de liberté au féminin.
Contemporains, Akerman et Fassbinder définissent chacun un regard queer, défiant les représentations sociales et filmiques des genres. L’Année des treize lunes témoigne de cela, à travers le style cru et incisif du cinéaste allemand.
Lors d’un de ses séjours à New York, Akerman découvre Mekas et la scène underground américaine. Walden, c’est tout à la fois un manifeste esthétique et un journal filmé. Cette forme traverse le cinéma d’Akerman, de manière plus ou moins détournée, notamment dans News From Home.
There are three children growing at Tammaru farm – one boy, Margus; and two orphan girls, Mari and Tiina. Tiina is lively and full of energy. Margus holds her very dear to him. Margus’s parents want him to marry Mari instead as she is more their kind. Hotblooded Tiina is completely different from them, and her mother was once executed for being a witch. Mari thinks that Tiina has bewitched Margus and cannot stand this, so she starts to publicly blame her stepsister for being a werewolf.
Anna, the daughter of an elderly owner of Kõrboja farm, is told by her father that if she won’t move into their home farm then it will be sold to strangers. But the farm also needs a master, and Anna has been living in town for years. She comes back home and meets again Villu, her friend from childhood. Villu is still as temperamental as he used to be, and Anna has always been a stubborn one. Now they have grown up. The more fellow villagers find the couple a strange one, the more they are attracted to each other.
16-year-old Mari, raised without a mother by a drunkard father, is put in an orphanage which she immediately, though unsuccessfully, tries to flee from. The sensitive Mari finds it hard to adapt to the coarse manners and brutal games amongst the children. Only gradually does she develop a sense for the similarly difficult fates of her fellow sufferers, who have long forgotten how to cry. She even falls in love for the first time, not with her self-appointed “protector” Tauri, but with the rough-mannered Robi. “Smile at Last” takes a critical realist approach to raising attention to the responsibility over the fate of vulnerable children and adolescents.
Recently freed from prison in Russia, Valentina heads back to Estonia on a quest to find her son Jüri, who she had given up for adoption years ago. With the conviction that their reunion will be a happy ending, Valentina searches high and low until she finds her son in Tartu, adopted by a wealthy family.
