Steve McQueen, cin\u00e9aste tr\u00e8s en vue, s’attaque au difficile th\u00e8me de l’esclavage pour livrer un long m\u00e9trage bas\u00e9 sur l’autobiographie d’un noir n\u00e9 libre \u00e0 New York, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 enlev\u00e9 et vendu \u00e0 des esclavagistes. Le r\u00e9alisateur met son acteur principal Chiwetel Ejiofor \u00e0 rude \u00e9preuve et la violence que ce dernier subit n’est jamais masqu\u00e9e. Le corps et ses blessures sont film\u00e9es de pr\u00e8s, la souffrance est au coeur du film et touche aussi – toutes proportions gard\u00e9es – le public. D’autant que fid\u00e8le \u00e0 la r\u00e9putation qui le pr\u00e9c\u00e8de, McQueen n’h\u00e9site pas \u00e0 faire durer certaines sc\u00e8nes \u00e0 la limite de l’insoutenable. Mais contrairement \u00e0 Shame<\/i><\/a> – rendu parfois peu cr\u00e9dible d\u00fb \u00e0 une mise en sc\u00e8ne trop appuy\u00e9e – la r\u00e9alisation porte ici \u00e0 merveille le douloureux sujet. Une sc\u00e8ne cl\u00e9 o\u00f9 Solomon est pendu \u00e0 un arbre devient ainsi un calvaire pour le spectateur qui endure le plan fixe pendant de longues minutes ; mais McQueen a la bonne id\u00e9e de venir le casser avec un arri\u00e8re-plan mobile – qui souligne l’atrocit\u00e9 de la sc\u00e8ne en montrant de la vie avec les autres esclaves oblig\u00e9s de voir leur compagnon agoniser – et m\u00eame une femme venant aider tant qu’elle le peut notre pauvre h\u00e9ros. Une autre s\u00e9quence sublime voit un Solomon r\u00e9sign\u00e9, tentant de retrouver la foi en reprenant un chant religieux avec ses compagnons d’infortune. Tr\u00e8s \u00e9mouvant \u00e9galement ce moment o\u00f9 l’on comprend mieux encore la sc\u00e8ne d’introduction et toute l’utilit\u00e9 que rev\u00eat l’encre qui se fait rare. Continuons des \u00e9loges bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9s en saluant la beaut\u00e9 des images, qui lors des sc\u00e8nes dans la nature, font penser \u00e0 du Malick (les champs et le ciel de Days of Heaven<\/i><\/a>) ou du Weir (on retrouve une sc\u00e8ne de construction quasi-similaire \u00e0 celle de Witness<\/i><\/a>) : on a fait pire comme mod\u00e8le. Et si Chiwetel Ejiofor a \u00e9t\u00e9 salu\u00e9 \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises, n’oublions pas Lupita Nyong’o (Patsey) qui dans un r\u00f4le plus discret est tout aussi remarquable. Moins sous le feu des projecteurs, Michael Fassbender d\u00e9croche pourtant le r\u00f4le le plus complexe, comme dans Shame<\/i><\/a> du m\u00eame r\u00e9alisateur. Que reprocher alors \u00e0 12 Years a slave<\/i> ? Sans doute son sc\u00e9nario pas tout \u00e0 fait \u00e0 la hauteur de cette mise en sc\u00e8ne : le film repose presque trop sur ses quelques s\u00e9quences qui sortent du lot. Quand Tarantino s’attaque au m\u00eame th\u00e8me, cela donne un western d\u00e9jant\u00e9 avec un c\u00f4t\u00e9 fictionnel assum\u00e9, et un esclave qui se rebelle : Django Unchained<\/i><\/a>. Certes on ne demandait pas \u00e0 12 Years a slave<\/i> de divertir ; mais de la juxtaposition de sc\u00e8nes entrecoup\u00e9es d’ellipses ressort un manque de coh\u00e9rence de l’ensemble. McQueen, brillant metteur en sc\u00e8ne, doit simplement devenir un meilleur conteur pour figurer parmi les plus grands.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3619,"template":"","actor":[2728,2732,2803,2768,2762,2757,2742,2766,2725,2735,2780,2811,2417,2737,2743,2812,2781,2807,2722,2733,2745,2804,2747,2791,2763,2773,2775,2741,2752,2740,2783,2792,2787,2802,2739,2793,2765,2799,2785,2771,2761,2758,2806,2777,2797,2774,2788,2784,2790,2753,2778,2782,2810,2786,2805,2736,2769,2794,2759,2724,2750,2754,2789,2723,2731,2746,2764,2796,2760,2726,2730,2738,2755,2795,2756,2727,2729,2770,2779,2798,2748,2734,2801,2767,2813,2749,2744,2772,2809,2808,2751,2800,2776],"collection":[2815],"genre":[2671,2814],"class_list":["post-3576","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","actor-adepero-oduye","actor-alfre-woodard","actor-andre-robinson","actor-andre-shanks","actor-andy-dylan","actor-anwan-glover","actor-ashley-dyke","actor-austin-purnell","actor-benedict-cumberbatch","actor-bill-camp","actor-blake-burt","actor-bob-walker","actor-brad-pitt","actor-bryan-batt","actor-cameron-zeigler","actor-caroline-grace-williamson","actor-carroll-burt","actor-chaz-smith","actor-chiwetel-ejiofor","actor-chris-chalk","actor-christopher-berry","actor-corrina-roshea","actor-craig-tate","actor-cynthia-leblanc","actor-deneen-tyler","actor-devin-maurice-evans","actor-devyn-a-tyler","actor-dickie-gravois","actor-douglas-m-griffin","actor-dwight-henry","actor-edward-j-clare","actor-elton-leblanc","actor-emily-d-haley","actor-erin-rementer","actor-garret-dillahunt","actor-gerard-jerry-lewis","actor-gregory-bright","actor-haley-powell","actor-haylie-creppel","actor-isaiah-jackson","actor-j-d-evermore","actor-james-c-victor","actor-jarett-shorts","actor-jason-ament","actor-jason-owen","actor-jay-huguley","actor-jim-johnson","actor-jj-coker","actor-john-c-klein","actor-john-mcconnell","actor-jon-arthur","actor-joseph-randy-causin","actor-justin-christopher-vaughn","actor-justin-edward-davis","actor-katherine-jeanie-russell","actor-kelsey-scott","actor-kelvin-harrison-jr","actor-kevonte-mcdonald","actor-liza-j-bennett","actor-lupita-nyongo","actor-marc-macaulay","actor-marcus-lyle-brown","actor-mark-joyce","actor-michael-fassbender","actor-michael-kenneth-williams","actor-mister-mackey-jr","actor-mustafa-harris","actor-myesha-tiara","actor-nicole-collins","actor-paul-dano","actor-paul-giamatti","actor-quvenzhane-wallis","actor-richard-holden","actor-ritchie-montgomery","actor-rob-steinberg","actor-sarah-paulson","actor-scoot-mcnairy","actor-scott-m-jefferson","actor-sean-paul-braud","actor-shawn-parsons","actor-storm-reid","actor-taran-killam","actor-terrell-ransom-jr","actor-thomas-francis-murphy","actor-timothy-wyant","actor-tom-proctor","actor-tony-bentley","actor-topsy-chapman","actor-tre-tureaud","actor-tyler-soerries","actor-vivian-fleming-alvarez","actor-wayne-pere","actor-willo-jean-baptiste","collection-steve-mcqueen","genre-drame","genre-histoire"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi.jpg",2000,3000,false],"thumbnail":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi-200x300.jpg",200,300,true],"medium_large":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi-768x1152.jpg",768,1152,true],"large":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi-683x1024.jpg",683,1024,true],"1536x1536":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi.jpg",1024,1536,false],"2048x2048":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi.jpg",1365,2048,false],"neve-blog":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi.jpg",413,620,false],"rpwe-thumbnail":["http:\/\/www.balie.me\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AeoXonCArZda8vgBb7IbXiUJsdi-45x45.jpg",45,45,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Babou
