EDEN LAKE (2008) Les films du britannique James Watkins (THE WOMAN IN BLACK, 2012) sont rares, et ce n’est pas son BASTILLE DAY (2016) retiré des salles qui dira le contraire: retour en 2008 avec son premier long-métrage, le réputé Eden Lake, survival dangereusement réaliste. Emmenant un Michael Fassbender pas encore omniprésent sur les écrans -bien qu’il le crevait dans 300 (2007) en incarnant le valeureux Stelios- en rôle principal/secondaire aux côtés de l’anti-héroïne d’EDEN LAKE, le récit narre le pire week-end en couple que l’on peut imaginer: sa cible, des enfants mal éduqués. Partant en amoureux au bord d’un lac, la maîtresse d’école Jenny et son petit ami Steve vont se retrouver emmerdés pas une bande de jeunes gens agressifs, jusqu’à transformer la storyline en chasse à l’homme (ici femme, en l’occurence): débutant sur une tentative de communication échouée, le couple va affronter la véhémence du groupe de délinquants. Un parallèle intéressant avec le métier de la protagoniste principale, plongeant Jenny dans l’obligation de recourir aux “grands moyens” pour sauver un Steve rapidement mal en point. EDEN LAKE est le malaise pur, ce ressenti d’abus prenant le pas sur un point de non-retour duquel il faut se dépêtrer coûte que coûte: capturés, torturés et volés par les sales gamins tenaces, Steve et Jenny seront contraints d’agir, plus que de réfléchir, pour sauver leur peau de vacanciers-victimes. Le monstre est humain, et l’aspect sociologique omniprésent: cette connexion, face à la sauvagerie des actes, rappelle forcément cette influence très seventies des films de genre “rape & revenge” tels que I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978) ou THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (1972) pour ne citer qu’eux. Une référence assumée confirmée par le réalisateur, ce dernier brouillant légèrement les pistes quant à la valeur du bien et du mal lors de séquences gênantes d’EDEN LAKE, lieu forestier isolé propice à ce genre de fait divers glauque à souhait. En effet, les quatre-cent coups des sales gosses se reflètent dans la survie de Jenny, qui passera de la prof toute mignonne à la femme primale, recouverte de sang et de boue, prête à tuer pour survivre: un aspect que l’on retrouvera dans THE DESCENT - PART. 2 (2009), au script écrit par... James Watkins, évidemment. EDEN LAKE, c’est le mauvais endroit ET le mauvais moment: l’inéluctable unhappy end vient confirmer le parti pris de la démonstration plus que de la leçon, malmenant les fondations morales de son spectateur. Sans artifices clinquants, EDEN LAKE donne presque les pleins pouvoirs à l’antagoniste tyrannique Brett, ce jeune hooligan “paysan” manipulant ses sous-fifres avec une rare cruauté, chantages et menaces à l’appui: l’idée du danger se rapproche de la jeunesse, écartant cette notion de pouvoir que peut exercer un adulte. Intéressant mais dérangeant, EDEN LAKE nous fait assister à ce qui aurait pu prendre la forme d’un dramatique found-footage: James Watkins met pourtant un point d’honneur à réaliser un film bien construit, allant au bout de son propos de “sale histoire”. De la simple remarque à l’acte de trop, ou bien simplement l’erreur humaine, EDEN LAKE est l’équation de la malchance, forçant le destin de la pire des manières. Bien que peu sanglant -et s’écartant du torture-porn-, EDEN LAKE est un bon petit trauma, qui stoppe net l’envie d’aller faire du camping sauvage, tout comme JAWS (1975) dissuadait en son temps d’aller faire trempette. Notons que le film nous livre un personnage féminin assez badass -pas autant qu’une Ellen Ripley, mais y’a matière à faire- une fois celle-ci soumise à cette survie forcée, là où d’autres productions auraient choisi à Fassbender de mener le combat pour sauver la miss. Essentiel, EDEN LAKE souffe d’un seul bémol, celui du revisionnage, le fait de connaître sa fin empêchant la surprise d’être efficace à nouveau. Hormis ce petit point négatif, vous n’avez aucune raison de passer à côté de cet excellent film d’horreur teinté de survival, qui vous mettra bien mal à l’aise, jusqu’à son dénouement froidement réaliste, frustrant dans le bon sens du terme. Un expérience savoureusement inconfortable, tout à fait légitime. DISCOMFORT /20
Gone from the land of the morning calm into the belly of the bulldog
In North Korea, I lived for Kim Jong Il. In England I live for myself.
My name is Joo and my journey back to the (sarcastic) land of opportunity was no struggle. It was the aftermath of which that was far more more brutal to say the least.
I did once live in England but I was really to young to even remember. It however is a free country and that is why I came back. No more regime,no more dictatorship and no more lies (he smirks and laughs to himself)(sarcastic) well im not so sure about that last one. England (pause) it is not the same, just a different kind of bad. I struggle to find my new identity in a new culture I never really got familiar with in the first place.
Hey,(sighs starring blankly) its not all bad. I don’t really fit in. so in a way I get to be experience the freedom I never knew back in Korea. (smiling) Its… its.. quite stunning really, the vast open space (breaks away from his day dream) . whereas in North Korea its just grey, upon grey! upon (anger fades) … even more grey with the occasional picture of our lord and savior Kim Jong Il plastered on street corners.
(sarcastic) Heh, lord and savior my arse.
(thinking to himself) I’m in limbo. I cannot go back yet its hard for me to find my being in England. so tell me which is the lesser of two evils?

The Falls and Lights BW by James Watkins Via Flickr: Better Large-Niagara Falls is an American spectacle and historical treasure seen well at night under revolving colored lights. Its detail and contrast at night make it a prime candidate for monotone. The spray is hypnotical and mystical. This is the American Falls...you can see the Canadian Falls in the upper right corner...just as beautiful! 0018 FOR THOSE INTERESTED I HAVE AN EXHIBITION AT THIS LINK <a href=" www.flickr.com/groups/inspiringcollection/discuss/7215762... A poem of myself (So far) (James watkins) I was shot from a gun, chased by time past pig, pain portals- beyond blood battered walls, whetted, washed, and wondering. My stars burning, growing in love’s lucid light, nursed and nutured in stone- flooded and flowering in bare… bright dreams. Childhood floated down driveways, fell sweet from scented, hidden lookout trees- bicycles for breakfast- mothers, brothers, and families for free. Secured by father, knee deep in friends, i ran -hair on fire- blazed in brightness- weekend wild- bludgeoned by desires- and tendered by traps and crimes. In storms i slew myself- jumped solid ship into timeless sea, filled the ancient heart longing, healed the word wounded warrior of the soul. Made peace with time, sucked fullness of day and night, walked in smoldering suns, swam clear deep streams- and sang the song of songs! Torched by bridges, burning face first into new dawn, came full round the sun circle- armed with nuclear wings- violently flighted, fast falling forward- to fathom beginning and ending of all things. And ride the flood waters of opening plains- with multiplied words of tortured kings- resting, completed, tempered, and full- in fallen disguise of my destiny. James watkins 4-2007
