Suzanna Andler, 2021
Casanova, Last Love (Benoît Jacquot, 2019)
cinematography: Christophe Beaucarne

Je suis sortie plus que mitigée de ce “à jamais”: à la fois, je n’ai pas accroché à l’histoire et au personnage de Laura - Julia Roy, qui ressemble de façon assez troublante à Isild le Besco que je m’attendais à voir au générique d’après l’affiche - et à la fois je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher de ressentir un trouble qui montre que le film ne m’a pas non plus laissée indifférente. Je ne connais pas le livre de Don DeLillo dont s’inspire le scénario de la même Julia Roy mais après en avoir lu un résumé, il semble qu’il ait été excessivement simplifié et perdu un peu de son intérêt pour être cantonné à une bête histoire de pseudo-fantôme, incarnation de la difficulté par la jeune femme de faire son deuil et d’une presque folie consécutive. Le film pêche par de nombreux défauts à mon sens: un coup de foudre peu plausible, une musique trop insistante pour marquer les moments d’inquiétude et une Julia Roy au jeu trop fadasse. Mais la caméra de Benoît Jacquot la filme assez sublimement, presque amoureusement. La scène où Amalric (Rey) la surprend en train de se déshabiller est très belle dans sa fulgurance, le regard qu’elle lui jette et son dos nu sont beaucoup plus troublants que la scène de “body art” où il succombait un peu plus tôt. Mathieu Amalric et Jeanne Balibar sont égaux à eux-mêmes mais plutôt bien dans leur rôle respectif. Quant à la maison, située au Portugal et on ne comprend pas vraiment pourquoi, elle est plutôt bien choisie avec tous ses grands espaces ouverts, sa proximité de la mer et son jardin sauvage.
New trailer for Never Ever (dir. Benoit Jacquot).
Never Ever (TBA)
Benoit Jacquot’s À Jamais, based on Don DeLillo’s novella The Body Artist, is as brilliantly imagined and highly disciplined a film as you will see this year. Elegant, meticulous, deliberate — it’s a work whose logic forcefully propels the narrative from the opening shots. In this moving story of a love affair and its strange fate, Jacquot turns the screws while taking us through a series of emotions, all carefully elicited in his desire to get to the core of DeLillo’s unsettling story.
The film swirls around a self-centred filmmaker (Mathieu Amalric) who, during a screening of one of his films, wanders into an adjoining gallery and becomes mesmerized by a young performance artist (Victoria Guerra). Dumping his leading lady and long-time lover, Rey embarks on a wild and delirious affair with the equally willing Laura, who jumps on the back of his motorcycle and rides with him into instantaneous love. Holed up in Rey’s remote country mansion, the couple appears to have found bliss — until, one day, Laura is disturbed by strange noises that turn out to be a prelude to disconcerting developments. The dreamlike world the two have constructed slowly begins to come apart.
