PLEIN SOLEIL

Un de mes films français préférés.

Pour son esthétisme, sa qualité photographique absolument extraordinaire, mais aussi son scénario, adapté du livre de Patricia Highsmith.

La fresque de René Clément restera à tout jamais un classique du cinéma français, grâce à notamment sa modernité, ses plans serrés absolument inoubliables, et ses magnifiques couleurs saturées. Plein Soleil, c’est une part d’intimité divulguée au public, l’immiscion dans la déroute d’un homme qui voudra vivre la vie d’un autre, et qui usurpera son identité jusqu’à la chute. 

Derrière le thriller se cache une analyse psychologique rudement bien mise en scène, le sang froid inébranlable d’un manipulateur, profiteur, rongé par les vices... Comparer le piètre remake du film : “Le talentueux Mr Ripley” serait particulièrement interessant à analyser, du fait que les deux protagonistes soient complètement différents. D’un coté Delon joue le rôle d’un homme insaisissable, charismatique, sûr de lui ; de l’autre, Damon joue le rôle d’un garçon faible, sans semblant de perspicacité, de personnalité, voire niais. Le spectateur subit les conséquences de ses actes et demeure impuissant tout au long du film. 

Mais, pour effacer ne serait-ce que le vague souvenir de ce navet, revenons en à notre film (qui l’écrase largement.) 

Le film conquit l’ouïe du public, grâce à Nino Rota, compositeur des plus grands, venant sublimer de plus bel la toile de Clément de ses notes de musique.

Comment ne pas parler de la manière dont s’achève le film ? Une fin inoubliable, jouissive, extraordinaire, quel coup de génie ! 

One of my favorite French films.

For its aestheticism, its absolutely extraordinary photographic quality, but also its scenario, adapted from the book of Patricia Highsmith.

René Clément's fresco will remain forever a classic of French cinema, thanks to its modernity, its absolutely unforgettable tight shots, and its magnificent saturated colors. Plein Soleil is a piece of intimacy revealed to the public, the intrusion into the rout of a man who wants to live the life of another, and who will usurp his identity until his fall.

Behind the thriller lies a psychological analysis, rudely staged, the unshakeable cold blood of a manipulator, profiteer, eaten away by vices... Comparing the poor remake of the film: "The Talented Mr. Ripley" would be particularly interesting to analyze, since the two protagonists are completely different. On the one hand, Delon plays the role of an elusive, charismatic, self-confident man; on the other hand, Damon plays the role of a weak boy, without any semblance of insight, personality, or even naivety. The viewer suffers the consequences of his actions and remains powerless throughout the film.

But, to erase even the vague memory of this turnip, let's get back to our film (which largely crushes it.)

The film conquered the audience's ears, thanks to Nino Rota, composer of the greatest, who came to sublimate Clement's canvas with his musical notes.

How can we not talk about the way the film ends? An unforgettable, enjoyable, extraordinary end, what a stroke of genius!
