Arletty

2. Dünya Savaşı sırasında Amerikalılar ve Fransızların beraber düzenledikleri Normandiya çıkarmasının yapıldığı gün olan D-Day'de geçiyor film. Bir düzine karakter eşliğinde müttefik kuvvetlerin yaşadığı en uzun günün hikayesi. Filmin en büyük özelliği birbirinden ünlü pek çok oyuncunun yer alması...

Sinema tarihinin en önemli filmlerinden birisi. Filmin tarihi bağlamda ifade edilmesi bir yana, özellikle seyirciye seslenen murder plot, aşk hikayesi vs. yönlerinin olması bunun nedenleri arasında sayılabilir. Carne & Prevert işbirliğini de bu başarıda gözardı etmemeliyiz. 1940′ların ortalarına doğru Fransız Sinemasının konumlandırılmasına bakıldığında bunda Marcel Carne ve onun ekibininin önemi gözler önüne serilir. Öyküde 1827-1828 yılları Fransa’sına panaromik bir bakış gözler önüne serilmektedir. Bu sahne özellikle akılda tutulmalıdır, filmin son sahnelerinde bu tip bir panaromik bakışa adeta simetri oluştururcasına geri dönülecektir. Açılış sahnesinin etrafında bulunan binalar seyircide derinlik hissi oluşturacak şekilde dizilmiştir ki bu izleyicide bir göz yanılması uyandırır. Ayrıca bu küçük setlerde, göz yanılması ve algı oyunlarıyla seyirciyi büyülemek amacıyla cüceler kullanılmıştır.

Önce, genç ve güzel çiçekçi Françoise’la karşılaşması…Marcel Carné’nin savaş öncesinde çektiği son filmi Gün Ağarıyor, neredeyse geleceği gören bir kötümserliğe sahip bir yapıt. Her şeyin baştan inşa edildiği, hedeflenen heyecanı yaratmak üzere milim milim hesaplandığı stüdyo filmlerinin zirvesi. Aynı zamanda Fransız “şiirsel gerçekçiliği”nden büyük ölçüde etkilenen Amerikan film-noir’larında flash-back’in önemli bir yer tutacağını da haber veriyor.

Charismatic and resourceful, seducer and daredevil, Jean-Paul Belmondo has always played his roles as he lived, at a thousand miles an hour. He had only one passion: to entertain the public with his smile, his naturalness, his energy, his stunts. But contrary to appearances, his destiny was full of pitfalls. This film lifts the veil on a founding childhood that allowed him to overcome many obstacles throughout his life thanks to the tutelary figures of his father and mother. Told from the inside with the help of his autobiography, interviews and unpublished archives, this epic story traces the career of this turbulent young actor who launched the New Wave in Breathless before becoming the popular Bebel, an indestructible and provocative vigilante. From film to film, this documentary paints an intimate portrait of a man who built himself up to reach the top: his triumphs but also his trials, his doubts, his secrets, his angers, his clowning, his disappointments or his personal dramas.

We thought we'd seen, read, and heard everything there was to see about the Cannes Film Festival, from the glitz and gossip to the scandals and censorship. And yet, Emmanuel Barnault's "Morceaux de Cannes" (Pieces of Cannes), by this leading expert on Italian and French cinema, convinces us otherwise. The third largest event in the world (after the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup) reveals its secrets only sparingly, as this film attests. The result of passionate research in the INA archives, these 52 minutes, without interviews or voice-over narration, string together rare and sometimes previously unseen footage. Taken together, they tell a surprising, original, and heartwarming story of the Festival. On the beach, on a street corner, in a restaurant, or in the privacy of a hotel room, these forgotten archives summon the greatest filmmakers, actors, and actresses of the last seventy years, from Jean Cocteau to David Lynch, for an anthology of the Festival's history.
