The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

, Indiana Jones, reporter

Neither quite a film, nor quite a cartoon, here comes Steven Spielberg's Tintin, adapted from three albums by Hergé. How not to betray the clear line by using the digital technique of "motion capture"? Certain scrogneugneux and other exegetic tintinophiles will surely be put off. Yet the energy is there. Life circulates under the digital make-up of Englishman Jamie Bell, alias Tintin, and Captain Haddock, admirably played by Andy Serkis. Let's say it clearly: Steven Spielberg and Jackson have achieved the feat of not betraying the spirit of Tintin. Imbued with action, humor and suspense, the film is as twirling as it is virtuoso. We find there the innocence and the joyful candor that animated the first films of the director of

ET

and the

Indiana Jones

trilogy

.

This film is at the convergence between the mystery novel, the detective film and the adventure epic.

Tintin's new avatar will appeal to future generations, from 7 to 77 years old.

The hero is always so fast, curious, enthusiastic, reporter at heart.

And he may reimagine his puff at the start of the film, it immediately rebels at the first spray of adventure.

Terrence Malick's

Tree of Life

, as in

2001: A Space Odyssey

by Stanley Kubrick in his time, is a sum film, a long filmic prayer, of extraordinary formal beauty, mixing religion, philosophy of existence, parental transmission, rebellion of a son against the overly authoritarian education of his father . Conceived like the roots and rhizomes of a tree, the film branches out into scattered narrative shards. Malick breaks free from the codes of classic cinema. He constructs this family chronicle in the deep America of the 1950s like a gigantic kaleidoscope, a cinematographic stained glass window of 2:18. Surprising sequences recounting the creation of the universe are inserted between the scenes of family life. Malick's camera eye often observes things with the gaze of the sky, the stars, or the treetops. Like the eyes ofa child watching his father from below. A domineering father steeped in religion, embodied by a prodigious and fair Brad Pitt. The mother being tender, loving (Jessica Chastain), trying to give confidence to her three sons.

Monsieur Hulot's Holidays

, the years

Each image

of Monsieur Hulot's Holidays

is a postcard sent in 1953 from Saint-Marc-sur-Mer where his hotel de la Plage welcomes serious vacationers every year. Monsieur Hulot arrives - always late, of course, the delay, that is to say the delay which is the trademark of Tati - in this assembly like a dog in a game of skittles. As soon as he opens the door, there is a wave of panic. Curiously, when we see this burlesque classic again, we laugh, rocked by the jazz of Alain Romans, not cult scenes (the tennis game, the fireworks, the boat broken in two, the famous convertible , finely manipulated model of a Salmson AL3?), but more minor scenes, such as table tennis, burial with the tire as a crown or even the scene of spurs.As for the famous primitive sequence of the station platform and its incomprehensible correspondences - the sound, the always inflated noises have a singular dimension in Tati - it naturally remains a summit.

Bandits Bandits

, (re) visit history

In the near future of the 1980s, Kevin is a little boy like any other. One night, a flock of dwarves settles in his room and leads him on an adventure through the ages. Their objective ? Thwart the plans of Evil. If the special effects of this fantastic delirium by Terry Gilliam have aged a bit,

Bandits Bandits

remains a pleasant adventure film to watch as a family. It is with pleasure that we meet again Ian Holm (who will later play another character who left to fight the countryside with small beings) in Napoleon, Sean Connery in Agamemnon or John Cleese in Robin Hood. Supported by its cast, to which is added Shelley Duval, the second film as the sole director of theformer Monty Python had been a great success when it was released in 1982.

To avoid

The Life of Adele

, plumbing

Someone really needs to give Abdellatif Kechiche a watch. His film lasts three hours. All this to tell what? American Civil War? The Russian revolution? You're not there: just the love story between two girls in the north of France. Suspecting the fragility of his subject, Kechiche stretches it out, spread it out, confuses breadth and redundancy. The absence of a Selznick producer is sorely felt. Disappointed by her experience with a boy, a high school student sets her sights on a young lady with blue hair. This detail proves that the latter is an artist. She sips strawberry milk, talks about Sartre. The youngest listens to him speechless. They like each other, get closer. Their bodies are revealed in sound embraces, punctuated by the noises of the sink. They areexhausted in gymnastics not yet approved for the Olympic Games. These sequences never end. After a while it looks like a wrestling fight

Borat

.

Obviously that was not the goal.
