L'Enfant sauvage

Feb 26, 1970
Après avoir été capturé par des paysans, un enfant sauvage est amené au Docteur Itard, à Paris. La plupart du monde scientifique le considère comme un enfant attardé, mais le Docteur Itard va réussir à éveiller ses capacités intellectuelles. La marge est étroite entre la sauvagerie civilisée de la vie parisienne et les règles brutales de vie dans la nature. Victor trouve un semblant d'équilibre près des fenêtres qui marquent la transition entre l'enfermement et le dehors. Les bougies et les airs de mandoline jouent aussi les médiateurs. Mais Victor paie son adaptation à des relations sociales en perdant sa capacité à vivre comme un sauvage.

Il était une fois... « Jules et Jim »

Adaptation par François Truffaut d’un roman autobiographique de Pierre-Henri Roché publié en 1953, ce portrait d’une femme libérée mais toujours insatisfaite offre un rôle magnifique à Jeanne Moreau et fait connaître dans le monde entier les chansons de Rezvani. Proposant une nouvelle géographie amoureuse aux antipodes de l’adultère boulevardier, le film frôle l’interdiction et déclenche le scandale. Plus de cinquante ans après sa sortie en 1961, le destin tragique du trio est devenu un mythe moderne.

Pour beaucoup, François Truffaut incarne l'image d'un homme sage et rangé, d'un cinéaste devenu classique. Mais la façade «petite-bourgeoise» d'un artiste uniquement préoccupé par le cinéma est trompeuse, tant l'homme fut un écorché vif, aux nombreux engagements politiques. Recoupant les témoignages de ses proches (dont Jean-François Stévenin et Georges Kiejman) avec des archives télévisées, Alexandre Moix compose le portrait diffracté d'un Truffaut méconnu, en colère contre son époque. Il prit position avec Simone de Beauvoir pour la légalisation de l'avortement, soutint les déserteurs en Algérie et alerta l'opinion sur l'enfance maltraitée.
