L'Histoire de l'humanité
1957 100 min 22 vues
L'argument science-fictionnel est mince: un conseil des anciens intersidéral est réunit pour juger l'humanité, prétexte à un scénario lourdingue qui se résume à un catalogue de tableaux historiques statiques et stéréotypes. Tout le monde y passe : Cléopâtre, Néron, Aristote Jeanne d'arc, Leonard de Vinci, Christophe Colomb, à l'occasion de scénettes fauchées, enrichies de stock-shots, qui hésitent entre le pompeux et le comique, le film assenant sans finesse son message chrétien. Peut être peut-on déjà voir chez Irwin Allen, futur producteur de "la tour infernale" et de "l'aventure du Poséidon", un attrait pour les grandes catastrophes. Les quelques curiosités qu'offre la pléthorique distribution (la prestation amusante de Vincent Price, distingué et ironique tel qu'à l'accoutumée, des Marx Brothers sur le retour et un jeune Denis Hopper qui interprète Napoléon) ne suffisent pas à sauver le film de sa pesanteur et le spectateur de l'ennui.

The film uses voice-overs, archival footage, and film clips to examine Berlin's vital filmmaking in the 1920s; then it follows a producer, directors, composers, editors, writers, and actors to Hollywood: some succeeded and many found no work. Among those profiled are Erich Pommer, Joseph May, Ernst Lubitsch, Fritz Lang, Billy Wilder, and Peter Lorre. Once in Hollywood, these exiles helped each other, housed new arrivals, and raised money so others could escape. Some worked on anti-Nazi films, like Casablanca. The themes and lighting of German Expressionism gave rise in Hollywood to film noir.
