“L’Homme qui a perdu son ombre” is a cogent metaphor for a society that is in danger of losing its soul… ~James Travers

The post Alain Tanner – L’Homme qui a perdu son ombre AKA The Man Who Lost His Shadow (1991) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“Alain Tanner’s sparse, beautiful film is a philosophical reflection on and a poetic, atmospheric representation of human homelessness.”

Synopsis:
“No man’s land” tells the story of four people trying to fulfil their most basic desires in life. A group of young people meet up regularly in a nightclub situated in a former customs house on the Swiss-French border, as a means of escape from their drab lives. No Man’s Land is an “in- between” film. Between staying and leaving, between Paul and Jean, about friendship, between Paul and Madeleine, Jean and Mali, Jean and Lucie, about love. Between Paul and his route of escape, Jean and his territory, Madeleine and her music, Mali and her exile.

Synopsis

In September 1956, two young Swiss film enthusiasts, Claude Goretta and Alain Tanner applied for a grant from the British Film Institute to finance a film about London’s Piccadilly on Saturday night. Both in their mid-twenties, they were working at the BFI, where they had met Lindsay Anderson and the other Free Cinema members, as well film critics like Derek Prouse and John Berger, who offered encouragement and support.

At the BFI they also discovered the work of film-makers like Jean Vigo, a major influence. But it was the success of the first two Free Cinema programmes a few months earlier which convinced them to try their luck and make their own Free Cinema-style short.

With a £240 grant from the BFI Experimental Film Fund, they began shooting in the Piccadilly Circus area over 25 Saturday nights, with an unpaid crew of just the two directors and John Fletcher as cameraman/sound recordist. They filmed more than 6,000 feet of footage, which took four months to edit. The main challenge was the sophisticated soundtrack.

A distinctive feature of Nice Time was the complex relationship between the images and the soundtrack which, in typical Free Cinema fashion, was recorded separately. Nice Time’s imaginative approach to sound and quick cutting recalled Vigo’s A Propos de Nice (1930) as well as Lindsay Anderson’s O Dreamland (1953).

In 17 minutes and 190 shots, the two directors captured the hopes and disappointments of mid-1950s crowds – real crowds – in search of amusement and escape in what was considered London’s entertainment centre, with its Eros statue and giant neon signs.

Quote:
A very unusual, quietly intense experience, the film’s beating heart is Myriam Mézières, who co-wrote the script and is in every scene. Never afraid to appear ridiculous, she gives her all to the role, whilst Tanner (with whom she had a relationship) coolly observes from a distance through the soft, hazy grain of 16mm. The film unfolds in a dreamlike manner as the protagonist Mercedes slides from passionate, sensitive actress towards an increasingly fragile and needy state, suffering from a hunger that can only be satiated by pure, ceaseless love.

The post Alain Tanner – Une flamme dans mon coeur AKA A Flame in My Heart (1987) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
An ageing writer Paul is determined to make a film but he cannot decide on the subject or location. Instead, he chooses to concentrate his efforts on finding the actress who will star in the film, believing that she will define the lead character and content of the film. He recruits a young man, Jean, to try to find an Italian actress, Dara, whom he has lost sight of. Jean finds Dara in a small Italian town, serving in a modest restaurant, but she refuses to return to acting…

The post Alain Tanner – La vallée fantôme (1987) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
That the critics baptized the wave which emerged at this time as the “new Swiss cinema” simply reflects the fact that the “old” Swiss cinema was unknown to the cinema-going public. Today, the appeal and energy of this first film remain undiminished, magnified by the exceptional stature and presence of François Simon and the sublimely uncluttered camera work of Renato Berta. Tanner drew his subject matter from what he saw of the events of May ’68 in Paris, which he covered for Swiss television. Unimpressed by the ideological pronouncements of the young demonstrators (Tanner was nearly 40 and mistrustful of the siren songs of militancy), he was more struck by the elderly people marching alongside them.

The film therefore paints the portrait of an old man who decides to abandon his comfortable bourgeois way of life and live with a bohemian couple. There he rediscovers his freedom to think and his joie de vivre. As Mireille Amiel points in Cinéma 70: “Charles, Dead or alive, which the author himself defines as a ‘small-scale historical fresco’ is a good example of the best of political cinema in our developed Western societies.” It is also worth adding another, definitive judgment, pronounced by Jean-Louis Bory in Le Nouvel Observator: “It is the most intelligent film inspired by the spirit of May ’68.”

The post Alain Tanner – Charles mort ou vif AKA Charles, Dead or Alive (1969) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
‘Two men, arty though somewhat staid, are drawn to the spirited and quixotic Rosemonde, a young working-class woman whom they meet because they’re writing a teleplay about a minor but curious event in which either her uncle was wounded while cleaning his rifle or she shot him. Pierre is a free-lance journalist hired to write the script; he’s short of time so he asks a Bohemian novelist friend, Paul, to help. Pierre wants facts and tracks down Rosemonde for interviews that lead to other explorations; Paul only wants to imagine her and needs little more than her name to do so. But he does meet her, and she entangles him, too. Did she cause the shooting? Is she venomous or innocent?’
