The post Bertrand Tavernier – Quai d’Orsay (2013) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

France, 1562.

Against a background of the savage Catholic/Protestant wars, Marie de Mézières (Mélanie Thierry), a beautiful young aristocrat, and the rakish Henri de Guise (Gaspard Ulliel), fall in love, but Marie’s father has promised her hand in marriage to the Prince of Montpensier (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet). When he is called away to battle, her husband leaves her in the care of Count Chabannes (Lambert Wilson), an aging nobleman with a disdain for warfare. As he experiences his own forbidden desire for Marie, Chabannes must also protect her from the dangerously corrupt court dominated by Catherine de Medici. Director Bertrand Tavernier translates Madame de Lafayette’s 1622 novella into a bracingly intelligent and moving evocation of the terrible conflict between duty and passion. Though the themes are classic, Tavernier, with the cinematographer Bruno de Keyzer’s vivid landscapes and Philippe Sarde’s pulsing score, makes them feel passionately, urgently contemporary.

Quote:
Post-’68 France as “a curious country” of befuddled fathers and obscured revolutionaries. The middle-aged Everyhomme (Philippe Noiret) is a widowed watch-tinkerer in Lyon, who gets his politics from TV news and “likes to be legal” too much to cross a red light on an empty street. The necessary shock arrives: His son (Sylvain Rougerie) is on the run, having killed a factory security guard. Gallicizing Georges Simenon’s novel, Bertrand Tavernier handles the moment with control, self-effacement, and muted compassion: Noiret’s dazed bus ride back home after being told the news, the activist paraphernalia in the boy’s room (scrawled on the wall is Céline’s dictum about pastoral battlefields) unnoticed by an imploding father fumbling for a bed. A longtime critic, Tavernier has already learned all about the unnoticeable moving camera and the offscreen event that colors every character and relationship. The murder, no bit of adolescent existentialism but a militant act of protest, is never seen yet it propels Noiret to reconsider his values vis-à-vis the law (police inspector Jean Rochefort), the media (journalist Clotilde Joano), and politics (left-leaning pal and Tavernier lookalike Jacques Denis). “Paint not the thing but the effect it produces,” goes Mallarmé. Slowly and lovingly, a portrait of radicals and reactionaries emerges, of parents talking about the mysteries of their children while buying fruit at the market, of people revealing themselves in the way they put on their coats or cut the meat on their plates. And, in Noiret’s dignified-clown slouch, of old men still able to surprise themselves with a newfound engagement with the world — the train hurtling through the darkness in the opening becomes the final image of the locomotive pulling into airy Lyon Station. The flaming automobile carcass is next seen in Let Joy Reign Supreme, “executions will be televised in primetime” (Deathwatch).

The post Bertrand Tavernier – Un dimanche à la campagne AKA A Sunday in the Country (1984) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
January, 1920. 350,000 French soldiers remain missing in action. Major Dellaplane tirelessly matches the dead and the wounded with families’ descriptions. Honor and ethics drive him; he hates the idea of “the unknown soldier.” Into his sector, looking for her husband, comes a haughty, politically connected Parisian, Madame Ir├¬øne de Courtil. Brusquely, Dellaplane offers her 1/350,000th of his time, but as their paths cross and she sees his courage and resolve, feelings change. After he finds a surprising connection between her missing husband and a local teacher, Ir├¬øne makes Dellaplane an offer. This man of action hesitates: has he missed his only chance?
