Quote:
Tourné dans un atelier de la banlieue parisienne où l’on fabrique des mannequins pour les vitrines de magasins, un film poétique et nourri de références surréalistes.

Quote:
Shot in a workshop on the outskirts of Paris where mannequins are made for shop windows, a poetic film full of surrealist references.

Quote:
Fashion is a system that models women of each epoch according to a single pattern of ideal beauty, as if they were objects – used forever by a system of industrial as well as esthetic interests.

Quote:
La Ville bidon describes precisely the historical path, in the parisian suburbs of the seventies, from slum cities (“bidonvilles”) to silly/fake cities (“villes bidon”). The film switch es constantly from a very documentary approach to a fictional delirium in a critical way that is tending to show how crazy the documentary parts are themselves, this is to say the reality itself ! For example, those realistic moments invite us through the process of decision taking : we see the different point of view of the architect, the politic leader, the real estate developer, the sociologist, each of them is quite mad and typical of a particular time. But they also invite us in the slum cities and in the “transitory buildings” where several communities were difficultly living together (the children characters of this film could be the parents of those who are even more desperate and loose and rejected today in all the french big cities suburbs). This fictional craziness of the film is given by a quasi psychedelic portrait of the young scrap dealers that are working and living in the slum city. They are making money with collecting and destroying cars to deal several materials. They are practicing crazy rodeo with their cars in the big territories that looks as their empire for several days more. This “last days” atmosphere is constantly present in the film as well as in a Pedro Costa film, in those two artistic worlds, the threat to the future “ville nouvelle” plays a big role. But in this Baratier film, most of the characters are played by actors and they are playing really well ! The performances of Bernadette Lafont and Roland Dubillard are amazing and the scene with Robert Castel as funny as dramatic. In a way, a very critical way, the entire film seems to be as funny as it is dark.

Autour de Jacques Baratier & Sweet and Sour
By Elliott Stein – Tuesday, April 14th 2009 – Village Voice

(Jacques Baratier, 1963). This fascinating nearly plot-less feature from eccentric Baratier, a director hardly known in America, is a quirky riff on cinema verite, with guest appearances from a dazzling array of European luminaries from the 60s including Simone Signoret, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Monica Vitti, and Roger Vadim. It was shot by the great Henri Decae, cinematographer of The Four Hundred Blows, Plein Soleil and La Ronde.

Quote:
While there is an element of science fiction to this political satire about Latin American dictatorships, that element is primarily used to promote the storyline and the message, and not as a value in itself. In a make-believe Spanish-speaking country of the Americas, a dictator (Zbigniew Cybulski) rules with the usual degree of corruption but as it turns out, his wife is the one who gives most of the orders. Two story strands are then woven together: a scientist has invented a way to replicate objects and, lo and behold, he discovers he can make a robotic duplicate of the dictator’s wife. Meanwhile, an ardent, left-leaning revolutionary who happens to be a dead ringer for the dictator ends up taking over the tyrant’s role when he is assassinated. So one has a robotic wife and a fake dictator now running a country which is none the wiser…

Quote:
A French science fiction film with strong political overtones, set in a Latin American country that is run by banker Gora and Col. Cybulski. A revolutionary, also played by Cybulski, has set out to overthrow the government and kill the colonel. The colonel is mysteriously assassinated.
Gora’s wife, Teal, becomes the new figurehead of the revolution. Unknown to all is the fact that she is more or less a robot, thanks to molecular multiplication. Her husband controls the “doll” and has her lead the rebels to their death.

synopsis
As far as can be determined, Goha was Tunisia’s first entry in the Cannes Film Festival. Omar Sharif stars as a naïve young man who is taken for granted by friends and family. Little do they know that he has more intelligence, tenacity and imagination than all of them put together. The story takes an unexpectedly dramatic turn when the man falls in love with the young wife of his village’s elderly “wise man”. Based on an ancient Tunisian folk tale, Goha boasts impressive production values and sure-handed direction (by Jacques Baratier).
