The post Jacques Becker – Rue de l’estrapade AKA Françoise steps out (1953) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Jacques Becker’s (Le Trou) Touchez Pas Au Grisbi occupies a significant part in French cinema history; it exerted a huge influence on subsequent directors such as Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Doulos), Henri Verneuil (The Sicilian Clan) and Claude Sautet (Classe Tous Risques). Max (Jean Gabin, Port of Shadows) is an aging gangster who manages to pull off his final heist, a spectacular gold bullion robbery at Orly airport. All is well until Max’s former girlfriend Josy (Jeanne Moreau, Viva Maria!) tips off a rival gangster, Angelo (Lino Ventura, Razzia Sur La Chnouf). Angelo kidnaps Max’s partner and best friend and threatens to kill him unless Max hands over the loot from his robbery. Touchez Pas Au Grisbi was the birth the French policier, a European transposition of the fantastic American gangster films and film noirs of the 1940s. Based on a book by Albert Simonin (Cold Sweat) and beautifully shot in striking black-and-white by Pierre Montazel (Hi-Jack Highway).

The post Jacques Becker – Touchez pas au grisbi (1954) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A propaganda film produced by the French Communist Party (PCF) for the campaign for the May 1936 elections – which brought the Popular Front to power – “La vie est à nous”, by Jean Renoir, was shot by a team of militant filmmakers and technicians.

Quote:
France, on the eve of the legislative elections, between the threat of national and international fascism, the policy of crisis and repression organised for the benefit of the “200 families”, and the hope embodied both by the daily action of the militants of the Communist Party and by the proposals of its leaders.
The economic crisis is underlined from the opening of the film by a sequence opposing the speech of a teacher on the wealth of France, and the social reality experienced by his students.

The film exposes the fascist threat with images of February 6, 1934, the military training of the Crosses of Fire, the threats of war and death embodied by Hitler and Mussolini, and a parade of Colonel de la Rocque’s supporters. It ends with the demonstrations of the Popular Front (images of July 14, 1935) and exposes the policy of the Communist Party presented as a warm and supportive party.

Three fictional sketches, supplemented by a documentary part, illustrate the concrete action of the communist militants:
# A company cell goes on strike against the infernal pace and the dismissal of an old worker
# Communist militants oppose the seizure of a peasant’s property
# A group of young communists (with choir) welcomes and feeds a hungry young unemployed graduate. This last fictional sequence, the longest and most complex, is undoubtedly intended for the “middle classes” and the petty bourgeoisie.

A short reconstructed scene shows a salesman of L’Humanité, attacked by a small group of fascists, supported and defended by the population of a market. The film ends with excerpts of speeches by leaders of the P.C.F. to specific categories of the population (women, youth, peasants, veterans…), and with shots of a crowd singing the International throughout the campaign.

Note: Commissioned for propaganda purposes by the Communist Party in February 1936, in view of the elections that would bring the Popular Front to power, La Vie est à nous is the result of a collective work (filmmakers and politicians) under the direction of Jean Renoir.
It was banned on its release and throughout the period of the Popular Front. The film began to be released commercially in 1969. ” Financed by collections during Party meetings, the film cost around 70,000 F, or a tenth of an average budget at the time. As it was not presented to the censors, it was only shown in communist cells and meetings.”

The post Various – La Vie est à nous AKA Life Is Ours (1936) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
In a remote village, a family of hard-working country folk known as the ’Goupis’ live at an inn, proud of their history and distrusting of all outsiders. The youngest member of the Goupi clan, Goupi-Monsieur, now lives in Paris, but he is summoned to the Goupi’s home by his father, who is planning to marry him to the young Goupi-Mugeut. Soon after Goupi-Monsieur arrives in the village, the elderly Goupi-L’Empereur is found unconscious and the imperious housekeeper Goupi-Tisane is discovered dead in the forest. When a wad of money goes missing, the Goupis fear that their ancestral treasure has also been stolen. Only Goupi-L’Empereur knows the whereabouts of the teasure but he is unable to speak. The finger of suspicion points squarely at the new arrival, Goupi-Monsieur. However, the wisest of the Goupis, Goupi mains rouges, has another theory
