Bunuel's Awakening / Le R veil de Bu uel (Oj.Litterature) (French Edition) [French]

By Jean-Claude Carrière

Dialogue with a dead person: an old genre that I tried to bring up to date. But there are dead people who are silent and others who speak. This was the case with Luis Bu uel. Surprise: he had lost none of his biting sentences, his brutal gaze, his laughter that makes you cry. I just had to listen to him. There are dead people who are more alive, sometimes, than those who believe they have survived them. Of all the films we wrote together, The Milky Way was probably the most unexpected. Conceiving, writing and directing a film about the heresies of the Christian religion seemed like a crazy challenge. Luis had been talking to me about it since our first meeting in 1963. How could you conceive and produce such an object? When Belle de jour won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1967, he made his decision. If this is today's cinema, he told me, then we can make it, our film on heresies." J.-C. C. Under the pen of his friend, his accomplice Jean-Claude Carri re, with whom he shared so much, from The Diary of a Chambermaid to That Obscure Object of Desire, including Belle de jour or The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, here is Luis Bu uel returning to talk to us about cinema, surrealism... About his life, about our life. Jean-Claude Carri re is the author of many great successes such as Fragility, Sing and Einstein, please. He is a screenwriter, playwright, writer. / Dialoguer avec un mort?: un genre ancien que j'ai essay de remettre au go t du jour. Mais il y a des morts qui se taisent et d'autres qui parlent. C' tait le cas de Luis Bu uel. Surprise: il n'avait rien perdu de ses phrases qui mordent, de son regard brutal, de son rire pleurer. Il me suffisait de l' couter. Il y a des morts plus vivants, parfois, que ceux qui croient leur avoir surv cu. De tous les films que nous avons crits ensemble, La Voie lact e fut sans doute le plus inattendu. Concevoir, crire et r aliser un film sur les h r sies de la religion chr tienne, cela semblait une gageure folle. Luis m'en parlait depuis notre premi re rencontre, d s 1963. Comment concevoir et produire un objet pareil ? Lorsque Belle de jour obtint le Lion d'or au festival de Venise, en 1967, il prit sa d cision. Si c'est a le cin ma d'aujourd'hui, me disait-il, alors nous pouvons le faire, notre film sur les h r sies", J.-C. C. Sous la plume de son ami, de son complice Jean-Claude Carri re, avec qui il a tant partag, depuis Le Journal d'une femme de chambre jusqu' Cet obscur objet du d sir en passant par Belle de jour ou Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie, voici que Luis Bu uel revient nous parler du cin ma, du surr alisme... De sa vie, de notre vie.?Jean-Claude Carri re est l'auteur de nombreux grands succ s comme Fragilit, Tous en sc ne et Einstein, s'il vous pla t. Il est sc nariste, dramaturge, crivain."
