..
..

harold manning/cinéphiles 2 (eric a disparu) (1988)

hey louis, c'est quoi pour toi le cinéma, aujourd'hui?

le cinéma?
rien, j'ai peur que ce ne soit plus rien, juste quelques bribes de souvenirs, ou plutôt des souvenirs d'un temps où j'avais encore des souvenirs de cinéma.
les films d'aujourd'hui?
je n'en vois plus, ni en salles, ni à la télé, ni en dvd, et le pire c'est qu'à regarder quelques secondes d'extraits télé, je sais si ça va être mauvais ou très mauvais...
le dernier film que tu as vu?
les témoins de téchiné, je l'ai vu il y a dix minutes, je savais que je n'aimerais pas, les extraits télé et les interviews étaient atroces, mais c'est pire: un téléfilm larmoyant, artificiel, mal joué, mal construit, même pas compassionel, l'un des pires de téchiné, cinéaste médiocre qui n'a réussi qu'un seul film, hôtel des amériques, un beau mélo criard en scope couleurs comme on en faisait encore de temps en temps au siècle dernier ...

...
...
...
le cinéma, aujourd'hui, c'est ça:


bobby troup/their hearts were full of spring (1958)
minimal crooning, greater dreams: ... cinema ....
