les chansons de fuller (1)/ forty guns

les films de samuel fuller sont des chansons d'images, chansons de gestes, épopées triviales, confidences documentaires, aveux journalistiques qui riment, même s'ils ne le savent pas ....
il y a des chansons sublimes dans une dizaine de ses films... même sans paroles, les musiques de victor young (ici pour le jugement des flèches), sont comme des chansons: lyriques, brutales, épiques, imagées ...



in forty guns, sweet singer is jack carroll (music by the great victor young)
