Chromosomes XX

« Chromosomes XX » met en vedette 10 films divers qui illustrent la créativité féminine dans le cinéma de genre. Performances nuancées et réalisation peaufinée donnent de la vitalité aux thèmes déroutants du vampirisme, du métamorphisme et de la désagrégation mentale, pour n’en citer que quelques-uns. Préparez-vous à affronter des beautés toxiques et des dames enivrées de carnage qui, dans le registre de l’horreur, éclipsent bon nombre de leurs pendants masculins.

On découvrira ainsi une Deneuve psychotique qui matraque et taillade dans Répulsion de Polanski, ou une Adjani rendue tout aussi folle par un désir insatiable dans Possession de Zulawski. Dans le classique La Féline de Tourneur, la douce Simone Simon est transformée par la colère en un léopard meurtrierLe brutal Sœurs de sang de De Palma n’est pas en reste, consacrant le pouvoir destructeur de la femme.

Aux frontières de l’aube de Katherine Bigelow grouille de vampires trash qui contrastent socialement avec l’élégante comtesse assoiffée de sang des Lèvres Rouges de Kümel. Le mal ne connaît aucune limite d’âge, dans Mais ne nous délivrez pas du mal de Séria, ces néophytes insouciantes s’y adonnent lors des vacances scolaires.

Sur une note (un peu) plus légère, essayez le Carnaval des âmes, dont l’héroïne ne commet qu’un seul péché : celui de crever l’écran (et de hanter les rêves de Lynch) par son inquiétante étrangeté. Les sorcières d’Eastwick, dont les respectables personnages féminins deviennent accro au sexe avec un Jack Nicholson démoniaque, finira d’égayer le tableau. Savourez ces trésors à la sauce XX ; il y en a encore beaucoup d’autres à (re)découvrir.

Guest of honor

John Landis

The menacing euphoria of entertainment

John Landis is the youngest of the “movie brats” generation, which in the 1970s and 1980s provided Hollywood with the new blood it needed. He was the youngest of the naughty boys, the one who made fun of everything and exposed hidden aspects of the system.
In 1978, Animal House shattered the frat comedy codes and introduced John Belushi, later to star in The Blues Brothers, a tribute to Black music, implicitly present in most Landis films. At a time when horror cinema was being renewed by auteurs such as Tobe Hooper and Joe Dante, Landis directed An American Werewolf in London in 1981, a film in which comedy did not defuse horror, but added an unprecedented satirical dimension to it. Twelve years later, Innocent Blood got the same treatment.

By placing American pop culture, childish and trivial, poetic and vulgar, at the heart of his work, Landis exposed its ambivalence. In his cinema, laughter and nostalgia are never quite free from a vague feeling of unease.
