R\u00e9sum\u00e9:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une jeune fille\nsans-le-sou est contrainte de voler pour survivre. Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9rob\u00e9 le collier\nd\u2019une femme issue de la haute soci\u00e9t\u00e9, elle se cache chez un homme qui s\u2019av\u00e8re\n\u00eatre l\u2019ex-fianc\u00e9 de la femme qu\u2019elle vient de voler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le cin\u00e9ma\nexpressionniste est un formidable vivier de chefs-d\u2019\u0153uvre oubli\u00e9s. Des films\nexp\u00e9rimentaux et audacieux o\u00f9 le septi\u00e8me art \u00e9tait encore \u00e0 un stade\nembryonnaire. Il est d\u2019autant plus terrible que pr\u00e8s de 80 % de la\nproduction avant les ann\u00e9es 1930 est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme perdue. Des\nconditions de stockage effroyables au d\u00e9dain pur et simple des studios,\nplusieurs m\u00e9trages sont devenus mythiques. Lorsqu\u2019on \u00e9voque Tod Browning<\/em> dans ce registre, on pense\nin\u00e9vitablement \u00e0 Londres apr\u00e8s minuit<\/strong>.\nOr, The Wicked Darling<\/strong> (ou Fleur sans t\u00e2che<\/strong>) est une autre de ses\nr\u00e9alisations perdues. Il aura fallu attendre plus de 80 ans pour retrouver une\ncopie en Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

De l\u2019aveu m\u00eame du cin\u00e9aste,\nThe Wicked Darling<\/strong> peut \u00eatre vu\ncomme une version officieuse d\u2019Oliver\nTwist<\/strong>. La comparaison est similaire \u00e0 celle entre Dracula et Nosferatu.\nAutrement dit, la libre adaptation \u00e9voque certaines th\u00e9matiques et occurrences,\nmais l\u2019on s\u2019\u00e9carte sensiblement du mat\u00e9riau de base. On s\u2019\u00e9loigne donc du\nLondres victorien et de la prose de Dickens<\/em>\nsur plusieurs points. \u00c0 commencer par le contexte et le cadre qui se conforment\naux m\u0153urs de l\u2019entre-deux-guerres outre-Atlantique. Il est toutefois\nint\u00e9ressant de noter que les diff\u00e9rentes castes sociales n\u2019\u00e9voluent que tr\u00e8s\npeu, r\u00e9p\u00e9tant des sch\u00e9mas de comportement sur la base des m\u00eames id\u00e9es\npr\u00e9con\u00e7ues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que le\npersonnage principal est une femme, on s\u2019\u00e9carte \u00e9galement de la figure de l\u2019orphelin.\nN\u00e9anmoins, on d\u00e9c\u00e8le de nombreuses allusions mises en parall\u00e8le au fil de\nl\u2019intrigue. On songe au protagoniste qui souhaite s\u2019affranchir de sa condition\net ses heurts avec ses reconnaissances peu recommandables. Peut-on changer de\nstatut social par sa seule volont\u00e9 ? L\u2019environnement de vie d\u00e9finit-il\nl\u2019individu ou ce dernier est-il en mesure de faire valoir son libre arbitre ?\nCes interrogations s\u2019ajoutent en filigrane d\u2019une intrigue assez candide dans ce\nqu\u2019elle sugg\u00e8re. De ce point de vue, on se surprend \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir une autre\nfacette du cin\u00e9ma de Tod Browning<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celui-ci est connu\npour ses drames, ses ambiances lourdes et ses dilemmes narratifs. Le traitement\nde The Wicked Darling<\/strong> est plus\nnuanc\u00e9, car le c\u00f4t\u00e9 espi\u00e8gle de Mary, impeccable Priscilla Dean<\/em>, apporte une note humoristique pleine de l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9.\nOn ne parlera pas de quiproquos pour justifier le sc\u00e9nario, mais de situations\nfortuites qui tendent progressivement vers le conte de f\u00e9es moderne. De fait,\non pourrait trouver certains passages ou \u00e9changes assez faciles, voire na\u00effs.\nMais cette romance entre le riche et la pauvre permet de confronter la voleuse\nrepentie \u00e0 ses errances et ses mensonges. Il en d\u00e9coule une \u00e9volution sensible\nqui met \u00e0 mal sa condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019approche\ndramatique, et non tragique, n\u2019est jamais tr\u00e8s \u00e9loign\u00e9e du style de Tod Browning<\/em>. Les s\u00e9quences les plus\ntendues s\u2019appuient sur un suspense timor\u00e9 o\u00f9 le r\u00e9alisme de l\u2019histoire appara\u00eet\ncomme une menace latente. Il s\u2019impose comme un rappel \u00e0 l\u2019ordre des choses o\u00f9\nle quotidien nous rattrape aussi s\u00fbrement que nos mensonges. La violence verbale,\nparfois physique, accentue ce clivage entre les ambitions et les obligations de\nla jeune femme. La dualit\u00e9 a beau se montrer plus en retrait qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019accoutum\u00e9e,\nelle n\u2019en reste pas moins pertinente, offrant une progression coh\u00e9rente au\nr\u00e9cit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Si The Wicked Darling<\/strong> para\u00eet moins\ncomplexe que d\u2019autres m\u00e9trages de Tod\nBrowning<\/em>, il n\u2019en demeure pas moins une excellente (et inesp\u00e9r\u00e9e)\nd\u00e9couverte de ce film \u00ab retrouv\u00e9 \u00bb. Sorte de fable contemporaine\nplut\u00f4t optimiste sur la condition sociale de l\u2019homme (et de la femme), l\u2019intrigue\nfait se succ\u00e9der des sentiments contradictoires. Le spectateur est tour \u00e0 tour\nemport\u00e9 par l\u2019enthousiasmante Mary, puis accabl\u00e9 par son entourage et son pass\u00e9\nqui la nivelle par le bas. En d\u00e9pit de quelques facilit\u00e9s sc\u00e9naristiques,\nl\u2019ensemble s\u2019av\u00e8re cr\u00e9dible et suffisamment truff\u00e9 d\u2019incertitudes pour ne pas\nrendre la trame trop pr\u00e9visible. Un bel effort qui se distingue \u00e9galement par\ndes prises de vue dans des d\u00e9cors r\u00e9els. A noter que The Wicked Darling<\/strong> marque la premi\u00e8re collaboration entre Lon Chaney <\/em>et Tod Browning<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N.B.<\/strong> Bien\nqu\u2019il soit tomb\u00e9 dans le domaine public, The\nWicked Darling<\/strong> fait partie de la s\u00e9lection du coffret \u00ab En hommage \u00e0 Tod Browning<\/em> \u00bb, disponible chez\nBach Films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
