Blueprint A Snowboard Box

«Cochon qui s’en dédit» de Jean-Louis Le Tacon (1979)

"which would forfeit Pig" is a film that is attached to the militant cinema, this film movement of the 60s and 70s forgotten by history " official "film. Yet it would be wise to consider now the influence that this gesture film had on modern cinema (Especially on film or documentary called social). Talking about cinematic gesture is quite suitable here since it is a reinvention (recapture) of how to make films, thanks to Super 8 cameras, lightweight and affordable, and make accessible film to a whole each: in an era of great political turmoil, with a critique of capitalism and consumerism increasingly radical and relevant, students took to the streets to film the demonstrations, workers strikes film their experiences and the film becomes a tool for advocacy and empowerment. So politicized cinema. But if "that would forfeit Pig" is a movie as strong and as effective in his description of this machine to crush the human productivism what is more for its purely artistic qualities, Le Tacon dotting its visions of horror film and dream sequences especially suggestive. "Pig would forfeit that describes the daily life of Maximus, a pig farmer in a pig above ground, a kind of pig Auschwitz (the parallel with the extermination camps was repeatedly stressed by Maxim himself). Filmed in the style of Jean Rouch (total immersion in work and la vie de Maxime qui commente après coup les images tournées), «Cochon qui s’en dédit» est construit autour de cercles dantesques, un peu à la manière du «Salo» de Pasolini, nous enfonçant toujours un peu plus dans l’horreur : celle vécue par les porcs, et celle subie par Maxime. Endetté, aliéné, Maxime est obsédé par la porcherie, est hanté par la maladie et la mort, est poursuivi par l’odeur de la merde. Il est possédé par son outil de travail, jusque dans ses rêves. Et Le Tacon ne se contente pas de le laisser parler et exprimer ses angoisses, il les met en images, comme cette puissante séquence onirique dans laquelle Maxime jette désespérément of dead piglets in the plot of the neighbor, dead due to it inevitably ... "which would forfeit Pig" is a challenging film, which can not come out unscathed (it had been years since I had not looked away from a movie screen, supporting what had hardly shown). A film that draws the riot, as the saying Leboutte essayist. But above all, a film that, while belonging to militant cinema (which is where the top), is first and foremost a work of staging a work of cinema, a work of art. [3 / 4]
