Swashbucker a ressorti en salles (mercredi 15 f\u00e9vrier) Le Gouffre aux chim\u00e8res<\/em> (Ace in the Hole<\/em> \/ The Big Carnival<\/em>, 1951) de Billy Wilder. C\u2019est l\u2019un des films les plus importants de Wilder, dans sa veine noire, pourtant sanctionn\u00e9 par un \u00e9chec total au moment de sa sortie. Le Gouffre aux chim\u00e8res<\/em> propose une critique f\u00e9roce de la presse \u00e0 sensations. Il dresse le portrait d\u2019un journaliste pr\u00eat \u00e0 tout pour relancer sa carri\u00e8re. Charles Tatum, grande gueule renvoy\u00e9e de plusieurs quotidiens de m\u00e9tropoles importantes pour ses mauvaises mani\u00e8res et une d\u00e9ontologie douteuse, atterrit dans le journal local de Alburquerque (Nouveau-Mexique), o\u00f9 il qu\u00e9mande du travail aupr\u00e8s du patron, dont la devise tr\u00f4ne dans le bureau\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Tell the Truth\u00a0\u00bb (dire la v\u00e9rit\u00e9). Pour Tatum, la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 est moins importante que les gros tirages, les bobards, les manipulations et la recherche de nouvelles choquantes. Un an apr\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e, d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9 de v\u00e9g\u00e9ter dans la rubrique des chiens \u00e9cras\u00e9s, Tatum va fabriquer de toutes pi\u00e8ces un coup m\u00e9diatique en retardant le sauvetage d\u2019un homme retenu prisonnier d\u2019une galerie dans une montagne au milieu du d\u00e9sert, en plein territoire indien, et en se r\u00e9servant l\u2019exclusivit\u00e9 de la nouvelle. Son absence de scrupules est relay\u00e9e par l\u2019opportunisme d\u2019un sh\u00e9rif corrompu qui compte bien exploiter l\u2019op\u00e9ration \u00e0 des fins \u00e9lectorales, et par la v\u00e9nalit\u00e9 de la propre \u00e9pouse de l\u2019enterr\u00e9 vivant, qui esp\u00e8re tirer profit de l\u2019accident de son mari. Wilder ose centrer son film autour d\u2019un antih\u00e9ros absolu, d\u00e9testable d\u2019arrogance et de cynisme d\u00e8s son entr\u00e9e en sc\u00e8ne, interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 par un Kirk Douglas survolt\u00e9. Wilder ne cherche aucune excuse au personnage de Tatum. Ce n\u2019est que trop tardivement qu\u2019il prend conscience de l\u2019abjection de son plan, en assistant \u00e0 la lente agonie du malheureux. Il perd m\u00eame le contr\u00f4le de la situation, d\u00e9pass\u00e9 en immoralit\u00e9 par le politicien et la femme, d\u00e9pass\u00e9 aussi par la curiosit\u00e9 malsaine de la foule qui s\u2019agglutine autour du th\u00e9\u00e2tre du drame. Misanthropie, misogynie\u2026 on retrouve l\u2019univers, les personnages et les th\u00e9matiques du film noir \u2013 brillamment illustr\u00e9 par Wilder dans Assurance sur la mort<\/em> et Boulevard du cr\u00e9puscule<\/em> \u2013 appliqu\u00e9s \u00e0 une satire sociale, une \u0153uvre de d\u00e9nonciation. C\u2019est le premier grand film de Wilder qui n\u2019est plus \u00e9crit avec son sc\u00e9nariste attitr\u00e9 Charles Brackett. En s\u2019\u00e9mancipant de Brackett, Wilder a sans doute voulu d\u00e9passer l\u2019audace et les provocations des films du duo, avec un sujet choc et des personnages antipathiques. Il ne fait aucun doute que l\u2019aspect le plus d\u00e9rangeant du Gouffre aux chim\u00e8res<\/em> concerne encore aujourd\u2019hui le traitement de la foule, qui se pr\u00e9cipite en plein milieu du d\u00e9sert pour assister au sauvetage spectacle du pauvre explorateur. Une kermesse s\u2019organise, avec man\u00e8ges et buvettes, des familles enti\u00e8res viennent de toute la r\u00e9gion camper dans l\u2019attente d\u2019une issue heureuse ou tragique. Le public a violemment rejet\u00e9 cette vision tr\u00e8s sombre de l\u2019humanit\u00e9, qui montre une foule abrutie et voyeuse, pr\u00e9figuration des millions d\u2019anonymes accros \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Les spectateurs pouvaient \u00e0 la rigueur accepter Kirk Douglas dans le r\u00f4le d\u2019un salaud, il leur \u00e9tait plus difficile de contempler leur propre caricature, dans un reflet d\u00e9formant pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme v\u00e9ridique. Wilder est peut-\u00eatre all\u00e9 trop loin, mais cette terrible outrance ach\u00e8ve de rendre Le Gouffre aux chim\u00e8res<\/em> inoubliable, \u00e0 l\u2019instar de cet ultime plan, fa\u00e7on on ne peut plus radicale de clore un film.<\/p>\n
