C\u2019est le deuxi\u00e8me des trois westerns r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par Lang lors de sa carri\u00e8re hollywoodienne. <em>Le Retour de Frank<\/em> <em>James<\/em> et <em>L\u2019Ange des maudits<\/em> \u00e9taient centr\u00e9s autour du th\u00e8me n\u00e9gatif de la vengeance. Avec <em>Les Pionniers de la Western Union<\/em>, Fritz Lang offre sa contribution au r\u00e9cit des mythes fondateurs de la conqu\u00eate de l\u2019ouest et de l\u2019avanc\u00e9e du progr\u00e8s. Le film s\u2019int\u00e9resse aux travaux d\u2019installation de la ligne t\u00e9l\u00e9graphique vers la Californie. Si la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 historique de ce chantier fut peu mouvement\u00e9e, les sc\u00e9naristes la pimentent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cran d\u2019emb\u00fbches et d\u2019accidents violents pour la transformer en \u00e9pop\u00e9e, dans le contexte de la guerre de S\u00e9cession. Le d\u00e9but du film, avec ses personnages pittoresques, ses interm\u00e8des comiques et ses \u00e9lans lyriques laissent envisager une fresque positive et color\u00e9e dans la lign\u00e9e des westerns \u00e0 grand spectacle de Cecil B. DeMille. Lang n\u2019a aucun mal \u00e0 s\u2019adapter au western, genre am\u00e9ricain par excellence. Initi\u00e9 et produit par le tout-puissant Darryl F. Zanuck patron de la Fox, <em>Les Pionniers de la Western Union<\/em> porte cependant la signature de son r\u00e9alisateur. Fritz Lang ma\u00eetrise parfaitement la gestion des espaces naturels, l\u2019action, les chevauch\u00e9es et la description d\u2019une communaut\u00e9 d\u2019aventuriers. Son souci de l\u2019authenticit\u00e9 et du r\u00e9alisme se m\u00eale au respect de conventions propres \u00e0 satisfaire les attentes du public. Le perfectionnisme de Lang et sa pr\u00e9paration minutieuse du d\u00e9coupage du film lui permettent de mener \u00e0 bien un tournage difficile. Le r\u00e9cit s\u2019assombrit progressivement et permet \u00e0 Fritz Lang, au travers du personnage interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 par Randolph Scott, d\u2019illustrer le th\u00e8me de la fatalit\u00e9, central dans son \u0153uvre. Le film se transforme alors en trag\u00e9die, scellant dans la mort le destin de deux fr\u00e8res antagonistes. Fritz Lang a toujours mis en sc\u00e8ne la violence avec une grande s\u00e8cheresse. <em>Les Pionniers de la Western Union<\/em>, titre moins comment\u00e9e que d\u2019autres dans la filmographie de Lang, se r\u00e9v\u00e8le un mod\u00e8le de mise en sc\u00e8ne, et annonce quelques classiques du genre r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par Anthony Mann ou Budd Boetticher dans les ann\u00e9es 50.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARTE diffuse Les Pionniers de la Western Union (Western Union, 1941) de Fritz Lang lundi 11 f\u00e9vrier \u00e0 22h30.
