Affiche am\u00e9ricaine de J. Edgar<\/em> (2011)<\/p><\/div>\n

Le nouveau film de Clint Eastwood est consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la figure controvers\u00e9e de J. Edgar Hoover, directeur du FBI de 1924 \u00e0 1972, ann\u00e9e de sa mort. Si la carri\u00e8re d\u2019Hoover est \u00e9voqu\u00e9e c\u2019est surtout sa vie priv\u00e9e, dont on ne sait presque rien, qui int\u00e9ressent Eastwood et son sc\u00e9nariste Dustin Lance Black (Milk<\/em>). Le film valide les penchants homosexuels d\u2019Hoover et l\u2019hypoth\u00e8se d\u2019une relation intime avec son fid\u00e8le bras droit Clyde Tolson. Ces all\u00e9gations ont \u00e9mu la Fondation J. Edgar Hoover, soucieuse de combattre de tenaces rumeurs et de pr\u00e9server l\u2019image d\u2019un homme \u00ab\u00a0mari\u00e9 au FBI\u00a0\u00bb. Au-del\u00e0 de ces peu int\u00e9ressantes \u2013 et pr\u00e9visibles \u2013 pol\u00e9miques, on remarquera au contraire que cette longue idylle romantique \u2013 sexuelle ou pas, le film laisse planer le doute \u2013 est le seul \u00e9l\u00e9ment biographique capable d\u2019humaniser Hoover et de le transformer en personnage eastwoodien \u2013 l\u2019amour id\u00e9alis\u00e9 qui traverse le temps comme dans Sur la route de Madison<\/em>. Nous sommes loin d\u2019un portrait \u00e0 charge si l\u2019on consid\u00e8re les nombreuses casseroles que tra\u00eenent Hoover : racisme, homophobie et anticommunisme visc\u00e9ral, parano\u00efa, chantage et \u00e9coutes ill\u00e9gales, et surtout liens suppos\u00e9s avec la mafia que le film n\u2019explorent pas. Pourtant Eastwood, sous le vernis d\u2019une biopic respectueuse au classicisme souverain, ne se prive pas de souligner la dimension path\u00e9tique, voire ridicule, d\u2019un homme qui passa sa vie \u00e0 construire son propre mythe de h\u00e9ros d\u2019une Am\u00e9rique sans peur et sans reproche, combattant inflexible du gangst\u00e9risme et du terrorisme communiste, alors que la plupart de ses faits de gloire rel\u00e8ve de la mythomanie, de l\u2019imposture ou de la manipulation m\u00e9diatique. Cette soif de reconnaissance et de pouvoir, d\u00e9mesur\u00e9e et pathologique, a fini par imposer Hoover comme un personnage cl\u00e9 de l\u2019histoire du XX\u00e8me si\u00e8cle des Etats-Unis, alors que le film laisse finalement entendre que Hoover, malade, retors et bouffi d\u2019orgueil (complexe d\u2019\u0152dipe aidant) a exag\u00e9r\u00e9 son r\u00f4le de ma\u00eetre de marionnettes tirant les ficelles politiciennes gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses dossiers secrets et sa collection de ragots. \u00ab L\u2019homme le plus puissant du monde\u00a0\u00bb tel que le pr\u00e9sente l\u2019affiche du film \u2013 validant de mani\u00e8re trompeuse la version officielle \u2013 n\u2019est-il pas justement d\u00e9crit comme un impuissant, dans tous les sens du terme, incapable de danser avec une femme, d\u2019aimer physiquement un homme ou d\u2019emp\u00eacher son ennemi jur\u00e9 Martin Luther King d\u2019obtenir le Prix Nobel de la Paix, malgr\u00e9 des falsifications et des menaces immondes? Son go\u00fbt de la surveillance et du fichage aura davantage servi \u00e0 calmer ses n\u00e9vroses personnelles qu\u2019\u00e0 prot\u00e9ger l\u2019Am\u00e9rique de menaces fant\u00f4mes.

Clint Eastwood et Leonardo Di Caprio sur le tournage de J. Edgar<\/em> (2011)<\/p><\/div>\n

Ce film fascinant appartient \u00e0 la veine sombre et tourment\u00e9e de son auteur. Une nouvelle fois la mort ou la corruption d\u2019un enfant y repr\u00e9sente le mal absolu, apr\u00e8s Un monde parfait<\/em>, Mystic River<\/em>, L\u2019Echange<\/em> et Au-del\u00e0<\/em>. Eastwood filme le squelette du b\u00e9b\u00e9 Lindbergh dans un linceul de feuilles dans un sous-bois. La c\u00e9l\u00e8bre affaire qui d\u00e9fraya la chronique dans l\u2019Am\u00e9rique du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 30 assit la notori\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019Hoover et les m\u00e9thodes d\u2019investigation scientifique du FBI, mais mis aussi en cause un proc\u00e8s surm\u00e9diatis\u00e9 et exp\u00e9ditif qui conduisit le suspect Bruno Hauptmann sur la chaise \u00e9lectrique, malgr\u00e9 ses clameurs d\u2019innocences et les zones d\u2019ombre de l\u2019enqu\u00eate. J. Edgar<\/em> est port\u00e9 par l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation g\u00e9niale de Leonardo DiCaprio, impressionnant en double n\u00e9gatif d\u2019un autre personnage historique qu\u2019il avait incarn\u00e9 avec brio dans Aviator<\/em> de Martin Scorsese\u00a0: Howard Hughes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
