\"L'Inconnu<\/a>

L’Inconnu (1927)<\/p><\/div>\n

Tod Browning a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 l\u2019un des plus beaux films du monde, Freaks<\/em> (La Monstrueuse Parade<\/em>, 1932), quelque chose d\u2019inconcevable, de cruel et de po\u00e9tique, un chef-d\u2019\u0153uvre profond\u00e9ment choquant encore aujourd’hui, presque une anomalie dans l’histoire du cin\u00e9ma. Browning n’est pas l’auteur d’un seul titre, et toute sa filmographie r\u00e9v\u00e8le un go\u00fbt immod\u00e9r\u00e9 et un g\u00e9nie unique pour le bizarre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dans L’Inconnu<\/em> (The Unknown<\/em>, 1927), un assassin reconnaissable par une malformation \u00e0 la main (il a trois pouces) \u00e9chappe aux investigations de la police en se faisant passer pour un lanceur de couteaux dans un cirque gitan. Il a dissimul\u00e9 ses bras dans un corset et, simulant l’infirmit\u00e9, lance les lames avec les pieds. Il tombe amoureux de la fille du directeur (la jeune Joan Crawford), qui s’\u00e9prend de lui car traumatis\u00e9e dans son enfance par une agression sexuelle elle ne peut supporter que des mains d’hommes se posent sur elle. Par passion, le tueur d\u00e9cide d’amputer pour de bon ses membres sup\u00e9rieurs, avec la complicit\u00e9 d’un chirurgien, pour pouvoir \u00e9pouser la jeune fille. C’est sans compter un terrible tour du destin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sans exag\u00e9ration aucune, on peut affirmer que L\u2019Inconnu<\/em> est l\u2019un des m\u00e9lodrames les plus d\u00e9lirants jamais r\u00e9alis\u00e9s, dans lequel le cin\u00e9aste explore cinq ans avant Freaks<\/em> la th\u00e9matique de la monstruosit\u00e9 et de l\u2019humanit\u00e9, de la laideur et de la beaut\u00e9. Les rebondissements atroces de cette histoire d\u2019amour fou suffiraient \u00e0 enflammer l’imagination des spectateurs les plus blas\u00e9s. Ce serait sans compter l’interpr\u00e9tation hallucinante de Lon Chaney (1883-1930), acteur d’\u00e9lection de Browning (dix films ensemble), qui transforme L’Inconnu <\/em>en exp\u00e9rience inoubliable. Expert en maquillages et d\u00e9guisements, Chaney \u00e9tait \u00e9galement capable de prouesses physiques extraordinaires. Browning a cr\u00e9\u00e9 pour lui plusieurs personnages \u00e9tranges \u00e0 sa d\u00e9mesure, mais aucun ne surpasse Alonzo, le faux manchot lanceur de couteaux.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
