Errol Flynn et Ann Sheridan dans La Rivie\u0300re d’argent (1948)<\/p><\/div>\n

La Rivi\u00e8re d\u2019argent<\/em> (Silver River<\/em>, 1948) marque la fin de la collaboration entre Raoul Walsh et Errol Flynn, qui tourn\u00e8rent ensemble sept films d\u2019aventures, tous admirables. Cet adieu a des accents tragiques et atypiques pour les deux hommes, puisque La Rivi\u00e8re d\u2019argent<\/em> dresse le portrait d\u2019un antih\u00e9ros cynique et arriviste. Mike McComb, chass\u00e9 de l\u2019arm\u00e9e pour avoir br\u00fbl\u00e9 un million de dollars qui risquait de tomber entre les mains des troupes sudistes, d\u00e9cide de n\u2019ob\u00e9ir qu\u2019\u00e0 ses propres r\u00e8gles et devient un homme d\u2019affaires sans scrupule. Il fait fortune dans le jeu, puis dans la banque, \u00e9pouse la femme d\u2019un rival qu\u2019il avait conduit \u00e0 la mort, mais son ambition sans limites finira par rencontrer des obstacles\u00a0: les pi\u00e8ges que lui tendent des adversaires plus malhonn\u00eates que lui, et la campagne de d\u00e9nigrement men\u00e9e par son ancien avocat reconverti dans la politique. La Rivi\u00e8re d\u2019argent<\/em> est moins un western au sens strict qu\u2019un conte moral sur le capitalisme sauvage. Le film aborde les effets pervers et les limites de l\u2019individualisme et du carri\u00e9risme encourag\u00e9s par le syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricain. En effet, chez Walsh tous les coups ne sont pas permis, et l\u2019action s\u2019accompagne toujours de la r\u00e9flexion. Le personnage principal exp\u00e9rimente les limites de sa misanthropie et de sa cupidit\u00e9 pour finalement transcender son m\u00e9pris pour la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et comprendre l\u2019importance de ses responsabilit\u00e9s morales devant la communaut\u00e9. La dimension politique du film n\u2019occulte pas le lyrisme et l\u2019\u00e9nergie habituels de Walsh. Quant \u00e0 l\u2019exceptionnel pouvoir de s\u00e9duction de Flynn, malgr\u00e9 un vieillissement pr\u00e9matur\u00e9 du \u00e0 ses exc\u00e8s de boisson, il accentue la complexit\u00e9 de son personnage. L\u2019\u00e9pisode central du film, l\u2019associ\u00e9 trahi par concupiscence, est bien s\u00fbr tir\u00e9 de la l\u00e9gende de David et Bethsab\u00e9e (qui sera film\u00e9e par Henry King et son habituel talent d\u2019illustrateur trois ans plus tard.) Lorsque le cin\u00e9aste allemand Christoph Hochh\u00e4usler pr\u00e9parait Unter dir die Stadt<\/em> (Sous toi, la ville<\/em>) lointainement inspir\u00e9 lui aussi de cette histoire biblique transpos\u00e9e dans les milieux contemporains de la haute finance, je lui avais conseill\u00e9 de voir La Rivi\u00e8re d\u2019argent<\/em> qu\u2019il ne connaissait pas, malgr\u00e9 son go\u00fbt pour le cin\u00e9ma am\u00e9ricain classique, en lui pr\u00e9cisant que c\u2019\u00e9tait le meilleur film jamais fait sur le capitalisme. Il ne l\u2019a pas regrett\u00e9, je crois. Son film fut pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 au Festival de Cannes dans la section Un Certain Regard en 2010, puis distribu\u00e9 en salles \u00e0 la fin de la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e en France. Peu de journalistes mentionn\u00e8rent cette r\u00e9f\u00e9rence biblique, et encore moins la lointaine parent\u00e9 avec un chef-d\u2019\u0153uvre hollywoodien.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
