Bertha Boxcar<\/p><\/div>\n

Premier long m\u00e9trage \u00ab\u00a0professionnel\u00a0\u00bb de Scorsese – il y avait eu auparavant un essai quasi autobiographique interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 par Harvey Keitel, Who’s that Knocking at my Door ?<\/em> (1967), Bertha Boxcar<\/em> (Boxcar Bertha<\/em>, 1972) est d\u00e9j\u00e0 port\u00e9 par les pr\u00e9occupations et le style de l\u2019auteur de Raging Bull<\/em>. Rien de tr\u00e8s \u00e9tonnant de la part du cin\u00e9aste le plus obsessionnel et tourment\u00e9 de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, qui parvient d\u00e8s ce titre tr\u00e8s commercial \u00e0 imposer son talent virtuose, notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un montage les inserts de gros plans, les variations de vitesse de l’image, les acc\u00e9l\u00e9rations rythmiques. Bertha Boxcar<\/em> est produit par Roger Corman pour l’American International Pictures, compagnie de production sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e dans le cin\u00e9ma d’exploitation. Corman employait des jeunes talents motiv\u00e9s – et pas chers – pour mettre en sc\u00e8ne de films de genre avec une marge de libert\u00e9 proportionnelle \u00e0 l’\u00e9troitesse du budget. Malgr\u00e9 sa pingrerie l\u00e9gendaire, cet entrepreneur de spectacle avis\u00e9 accordait une vraie confiance \u00e0 ses poulains, pass\u00e9s les conseils pr\u00e9liminaires d’usage : de la nudit\u00e9 et de la violence \u00e0 chaque bobine. Corman sera servi, puisque Scorsese va multiplier les sc\u00e8nes d’amour d\u00e9complex\u00e9es entre Hershey et Carradine, amants \u00e0 l’\u00e9cran comme \u00e0 la ville, et les fusillades sanguinolentes influenc\u00e9es par Penn et Peckinpah. Le film s’ach\u00e8ve sur un massacre qui annonce la tuerie salvatrice de Taxi Driver<\/em>, mais vient aussi apr\u00e8s ceux de La Horde sauvage<\/em> et Bonnie and Clyde<\/em>. Tir\u00e9 d’une histoire vraie, Bertha Boxcar est une tentative avou\u00e9e de profiter de la mode des films de gangsters en costumes, lanc\u00e9e par le succ\u00e8s de Bonnie and Clyde<\/em> d’Arthur Penn et de Bloody Mama <\/em>de Corman lui-m\u00eame. Pendant la Grande D\u00e9pression, dans le Sud profond, Bertha Boxcar est une jeune femme insoumise qui va bient\u00f4t former avec son amant syndicaliste, un yankee juif et un Noir un gang de bandits au grand c\u0153ur pillant les trains d’une puissance compagnie ferroviaire. On trouve dans Bertha Boxcar<\/em> des accents libertaires et anticapitalistes en vogue au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 70 aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Comme par hasard, Scorsese sortait \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque du montage harassant du documentaire Woodstock<\/em>. Plus intime est la curieuse assimilation du h\u00e9ros socialiste \u00e0 l’image du Christ, d\u00e8s sa premi\u00e8re apparition o\u00f9 il harangue une foule d’ouvriers, jusqu’\u00e0 sa mort horrible, crucifi\u00e9 sur un wagon \u00e0 bestiaux devant les yeux de sa ma\u00eetresse. Dans La Derni\u00e8re Tentation du Christ<\/em>, Scorsese filmera la mise en croix exactement de la m\u00eame fa\u00e7on, et choisira Barbara Hershey pour interpr\u00e9ter Marie Madeleine. Le montage est d\u00e9j\u00e0 l’\u0153uvre de la grande Thelma Schoomaker, monteuse attitr\u00e9e de tous les films de Scorsese, et la forme du film exc\u00e8de largement la moyenne des productions AIP, g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement tr\u00e8s prosa\u00efques, avec d\u00e9j\u00e0 les mouvements de cam\u00e9ra et les cadrages expressifs qui feront la gloire de Scorsese. Notons enfin que Bertha Boxcar<\/em> est le premier film \u00ab\u00a0f\u00e9minin\u00a0\u00bb de Scorsese, qui n’en tournera pas beaucoup d’autres (\u00e0 l’exception notable du m\u00e9connu Alice n’est plus ici<\/em> en 1974). On peut le regretter, car il filme Bertha Boxcar<\/em>, fille ind\u00e9pendante malmen\u00e9e par la vie, amoureuse r\u00e9duite \u00e0 la prostitution et au crime par une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 cruelle, non pas comme un catholique d\u00e9voy\u00e9, mais comme un cin\u00e9aste pudique et sensible.<\/p>\n
