TRIBUTES AND RETROSPECTIVESRobert BressonWhen you ask filmmakers about their major influences, the name Robert Bresson is the one that is most often brought up. The same answer is also given by a large number of critics whose vocation came from seeing the grace of Pickpocket or the tribulations of the donkey in Au hasard Balthazar (Balthazar)... This retrospective provides an opportunity to see, again or for the first time, the master’s films on the big screen and to explore the legacy of someone who, in only 13 feature-length films, (from Les Anges du péché (Angels of Sin) to L’Argent (Money)) distilled an idea of the quintessence of cinema.

No introduction is needed for Lars von Trier, who is one of the most radical, audacious and innovative directors in Europe (a continent which casts a heavy shadow over his first films). For more than 30 years he has built up a dense body of work, made up of obsessional motifs, narrative explorations, (successful) pictorial endeavours and breaks… Film after film, and film against film… Each new project is a minor revo-lution, sometimes in contradiction with the previous one. From the aesthetic and technical experiments of his first films (The Element of Crime, Europa), documentary pastiches (The Boss of it All), and incursions into series (the sublime Kingdom), Lars von Trier has explored and invented all kinds of ideas; a sim-ple video camera to film The Idiots, a hand-held camera to reinvent melodrama in Breaking the Waves, hundreds of other for the choreographies of Dancer in the Dark, a few props and some chalk marks on the ground for the studio sets in his recreation of America (Dogville, Manderlay)… only a few rare film-makers have taken such risks and gone as far in constantly exploring the language of cinema, in inventing new narratives… Lars von Trier’s films have often been contentious, and this is also the case for his latest film released in France in January, which no-one has yet seen but which is nevertheless controversial: Nymphomaniac. This retrospective is an opportunity to (re)discover all the aspects of his work and to confirm his stimulating and unique place in modern cinema.

Tribute to Patrice ChéreauPremiers Plans will be paying tribute this year to Patrice Chéreau, who died in October. A theatre director at 22, he worked tirelessly for a decade on directing stage plays and operas before moving into film. In 1974 he made his first film, The Flesh of the Orchid an adaptation of a novel by James Hadley Chase. In parallel to his flourishing theatrical career, Patrice Chéreau gave French cinema ten films, from Judith Therpauve to Intimacy, The Wounded Man to Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train. Ten dark works, which speak of death and the breakdown of romantic relationships. Showered with prizes, Patrice Ché-reau had his first public success in 1994 with Queen Margot, a bloody incursion into the France of the Wars of Religion. Patrice Chéreau made no more films after Persécution in 2009; he was present at last year’s Aix en Provence Festival, where he triumphed directing Elektra. An extremely generous man, Pa-trice Chéreau came to Premiers Plans on many occasions; a very loyal director, he forged long-lasting relationships with his technicians and actors, the first of which being Dominique Blanc, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Pascal Greggory and Bruno Todeschini.

Bo WiderbergBo Widerberg (1930-1997) burst into the world of cinema in 1962 with his book A Vision of Swedish Cinema, in which he criticised the elitism and rigidity of Swedish cinema. Ever loyal to this confession of faith, he went on to make humanist film focussing on everyday life (The Baby Carriage, Raven’s End) and class struggle (Ådalen Riots). Later he successfully moved into costume dramas with Elvira Madigan and detective films with The Man on the Roof, while still keeping the free, spontaneous tone which made him the forerunner of the Swedish new wave.

Cinema likes to frighten us. There is nothing more disturbing than the transformation of a body, the moment when it changes shape. This can be highlighted by special effects. But it is also an opportu-nity to rethink our own metamorphoses, those of childhood with Alice, those of psychological of moral changes in the world around us (District 9), and changes in relation to ourselves (Beauty and the Beast, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde) in the meanders of our complexity.
