a quiet place
Without a sound, the trailer of A Quiet Place terrifies us It is a long time ago when John Krasinski was just the candid
mansion of The Office. Witness the first terrifying trailer of the film he has
just made: A Quiet Place.
After playing the ultra-patriotic and bloodthirsty mercenaries in
13 Hours for Michael Bay and as he prepares to play the action men knives Swiss
in the serial adaptation of the adventures of Jack Ryan produced by Amazon,
John Krasinski add a new string to his bow with this horror film, which he
stages.
It will be his first passage behind the camera, and it intrigues us
all the more as it belongs to a genre where we did not expect the artist. Quiet
Place transports us to the edge of a building where all the inhabitants have
made a vow of silence. It is not a gang of happy curettons in a parish retreat,
but a family, tracked by mysterious creatures, reacting to the sound.
On the program, a mysterious universe, reminiscent of Mr.
Shyamalan's Signs, and where Emily Blunt seems particularly invested. A Quiet
Place will be released on April 18, 2018 under the title Without a Sound.
Deeply.

EMILY DICKINSON, A QUIET PASSIONThere are films, too rare, that
take your soul back in the foreground and only return it to you when the light
comes back on, leaving you dazed, with the impression of having experienced an
artistic experience overwhelming. Emily Dickinson, a quiet passion is one of
them. There are filmed portraits of artists who manage to approach, through
their very realization, the genius of the author evoked. Emily Dickinson, a
quiet passion is one of them. Not everyone will agree, but I do!
Let's return to this first sequence that takes everything off the
ground: a boarding school for young girls in Puritan New England in the middle
of the nineteenth century. It is probably the end of the year, at the time of
choice, and the director solemnly solicits the girls to reaffirm their faith.
All the boarders, except one, execute themselves: she proclaims her right not
to know, to doubt. A face-to-face engagement concludes with: "Miss
Dickinson you will be alone in your rebellion! This scene sums up the fate of
one who will be recognized - only posthumously - as one of the greatest
American poets. Emily Dickinson will remain until the end a free spirit,
refusing to comply with the injunctions of the ambient religiosity, fully aware
of the lower social condition that is made to her as a woman. But she will
spend most of her life near her family and keep her revolt for her, without
transmitting it to the world except through her poems. Hence the somewhat
absurd reputation that was attached to her as a depressed and even disturbed
poetess - a label regularly stuck to the foreheads of the great women artists.
She will live more and more recluse, not even addressing strangers at the end
of her life, except through the cracking of doors.
Terence Davies restores to Emily Dickinson all her complexity and
even makes her, at least in the first part of her life, a being endowed with a
formidable humor, able with her sister and best friend, suffragette
particularly impertinent and cynical, to swinging vanilla valves and other
murderous replicas. So as surprising as it may seem, Terence Davies' film is
also a funny film, with deliciously chiseled and incisive dialogues, for
example when the two sisters put their silly and bigoted aunt in their place.
The great talent of the British director is to have managed to
integrate into his story the poems of Emily Dickinson, making the film itself a
poetic work. From her youth, scarcely had the seminary given up, Emily rose
every night to write, with the secret hope of being published one day. His
questions are overwhelming, more and more serious as the age advances, when
life is cruel, his loved ones disappear or move away, punctuate the story. And
the superb staging of precision reflects the world that darkens around the
poetess, with this unforgettable scene where we see aging protagonists, or
these inserts to discuss the American Civil War, a great break in life. Emily
Dickinson.
Through the colors, the light, the music, the film follows the
states of soul and creation of the artist: soft light for the first part, the
young woman seems to be a model of Vermeer; dark colors for the end of the
film, contrasting with the white dresses that the heroine chooses to wear when
her mother dies ...
