Gilles Groulx (1931-1994), figure marquante du cinéma québécois, était hostile à toute forme de compromissions. Du Chat dans le sac (1964) à Au pays de Zom (1982) en passant par 24 heures ou plus (1972), il a produit une œuvre cinématographique d'une grande exigence stylistique et thématique. Le cinéma de Groulx — loin d'apparaître comme un simple phénomène de mode — reste indéniablement d'actualité.

Cynique, Billy Wilder ? On a coutume de le dire. Et grossier, voire vulgaire. Son cinéma est lourd, certes, mais d'une lourdeur littérale. Auteur de quelques-unes des comédies parmi les plus drles de l'histoire, émule de Lubitsch, il est, par excellence, le cinéaste de la gravité.
La force du terrestre et la pesanteur sont au cœur de ses films. Les mouvements et les discours, le rire et la politique, tout est affaire de poids dans Certains...

L'intime, qui est généralement tu, caché, privé, est de plus en plus exposé à l'écran et se trouve transformé du fait de cette exposition: il devient partagé, dans une sorte d'intimité à distance de soi et à destination d'autres personnes secrètes et multiples. Ce faisant, il nourrit la sensibilité du spectateur en même temps que celle du cinéaste et des artisans du film.⍾⍾Dans une série d'essais riches et contrastés, les auteurs...

Adapted from the book by celebrated Belgian crime novelist Georges Simenon, Monsieur Hire is a film of gorgeously muted widescreen color and"funereal beauty" (The Washington Post) that coolly unpacks sexual obsession and romantic love with an intelligence and understated intensity "so delicate that you almost hold your breath for the last half-hour" (Roger Ebert).

Beginning with a remarkable bank robbery on a deserted beach front and also featuring a helicopter heist shot in real time, UN FLIC is perhaps Jean-Pierre Melville’s most perfect synthesis of style and suspense. A wonderfully fatalistic study of loss and deception, and a distillation of Melville’s interest in the codes of loyalty and honor, the film marks a fitting epitaph to one of the finest careers in contemporary cinema. *"A fitting final...
