Bookmakers #18 - L’écrivain du mois : Bertrand Blier
« Quand on écrit, on est un gangster impuni, jamais attrapé. » Né en 1939 à Boulogne-Billancourt, Bertrand Blier est l’auteur-réalisateur de dix-neuf longs-métrages qui l’ont imposé comme l’un des francs-tireurs du cinéma français, du documentaire « Hitler… connais pas ! » (1963), jusqu’à « Convoi exceptionnel » (2019). Parmi ses hold-ups, citons ses 5,7 millions d’entrées avec un film culte, violent, drôle et choquant, « Les Valseuses » (1974) ; l’Oscar du meilleur film étranger pour « Préparez vos mouchoirs » (1978) ; ses trois Césars du scénario (1980, 1985, 1989), pour « Buffet froid », « Notre histoire » et « Trop belle pour toi », ce dernier film remportant également le Grand Prix du festival de Cannes ; sans oublier le grand prix européen de la Mostra de Venise, pour « 1, 2, 3, soleil » (1993).
Entre les tournages, Blier écrit du théâtre et des romans pleins de verve et d’humour désespéré, dont le très réjouissant « Fragile des bronches » (2022, Seghers, avec la collaboration de la journaliste Eva Bester), récit réinventé de son adolescence entre premier amour, quintes de toux et naissance de sa vocation.

NB : afin d’appuyer les propos de Bertrand Blier, ce numéro contient de brefs dialogues tirés des films suivants, dont tous les scénarios ont été écrits par lui : « Laisse aller, c’est une valse », réalisé par Georges Lautner, et « Les Valseuses », « Préparez vos mouchoirs », « Beau-père », « Buffet froid », « Tenue de soirée », « Notre histoire », « Trop belle pour toi », « Merci la vie », « Mon homme », « Les Acteurs », « Combien tu m’aimes ? », « Le Bruit des glaçons » et « Convoi exceptionnel », réalisés par Bertrand Blier. Ces films sont disponibles en DVD/VOD chez Studio Canal. On entendra également Une « version de travail » du monologue introductif de « Beau-père » lue par Bertrand Blier sur une musique de Philippe Sarde, éditée par Universal.

(1/2) Faire valser les codes
« C’est un métier d’adolescent attardé et rêveur, de marginal… pratiqué avec des acteurs qui sont fous parmi les fous. » Extérieur jour, un après-midi à Paris, près de la gare du Nord : ARTE Radio frappe à la porte de l’un des plus grands cinéastes de ce pays pour une leçon de scénario à domicile qui, bien entendu, ne se passera pas comme prévu.

Flegmatique, le scandaleux metteur en scène de « Tenue de soirée » se définit parfois comme un « écrivain de cinéma ». L’extraordinaire musicalité de sa prose goguenarde, à la confluence de Céline, Kafka, Beckett et du roman noir américain, a subjugué trois générations de spectateurs. Et quelques réalisateurs – Quentin Dupieux, Gustave Kervern et Benoît Delépine, Alexandre Astier –, qui se revendiquent de son méta-cinéma, gouailleur et provocateur, lyrique ou grand-guignolesque. Gageons qu’ils apprécieront ce conseil : « Au stade de l’écriture, j’accouche de choses effroyables, impossibles à filmer telles quelles, mais extrêmement jouissives en soi. Ensuite, il faut gommer, peaufiner, équilibrer. Puis inventer les images justes. On peut tout dire, tout faire admettre, si c’est esthétiquement valable. C’est à ce stade qu’on évite le scandale gratuit. »

Mais comment ce fils d’acteur célèbre, aux piètres résultats scolaires, s’est-il imposé – façon diesel, lentement d’abord, puis à toute blinde – comme un auteur incontournable du septième art ? C’est le sujet de ce premier épisode qui démarre plutôt calmos.

Enregistrement : mars 22 - Texte, voix, entretien, découpage : Richard Gaitet - Prise de son, montage : Sara Monimart - Réalisation, mixage : Charlie Marcelet - Musiques originales : Samuel Hirsch - Flûte, voix : Maïa Barouh - Illustration : Sylvain Cabot - Remerciements : Eva Bester - Production : ARTE Radio

Stephen Curry - postgame (11/16/22)

The Medal of Honor is the military's highest and most prestigious decoration and is awarded to a member of the United States Armed Forces who "distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty."

During World War II, no U.S. unit would produce more Medal of Honor recipients than the Army's Third Infantry Division, and my guest profiles four of those recipients — Maurice Britt, Michael Daly, Keith Ware, and the famous Audie Murphy — in his new book Against All Odds: A True Story of Ultimate Courage and Survival in World War II. Today on the show, Alex explains how the prodigiousness of the Third Infantry Division was due to effective leadership, and the sheer fact that they were in combat so long, serving from the very beginning of the war in Europe to its very end. We then get into the stories of Britt, Daly, Ware, and Murphy, unpacking their varied backgrounds, how they earned their Medals of Honor — and many more decorations besides — and what their lives were like after the war. We end our conversation with what Alex has personally taken away from the stories of these brave men.

Over The Line - Snap #224

When Melinda Dawson was seven years old, she learned that she was adopted under mysterious circumstances. As she got older and had children of her own, she tried to learn something about her biological parents. And when she went to the county courthouse and asked to see a copy of her birth certificate, she discovered that she was an unwitting participant in something much bigger and more complicated than she could have imagined.

Episode 53: Melinda and Judy

Since 1938, a weekly African-American owned newspaper called The Evening Whirl has covered crime in St. Louis with a style all its own, using alliteration and rhyme, and often omitting the usual crime-reporting words like "accused" or "alleged." The paper has been widely criticized for its casual approach to fact-checking and sensational writing style. But the paper's owner, Anthony Sanders, who has been helping out with it since he was 18 years old, doesn't have any plans to change it. As the pages of The Whirl have said: “If that’s too much for you, pick up the Times and read the theatre reviews.”

Episode 56: Don't Let Me See You In The Whirl

For the eight-year-old Louisa Smith, a day trip to the beach with her father became an experience which shaped her life. The family car was stopped by an armed man, who makes it clear he is prepared to kill them unless he is driven to where he wants to go. But Louisa’s father is a Vietnam veteran, with a unique insight into how to unsettle their abductor. 

Shobande Shina recalls a mistake with money which stayed with him forever, and Nelson Bohorquez from Colombia, offers a unique glimpse of his mother’s sense of humour. And, from Syria, Layal Mahfoud remembers her mother’s lesson in standing up for her future.

Plus, contributions from Debbie Camara, Masiliso Akayombokwa, Dana Silcox, Paola Ribadeneira and Jake Crawford.

The Response is open to all and for the next topic we want you to tell us a story about an inspirational woman. As part of the World Service 100 Women series we are asking for your tales about women who changed your life or your community – or you may be a woman who changed things. How did you do it? Email us a voice memo or message recorded on your phone to  worldservice.letters@bbc.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Twentieth Day Of January (still more adventures in surveillance part viii)

The Colorado Department of Transportation says the 420 mile markers on the state's highways were stolen so often, they had to replace them with 419.99 mile markers. Many people know that "420" represents marijuana - hence the popularity of the mile markers - but very few know why. It's not a police code, it's not the number of chemical compounds in cannabis, and it's certainly not Bob Marley's birthday. Today on the show, we try for the real story.
